SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install
the AERCO 5000 and 6000 Benchmark boilers.
2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT
Each Benchmark boiler is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weight for the BMK
5000 and 6000 models is approximately 3500 pounds (1588 kg).
The unit must be moved with the proper rigging equipment for safety and to avoid equipment
damage. The unit should be completely inspected for evidence of shipping damage and
shipment completeness at the time of receipt from the carrier and before the bill of lading is
signed.
NOTE:
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Check for indications that the unit has
been turned on its side during shipment. If you see any such signs, do not sign for the
shipment. Note the information on the carrier's paperwork and request a freight claim and
inspection by a claims adjuster before proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging
materials should also be made clear to the delivering carrier.
2.3 UNPACKING
The unit is shipped mounted on a skid and shrouded in a plastic wrap. It can be moved while on
the skid using a forklift.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure
panels when cutting away the plastic wrap.
After unpacking, make a close inspection of the unit to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
The freight carrier should be notified immediately if any damage is detected.
The following accessories come standard with each unit and are either packed separately within
the unit's shipping container or are factory installed on the unit:
•
Pressure/Temperature Gauge
•
ASME Pressure Relief Valve
•
Condensate Drain Trap (P/N 24441)
•
2" Natural Gas Supply Shutoff Valve, and a Propane Shutoff Valve on Propane and
Dual Fuel units
When optional accessories are ordered, they may be packed within the unit's shipping
container, factory installed on the unit, or packed and shipped in a separate container. Any
standard or optional accessories shipped loose should be identified and stored in a safe place
until ready for installation or use.
