DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury or property damage.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.

NOTICE

Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important but not related to personal injury hazards.

NOTICE

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. The warranty for this boiler is valid only if the boiler has been installed, maintained and operated in accordance with these instructions.

DANGER

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance for reference by owner and service technician.

This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained in this manual.

Installation,maintenance,andservicemustbeperformedonlybyanexperienced,skilledandknowledgeable installer or service agency.

All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler.

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is completed.

Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the specified tapping on the supply manifold located on top and at rear of appliance - See Section III, Paragraph R, Item 3 of this manual for details.

All boiler builds, except boilers bearing the ULLabel, are suitable for installation on combustible flooring. Do not install boiler on carpeting. Do not operate on floors where heat affected material is below.

Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or controls. Retain your contractor or a competent serviceman to assure that the unit is properly adjusted and maintained.

Clean boiler at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season to remove soot and scale. The inside of the combustion chamber should also be cleaned and inspected at the same time.

Have Burner and Controls checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated. Do not operate unit with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices. Do not operate unit if any control, switch, component, or device has been subject to water.

This boiler is designed to operate with lower return water temperatures and avoid thermal shock and accumulation of condensate if operated per the following criteria:

Minimum Return Water Temperature = 80°F

Maximum Delta T Between Boiler Supply and Return = 80°F

Minimum Supply Water Temperature = 130°F

Continued operation beyond these limitations will result in sustained condensing within the combustion chamber and potentially reduce boiler longevity and may result in premature boiler failure through thermal shock.

WARNING

Appliance 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 defectsandotherreproductiveharm. Alwaysusepropersafetyclothing,respiratorsandequipmentwhen servicing or working nearby the appliance.

This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings 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.

This appliance must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition. Do not operate boiler with the absence of an approved vent system.

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 and air intake systems must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efficiency.

This boiler is supplied with controls 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 is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to any solid fuel (i.e. wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All flammable debris, rags, paper, wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of fire hazards.

Always keep the oil supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.

Probe and float type low water cutoff devices require annual inspection and maintenance. Refer to instructions in Section VI, Paragraph C for inspection and cleaning instructions.

NOTICE

Model MPC 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 MPC 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. This value for the MPC is as follows:

MAWP, Water (USA and Canada) - 80 PSI

It is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below the boiler MAWP. Therefore, Burnham offers safety relief valves set at or below the MAWP of the boiler. See Page 12 for available safety relief valve set pressures.

NOTE 2: MPC Series boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed above. Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or closet installations.

3.PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOUNDATION for the unit. Refer to Figure 2.

WARNING

All boiler builds, except boilers bearing the UL Label, are suitable for installation on combustible floor. Do not install boiler on carpeting.

Floor construction should have adequate load bearing characteristics to bear the weight of the boiler filled with water (see

Table 1). A boiler foundation similar to the one shown in Figure 2 is recommended if the boiler room floor is weak or uneven or if a water condition exists.

4.PROVIDE AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION to accommodate proper combustion.

WARNING

Failure to supply adequate air to the boiler will result in unsafe boiler operation.

For commercial and industrial equipment, permanent facilities for supplying an ample amount of outside air shall be provided in accordance with the following.

For boiler rooms adjacent to outside walls, and where combustion air is provided by natural ventilation from the outside, there shall be a permanent air supply inlet having a total free area of not less than 1 sq. in. per 4,000 Btu per hr. (35 sq. in. per gal. per hr.) (5.5 cm2 per kw.) of total input rating of the burner or burners and in no case less than 35 sq. in. (0.425 m2).

For boiler rooms not adjacent to outside walls, the combustion air shall be supplied in a manner acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.

