provided to assure proper combustion.
A. CLEARANCES
1. ALL INSTALLATIONS - Practical service
clearances must be considered (see Figure 1). A
minimum of 24" (6.0cm) from the left side and
front jacket panels is recommended for servicing
but may be reduced to minimum shown in
Figure 2. Subject to boiler and system piping,
left side clearance may be reduced to 1" (2.5cm)
if right side clearance is increased to 9"
(22.9cm).
2. ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS - An alcove is
considered a closet as shown in Figure 2 less
front. Height clearance may be reduced to 27"
(68.6cm).
3. UNCONFINED SPACE (see denition,
paragraph (B) below) - Height clearance may be
reduced to 27" (68.6cm).
B. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR in accordance with applicable provisions of
local building codes, or: U.S.A. - National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Canada -
Natural and Propane Gas Installation Code, CAN/
CSA-B149.1.
1. CLOSET INSTALLATIONS (conned space) in
a building of other than unusually tight
construction (see denition below), provide
combustion and ventilation air as shown in
Figure 2.
2. Installations other than closet in paragraph (1) :
a. Determine volume of space (boiler room).
Rooms communicating directly with space
(through openings not furnished with doors)
are considered part of space.
4
Figure 2: Minimum Clearances
Volume [ft³](m
3
) = Length [ft](m) x Width
[ft](m) x Height [ft](m)
b. Determine Total Input of all appliances in
space. Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per
hour (Btuh).
c. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by
Total Input.
i. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³
(1.4m3) per 1,000 Btuh, space is
considered an unconned space.
ii. If result is less than 50 ft³ (1.4m3) per
1,000 Btuh, space is considered a conned space.
d. Determine building type. A building of
unusually tight construction has the
following characteristics:
i. Walls and ceiling exposed to outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating of 1 perm or less
with openings gasketed and sealed, and
ii. Weather-stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors, and
iii. Caulking or sealants applied in joints
around window and door frames, between
sole plates and oors, between wall-
ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
plumbing and electrical penetrations, and
at other openings.
e. For boiler located in a building ofother than
unusually tight construction, adequate
combustion and ventilation air is normally
provided by fresh air inltration through
cracks around windows and doors.
f. For boiler located
in building of unusually
tight construction, provide outdoor air
through two permanent openings which
communicate directly or by duct with the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) freely
communicating with the outdoors. Locate
one opening within 12 inches (30.5cm) of
top of space. Locate remaining opening
within 12 inches (30.5cm) of bottom of
space. Minimum dimension of air opening is
3 inches (7.6cm). Size each opening per
following:
i. Direct communication with outdoors.
Minimum free area of 1 square inch
(6.5cm2) per 4,000 Btu per hour input of
all equipment in space.
ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 1
square inch (6.5cm2) per 4,000 Btu per
hour input of all equipment in space. Duct
cross-sectional area shall be same as
opening free area.
iii. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of 1
square inch (6.5cm2) per 2,000 Btu per
hour input of all equipment in space. Duct
cross-sectional area shall be same as
opening free area.
g. Ventilation Duct Louvers and Grilles. Equip
outside openings with louvers to prevent
entrance of rain and snow, and screens to
prevent entrance of insects and rodents.
Louvers and grilles must be xed in open
position or interlocked with equipment to
open automatically before burner operation.
Screens must not be smaller than ¼ inch
mesh.
Consider the blocking effect of louvers,
grilles and screens when calculating the
opening size to provide the required free
area. If free area of louver or grille is not
known, assume wood louvers have 20-25
percent free area and metal louvers and
grilles have 60-75 percent free area.
8. CONNECT GAS SERVICE from Meter to gas control
assembly in accordance with Local Piping Codes and
requirements of Gas Company, see Figure 1. They may
require piping of larger size than Control Assembly
Connection, especially if run from meter is long or
includes several elbows. (See Figure 1 for size of Gas
Connection to gas control assembly).

CAUTION
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at pressures equal to or less than ½ psig
(3.5kPa).
