III. Water Piping and Trim
WARNING
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or building.
Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. U.S. Boiler’s Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water.
A. Design and install boiler and system piping to
prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water.
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.
B. Connect System supply and return piping to boiler. See
Figures 5 and 7. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides. Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.
1. 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 6. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.
2. 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 with ow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during the operation of the cooling system.
3. If boiler is used with an Alliance™ SL Indirect­Fired Domestic Water Heater, install the Alliance™ SL as a separate heating zone. Refer to the Alliance™ SL Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions for additional information.
4. Use a system 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.).
CAUTION
Do not operate boiler with return water temperatures below 120°F.
The bypass should be the same size as the supply
and return lines with valves located in the bypass and return line as illustrated in Figures 5 and 7 in
order to regulate water ow for maintenance of
higher boiler water temperature.
Set the by-pass and return valves to a half throttle
position to start. Operate boiler until the system water temperature reaches its normal operating range.
Adjust the valves to maintain 180°F to 200°F boiler
water temperature and greater than 120°F return temperature. Adjust both valves simultaneously. Closing the boiler return valve while opening the by-pass valve will raise the boiler return temperature. Opening the boiler return valve while closing the by-pass valve will lower the boiler return temperature.
5. 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.
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, plugs or caps.
C. Install Safety Relief Valve. See Figures 5 and 7.
Safety Relief Valve must be installed with spindle in vertical position. Installation of the relief valve must be consistent with the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.
9
Figure 5: Recommended Water Piping for Zone Valve Zoned Heating Systems
D. Install Drain Valve in return piping. See Figure 5.
E. Oil, grease, and other foreign materials which
accumulate in new hot water boilers and a new or reworked system should be boiled out, and then
thoroughly ushed. A qualied water treatment
chemical specialist should be consulted for recommendations regarding appropriate chemical compounds and concentrations which are compatible with local environmental regulations.
F. After the boiler and system have been cleaned and
ushed, and before relling the entire system add
appropriate water treatment chemicals, if necessary, to bring the pH between 7 and 11.
G. Fill entire heating system with water and vent air
from system. Use the following procedure on a Series
Loop System equipped with zone valves. (See Figure
5).
1. Close isolation valve in boiler supply piping.
2. Isolate all circuits by closing zone valves or balancing valves.
3. Attach a hose to hose bib located just below isolation valve in boiler supply piping. (Note
- Terminate hose in ve gallon bucket at a suitable oor drain or outdoor area).
4. Starting with one circuit, open zone valve.
5. Open hose bib.
6. Open ll valve (Make-up water line should be
located directly above isolation valve in boiler supply piping).
7. Allow water to overow from bucket until discharge
from hose is bubble free for 30 seconds.
8. Open zone valve to the second zone to be purged,
then close the rst. Repeat this step until all zones
have been purged, but always have one zone open. At completion, open all zone valves.
9. Close hose bib, continue lling the system until the pressure gauge reads 12 psi. Close ll valve. (Note - If make-up water line is equipped with
pressure reducing valve, system will automatically
ll to 12 psi.
10. Open isolation valve in boiler supply piping.
11. Remove hose from hose bib.

IV. Venting / Air Intake Piping
A. General Guidelines
1. Vent system installation must be in accordance with these instructions and applicable provisions of
local building codes. Contact local building or re ofcials about restrictions and installation inspection
in your area.
2. The LE®DV Series is designed as a Direct Vent
boiler. In this conguration, all air for combustion
is supplied directly to the burner from outdoors and
ue gases are vented directly outdoors (through
wall). See Figures 10 and 11. The LEDV may be side-wall vented with combustion air supplied
from indoors. This conguration may be used in installations where inltration provides adequate air
for combustion and ventilation. Flue gases are still vented directly outdoors (through wall).
3. For minimum clearances to combustible materials refer to Figure 2.
4. Maximum wall thickness that vent terminal may be installed through is 10 inches.
WARNING
DO NOT locate vent terminal where exposed to prevailing wind. Moisture and ice may form on surfaces around vent termination. To prevent deterioration, surfaces should be in good repair (sealed, painted, etc.).
5. Locate the vent terminal so vent pipe is short and direct, and at a place on the exterior wall that
complies with the minimum distances as specied in
Figure 8 and listed below. The vent terminal must be located:
a. Not less than 12 inches above grade plus snow
accumulation (as measured to the nearest edge of terminal).
b. Not less than 3 feet to center of terminal above
any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
c. Not less than 1 foot to center of terminal
horizontally from any door, window or gravity air inlet.
d. Not less than 7 feet to center of terminal above a
public walkway.
e. Not less than 3 feet to center of terminal from an
inside corner of an L-shaped structure.
f. Not less than 1 foot from nearest surface of
terminal to a roof soft.
g. Not directly above, or not less than 6 feet