Figure 2: Boiler Foundation

14

a.In the absence of local requirements, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one in or near the top of the room and one near the bottom. The openings shall communicate by means of ducts, with the outdoors or to such spaces (crawl or attic) that communicate with the outdoors.

i.Where communicating by means of vertical ducts, each opening shall have a free area of not less than 1 sq. in. per 4,000 Btuh (35 sq. in. per gph.) (5.5 cm2 per kw) of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosure.

ii.If horizontal ducts are used, each opening shall have a free area of not less than 1 sq. in. per 2,000 Btuh (70 sq. in. per gph.) (11 cm2 per kw) of total input of all appliances in the enclosure.

5.CHIMNEY OR VENT (Be sure to read below WARNINGS.)

The Model MPC™ Series boiler is designed for forced draft firing and may be used with a conventional natural draft stack (15’ minimum height) or a stub vent, sometimes called a diesel stack (see Figure 3a). See Table I for the proper vent outlet size. For low silhouette vent

terminations, see Figure 3b. Draft controls are not normally required, although they may be used on installations where a natural draft stack is used or on multiple boiler installations with a common stack. For proper operation, boiler must maintain positive pressure of 0.1” W.C. at the breech in the cast iron flue collector during burner high fire operation (see breeching pressure sensing port in Figure 1b). To obtain the above, a factory supplied MPC Flue Outlet Damper Assembly (see Page 56 for details) must be attached directly to the Rear Flue Collector Outlet.

If the venting system is designed for positive or forced draft venting, the boiler, vent connector and stack will operate under positive pressure. Gas tight vent systems designed for pressure systems must

Figure 3a: MPC with Rear Outlet Vent

be used to prevent flue by-product leakage. The vent height is usually limited to prevent negative draft, typically three (3) feet above the roof line (see Figure 3a). The damper shall be adjusted to maintain a positive pressure of 0.1” W.C. at the flue outlet during burner high fire operation.

If the venting system is designed for negative pressure (natural draft), the boiler still operates with positive pressure in the chamber and up to the fixed damper on the flue collar. However, if the venting system is larger than what is required, the stack will provide a surplus draft (or negative pressure) that may require the use of a barometric damper to maintain the positive 0.1” W.C. pressure

at the flue outlet. Multiple forced draft boiler stacks should always be designed as negative to ensure the products of combustion do not exit a boiler that is not firing.

NOTICE

When an MPC gas fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate under a negative pressure, the use of Type B, or other manufactured vent systems designed for negative pressure is acceptable.

When an MPC oil fired or combination gas/oil fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate under a negative pressure, the use of Type L or other manufactured vent systems designed for negative pressure is acceptable.

Unlined masonry chimneys are not acceptable. Lined masonry chimneys are acceptable with the appropriate vent connectors using materials described above.

MPC oil or combination gas/oil boilers should be vented using Type L vent, regardless if the vent pressure is positive or negative.

15

WARNING

Single wall Type C vent material is not approved for MPC boiler venting. When an MPC gas fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate under a negative pressure, manufactured vent systems, designed and approved for positive pressure application per UL1738, must be used (for example, Van-Packer Model CS, Protech Model FasNSeal / FasNSeal W2, Heatfab

Saf-T-Vent or equivalent).

When an MPC oil fired or combination gas/oil fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate under a positive pressure, manufactured vent systems, designed and approved for positive pressure application, must be used (for example, Selkirk Metalbestos Model PS/

IPS, Van-Packer Model ES or equivalent).

Typical Vents that are used on Forced Draft Boilers, on Low Silhouette Buildings

VENT SIZING - Area must be the same as or greater than the boiler breeching (Smoke Outlet). A barometric damper may be required on installations with a high draft condition.

FAULTY BOILER BURNER OPERATION

1.If improper vent is suspected, remove pipe at breeching and operate boiler. This will determine if excessive down draft, blocked or restricted flue, etc. is causing the problem.

2.If using type shown in A above, be sure cap is raised sufficiently above main pipe to allow flue gases to vent unimpeded.

3.A popular type cap is shown in B.

4.The tee is frequently used as shown in C.

5.D and E should not be used due to possible fluctuations in back pressure.

