C. CONTROL KITS: The following are the most commonly used Control Kits. CK-20F: For operation with 30 millivolt or 750 millivolt gas-fired water heaters, gas-fired space heaters and gas-fired pool or spa heaters with an internally mounted thermostat. Includes a non-adjustable post purge timer. Use the CK-22 for an adjustable post purge timer.
Reducer or increaser ratio (d/D) small diameter divided by the larger diameter. Example 4" to 8" reducer, the reducer ratio is d/D = 4/8 = 1/2. To estimate the equivalent foot length for the fitting, use the smaller pipe diameter for the equivalent length figure. Example 4" to 8" reducer; the reducer ratio is 1/2 and the smaller pipe diameter is 4".
For gas appliances use a Field Controls Type MG-1 Barometric Draft Control. For oil appliances use a Field Controls Type M or RC Barometric Draft Control. Gas-fired draft induced systems should have a single-acting or double-acting barometric draft control installed.
VAC appliances when used with the appropriate controls. For use on a millivolt controlled system a Field Controls HWK-6 or an appropriate Control Kit is required. For use on a 24 VAC or 120 VAC controlled system a Control Kit must be used. Refer to the installation manuals for the HWK-6 and individual Control Kits for wiring instructions.
If this occurs, a post purge system may be required. If so, use a Field Controls PPC-5 Electronic Post Purge. Before installing, refer to the General Installation Inspection to check for negative pressure problems in the building.
procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment. If it is determined that a condition exists which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Corrections must be made before the appliance is put into continuous operation.
System Safety Devices: With the heating system operating disconnect the pressure sensing tube from the pressure switch on the CK kit. This should stop the burner operation. Re- connecting the tube will relight the burner. For 30 millivolt operating systems, disconnect one lead of the spill switch circuit from the thermocouple junction block.
