WARNING
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.
This boiler must be properly vented. The chimney must be inspected for any obstructions and cleaned
prior to each heating season. A clean and unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to produce the minimum
draft required to safely evacuate noxious fumes that could cause personal injury or loss of life. Evidence
of loose debris and or condensate induced stains at the base of the chimney ue, connector or smokepipe
joints may be signs of condensing ue gases. Flue gas condensate is corrosive, which requires special
consideration and must be addressed immediately. Refer to Section V, "Venting and Air Intake Piping".
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
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 ammable debris, rags, paper,
wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of
re hazards.
All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which, if ignored, can cause severe
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door, unplug burner power cord
from receptacle located in lower right corner of jacket front panel and turn off service switch to boiler
to prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door
fasteners completely when service is completed.

Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)
NOTES:
1. Listed clearances comply with American National Standard
ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment.
2. MegaSteam™ 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. For reduced clearances to combustible material, protection
must be provided as described in the above ANSI/NFPA 31
standard.
7
NOTICE
Clearance to venting is for single wall vent
pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may be
reduced to the minimum required by the vent pipe
manufacturer.
C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and should
be referenced.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided to assure proper combustion and
to maintain safe ambient air temperatures.
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other
ammable vapors or liquids, or sources of
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, fabric softeners,
etc.) are used or stored.
Do not install boiler in laundry room, or, in
vicinity of clothes dryer to prevent inadequate
air supply to burner and lint contamination of
burner air intake openings.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms
communicating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
space.
Volume(ft3) = Length(ft) x Width(ft) x Height(ft)
2. Determine total input of all appliances in the space.
Add inputs of all appliances in the space and round
the result to the nearest 1000 BTU per hour.
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by total
input of all appliances in space. If the result is
greater than or equal to 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour,
then it is considered an unconned space. If the
result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the
space is considered a conned space.
4. For boiler located in an unconned space of a
conventionally constructed building, the fresh
air inltration through cracks around windows
and doors normally provides adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
5. For boiler located in a conned space or an
unconned space in a building of unusually tight
construction, provide outdoor air.
a. Outdoor air for combustion may be provided
with an optional Burnham Inlet Air Accessory
Kit, Part Number 611280031 (only available
and suitable for use on Beckett AFG with
burner enclosure cover burner). See Section V
for installation details.
or
b. Outdoor air may be provided with the use of 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 of top
of space. Locate remaining opening within 12
inches of bottom of space. Minimum dimension
of air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per
following:
i. Direct communication with outdoors.
Minimum free area of 1 square inch per
4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment
in space.
ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 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 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.
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.
6. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts
a. All outside openings should be screened and
louvered. Screens used should not be smaller
than 1/4 inch mesh. Louvers will prevent the
entrance of rain and snow.
b. Free area requirements need to consider the
blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
protecting the openings. If the free area of the
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.
c. Louvers and grilles must be xed in the open
position, or interlocked with the equipment to
open automatically during equipment operation.