Figure 3b: Vents - Faults and Suggestions

WARNING

Venting Instructions are recommendations only. Consult a venting expert on the design of a specific vent system for your application. The ASHRAE Venting Guide and The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 should be considered in all venting systems.

Conventional vent material may not be suitable for the application. Flue gases can leak carbon monoxide from the joints on these materials and can result in severe personal injury or death.

Installations having long horizontal runs or an excessive amount of tees or elbows will restrict the flow of combustion gases and can result in condensation, flue gas leakage of carbon monoxide, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

Then proceed to Step C of this section on Page 24,

“HYDROSTATIC TEST”.

B.FIELD ASSEMBLED SECTIONS - If the boiler was ordered knockdown, to be field assembled, follow the assembly procedure outlined on the following pages.

1.ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (MANUAL DRAW-

UP)

These sections are designed to be drawn together one section at a time using the Manual Draw-up Kit (Burnham P/N 102008-01 or P/N 102008-02) using ordinary hand tools.

Tools required:

(1) ¾” Drive Ratchet

(1) 1¼” Socket

(1) 1¼” Combination or Open End Wrench

(1) Can Thread Cutting Oil or Grease

WHEN ASSEMBLING SECTIONS WITHOUT HYDRAULIC DRAW-UP EQUIPMENT, IT

IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONE SECTION BE ASSEMBLED AT A TIME. NEVER ASSEMBLE MORE THAN TWO SECTIONS AT A TIME.

Assembly Procedure (refer to Figure 5 for Exploded View of Block Assembly and Draw-up Hardware):

Step a. Place the rear section in its approximate final position, as outlined in Section I. Stand rear section up and brace in vertical position with a suitable prop. See Figure 6.

Step b. Clean the rope groove around perimeter of the rear section with a wire brush.

Step c. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s), marked ‘BAC’ and remove contents. Separate the items by type. There are two (2) different pre-cut lengths of the red silicone coated fiberglass rope. The combustion chamber rope is

86” long and the perimeter rope is 164” long.

Step d. Using the multi-purpose spray adhesive provided, apply the adhesive to the perimeter rope groove. Follow the directions on the can for application and tack time. GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE ADHESIVE DOES NOT COME

IN CONTACT WITH THE MACHINED NIPPLE PORTS.

Step e. While the adhesive is becoming tacky, clean the nipples ports and nipples thoroughly with a de-greasing solvent.

Step f. Locate a 164” length of silicone coated fiberglass rope and 10.3 oz. cartridge of RTV

6500 or RTV 736 Red Silicone Sealant. Starting at 3 o’clock position, push rope into groove and continue around perimeter until rope overlaps the starting point. Rope should be approximately

4” longer than required. Use a permanent black marker to mark the rope approximately 1/8” beyond point of overlap. Cut off excess with scissors or utility knife and wooden cutting block. Apply a generous bead of red sealant to both ends of cut rope, push ends together and smooth excess sealant over joint with your finger.

WARNING

Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints will result in combustion gas leaks through the joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before each section is placed on the assembly.

Step g. Use the Loctite #592 lubricant supplied to lubricate the nipples and nipple ports. Apply the lubricant to the nipples and nipple ports, then use a brush to disperse it evenly around the nipples and nipple ports. Use approximately 20 ml of lubricant per flueway [(1) 7” and (1) 3” nipple and their corresponding nipple ports - (2) in the rear section and (2) in the next adjoining section].

Step h. Drive nipples squarely into section using block of wood and hammer, or preferably, an aluminum head hammer. Burnham offers a polyethylene block for setting the nipples (part no. 8052601). Place block over entire nipple edge and hit the wood or polyethylene block with the hammer.

NOTICE

Nipples must be driven in evenly and to the proper depth to assure tight joints. Most nipple leaks are caused by tilted or cocked nipples.

DO NOT use steel/iron head hammer to drive nipples without using a wood or polyethylene block. Nipple damage may result.

