3) Make sure that the boiler is correctly sized. Use an industry accepted sizing method such as the I=B=R Guide RHH published by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). 4) In some cases, boilers installed at altitudes above 2000ft may require a different burner configuration from that at sea level. Consult the local Crown representative for more information.

V air for combustion and Ventilation WARNING • INSUFFICIENT COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY MAY RESULT IN THE PRODUCTION AND RELEASE OF SOOT OR DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) INTO THE HOME WHICH CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. • THIS BOILER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN A SPACE THAT IS DEPRESSURIZED RELATIVE TO THE OUTDOORS. OPERATING THIS BOILER IN A DEPRESSURIZED SPACE MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

VI Venting WARNING • IMPROPER VENTING MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR THE RELEASE OF FLUE GASES, WHICH CONTAIN DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), INTO THE HOME, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. • INSPECT EXISTING CHIMNEY BEFORE INSTALLING BOILER. FAILURE TO CLEAN OR REPLACE DAMAGED PIPE OR TILE LINING WILL CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Vent installation must be in accordance with local building codes, or the local authority having jurisdiction.

VII System Piping WARNING • INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED FROM WATER (DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC.) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND SERVICE (CIRCULATOR REPLACEMENT, ETC.). • OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM HAVING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE. • DO NOT USE TOXIC ADDITIVES IN THIS SYSTEM. • PIPE SAFETY VALVE DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE SAFETY VALVE MAY DISCHARGE STEAM OR SCALDING HOT WATER. • DO NOT INSTALL A VALVE IN THE SAFETY VALVE DISCHARGE LINE.
• Boiler or system Flooding • Hammering • Failure to heat one or more radiators Avoid the common piping mistakes shown in Figure 11. This applies even if the existing boiler has one of the piping mistakes shown in Figure 11 and appears to be working. If two or more steam mains must be connected to the boiler, connect a separate take-off for each main into the header between the riser(s) and equalizer.
VIII InDIrEct & tanKlESS WatEr HEatEr PIPInG InDIrEct WatEr HEatEr PIPInG All KSZ series boilers are equipped with tappings to permit the connection of a Crown Mega-Stor, or other indirect water heater. In this type of system, hot boiler water is drawn from below the water line and passed through the heat exchanger in the indirect water heater.
IMPOrtant • Some indirect water heaters may not be suitable for use with a steam boiler. Consult the water heater manufacturer’s guidelines before installing it in this type of system. • Boiler water temperatures and flow rates in this type of system may be considerably lower than those upon which the water heater manufacturer’s ratings are based.
Page 18
5) Globe or Ball Valve (Recommended) - Used to adjust the flow through the entire tankless heater system if needed. 6) Unions (Required) - Tankless heaters may require periodic gasket replacement or other maintenance which requires removal of the heater from the boiler. Install unions anywhere in the tankless heater piping that will facilitate removal of the heater.
IX Fuel line Piping WARNING • UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN COPPER wITH SwEAT STYLE CONNECTORS BE USED. • DO NOT USE COMPRESSION FITTINGS. • OIL PIPING MUST BE ABSOLUTELY AIRTIGHT OR LEAKS OR LOSS OF PRIME MAY RESULT. • SOME jURISDICTIONS REqUIRE THE USE OF A FUSIBLE SHUTOFF VALVE AT THE TANK AND/OR THE BURNER. IN ADDITION, SOME JURISDICTIONS REQUIRE THE USE OF A FUSIBLE ELECTRICAL INTERLOCK WITH THE BURNER CIRCUIT. CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES FOR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. Fuel line piping design, materials and constructions must be in accordance with local building codes, requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction, and the latest edition of Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment (ANSI/NFPA 31).

d) TWO-PIPE LIFT SYSTEM - used when a fuel oil storage tank is located below an oil burner fuel pump suction port. See Figure 16. The vertical distance from bottom of the tank to center line of the pump (Dimension ‘H’) must not exceed that shown in the pump manufacturer’s instructions.
X Wiring WARNING ALL WIRING AND GROUNDING MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH AUTHORITY, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (ANSI/NFPA 70). 1) 120 Volt Wiring - Provide the boiler with its own 15A branch circuit with fused disconnect. How the 120 volt connec- tions are made depends upon the type of low water cut-off supplied with the boiler.

XI Start-up and checkout WARNING • NEVER ATTEMPT TO FILL A HOT EMPTY BOILER. • MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE BOILER IS CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. • SAFE RELIABLE OPERATION OF THIS BOILER REqUIRES THAT THE BURNER BE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED BY A QUALIFIED OIL SERVICEMAN USING COMBUSTION TEST INSTRUMENTS. • FAILURE TO PERFORM ALL OF THE CHECKS OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOwING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN UNRELIABLE OPERATION, DAMAGE TO THE BOILER NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR UNSAFE OPERATION.

22) Check for clean cutoff of the burner. Air in the oil line between fuel pump and nozzle will compress, while burner is running, and expand, when burner shuts off, causing oil line pressure to drop and nozzle drip after burner stops. Cycle burner on and off 5 to 10 times to purge air completely.

3) Allow the boiler to cool to room temperature and drain the boiler. Remove the 1-1/2” plug from the unused return tapping. Use a flashlight to inspect the bottom row of pushnipples for accumulated scale or mud.

Important Product Safety Information Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product Warning: The Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RFC has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact, RFC changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen.
