Thermific Gas-Fired Boiler

1.0 INTRODUCTION

®
The P-K Thermific Gas-Fired Boiler combines a ra-
dial pre-mix fan-assisted burner with a compact, fin-
ned-tube heat exchanger to provide maximum effi-
ciency in a minimum of space. The high-quality mate-
rials and thoroughly tested design of the boiler should
provide years of trouble-free, hot-water service, if the
instructions in this manual are followed carefully.
This manual covers installation of P-K Thermific
Boiler Series 700, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1700, and
The model numbers may be followed by a prefix or
suffix letter in some cases to indicate special features
or different options.
While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the
same for all models. Boilers may be built to operate
with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (propane).
Check the rating plate for correct fuel usage and gas
pressures.
The boiler is only a part of the complete heating sys-
tem. This boiler may be fully operational and yet be-
cause of poor circulation, control or other operating
characteristics, not deliver heat to the desired location.
Additional equipment such as temperature sensors,
pumps, flow switches, balancing valves and check
valves will be required for satisfactory operation of
any system. Patterson-Kelley cannot be responsible
for the design or operation of such systems and a
qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