RECOMMENDED SIZING OF GAS SUPPLY
PIPING TO BOILER FOR NATURAL GAS - shall
be such as to provide the required supply of gas without
undue loss of pressure between meter and the boiler.
Gas supply piping should be sized in accordance with
the Tables 1, 2 and 3. The following shall be taken into
account:
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in
improper operation and damage to boiler or
building.
A. CLEARANCES - Hot water pipes do not require
clearance from combustible construction.
B. Install drain valve and safety relief valve as shown
in Figures 1 and 3. Note - Safety relief valve must
be in vertical position.
C. Pipe safety relief valve discharge to oor.
Correction
Factor
6
Figure 3: Recommended Water Piping for
Zone Valve Zoned Heating Systems
WARNING
Safety relief valve discharge piping must be
piped near oor to eliminate potential of severe
burns. Do not pipe in any area where freezing
could occur. Do not install any shut-off valves.
D. Install circulator with anges, gaskets and bolts
provided. Five foot long circulator harness allows
circulator to be mounted on supply or return.
Connect harness to circulator and secure any excess
conduit.
E. For heating only system piping, see Figure 3.
Consult also I=B=R Installation Guides.
F. For space heating and domestic water heating with
Alliance SL™ water heater (intermittent circulation
only); install Alliance SL™ water heater as a
separate heating zone. Refer to Alliance SL™
Installation, Operating and Service Instructions for
additional information.
G. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration
systems, the boiler must be installed so that the
chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating
boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled
medium from entering the boiler, see Figure 4. Also
consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.
If this Boiler is connected to heating coils located in
air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be equipped
Figure 4: Recommended Piping
for Combination Heating & Cooling
(Refrigeration) Systems
with ow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during the
operation of the cooling system.
H. Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be
operated in a system which has a large
volume or excessive radiation where low
boiler water temperatures may be
encountered (i.e. converted gravity
circulation system, etc.).
Install a pipe tee at the boiler return along
with a second tee in the supply piping as shown in
Figure 3. The bypass should be the same size as the
supply and return lines with valves located in the
bypass and supply outlet as illustrated in Figure 3 in
order to regulate water ow to maintain higher
boiler water temperatures.
Set the by-pass and boiler supply valves to a half
throttle position to start. Operate boiler until the
system water temperature is at a normal operating
range.
Adjust the valves to provide 180° to 200°F supply
water temperature. Opening the boiler supply valve
will raise the system temperature, while opening the
by-pass valve will lower the system supply
temperature.
I. A hot water boiler installed above radiation level
must be provided with a low water cutoff device as
part of the installation.
If a low water cut-off is required, it must be
mounted in the system piping above the boiler.
The minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler
is just above the highest water containing cavity of
the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of
water to operate safely.
Refer to Section VI for low water cut-off piping and
wiring instructions.
J. If it is required to perform a long term pressure test
of the hydronic system, the boiler should rst be
isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape of
air trapped in the boiler.
7
To perform a long term pressure test including the
boiler, ALL trapped air must rst be removed from
the boiler.
A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible
water leakage, is an indication that the boiler
contained trapped air.
K. OXYGEN CORROSION:
Oxygen contamination of the boiler water will cause
corrosion of the iron and steel boiler components,
which can lead to failure. As such, any system must
be designed to prevent oxygen absorption in the rst
place or prevent it from reaching the boiler.
Problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler
water are not covered by Burnham's standard
warranty.
There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
1. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result
of system leaks.
2. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
3. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
In order to insure long product life, oxygen
sources should be eliminated. This can be
accomplished by taking the following measures:
1. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for
addition of make-up water.
2. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
3. Eliminating and/or repairing ttings which allow
oxygen absorption.
4. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
5. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
10. INSTALL DRAFT HOOD without modication on
outlet of ue collector (See Figure 1). Secure with sheet
metal screws.
WARNING
Do not alter boiler draft hood or place any
obstruction or non-approved damper in the
breeching or vent system. Flue gas spillage can
occur. ETL certication will become void.
11. INSTALL BLOCKED VENT SWITCH
The blocked vent switch assembly shipped taped to the
top of the boiler includes a power cord and a switch
attached to a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket
has a three tooth staggered comb stamping at one end
with a #10 sheet metal screw in the center tooth.