V. Electrical and Sequence of Operations
A. ELECTRICAL
1. Install wiring and 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 the CSA C22.1 Electric Code.
2. 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.
3. Wiring should conform to Figures 15 and 15A.
4. Thermostat heat anticipator setting = 0.3 amp.
B. SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
1. General the L7248C limit control which in turn energizes the R7184P primary control to turn on the burner. The circulator will operate as long as there is a call for
heat. If the call for heat is not satised and the high
limit setting is reached, the circulator will continue to operate, and the burner will stop until the high limit circuit is closed by a drop in boiler water temperature.
. A call for heat by the thermostat energizes
c. If the burner ignites within 15 seconds from the
time the oil valve opens and the CAD cell senses
a ame, the electronic ignitor is de-energized
and the burner will operate until the call for
heat is satised or the setting of the high limit is
reached.
d. A manual reset button is provided to reset the
safety switch after lockout.
e. When the call for heat ends, or the CAD cell
fails to sense a ame, the oil valve will close.
The combustion blower will continue to operate for a postpurge period of approximately two (2) minutes.
4. CAD Cell. The Beckett AFII burners used on the LEDV Series
are supplied with a C554A Cadmium Sulde (cad cell) Flame Detector to monitor the burner ame and shut down the burner on ignition failure or on ame
failure during the run cycle. On either failure, the manual reset button on the R7184P will be tripped.
2. L7248C Combination Limit control.
The switching action within the L7248C control has
one setting, the high limit. The switching relay is controlled by the low voltage room thermostat. On a call for heat, the relay contacts close to complete the line voltage circulator circuit and also the burner circuit if the boiler water temperature is below the high limit setting. The high limit switch shuts off the burner if boiler water temperature exceeds the high limit setting. See Figure 14.

VI. Oil Piping
A. General
1. Use exible oil line(s) so that Swing Door can be
opened without disconnecting oil supply.
2. A supply line fuel oil lter is recommended as a minimum for all ring rates but a pleated paper fuel oil lter is recommended for the lowest (.6 GPH) ring rate application to prevent nozzle fouling.
3. Use Flared ttings only. Do not use compression ttings.
4. Use of a high efciency micron oil lter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to conventional lter is
highly recommended.
B. Single-pipe Oil Lines.
1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed for single-pipe installations.
2. The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single­pipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable lift is 8 feet. See Figure 16.
NOTICE
Single-pipe installations must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. Bleed line and fuel unit completely.

VII. System Start-up
WARNING
All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage,
personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to
prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener
completely when service is completed.
A. ALWAYS INSPECT INSTALLATION BEFORE
STARTING BURNER.
B. FILL HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER. Refer to
Section III, G.
C. CHECK CONTROLS, WIRING AND BURNER to be
sure that all connections are tight and burner is rigid, that all electrical connections have been completed and
fuses installed, and that oil tank is lled and oil lines
have been tested.
D. LUBRICATION — Follow instruction on burner and
circulator label to lubricate, if oil lubricated. Most motors currently used on residential type burners employ permanently lubricated bearings and thus do
not require any eld lubrication. Water lubricated circulators do not need eld lubrication.
Do not over-lubricate. This can cause as much trouble
as no lubrication at all.
E. ADJUST CONTROL SETTINGS with burner
service switch turned “ON” and room thermostat set 10° below room temperature.
1.
Adjustment and display modes of the L7248/
L7224 Oil Electronic Aquastat Controller.
a. On the L7248/L7224, the overall range of the
High Limit is from 180°F to 240°F (82°C to 116°C).
b. Set the High Limit (designated HL) on the
L7248/L7224 Aquastat Control at 180°F. This
temperature setting may be varied to suit
requirements of installation. Differential is xed
at 15°F.
i. Adjusting Settings:
To discourage unauthorized changing of
Aquastat settings, a procedure to enter the adjustment mode is required. To enter the
adjustment mode, press the UP, DOWN, and I buttons (see Figure 18) simultaneously for three (3) seconds. Press the ‘I’ button

2. Control Operating Characteristics
The L7248/L7224 can be in any three (3)
operational states: Normal, High-Limit and Error. The controller moves back and forth from High­Limit to Normal state as part of normal operation.
The controller will enter the Error state when there
is an abnormal condition. The operating states are:
a. Normal: Boiler temperature has gone below the
high limit setting (minus the differential) and has not exceeded the high limit setting.
b. High-Limit: Boiler temperature has gone above
the high limit setting and has not dropped below the high limit setting (minus the differential).
c. Error: The controller has detected an error
condition (e.g., open sensor) and has shut down the burner output. The controller continues to monitor the system and automatically restarts if the error condition clears. See Table 4.
Table 4: LED Error Codes

9. CHECK / ADJUST OIL PRESSURE
a. Check oil pressure to correspond to a specied
value for a particular LEDV boiler model. Refer to Table 6.

