3. Vent pipe should not be down-sized
(This may cause pressure build up in
the condensate tank.
There are two blow off valves on the boiler;
the main valve at the rear of the boiler and
the water gauge glass blow off valve. The
boiler blow off valve supplied with the boiler
should be screwed to the blow off pipe at
the rear of the boiler and connected to a
blow off receptacle of approved design
piping. All these procedures should be
done in accordance with state and/or local

codes. The water gauge blow off valve
should be connected to the main blow off
line.
Care should be taken to ensure that
the blow off receptacle used meets the
regulations covering such vessels. If
in doubt consult a Fulton
Representative for advice.

Locating the Boiler

The boiler should be located in dry
surroundings on a level base, as close as
possible to the steam using machinery.
See right hand page for minimum
clearances to ensure that there is sufficient
room around the boiler to enable the
operator and maintenance engineer to gain
access to all parts of the boiler. Check
location for ease of water supply and
electrical connections.