A. Untape the blocked vent switch assembly from the
top of the boiler and uncoil the power cord.
Figure 6
B. Pinch the black strain relief bushing installed in the
jacket right side panel to dislodge it from the jacket
and pull just enough of the black power cord out so
the blocked vent switch will reach the near side of
the draft hood skirt. Do not pull out more power
cord than necessary.
C. Position the mounting bracket (with switch attached)
onto the lower edge of the draft hood skirt by
locating the center tooth (with the #10 sheet metal
screw) on the outside and the other two teeth inside
the draft hood skirt. See Figure 6.
D. Slide the mounting bracket up tight against the
lower edge of the draft hood skirt, so that the #10
sheet metal screw is above the skirt's stiffening rib.
E. Secure the bracket in this position by tightening the
#10 sheet metal screw against the outer surface of
the draft hood skirt.
F. Reinsert the excess power cord through the jacket
side panel hole to take the slack out of the power
cord running up to the blocked vent switch.
G. Reposition the strain relief bushing around the
power cord at the jacket side panel, pinch the two
halves of the bushing together, and snap it back into
the hole in the jacket side panel to secure the power
cord to the jacket.
H. Be sure the power cord, mounting bracket, and
switch are secure and located as shown in Figure 6.

Vent Switch may result in property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
12. TO MEET FEDERALLY MANDATED
EFFICIENCIES, THIS BOILER MUST BE
EQUIPPED WITH A VENT DAMPER.
OPEN THE VENT DAMPER CARTON and remove
the Installation Instructions. READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
proceeding.
The automatic gas control valve supplied on each Series
2™ boiler provides the redundancy referenced in the
vent damper Installation Instructions.
before
CAUTION
Do not use one vent damper to control two heating
appliances.
A. The vent damper should be the same size as the
outlet of the Draft Hood. (See Figure 1) Unpack the
damper carefully - DO NOT FORCE IT CLOSED!
Forcing the damper may damage the gear train and
void the warranty. The damper assembly includes a
prewired connection harness for use on all 24V
Standing Pilot or electronic ignition control systems.
B. Mount the vent damper assembly after the draft
hood, as close to the draft hood as practicable
without modication to the draft hood or vent
damper. (Refer to Figure 7 and to instructions
packed with the vent damper for specic
instructions). This is a must for the wiring harness to
t and the damper position indicator to be visible to
the users.
NOTICE

Figure 8: Typical Vent Installation
DANGER
Inspect existing chimney before installing boiler.
Failure to clean or replace perforated pipe or tile
lining will cause severe injury or death.
A. Vent installation shall be in accordance with local
building codes; or the local authority having
jurisdiction; or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54; or the Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 211. Both of the
aforementioned standards, ANSI Z223.1 and ANSI/
NFPA 211, specify Type B and Type L double wall
metal vents and re clay tile lined masonry
chimneys as suitable chimney constructions for
Category I, draft hood equipped appliances, such as
this Series 2™ boiler. Both standards prohibit the
use of unlined masonry construction as a chimney,
with the exception in ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 that
"Where permitted by the authority having
jurisdiction, existing chimneys shall be permitted to
have their use continued when an appliance is
replaced by an appliance of similar type, input
rating, and efciency." ANSI/NFPA 211 prohibits
the use of single wall metal vent as a chimney, while
ANSI Z223.1 allows it under very restrictive
conditions. In Canada refer to the Natural Gas and
LP Installation Code, CAN/CSA-B149.1.
B. Do not connect into same leg of chimney serving an
open replace.
C. Inspect chimney for obstructions or restrictions and
remove. Clean chimney if necessary.
D. Vent pipe to chimney must not be smaller than outlet
on draft hood or damper. Although single wall vent
pipe may be used, Type B is recommended. The
venting system must be arranged so that only the
boiler is served by the damper device. Installation
per paragraph 12 complies with this provision.
