IMPORTANT Read carefully and consult drawings before beginning work. The CWL-GS is factory assembled and packaged. Check shipping list as the unit and accom- panying cartons are unpacked. Report shortages or damage to the delivering carrier immedi- ately. Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with the gas manifold and control assembly provided on the boiler when the boiler underwent tests as specified in Gas Fired Low-Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers ANSI Z21.13.
Figure 1 Component Arrangement Installation I. GENERAL CWL-GS Series hot water boilers are high quality, high efficiency gas fired vertical fire tube heating units. The installation of the unit shall be in accordance with regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction.

The 1-1/4” supply line or riser tapping in the top of the boiler extends approximately 1” below the top or waterline of the boiler, thus allowing only air-free water to enter the supply to the heating system. The air trapped in the top of the boiler must be purged through the 3/4" vent tapping by using an Automatic Float Vent, a Manual Vent or piped into a conventional expansion tank.

vent the circulator operation if the water temperature is below a predetermined low level. Likewise, if the water level reaches a predetermined high limit of 205°F, the burner will automatically shut off. C. Aquastat Relay L7248 (For NCWL Models Only) This control is installed on the top center of the boiler.

XI. FLUE SYSTEM CHIMNEY VENT MODELS A. Draft In order to ensure positive pressure over the fire (see specification sheet) and superior boiler perfor- mance, the draft in the flue pipe should be set to -0.02. In the event that the pressure is not at the set point, a draft regulator or draft booster may be used to correct for condition.

A. General NEVER BURN GARBAGE OR REFUSE IN YOUR HEATING UNIT. NEVER TRY TO IGNITE GAS BY TOSSING BURNING MATERIAL INTO YOUR BOILER AND NEVER LEAVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AROUND IT. B. Combustion Air Supply Your burner requires an ample amount of clean air in order to completely and efficiently burn its fuel. If an ample supply is not available, erratic operation, noisy combustion, and fuel odors in the air may result.
