BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY Figure 2.2: Boiler Exploded View (See Table 8.1 in Section 8 for parts identification).
B. BOILER RETURN CLEARANCE Return piping must allow for opening and closing Burner Mounting Plate. PB Heat, LLC suggests installing a 1-1/4 NPT tee, a 90° elbow, and a 1-1/4 NPT x 5" long nipple in the return tapping before a vertical stand pipe is used.
Figure 3.4 for typical piping. Also refer to additional instructions supplied with the Partner. 6. If the boiler is to be used in conjunction with a refrigeration system, the chilled medium shall be piped in parallel with boiler and proper valves applied to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.
Do not use external flow controls with these coils. Figure 3.6: Tankless Coil Piping, Water Boiler 2. If not using a tankless coil, cover the heater opening with cover plate (item 12 or 16). Be sure rubber gasket is in place...
Use an L4080B or equivalent. Install in the supply piping near the boiler. 2. Steam Boiler with Float Low Water Cut-Off: Install pressure limit control, pressure gauge, gauge glass trim and safety valve. See Figure 3.8, Figure 3.9, and Figure 7.1 (Section 7).
All adjustments must be made using suitable instruments such as found in a Bacharach Combustion Test Kit. 3. Burner and boiler can be shut down by turning down the thermostat and moving the main boiler service switch to the "off" position.
Operating boiler with water below minimum permissible water level may fracture sections. 7. Turn on burner. Allow boiler water to heat up to just below steaming (180 - 200°F). Do not allow boiler to steam; steaming mixes up contaminants instead of floating them at surface.

Airborne RCF, when inhaled, have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), as a possible carcinogen to humans. After the RCF materials have been exposed to temperatures above 1800°F, they can change into crystalline silica, which has been classified by the IARC as carcinogenic to humans.
Drain the boiler at the drain cock. Pipe the drain cock to a suitable drain or containment device (if antifreeze is used). Flush the system to remove remaining matter.
6. Inspect venting system. G. IF A LONG SHUTDOWN IS REQUIRED 1. To take boiler out of service if the boiler and system are not to be used when temperatures are below freezing: a. Drain the boiler and system completely and shut off make-up water supply.
