DANGER
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
If you smell gas vapors, DO NOT try to operate any appliance - DO NOT touch any electrical switch or use
any phone in the building. Immediately, call the gas supplier from a remotely located phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions or if the supplier is unavailable, contact the re department.
DO NOT install this boiler on combustible ooring, carpet, concrete over combustible ooring or wood,
nor on concrete over any heat affected material such as plastic piping or wiring without a properly in-
stalled combustible oor shield.
All Series 8H cast iron boilers are designed, built, marked and tested in accordance with the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, Heating Boilers. An ASME Data Label is factory applied to each 8H
jacket, which indicates the boiler Maximum Allowable working Pressure (MAWP). Each cast iron section
is permanently marked with the MAWP listed on the boiler’s ASME Data Label. The MAWP for all Series 8H
Boiler is 50 psi (Water Only).
It is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below the boiler
MAWP. Therefore, in addition to Safety Relief Valves set for 50 psi, Burnham also offers Safety Relief Valves
set for 30 psi (By Special Order Only).

WARNING
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained
in this manual.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Read and understand the entire manual before attempting installation, start-up
operation, or service. Installation and service must be performed only by an knowledgeable, experienced,
and skilled installer or service agency.
This boiler must be properly vented.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
The interior of the venting system must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season
and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and
unobstructed venting system is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life
to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efciency.
Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the tapping located on the top
of boiler - See the Water Trim and Piping Section of this manual for details.
This boiler is supplied with safety devices which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start
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.
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe ttings nor attempt
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this
boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the
temperature and pressure of the boiler.
This boiler contains components which become very hot when the boiler is operating. Do not touch any
components unless they are cool.
Boiler materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals,
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause
death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when servicing
or working nearby the appliance.
Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read all instructions,
including all those contained in component manufacturers manuals which are provided with the boiler
before installing, starting up, operating, maintaining or servicing.
Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors or
liquids.
Do not operate boiler with control which has been subject to water.
All cover plates, enclosures and guards must be in place at all times.
This boiler has a limited warranty, a copy of which is printed on the back of this manual. It is the
responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating
properly when the installation is complete.
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

G. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with applicable provisions of local building codes,
or the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation; or CAN/
CSA B149.1, Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided to assure proper combustion.
The following guideline is based on the
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms
communicating directly with space (through
permanent openings not furnished with doors) are
considered part of space.
Volume [ft3] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]
2. Determine Total Input of all appliances in space.
Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total
Input.
a. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft3 per
1,000 BtuH, space is considered an unconned
space.
National Fuel
Page 7
b. If result is less than 50 ft3 per 1,000 Btuh, space
is considered a conned space.
4. Determine building type. A building of unusually tight construction has the following characteristics:
a. 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
b. Weather-stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and
c. 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.
5. For boiler located in an unconned space in a building of other than unusually tight construction,
adequate combustion and ventilation air is normally
provided by fresh air inltration through cracks
around windows and doors.
6. For boiler located in an unconned space in a building of unusually tight construction or in
a conned space, provide outdoor air through
permanent opening(s) which communicate directly
or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or
attic) freely communicating with the outdoors.
Minimum dimension of air opening(s) is 3” (7.6
cm).
a. Two permanent openings: Locate one opening
within 12 inches (30.5 cm) of top of space.
Locate remaining opening within 12 inches
(30.5 cm) of bottom of space. Size each opening
per following:
i.Direct communication with outdoors.
Minimum free area of each opening must be
1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input
of all equipment in space.
ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of each
opening must be 1 square inch 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 each
opening must be 1 square inch per 2,000
Btu per hour input of all equipment in space.
Duct cross-sectional area shall be same as
opening free area.
b. One permanent opening shall be permitted where
the boiler has clearances of at least 1” (2.5 cm)
from the sides and rear and 6” (15.2 cm) from
the front. Locate the opening within 12 inches
(30.5 cm) of top of space. Size opening per
following:
i.Minimum free area of 1 square inch per
3,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in
space.
ii. Free area shall not be less than the sum
of the areas of all vent connectors in the
conned space.
Alternate method for boiler located within conned
space. Use indoor air if two permanent openings
communicate directly with additional space(s) of
sufcient volume such that combined volume of all
spaces meet criteria for unconned space. Size each
opening for minimum free area of 1 square inch per
1,000 Btu per hour input of all equipment in spaces,
but not less than 100 square inches.
7. 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. For Specially Engineered Installations. The above
requirements shall be permitted to be waived
where special engineering, consistent with good
engineering practice and approved by the authority
having jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of
air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of ue
gases.
WARNING
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other
ammable vapors or liquids, or sources of
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, cleaners, chemicals,
sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are
used or stored.
NOTICE
Mis-sizing of the boiler with regard to the heating
system load will result in excessive boiler cycling
and accelerated component failure. Burnham
DOES NOT warrant failures caused by mis-sized
boiler applications. DO NOT oversize the boiler
to the system. Modular/multiple boilers greatly
reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.

