  • Page 3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ CAREFULLY All boilers must be installed in accordance with National, State and Local Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Codes and the regulations of the serving utilities. These Codes and Regulations may differ from this instruction manual. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
  • Page 4 DANGER DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death.
  • Page 5 It is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below the boiler MAWP. Therefore, Burnham offers safety relief valves set at or below the MAWP of the boiler. See Table 1 for available safety relief valve set pressures.