E. Where two or more appliances vent into a common
vent, the area of the common vent should at least
equal the area of the largest vent plus 50% of the
area in the additional vents. Do not connect the vent
of this appliance into any portion of mechanical
draft system operating under positive pressure.
F. Vent pipe should have the greatest possible initial
rise above the draft hood consistent with the head
room available and the required clearance from
adjacent combustible building structure. Vent Pipe
should be installed above the bottom of chimney to
prevent blockage.
G. Vent pipe should slope upward from draft hood to
chimney not less than one inch in four feet. Doivent
présenter des tronçons horizontaux dont la pente
montante est d’au moins ¼ po par pied (21 mm/m)
entre la chaudière et l’évent. No portion of vent
pipe should run downward or have dips or sags.
Vent pipe must be securely supported. Les sections
horizontales doivent être supportées pour prévenir le
échissement.
H. Vent pipe must be inserted into but not beyond
inside wall of chimney liner. Seal tight between vent
pipe and chimney.
I. Do not install non-listed (AGA, CGA, CSA, ETL or
UL) vent damper or other obstruction in vent pipe.
WARNING
14. IF AN EXISTING BOILER IS REMOVED -
When an existing boiler is removed from a common
venting system, the common venting system is likely to
be too large for proper venting of the appliances
remaining to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the
following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the common
venting system placed in operation, while the other
appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are not in operation:
A. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
B. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and other
deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
C. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are located and other spaces of the
building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance
not connected to the common venting system. Turn
on any exhaust fans, such as range-hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum
10
speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
replace dampers.
D. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the Lighting (or Operating) Instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
E. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the
ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
F. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and
any other gas burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
G. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Installation
Codes. When resizing any portion of the common
venting system, the common venting system should
be resized to approach the minimum size as
determined using the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Installation
Codes.
Au moment du retrait d’une chaudière existante, les
mesures suivantes doivent être prises pour chaque
appareil toujours raccordé au système d’evacuation
commun et qui fonctionne alors que d’autres
appareils toujours raccordés au système
d’évacuation ne fonctionnent pas:
A. Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du
système d’évacuation.
B. Inspecter de facon visuelle le système d’évcuation
pour déterminer la grosseur et l’inclinaison
horizontale qui conviennent et s’assurer que le
système est exempt d’obstruction, d’étranglement,
de fuite, de corrosion et autres défaillances qui
pourraient présenter des risques.
C. Dans la mesure du possible, fermer toutes les portes
et les fenêtres du bâtiment et toutes les portes entre
l’espace où les appareils toujours raccordés au
système d’évacuation sont installés et les autres
espaces du bâtiment. Mettre en marche les
sécheuses, tous les appareils non raccordés au
système d’évacuation commun et tous les
ventilateurs d’extraction comme les hottes de
cuisinière et les ventilateurs des salles de bain.
S’assurer que ces ventilateurs fonctionnent à la
vitesse maximale. Ne pas faire fonctionner les
ventilateurs d’été. Fermer les registres des
cheminées.
D. Mettre l’appareil inspecté en marche. Suivre les
instructions d’allumage. Régler le thermostat de
facon que l’appareil fonctionne de facon continue.
E. Faire fonctionner le brùleur principal pendant 5 min
ensuite, déterminer si le coupe-tirage déborde à
l’ouverture de décharge. Utiliser la amme d’une
allumette ou d’une chandelle ou la fumée d’une
cigarette, d’un cigare ou d’une pipe.
F. Une fois qu’il a été déterminé, selon la méthode
indiquée ci-dessus, que chaque appareil raccordé au
système d’évacuation est mis à l’air libre de facon

16. INSTALL ELECTRIC WIRING in accordance with
National Electric Code or the Canadian Electrical Code
and local regulations. See Figures 11 through 16 for
applicable wiring diagram. A separate electrical circuit
must be run from the main electrical service with an
over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service
switch is recommended and may be required by some
local jurisdictions. When installed, the boiler must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and/or the CSA C22.1
Electrical Code, if an external electrical source is
utilized.
For zone valve wiring, a separate 24V transformer is
required rather than attempting to use the boiler
mounted control. Consult zone valve manufacturer for
assistance.