Step i. A special nipple setting gauge is provided for the nipples. Gauge nipple at 90° angles to insure that it is driven to the proper depth into the nipple opening (nipple port). Cut-out in gauge must rest on nipple, with the legs of the gauge touching finished face of section, when nipple is properly driven. See Figure 7.

Step j. Apply a generous bead of RTV 6500 or RTV

736 sealant to the (4) flueway sealing grooves on rear section. Sealant should start against the rope gasket, run across the groove in one continuous bead, and end against rope gasket at the opposite side. Refer to Figure 5.

Figure 7: Setting of Nipples

Figure 8: Inspection Pad Locations for

Section Draw-up

20

WARNING

This is a forced draft fired boiler and sealant must be applied where specified for proper and safe performance. Burnham Commercial has approved section joint sealants (silastics) manufactured by Dow-Corning under the product number RTV 736, and Sil-Bond under the product number RTV 6500.

WARNING

Sections must be drawn-up tight immediately after properly applying sealant for best results. Although sections may be joined within two

(2) hours of applying sealant, humidity and temperature affect cure time. If a “thick skin” has been formed on the sealant bead, remove and reapply sealant.

Step k. Position the next adjoining section to be assembled, so that the side with the sealing tongue around the combustion chamber and perimeter is facing the mating side of the rear section. Sections must always be assembled

so that the rope groove on one section mates to the sealing tongue on the next section in the assembly.

Step l. Clean and lubricate the nipple ports on the mating (tongue) side of the adjoining section. Place the nipple ports of the adjoining section onto the nipples previously installed in the rear section. To facilitate assembly, it is advisable to enter the upper nipple first in its port. Then enter the lower nipple in it’s respective port. If necessary, place a lifting bar (crowbar) under the center of the section and lift the nipple port onto the upper nipple. Drive section in place with a heavy block of wood, striking blows as squarely as possible over nipple ports.

Step m. From Manual Draw-up Kit, locate and assemble two (2) sets that include a ¾” x 23” lg. threaded rod, 6½” dia. pressure plate, ¾” flat washer and ¾” hex nut as shown in Figure

5. Insert one assembly through each of the 3” and 4” NPT bosses on rear section until pressure plate is tight against the boss. Locate and place the 8¾” dia. pressure plate on the opposite end of threaded rod in upper nipple port. Place remaining 6½” dia. pressure plate on rod protruding through lower nipple port. Install a ¾” washer, ¾” coupling spacer, ¾” washer and ¾” hex nut on each rod. Center upper pressure plates on nipple port and boss while tightening nut until tension holds assembly in place. Repeat for lower assembly. Refer to Figure 5 to verify proper arrangement.

Step n. DRAW UP SECTION SLOWLY AND EVENLY. When you start, machined surfaces between adjoining sections should be approximately 3/8” to 1/2” apart. The 7” nipple will pull harder than the 3” nipple. If two (2) people are pulling simultaneously, stop periodically to verify that gaps between adjoining sections are equal at both nipple ports. If not, pull the nipple with the larger gap until equal before proceeding. Continue draw-up, paying close attention to the nipple

lubricant as it squeezes when the sections come in close contact. The lubricant should continue to squeeze out until the sections are connected metal to metal at the designated inspection pads shown in Figure 8. If the sections still do not appear to be drawn metal to metal, use the feeler gauge provided to measure any gaps at the locations identified in Figure 8.

(Unless specified otherwise, gaps should be only measured at these locations). A maximum gap of .025”.

KEEP NIPPLES ALIGNED WITH NIPPLE PORTS. If necessary, tap edge of nipples lightly with a blunt tool or rod to keep nipples from cocking while sections are being drawn-up.

DO NOT DRAW UP SECTION WHEN NIPPLES ARE COCKED. If the torque required becomes excessive, periodically place a heavy block of wood over each nipple port and strike as squarely as possible with several blows to relieve tension on the draw-up rods.