WARNING
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.
Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can
lead to boiler failure. Burnham’s Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of
boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.
A.Design and install boiler and system piping to
prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water and
frequent water additions.
1. There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result
of system leaks.
b. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
2. In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources
must be eliminated. This can be accomplished by
taking the following measures:
a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for
addition of make-up water.
b. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
c. Eliminating and/or repairing ttings which allow
oxygen absorption.
d. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
f. Use properly designed and operating air
elimination devices in water piping.
B. Design boiler piping and ow rate to obtain proper
temperature rise though the boiler. (See Table 4)

calibration.
F. Connect system supply and return piping to boiler.
See Figure 23. Also consult I=B=R Installation and
Piping Guides. Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance
from hot water piping to combustible materials.
1. If boiler is used in connection with refrigeration
systems, boiler must be installed with chilled
medium piped in parallel with heating boiler using
appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from
entering boiler. See Figure 22. Also consult I=B=R
Installation and Piping Guides.

Figure 22: Recommended Piping for Combination
Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) System
Page 27
2. If boiler is connected to heating coils located in
air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air, boiler piping must be equipped with
ow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of
boiler water during cooling system operation.
3. The piping diagrams shown (Figure 23, Detail “A”
and Detail “B”) are recommended for optimum
operation and long term reliability.
Burnham Commercial recommends maintaining
temperature differential (drop) across the system
at 40°F or less, and return water temperature at
minimum of 135°F.
Continued boiler operation for prolonged periods of
time under conditions when temperature differential
across the system exceeds 40°F and/or return water
temperature stays below 135°F, may result in
premature boiler failure due to ue gas condensation
and/or thermal shock.
Pump ow rates and minimum boiler supply and
return pipe sizes are shown in Table 4.
Figure 23: Recommended Boiler Piping for Circulator Zoned Heating Systems
Detail “A”: Blend Pump Piping
Detail “B”: Primary/Secondary Piping
with By-Pass
27
Page 28
a. A boiler by-pass is recommended for any
installation for improved system temperature
balance, while serving to protect the boiler from
sustained condensing operation. The by-pass
also provides some measure of low return water
temperature protection by reducing ow through
the boiler. See Figure 23.
b. A blend pump is recommended to divert hot
supply water into the return when system return
temperatures can periodically dip below 135°F
or when delta T’s rise beyond 40°F because of
control schemes that shut off zone pumps for
extended periods. See Figure 23, Detail “A”.
c. Primary/secondary piping with a by-pass is
recommended to provide two points of mixing
when dual temperature systems are used (i.e.
baseboard and radiant heat, outdoor reset
and domestic hot water production, systems
incorporating night setback or multiple zone
pumps on clock schedules). See Figure 23,
Detail “B”.
d. If system three-way valves are used for
temperature modulation, or if the system will
continuously run below 135°F for extended
periods (due to low temperature applications
like snowmelt, heat pump systems or others),
primary/secondary boiler piping with a threeway valve and return temperature sensor is
recommended. Refer to Burnham RTC Return
Temperature Control Manual and Tekmar Essay
#021 “Mixing Methods and Sizing of Variable
Speed Injection Pumps” for more information on
mixing devices and boiler protection from low
return water temperature.
4. A hot water boiler installed above radiation level
must be provided with a low water cutoff device as
part of installation.
5. A start-up strainer is recommended for all
installations (new and replacement alike) to prevent
system debris and sediment from ending up in the
boilers where it will inhibit heat transfer and may
eventually cause a cast iron section to crack from
overheating.
G. Alliance SL™ Water Heater (if used). Refer to
Alliance SL™ Installation, Operating and Service
Instructions for additional information. Install in same
manner as space heating zone.
WARNING
Burnham Commercial recommends maintaining temperature differential (drop) across the system at
40°F or less and return water temperature at minimum of 135°F.
Continued boiler operation for prolonged periods of time under conditions when temperature differential
across the system exceeds 40°F and/or return water temperature stays below 135°F, may result in premature
boiler failure due to ue gas condensation and/or thermal shock.
If the above conditions exist, to protect a boiler from sustained ue gas condensation and/or thermal
shock, the above-recommended temperatures may be maintained by employing common industry-accepted
mixing methods to provide boiler protection.
Some common methods are boiler by-pass piping, blend pumps, primary secondary piping with a bypass, mixing valves and/or variable speed injection pumps.