17. VENT DAMPER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.
See Figure 9.
A. The Vent Damper is continuously powered at
Terminal 1.
B. When there is a call for heat, the damper relay coil is
energized through Terminal 5 if all limits ahead of
the damper are satised.
C. The relay coil closes contacts which energize the
damper motor, causing the damper to open.
D. When the damper blade reaches the fully open
position, power is sent back to the ignition circuit
through Terminal 2 and the damper motor is de-
energized.
E. When the call for heat is satised, the damper relay
coil is de-energized - closing contacts which
energize the damper motor. This causes the damper
to close. When the damper blade reaches the fully
closed position, the damper motor is de-energized.
POWER FAILURE - The damper blade will stop in
the position it was in when power failed.
(Combustion can never take place unless the damper
blade is in the fully open position.)
Figure 9: Vent Damper Schematic Wiring Diagram
This boiler contains controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not restart without service. If
damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if
the boiler is inoperative.
Avoid operating this boiler in an environment where saw dust, loose insulation bers, dry wall dust, etc.
are present. If boiler is operated under these conditions, the burner interior and ports must be cleaned and
inspected daily to insure proper operation.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
1. When the thermostat call for heat, the vent damper
will open (see paragraphs 17A through 17D). The
circulator is started through a relay and at the same
time the gas valve is energized allowing main gas
ow and ignition of main burners.
2. Where condensation of ue gas is encountered in
boiler ues a reverse acting circulator control should
be installed to stop the circulator before the boiler
water temperature drops to that which ue gas
condensation may occur.
3. After the thermostat is satised the main valve will
close and main burner ames will be extinguished.
The vent damper will close (see paragraph 17E).
SAFETY SHUTDOWN
1. High Limit Switch
In the event excessive boiler water temperature is
developed the high limit switch will open
interrupting power to the gas valve. The main
burners will be extinguished immediately, and the
vent damper will close at the same time, but the
circulator will continue to operated. Normal
operation will be resumed when the boiler water
temperature drops to a point where the high limit
switch closes.
2. Blocked Vent Switch
In the event excessive blockage in the vent system is
developed the blocked vent switch will open
interrupting power to the gas valve. The main
burners will be extinguished immediately, the
circulator will continue to operate, and the vent
damper will remain open until the thermostat is
turned off. The source of blockage must be
corrected by trained and skilled personnel from a
qualied service agency before resetting switch.
3. Flame Rollout Switch
In the event excessive blockage in the boiler section
ue passageways is developed the ame rollout
switch will open interrupting power to the gas valve.
The main burners will be extinguished immediately,
the circulator will continue to operate and the vent
damper will remain open until the thermostat is
turned off. If the ame rollout switch is activated do
not attempt to place the boiler in operation. The
source of blockage must be corrected and the ame
rollout switch replaced by trained and skilled
personnel from a qualied service agency.
4. Pilot
The thermocouple proves pilot ame and in the
absence of such within 45-90 seconds causes the
combination gas valve, which is equipped with a
100% shut-off provision, to be de-energized, thus,
preventing main gas or pilot gas ow.
1. When the thermostat calls for heat, the relay is
energized. The circulator starts and the vent damper
opens (see Paragraphs 17A through 17D). When the
damper blade reaches the fully open position, the
ignition module is energized opening the pilot valve
and energizing the igniter to ignite the pilot burner.
2. Sensor proves presence of pilot ame. Main valve
opens to ignite main burners.

4. CHECK GAS INPUT RATE TO BOILER
NOTICE
USA boilers built for installation at altitudes greater
than 2,000 feet above sea level have been specially
oriced to reduce gas input rate 4 percent per 1,000 feet
above sea level per the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 8.1.2 and Appendix F.
Canadian boilers' orice sizing is indicated on the rating
label. High altitude boiler models are identiable by
the fourth digit after the dash in the model number. 2:
0-2000', 4 or 5: above 2000'.
A. Input Rate and Maximum Inlet Pressure shown on
Rating Label must not be exceeded. Inlet pressure
must not be lower than minimum inlet pressure
shown on Rating Label.