Step o. Remove Draw-up Rod Assemblies and set aside.

Step p. Prepare center section on block assembly to receive next casting, see Figure 5. Clean the rope grooves around the combustion chamber and perimeter of the section with a wire brush. Repeat Step ‘d’ through step ‘p’ with the following exceptions:

During Step ‘d’ procedure, apply multipurpose spray adhesive to combustion chamber rope groove as well as perimeter groove.

During Step ‘e’ procedure, locate 86” length of red silicone coated fiberglass rope.

Starting at 9 o’clock position, push rope into groove and continue around combustion chamber until rope overlaps starting point. Mark joint, cut-off excess and seal joint per instructions.

During Step ‘j’ procedure, apply sealant to the (6) flueway sealing grooves on the center section.

BE SURE TO APPLY THE SILICONE COATED FIBERGLASS ROPE AND SEALANT to the grooved joints between

21

adjacent sections as the boiler operates with a positive pressure in the firebox and products of combustion will escape between sections unless they are properly sealed. The rope and sealant should be applied before each section is placed on the assembly.

NOTICE

As assembled length increases, use 3/4” coupling nuts and additional rods, provided in Kit, to extend draw-up rod length.

Step q. CONTINUE ASSEMBLING SECTIONS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ORDER until the block assembly is complete. Be certain that all sections are drawn up iron-to-iron at both nipple ports.

Do not remove the draw-up tool, leave it under tension until the retention rods are in place.

Step r. Locate the threaded 5/8” retention rods, washers, tension springs and nuts supplied in Boiler Assembly Carton marked ‘BAC’.

Assemble both top retention rod assemblies as shown in Figure 5, Detail B, using the proper arrangement per Table VI. The tension spring should always be located at the rear of the boiler. These rod assemblies can be lowered directly into slotted lugs on each side of the upper nipple port. Hand tighten the rear nuts only, do not torque nut at this time.

All casting legs have two (2) holes. Slide the lower retention rods through the upper hole in each leg. Start at the front or rear, which ever is easiest, per the arrangement shown in Table VI.

With the rods in place, install a 5/8” flat washer and 5/8” hex nut on each rod protruding through the front legs. On 8 through 18 section block assemblies, additional rods and couplings nuts are required to span the distance. On these larger sizes, thread couplings on front rods to mid point of coupling (halfway), pull next rod forward to meet front coupling. Hold front coupling, not front rod, while threading rear rod into coupling nut until it contacts front rod at mid point.

Repeat this process until both lower rods protrude through rear section legs. In the following order, place a 5/8” flat washer, 5/8” tension spring and 5/8” hex nut on both rods. Hand tighten rear nut only to remove all slack from the lower rod assemblies. Use a torque wrench adjusted for 20 ft/lb of torque to tighten four (4) rear hex nuts. In lieu of a torque wrench, use a combination wrench to tighten nuts approximately ¾ turn beyond hand tight, to set tension.

Excess length of draw-up rods must not extend beyond front and rear section to ensure proper fit of jacket, adjust accordingly.

Step s. Release tension on Manual Draw-up Assemblies and remove.

Now proceed to Step C of this Section on Page 24, Hydrostatic Test.

2.ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (HYDRAULIC

DRAW-UP)

• MPC4 through MPC12 Section Assemblies

The entire assemblage may be drawn-up at one time using the hydraulic draw-up equipment providing the operation is completed within two (2) hours after the sealant was applied to the first casting in the assembly. If time limit is reached, draw-up partial section assembly before continuing.

• MPC13 through MPC18 Section Assemblies

The total assemblage should be first drawn-up into two (2) sub-assemblies. Each sub-assembly may be drawn-up at one time using the hydraulic draw-up equipment providing the operation is completed within two (2) hours after the sealant was applied to the first casting in the sub-assembly. No more than

12 sections should be drawn up at one time.

“Hydraulic Draw-Up Tool Kit” is available through

Burnham by ordering part number 101904-01.