V. Gas Piping
WARNING
Failure to properly pipe gas supply to boiler may
result in improper operation and damage to the
boiler or structure. Always assure gas piping is
absolutely leak free and of the proper size and
type for the connected load.
An additional gas pressure regulator may be
needed. Consult gas supplier.
A. Size gas Piping. Design system to provide adequate gas
supply to boiler. Consider these factors:
1. Allowable pressure drop from point of delivery to
boiler. Maximum allowable system pressure is ½
psig. Actual point of delivery pressure may be less;
contact gas supplier for additional information.
Minimum allowable gas valve inlet pressure is
indicated on rating label.
2. Maximum gas demand. Table 5 lists boiler input
rate. Also consider existing and expected future gas
utilization equipment (i.e. water heater, cooking
equipment).
3. Length of piping and number of ttings. Refer to
Table 6 for maximum capacity of Schedule 40 pipe.
Table 7 lists equivalent length for standard ttings.

WARNING
Failure to use proper thread compounds on all
gas connectors may result in leaks of ammable
gas.
WARNING
Gas supply to boiler and system must be
absolutely shut off prior to installing or servicing
boiler gas piping.
B. Connect boiler gas valve to gas supply system.
1. Use methods and materials in accordance with local
plumbing codes and requirements of gas supplier. In
absence of such requirements, follow the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or
CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Codes.
2. Use thread (joint) compound (pipe dope) resistant to
action of liqueed petroleum gas.
3. Install sediment trap, ground-joint union and manual
shut-off valve upstream of boiler gas valve and
outside jacket. See Figure 24.
4. All above ground gas piping upstream from
manual gas valve must be electrically continuous
and bonded to a grounding electrode. Do not use
gas piping as a grounding electrode. Refer to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or
CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
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 model number’s tenth digit on the rating label.

WARNING
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 connected to it.
G. If an Existing Boiler is Removed:
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:
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other
deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. 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
speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the Lighting (or Operating) Instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. 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.
6. 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
condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1. 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 appropriate tables in
Part 7 and Part 11 in the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

VII. Electrical
DANGER
Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of
electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock
once power is turned off.
WARNING
Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.
Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any
electrical work.
Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized fused disconnect.
Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.
The wiring diagrams contained in this manual are for reference purposes only. Each boiler is shipped with
a wiring diagram attached to the front door. Refer to this diagram and the wiring diagram of any controls
used with the boiler. Read, understand and follow all wiring instructions supplied with the controls.
A. Install Boiler Wiring
1. Knockdown boilers only. Locate wiring harnesses
in Combination Boiler Parts and Control Carton.
Refer to Table 10 and connect wiring as shown on
the appropriate wiring diagram.
2. Connect supply wiring and electrically ground boiler
in accordance with requirements of authority having
jurisdiction, or in absence of such requirements the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or
CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
B. Wire Vent Damper (if used; required on 805H,
optional on 806H - 810H). See Figure 26.
1. Attach Vent Damper Harness to mounting hole in
Jacket Left Side Panel. Install Cable Clamp around
exible conduit and attach to Jacket Top Panel.

E. Alliance SL™ Water Heater (if used). May be used
with Intermittent Circulation only.
Refer to Alliance SL™ Installation, Operating
and Service Instructions for wiring, piping and
additional information.
F. Vent Damper Sequence of Operation. See Figure 28
for schematic wiring diagram.
1. The Vent Damper is continuously powered at
Terminal 1.
2. 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.
3. The relay coil closes contacts which energize the
damper motor, causing the damper to open.
4. 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 deenergized.
5. 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).
G. Sequence of Operation and Wiring. Refer to Table
10 for the appropriate control system.
