    160 psig and temperatures to 250º F. All WB boilers carry the “H” stamp. An 11” x 15” manhole is provided on the WB models 361 through 422, smaller boilers are supplied with hand- holes as required by ASME Code, Section IV.
  • Page 9 500,000 duty cycles. 4. Heating Elements Standard heating elements are Incoloy sheathed and rated at 75 watts per square inch (model WB). These elements are individually replaceable hairpin type. 5. 120 Volt Control Circuit All boilers have 120 volt control circuits. Control circuit transformers with primary fusing and grounded secondary are provided on all models.

    Pilot lights are standardly provided to indicate “power on,” “high tempera- ture,” and “low water.” 11. Pressure/Temperature Combina- NOTE: Model WB 121 is supplied with individual pressure and tempera- tion Gauge ture gauges. Larger models include a separate pressure gauge and digital temperature read-out.
  • Page 11 (100º F). Pumps should operate continuously and, for the best control, the flow through the boiler should be constant. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...

  • Page 13: Installation Instructions

    2.1 — Receiving Inspection Every Model WB boiler is completely inspected at the factory and carefully crated for shipment. Inspect the pack- ing for signs of exterior damage. After placing the unit as close as possible to the point of actual installation, uncrate carefully and check all boxes and cartons against the packing slip.
  • Page 14: Piping

    2.4 — Heat Pump Systems with High Flow Rates The Model WB will accept flow rates that will give a minimum temperature rise across the boiler as low as 3º F when supplied with optional inlet baffle or oversized connections. Minimum temperature rise can also be obtained by installing a bypass piping arrangement to adjust the flow through the boiler.

    Electric hot water boilers are typically designed for top connection to the main supply lugs and are supplied with solderless wire connectors suitable for copper supply wires. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...
  • Page 16 To avoid the hazard of electrical shock: On boilers requiring more than one supply circuit, be sure that phasing is cor- rect and circuits are not “mixed” before energizing. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...

  • Page 21 If system deterioration is permitted and leaks develop and water losses increase, it is possible to cause serious damage to the boiler. Therefore, it’s important to have a closed system that is clean, neutral, and water tight. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...
  • Page 22: Boiler Water Treatment

    Water treatment may vary from season to season or over a period of time; therefore, there should be a require- ment that the water treatment procedure be checked no less than four times a year, and possibly more fre- quently, as the local water conditions may require. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...

    However, if there is a low or unbalanced amp reading, further tests with an ohmmeter may be necessary to detect the open or shorted element(s) in the group. To test individual ele- ments for continuity with an ohmmeter, the jumpers between elements must first be removed. 750-136 Model WB Electric Boiler Manual...
