b. On sizes 1104 thru 1106 only - Open target wall
carton, apply silastic to back of target wall and
secure target wall to rear section.
c. Clean the groove in the ground joint along the
edge of the section with the wire brush.
d. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s) and remove
the bottle of adhesive. Using the dauber supplied
in the bottle, apply the adhesive to the groove.
Be sure to use enough adhesive to sufficiently
coat the entire groove surface. If so desired,
a multi-purpose spray adhesive (supplied by
others) may be used instead. HOWEVER,
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO
ENSURE THAT THE ADHESIVE DOES NOT
COME IN CONTACT WITH THE NIPPLES
OR NIPPLE PORTS.
e. While the adhesive is becoming tacky, clean the
nipples and nipple ports thoroughly with a de-
greasing solvent. Use the Loctite #592 supplied
to lubricate the nipples and nipple ports. Apply
the lubricant to the nipples and nipple ports,
then use a brush to disperse it evenly around the
nipples and nipple ports. Use approximately 25
ml of Loctite #592 per flueway [(1) 7" and (2) 3"
nipples and their (6) corresponding nipple ports].
f. Drive nipples squarely into section using
block of wood and hammer, or preferably, an
aluminum head hammer. Burnham Commercial
offers a polyethylene block for setting the
nipples (part no. 8052601). Place block over
entire nipple edge and hit the wood with the
hammer.
Nipples must be driven in evenly and to the proper
depth to assure tight joints. Most nipple leaks are
caused by tilted or cocked nipples.
DO NOT use steel/iron head hammer to drive
nipples without using a wood block. Nipple
damage may result.
Les mamelons doivent être enfoncés
uniformément et à la profondeur appropriée pour
assurer des joints serrés. La plupart des fuites
de mamelons sont causées par des mamelons
inclinés ou armés.
NE PAS utiliser de marteau à tête en acier / fer
pour enfoncer les mamelons sans utiliser de cale
en bois. Des dommages au mamelon peuvent en
résulter.
g. A special nipple setting gauge is provided for the
nipples. Gauge nipple at 90° angles to insure that
it is driven to the proper depth into the nipple
opening (nipple port). Cut-out in gauge must rest
on nipple, with the legs of the gauge touching
finished face of section, when nipple is properly
driven. See Figure 6.
h. Remove a 127" length of fiberglass rope from the
assembly carton. Starting with the area around
the upper 7" nipple port, firmly press the rope
into the groove, so that the adhesive holds it in
place. (If more than 25 minutes have passed since
the adhesive was applied, it may be necessary to
reapply.) Continue to affix the rope to the groove
in this fashion around the perimeter of the section.
Make sure that the rope does not droop or hang
outside of the groove. When the
end of the groove is reached, cut off the excess
rope. Push the length of the excess rope into the
groove at the top corner of the section face end
of the groove is reached, cut off the excess rope.
Push the length of the excess rope into the
groove at the top corner of the section face
(opposite of the 7" nipple port). Cut off and
discard any remaining rope after groove is filled.
See Figure 7.
i. From the "Section Arrangement" chart, select the
next section according to the "Identification Code"
at the top of the chart. See Figure 8.
