INSTALLATION SECTION 2 GENERAL (Figs. 2 and 3) The installation of a Series E Gas Fired Steam Boiler should be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with all relevant safety regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that these regulations are complied with.
If the boiler is to be operated with little or no condensate return, consideration should be given to pre-heating the feedwater. If in doubt consult Fulton Boiler Works. The Feedwater inlet connection on some boilers is located on the left hand side of the boiler below the sight glass assembly.

STEAM SAFETY VALVES Safety Valves are factory fitted and preset, they MUST NOT be adjusted. The discharge outlet should be piped to a safe discharge point and the piping so arranged that any condensate trapped in the pipework will drain away from the valve. The lift pressure is indicated on the safety valve.
STEAM PRESSURE GAUGE STEAM COCK SYPHON FIG. 5 STEAM PRESSURE GAUGE 2.12 STEAM PRESSURE GAUGE (Fig. 5) The steam pressure gauge assembly should be assembled in accordance with Fig. 5 using a suitable sealant on all joints. Screw the assembly into the top of the boiler and connect the copper tube from the control panel box to the nipple provided on the assembly.
Conduct a feedwater analysis before operating the boiler. 2.16 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER (Fig. 7) It is essential that the commissioning procedures listed below are carried out by a Fulton service engineer who will have the necessary experience and testing equipment to ensure that the installation is not only correct, but is operating safely and at optimum efficiency.

If the pressure control has a fixed differential, i.e. no adjustable differential scale, set the main scale to the maximum pressure required. SETTING THE BURNER FOR LOW FIRE / HIGH FIRE, MODELS 50E AND 60E The correct settings for low fire/high fire operation are obtained by making adjustments to the two stage solenoid valve (Fig.
MONOBLOC GAS VALVES (FIG. 9) ADJUSTMENTS 6E - 30E (MBDLE 407/412 B07) (With in built pilot bypass valve) Pilot gas rate should be set to a maximum of 10% of the full fire gas throughput. ADJUSTMENTS ACTION Main and Pilot Gas Governor. Turn clockwise to increase gas pressure.

L.P. GAS WARNING 2.18 GAS SUPPLY - PROPANE / BUTANE Do not change the boiler fuel without consulting the boiler manufacturer. Note: LPG Boilers should be installed to the requirements of IGE/UP/10 March 2001 An L.P. gas boiler is similar in design to a natural gas boiler, the main differences are important and must be taken into account when installing the boiler and ordering spare parts.

Circuit On. (Circuit Energised 40E - 60E) Indicates that power is being supplied to the control panel box. 1st. Low Water Alarm. This light will energise, when the boiler is switched on and the water level is between 1st.
MAIN HIGH FLAME FIG. 13 CONTROL PANEL 40E / 60E FILLING THE BOILER - ALL MODELS Carry out the following procedure on the initial start up of the boiler and on every subsequent occasion when restarting the boiler after a shut down: Ensure the main steam stop valve is OPEN.
STARTING THE BURNER CLOSE the main steam stop valve. Press the control switch to 'PUMP AND BOILER' position, the low water audible alarm will sound, the low water reset and low water alarm lights will illuminate. Press the low water reset switch for two seconds maximum. The alarms will stop, and the alarm lights extinguish.
3.6.4 First Low Water Level Ensure the following: The burner is firing. The water level is correct in the boiler. The water pump is not running. Switch the pump OFF at the pump overide switch. OPEN the main blowdown valve. When the water level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the low water alarm should sound, the LOW WATER ALARM lamp should illuminate and the burner should stop firing.
CLOSED. NOTE: Where a Boiler is operating continuously at steam pressure, advice should be taken from a Fulton agent as to the appropriate blowdown procedure. (refer to 3.6.5. (g) 1 - 2). Water Level Gauge Set 2 STEAM...
EVAPORATION CHECKS With the boiler running under normal load conditions, and the pump stopped having just completed a refill cycle: Ensure that the boiler water level is correct. Switch the pump OFF at the pump override switch. The water level in the boiler will lower through natural evaporation. When the level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the first low water alarm will sound, the LOW WATER ALARM lamp will illuminate and the burner will shut down.

To ensure the efficiency of the boiler, carry out the regular maintenance instructions detailed below. If any fault is found during these operations contact your Fulton representative. Note: It is essential that regular checks are made to ensure that scale build-up is not taking place within the boiler.
Blow down the boiler and water column completely. Inspect the hand holes in the boiler. If any leakage is evident proceed as follows: Use only Fulton genuine replacement parts. Using the special tee handle wrench, remove the handhole assembly. (ii) Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean the mating faces of the plate and boiler.
HANDHOLE COVER PLATE GASKET CRAB FIG. 17 HANDHOLE THREE MONTHLY (Monthly tests plus) Drain and isolate the boiler. Remove the lower handhole assemblies and inspect the interior of the pressure vessel for scale and sludge build up. Remove the feedwater pipe from the top of the boiler. Check the pipes and out are clear and free from debris.
SIX MONTHLY (Three monthly tests plus) It should be noted that after a Fulton boiler has been in operation for several months, pieces of burned metal will be found in the space at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces of metal are the remains of a light gauge metal form which was used during manufacture for forming the boiler insulation.