Step a. Repeat Step ‘a’ through Step ‘l’ under

“Field Assembled Sections (Manual Draw-Up)”.

Step b. Continue driving sections in place (in their respective order) until all sections are in the assemblage. Ground surfaces between adjoining sections should be spaced 3/8” to 1/2” apart. Spacing of more than 1/2” will limit number of sections that can be drawn up in one unit and could indicate cocked nipples.

WARNING

Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints will result in combustion gas leaks through the joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before each section is placed on the assembly.

On long boiler assemblies, it may be necessary to draw up a partial block if the entire boiler is not ready to be drawn up tight within two (2) hours of the first application of the Silastic. If the block assembly time extends overnight, the partial block completed must be drawn up tight before leaving the boiler overnight. If a joint springs apart, it

must be re-drawn tight within two (2) hours of first application of Silastic to the joint.

Step c. From the Hydraulic Draw-up Kit, locate and assemble one (1) set of draw-up assemblies that each include ¾” x 23” lg. threaded rod(s), ¾” coupling nut(s) (if applicable), the appropriate pressure plate, washer and ¾” hex nut as shown in Figure 5. Insert one (1) assembly through each of the 3” and 4” NPT bosses on rear section until pressure plate is tight against the boss. Locate and place the 8¾” dia. pressure plate on

the opposite end of threaded rod in upper nipple port. Place remaining 6½” dia. pressure plate on rod protruding through lower nipple port.

NOTICE

As assembled length increases, use 3/4” coupling nuts and additional rods, provided in Kit, to extend draw-up rod length.

Slide ¾” washer, hydraulic ram and second ¾” washer over each rod assembly. Remove all slack from assemblies and apply draw-up rod clamps.

Center upper pressure plates on nipple port and boss while pumping ram set until tension holds assembly in place. Repeat for lower assembly. Refer to Figure 5 to verify proper arrangement.

CAUTION

Rods should be approximately centered in openings so that rods and couplings (when used) do not drag on pipe thread in end section tappings.

WARNING

READ THE STATEMENTS BELOW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT.

Release pressure in ram pumps before attempting to remove clamps.

Do not stand in line with draw-up rods at either end when hydraulic pressure is being applied. As a safety measure, ends of drawup rods should be covered while sections are being drawn in case rods should snap while under tension.

Do not operate ram against draw-up coupling.

Do not operate pump after ram has reached stroke limit.

Step d. Draw-up Sections

Use hydraulic rams to draw up sections by applying pressure alternately on the draw-up rods. When rams reach stroke limit, release pressure in ram pumps and then move clamps to new position.

Step e. Continue to draw-up until all sections make contact at the ground joints.

If the sections still do not appear to be drawn metal to metal, use feeler gauge provided to measure any gaps at the locations identified in Figure 8. (Unless specified otherwise, gaps should be measured at these locations). A maximum gap of .025” is acceptable.

23

Step f. After all sections have been drawn up, retention rods must be installed. Do not release hydraulic pressure until the retention rods are in place.

Step g. Locate the threaded 5/8” retention rods, washers, tension springs and nuts supplied in ‘BAC’ Boiler Assembly Carton. Assemble both top retention rod assemblies as shown in Figure 5, Detail B, using the proper arrangement per Table VI. The tension spring should always

be located at the rear of the boiler. These rod assemblies can be lowered directly into slotted lugs on each side of the upper nipple port. Hand tighten the rear nuts only, do not torque nut at this time.

All casting legs have two (2) holes. Slide the lower retention rods through the upper hole in each leg. Start the front or rear, which ever is easiest, per the arrangement shown in Table VI.

With the rods in place, install a 5/8” flat washer and 5/8” hex nut on each rod protruding through the front legs. On 8 through 18 section block assemblies, additional rods and couplings nuts are required to span the distance. On these larger sizes, thread couplings on front rods to mid point of coupling (halfway), pull next rod forward to meet front coupling. Hold front coupling, not front rod, while threading rear rod into coupling nut until it contacts front rod at mid point.