b. For adjustment, locate oil pressure adjusting
screw and turn screw to obtain oil pressure
specied.
10. ADJUST AIR SETTING on burner for alight orange
colored ame. Flame should be solid and compact.
Use smoke tester and adjust air for a minimum smoke (not to exceed #1) with a minimum excess
air. Make nal check using suitable instrumentation
to obtain CO2 of 11.5% to 12%. These settings
will assure a safe and efcient operating condition. If ame appears stringy instead of solid re, try
another nozzle of the same type.
11. TURN "OFF" BURNER BY OPENING SERVICE SWITCH. Remove pressure gauge. Install gauge port plug and tighten. Re-start burner.
12. HINTS ON COMBUSTION
a. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively
inexpensive device, its function is critical to the successful operation of the oil burner. The selection of the nozzle supplied with the LEDV boiler is the result of extensive testing to obtain
the best ame shape and efcient combustion.
Other brands of the same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be protected from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass-produced and can vary from sample to sample. For all of those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item for a serviceman to have.
b. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the
combustion chamber through the ame plug hole, the ame should appear straight with
no sparklers rolling up toward the top of the
chamber. If the ame drags to the right or left,
sends sparklers upward or makes wet spots on the rear door insulation piece, the nozzle should be replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks, air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described below.
c. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the
pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air tube, under the transformer, and around the air inlet. Any such leaks should be repaired as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in
the extreme case may become a re hazard.
d. AIR LEAKS — Any such leaks should be
repaired, as they may cause erratic burning of
the fuel and in extreme cases may become a re
hazard.
There are many possible causes of air leaks in oil lines such as:
i. Fitting leaks due to mis-ared tubing or
damaged tting.
26
ii. Fuel line leak due to crushed or bent tubing.
iii. Filter connection leaks.
iv. Tank connection leaks.
There are various test kits available to trace
air leaks, such as electronic sight glasses. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to
nd air leaks.
The following actions can eliminate air leaks:
i. Bleed pump as detailed in System Start-Up
Section of this manual.
ii. Replace are ttings.
iii. Replace oil supply line.
iv. Repair oil lter leaks.
v. Replace or repair tank ttings.
e. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO2 with
a #1 smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching,
look for air leaks around the ue collar. Such
air leaks will cause a lower CO2 reading in the
breeching. The smaller the ring rate the greater
effect an air leak can have on CO2 readings.
f. DIRT — A fuel lter is a good investment.
Accidental accumulation of dirt in the fuel system can clog the nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a poor spray pattern from the nozzle.
The smaller the ring rate, the smaller the slots
become in the nozzle and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the same amount of dirt.
g. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts
will stall the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller amounts will cause excessive wear on the pump, but more importantly water doesn’t
burn. It chills the ame and causes smoke and
unburned fuel to pass out of the combustion
chamber and clog the ueways of the boiler.
h. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching
the fuel pump is 40°F or lower poor combustion or delayed ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets
get larger and the ame shape gets longer. An
outside fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines in a shallow bury is a good candidate for cold oil. The best solution is to bury the tank and lines deep enough to keep the oil above 40°F.
i. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS — Air
settings must be increased at higher altitudes. Use instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2.
j. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the
cause of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for
electrode settings, ame shape, air or water in
the fuel lines.
k. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the ame runs out
of air before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with noise may occur. That may be the result
of a faulty cut-off valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped in the nozzle line. It may take
several ring cycles for that air to be fully vented
through the nozzle. Water in the fuel or poor
ame shape can also cause shut down noises.
NOTICE
CHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good test for isolating fuel side problems is to disconnect the
fuel system and with a 2 foot length of tubing, re out of an auxiliary ve gallon pail of clean, fresh,
warm #2 oil from another source. If the burner runs successfully when drawing out of the auxiliary pail then the problem is isolated to the fuel or fuel lines being used on the jobsite.
G. TEST CONTROLS
WARNING
Before installation of the boiler is considered complete, the operation of all boiler controls must be checked, particularly the primary control and high limit control.
1. CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION. Raise and
lower thermostat setting as required to start and stop
burner.
2. VERIFY PRIMARY CONTROL SAFETY FEATURES using procedures outlined in Instructions furnished with control (See back of Control Cover) or Instructions as follows:

4. CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF (if so equipped).
a. Adjust thermostat to highest setting.
b. With boiler operating, open drain valve and
slowly drain boiler.
c. Burner should stop when water level drops
below low water cutoff probe. Verify limit, thermostat or other controls have not shut off boiler.
d. Adjust thermostat to lowest setting. Rell boiler.
H. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
IMPORTANT
IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD WATER MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ONCE A MONTH, CONSULT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.
A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler which can signicantly
shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make-up water are dissolved minerals and oxygen. When the fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler the minerals fall out as sediment and the oxygen escapes as a gas. Both can result in reduced boiler life. The accumulation of sediment can eventually isolate the water from contacting the steel. When this happens the steel in that area gets extremely hot and eventually cracks. The presence of free oxygen in the boiler creates a corrosive atmosphere which, if the concentration becomes high enough, can corrode the
27
steel through from the inside. Since neither of these failure types are the result of a manufacturing defect the warranty does not apply. Clearly it is in everyone’s best interest to prevent this type of failure. The maintenance of system integrity is the best method to achieve this.
28

X. Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) on Hot Water Boilers
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO). Only use
connections specically identied 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.
draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the probe.
How to Wire
LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC
congurations. The 120 VAC conguration 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
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.
