INSPECTION

Careful inspection should be made of all assemblies
to detect possible damage during shipment. Factory
assembled boilers are hydrostatically tested at the factory
to insure pressure tightness. Before piping connections
are made to the boiler, hydrostatically retest boiler
sections to detect leaks that may have developed from
rough handling during shipment. (Maximum allowable
working pressure of 15 psi steam or 80 psi water)
The "Burner in the Box"
Packaged boilers with "The Burner in the Box" are
shipped on a wood skid with tie down bands and a
wooden crate enclosing the boiler. The boiler is shipped
without the burner being mounted and wired in place.
The burner is shipped and inventoried independently of
the boiler. Burners from Carlin, Beckett and Riello are
available as options. The 8-Series boiler is equipped with
a universal harness system utilizing a 6-pin electrical
connector. The harness system has been designed to
allow any of these burners to connect to both steam and
water boilers. The harness system is designed to make
burner replacement and routine servicing quicker and
safer to perform.
PACKAGED BOILERS
Packaged boilers are shipped on a wood skid with tie
down bands and a wooden crate enclosing the boiler
and burner installed.
Remove the protective crate and skid. Set the boiler in
its fi nal location and shim under the feet to make it level
and secure. Adjust the jacket for proper alignment and
support. Refer to Oil Fired Boiler Electrical Diagrams
(8EWD) for appropriate wiring diagrams.

BOILER BLOCKS

Blocks are arranged for use either as steam or water
boilers. All steam boilers have a fl anged opening in the
back section on the left side, below the water line. A
tankless heater may be installed in this location. Water
boilers utilize the opening in the front section for a
tankless coil.
Unlike the packaged units, assembled blocks require
a smokehood, controls, burner, steam or water trim,
LWCO, circulators (water boilers), and jackets must be
installed in the fi eld.
8 SERIES BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANOUT COVER PLATE(S)
It is important to maintain the integrity of the gas seal by
careful installation of the cleanout cover plate. Be sure
there is no opening to allow gases to escape.
WARNING: Never attempt to operate the boiler
with the cleanout cover plates removed! Failure
to comply with this warning can result in a fi re
which could cause extensive property damage,
severe personal injury or death!

JACKET ASSEMBLY

(ASSEMBLED BLOCKS)
Remove all knockouts that are going to interfere with
your specifi c installation arrangement. Install the front
panel over the two upper burning mounting plate studs
prior to the installation of the burner mounting plate. Fold
the right side panel at both the front and rear perforated
seams 90° back against the insulation. Slide the front fold
under the front panel and secure with philip head screw.
Lift side panel up slightly to align the slots in jacket with
the bracket holes. Secure with the screws supplied.
Repeat same procedure for the left side panel. Screw
the two folds together at the back of the boiler.
Attach the top panel over the edges of all panels and
secure. The cleanout cover door attaches to the left side
panel by sliding the lower left corner into the slot provid-
ed and up over the fold at the top of the opening in the
side panel. Slide the cover back toward the rear of the
boiler until it makes contact with the back of the slot.