B. All Rate checks and all adjustments are to be made
while boiler is ring - all other appliances connected
to the same meter as the boiler must be off.
C. With boiler off, water Manometer or water column
gauge should be connected to a shut-off valve
installed in the 1/8" outlet pressure tap in the gas
valve (see Figure 19). By installing gas valve
upstream of manometer, gas pressure can be
introduced gradually - without shut-off valve, surge
of pressure when boiler is turned on, could blow
liquid out of manometer. Replace plug in gas valve
when rate check is nished.
D. LP Gas Input:
Adjust Regulator on Gas Valve so that manifold
pressure is 10 inches water column. Turning
Regulator Adjusting Screw Clockwise increases
pressure. Counterclockwise rotation decreases
pressure.
more accurate check on input is necessary see
(2) below.
For minor input changes readjust Regulator Gas
Valve to increase or decrease manifold pressure
to obtain corresponding increase or decrease in
gas input. If it is necessary to increase manifold
pressure more than 0.3" of water to obtain rated
input, remove orices and drill one size larger.
Reinstall and recheck input rate.
2. Additional Check on Input - Since input is a
function of heating value, specic gravity, and
volume of gas ow contact your utility for the
rst two items in order to utilize the formula
below. The gas meter should then be clocked for
three (3) minutes with stop watch and
substituting the appropriate values in the formula
below, determine what the gas ow should be in
this 3 minute period to give the input shown on
the Rating Label:

Important Product Safety Information
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
Warning:
The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers
(RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When
exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact,
RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a
result of servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled,
may be hazardous to your health.
AVOID Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust
Precautionary Measures:
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work
involving RCF without wearing the following protective gear:
1. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
approved respirator
2. Long sleeved, loose fitting clothing
3. Gloves
4. Eye Protection
• Take steps to assure adequate ventilation.
• Wash all exposed body areas gently with soap and water after contact.
• Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing
machine after use to avoid contaminating other clothes.
• Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag. RCF
and crystalline silica are not classified as hazardous wastes in the United
States and Canada.
First Aid Procedures
:
• If contact with eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If contact with skin: Wash affected area gently with soap and water.
Seek immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If breathing difficulty develops: Leave the area and move to a location
with clean fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing
difficulties persist.
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Seek
immediate medical attention.

DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO). Only use
connections specically identied for Low Water Cut Off.
In all cases, follow the Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) manufacturer's instructions.
When
A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water
boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation) is
installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e.
baseboard on the same oor level as the boiler). In
addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO
with a hot water boiler.
Where
The universal location for a LWCO on both gas and oil
hot water boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply
or return piping. The minimum safe water level of a
water boiler is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is,
it must be full of water to operate safely.
What Kind
Typically, in residential applications, a probe type
LWCO is used instead of a oat type, due to their
relative costs and the simplicity of piping for a probe
LWCO.
How to Pipe
A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO
to the supply or return piping, as shown below.
manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the
probe.
How to Wire
LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC
congurations. The 120 VAC conguration can be
universally applied to both gas and oil boilers by wiring
it in the line voltage service to the boiler (after the
service switch, if so equipped).
The presence of water in a properly installed LWCO
will cause the normally open contact of the LWCO to
close, thus providing continuity of the 120 VAC service
to the boiler.
It is recommended to supply power to the probe LWCO
with the same line voltage boiler service as shown
below.
LWCO Location
Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO
manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch
connection must have a minimum diameter to
prevent bridging between the probe and the tee. Also,
the run of the tee must have a minimum diameter to
prevent the end of the probe from touching or being
located too close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.
Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located above
the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing. This
will allow probe removal for inspection without
draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO
Wiring of Typical LWCO
A 24 VAC LWCO is used primarily for gas red boilers
where a 24 volt control circuit exists within the boiler.
However, a 24 VAC LWCO can only be used if the
boiler manufacturer has provided piping and wiring
connections and instructions to allow for this
application.
How to Test
Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water
level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand
by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to
operate. Increase the water level by lling the system.
The boiler should attempt to operate once the water
level is above the LWCO.
