Page 4: Product Description
The MWC Series are gas ﬁ red condensing boilers designed for use in forced hot water heating systems requiring supply water temperatures of 176F or less and return water temperatures greater than 86F. The primary heat exchanger is a copper water tube design. Additional heat is extracted from the ﬂ ue gas in a stainless steel secondary heat exchanger located down stream of the inducer.

Make sure that the boiler received is conﬁ gured for the correct gas (natural or LP). Make sure that the boiler is conﬁ gured for use at the altitude at which it is to be installed. This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas ﬁ tter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Page 12: Air For Ventilation
To ensure an adequate ventilation air supply, perform the following steps: Step 1: Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a conﬁ ned space - A conﬁ ned space is deﬁ ned by National Fuel Gas Code ,ANSI Z223.1.
Page 13 Where screens are used, they must be no ﬁ ner than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh. Step 2b: If the boiler is to be placed in an unconﬁ ned space the natural inﬁ ltration into the boiler room will provide adequate air for ventilation without additional openings into boiler room.
Page 14: Venting
See Table 7.1 or 7.6 for the maximum vent length. In horizontal vent systems, the lengths shown in Table 7.1 are in addition to the Elbow Adaptor on top of the boiler. If more elbows are desired, the maximum allowable vent length must be reduced by the amount shown in Table 7.5 for each additional elbow used.

80/125mm vent systems. The components listed in Table 7.3b are required for 80/125mm installations and are not supplied with the boiler. Before starting assembly of an 80/125mm vent system, make sure that the planned installation is in accordance with the “Vent System Design” section of this manual and that all required 80/125mm vent components are on hand.
Page 27 Installation of the MWC116 with 80/125mm venting requires the use of the 80/125mm appliance adaptor (Crown PN 340523). This adaptor is installed on top of the boiler as shown in Figure 7.30. For vent options 3 and 5, sandwich the 82mm air inlet oriﬁ ce between the boiler and the adaptor as shown.

Page 35: Condensate Trap And Drain Line
All condensate which forms in the boiler or vent system leaves the boiler through the condensate trap. This trap allows condensate to drain while retaining ﬂ ue gases in the boiler. This boiler is supplied with a length of drain hose already attached. Route this hose to a drain or other suitable location to dispose of the condensate.
Page 36: Gas Piping
Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver adequate gas for the boiler to ﬁ re at the nameplate input at an inlet pressure between the minimum and maximum values shown on the rating plate. For more information on gas line sizing, consult the utility or the National Fuel Gas Code Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Relief valve (Included & Required) in Figure 9.3. The relief valve shipped with the boiler is set to open at 30 psi. This valve may be replaced with one having a setting at or below the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) shown on the ASME plate attached to the heat exchanger.
Page 39 As shipped, the expansion tank is suitable for installations where the vertical distance between the relief valve and the highest point in the system is 23ft or less. Consult the factory if it is desired to install this boiler on a system having a greater height.

Page 41 ﬂ ow rate must be greater than 5.5 GPM. In these cases, the piping shown in Figure 9.5 is used so that the ﬂ ow through the system is completely independent of the ﬂ ow through the boiler. This ensures reliable operation of the boiler’s ﬂ...

Replace the shaft cover screw. At the end of the purging process, make sure that the pressure gauge on the boiler reads between 5 and 19 psi.
Page 54 Rotate the Heating System Knob clockwise from “0” to the maximum supply water temperature setting (at approximately 5:00) . Lamp should light after approximately 15 - 30 seconds. Once the boiler has lit, Lamps 1 and 3 will ﬂ ash continuously.
Page 55 Other possibilities include inadequate inlet gas pressure or a boiler that is conﬁ gured for the wrong fuel. If the boiler does not light on the ﬁ rst try, it will go into a lockout condition.
Page 56 Check the low ﬁ re manifold pressure. To do this, turn off the boiler and remove one of the modulation leads (Figure 12.6). Turn the boiler back on. Read the low ﬁ re manifold pressure. It should be set at: The gas valve manifold pressures are factory set and should rarely need to be adjusted.

Page 59 Check the entire gas train for leaks. Fix any leaks found immediately. Run the gas valve safety shut-down test. With the boiler ﬁ ring, close the gas cock upstream of the boiler. The gas valve should close as soon as loss of ﬂ ame is detected (within a few seconds of closing the gas cock).
Page 60: Operation
• - Boiler will not respond to a call for heat or domestic hot water (DHW). The boiler will ﬁ re, if necessary, to protect itself from freezing. In addition, it will operate the circulator and the 3-way valve for a few seconds every 24 hours to prevent these devices from sticking.
Page 61 Figure 13.2: Heating System Knob Since a room thermostat will almost always be used to initiate a call for heat (either directly or through zone controls), it is generally recommended that the Heating System Knob be left at the appropriate Target Supply Temperature year round. Figure 13.3: Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Thermostat The domestic water thermostat on the Maui is not intended to serve as a scald protection device.
Page 62: Sequence Of Operation
The ignition module generates an ignition spark and opens the valve. The presence of ﬂ ame is detected through a separate ﬂ ame rod. If no ﬂ ame is detected after 10 seconds, the boiler will go into lockout. If the ﬂ ame is proven and this proof is subsequently lost at any point during the burner cycle, the boiler will attempt to re-light once, then go into lockout.

Frost protection and pump/valve exercise function still active (1 second pulse every 2 seconds): Heating System Knob set to target supply temperature.
Page 64: Service And Maintenance
: In addition to the inspections listed above the following should be performed by a qualiﬁ ed service technician once every year: Follow the procedure for turning the boiler off found in the MWC Series Lighting and Operating Instructions. Inspect the wiring to verify the conductors are in good condition and attached securely.
Page 65 CO in ﬂ ue gas (see Start-up section). A CO “sniffer” designed for testing CO levels in ambient air cannot be used to check boiler combustion. A normal CO reading for an MWC series boiler is less than 50ppm (0.005%). A higher reading is indicative of a combustion problem.