Repeat this process until both lower rods protrude through rear section legs. In the following order, place a 5/8” flat washer, 5/8” tension spring and 5/8” hex nut on both rods. Hand tighten rear nut only to remove all slack from the lower rod assemblies. Use a torque wrench adjusted for 20 ft/lb of torque to tighten four (4) rear hex nuts. In lieu of a torque wrench, use a combination wrench to tighten nuts approximately ¾ turn beyond hand tight, to set tension.

Excess length of draw-up rods must not extend beyond front and rear section to ensure proper fit of jacket, adjust accordingly.

Step h. Release tension on hydraulic pumps and rams and remove.

C.HYDROSTATIC TEST - After the boiler sections have been assembled, it is essential that the boiler be hydrostatically tested before the jacket frame,

insulation, internal wiring, piping or jacket is installed. This test is an ASME Code Requirement.

1.Block Assembly must be free of air, provide valve in 4” bushing on top supply tapping to purge air during the filling process. Plug all boiler tappings and fill entirely with cold water.

CAUTION

DO NOT install gauge until after hydrostatic testing the boiler. Gauge failure may result.

2.Assembled boilers shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test of not less than 1½ times the maximum allowable working pressure, as established by the relief valve supplied with the boiler. For example, a boiler with a 50 psi relief valve must be subjected to a test pressure of 75 psig to 85 psig.

WARNING

Failure to properly hydrotest all boilers at the correct pressure may result in section assembly failure in operation.

3.EXAMINE BOILER CAREFULLY, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, to insure against leaks from cocked nipples or through concealed breakage caused in shipping and handling. This precaution is for your protection and will simplify handling of necessary replacements and adjustment claims.

4.After making certain that there are no leaks, drain boiler and remove plugs from boiler trim and other connections.

29

Repeat this process for each joint, securing the previous assembly to the tube shown in next column to the right in Table VII, also refer to Figure 13

for details. If space behind the boiler is limited, on RWMT’s having two or more tubes, it may be necessary to assemble the end cap to the adjoining tube and then insert the assembly, capped end first, into the 4” NPT tapping on the back of the rear section before joining the remaining tube(s). Allow approximately 1½” of the tube to protrude from the tapping, so that the next tube can be secured to the assembly. Once the next tube is secured, insert the assembly further into the tapping. Repeat this procedure as necessary for up to seven (7) tube RWMT assemblies.

4.Insert the completed RWMT assembly into the 4” NPT tapping until the end cap reaches the front of the boiler. The front support clip on the end cap must rest on the internal shelf inside of the upper 3” NPT boss on the front section. If necessary, insert

along screw driver, wooden dowel or a short length of 1/2 pipe through the 3” NPT tapping and into the support collar on the end cap to lift and maneuver the tube into position.

5.Install CI Return Manifold and 4” NPT Nipple - See Figure 9.

a.Apply thread-sealing compound to both ends of 4” NPT nipple and hand tighten nipple into one end of the CI Return Manifold (return manifold casting is symmetrical about the ends).

b.Slide the CI Return Manifold Assembly over RWMT, and install the threaded end of the 4” NPT nipple into 4” NPT tapping in rear section.

c.Wrench CI Return Manifold Assembly until watertight and ½” NPT tappings (positioning plugs) are aligned with vertical axis of rear section as shown in Figure 14.

6.Thread upper and lower positioning plugs into 1/2” NPT tappings. If necessary, push forward or pull back on RWMT assembly and/or rotate until pins on positioning plugs engage alignment holes in tube, see Figure 13. Wrench both plugs until water tight.

7.Install RWMT front support plug into 3” NPT tapping on upper front section boss.

a.Looking through 3” tapped hole, check position of support collar on RWMT end cap. Collar should be located approximately in the center of the tapped hole both vertically and horizontally.
