® MACH Gas Fired Boiler WARNING Improper use may result in fire or injury. Read instructions/safety manual before installing, operating or servicing boiler. 1998 HCS, Inc. 800-748-0241 Reorder No. 6020-V2WHPK If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley cannot be responsible for the design or operation of such systems and a qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
1998 HCS, Inc. 800-748-0241 Reorder No. 6020-V2WHPK The safety labels shown above are affixed to your boiler. Although the labels are of high quality, they may become dislodged or unreadable over time. Contact Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley toll-free at (877) 728-5351 for replacement labels.
® MACH Gas Fired Boiler AFETY RECAUTIONS Provide a suitable location for the boiler away from normal personnel traffic. Ensure that you have adequate working space, adequate clearances, proper ventilation and lighting, a structure sufficiently strong and rigid to support the weight of the boiler, all piping and accessories.

Use PVC, CPVC, or other corrosion resistant piping for drainage. Collection and disposal General Warning must be in accordance with all applicable regulations. A condensate neutralization kit is available. Please contact your local Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley representative. 2.5.5 Pressure Hazards •...
® MACH Gas Fired Boiler 3 INSTALLATION ECEIVING AND TORAGE 3.1.1 Initial Inspection Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of shipping damage. Since some damage may be hidden, we recommend unpacking the boiler, removing the top, front, and sides covers and inspect the boiler. Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the packing slip agrees with those actually received.
** Service access need be only on one side of a boiler or row of boilers. Boilers may be installed immediately adjacent to each other. However, Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley recommends this clearance between each boiler when there is insufficient access at the rear to allow for service and adjustment.
The total operating amperage is indicated on ® the rating nameplate. MACH boiler units C750/C900/C1050 require less than 8 amps. Before starting the boiler, check to ensure that the proper electrical service is connected to the boiler. An external electrical disconnect (not supplied with the boiler) with 15 amp overload protection is required.

The outdoor air sensor and programming help are available from the local Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley Representative. This circuit is energized by the boiler with a 5V potential. The temperature sensor must be a NTC having 12k@25°C.

® MACH Gas Fired Boiler Use caution if installing a barometric damper in the exhaust vent. The vent pressure must be negative (Category II) from the barometric to the vent termination at all times to prevent leakage of harmful flue gases into the room. Leakage of flue gases can cause serious injury or death.

® MACH Gas Fired Boiler Conventional Vent Systems Clearances The following termination clearance requirements are for conventional, non-direct vent installations. • The vent system shall terminate at least 3 ft above a forced air inlet within 10 feet horizontally. • The vent system shall terminate at least 4 ft below, 4 ft horizontally from or 1 ft above any door, operable window or gravity inlet into any building.
Page 21
® MACH Gas Fired Boiler The connection from the boiler to the vent should be as direct as possible and the upward slope of any horizontal breaching should be at least 1/4 inch per linear foot. The complete exhaust with drain system is shown in the figure below.
Page 22
Vertical vents are allowed to be terminated with a variety of ends, including plain straight pipe, elbow or vent tee. Horizontal vents must be terminated as illustrated in section 3.5.5. A bird screen with 1” x 1” openings is recommended for the termination. Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley does not recommend using a vent rain cap of any type.
