damage.
1. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected
and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery
of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.
2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment
must be fi led immediately against the carrier by the
consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage
in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer
unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt
of goods.
B.LOCATE BOILER in front of fi nal position before
removing crate. See Figures 1A thru 1D.
1. LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney
will be short and direct.
2. BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION
ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be
installed on carpeting.
3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide
a solid elevated base, such as concrete, if fl oor is
not level, or if water may be encountered on fl oor
around boiler.
4. PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least
24” clearance from front jacket panel for servicing
and removal of front tankless heater (increase to
30" for #A54 heater). If boiler is equipped with
a rear tankless heater, provide at least 24" service
clearance on the right side of the boiler. Boiler
fl ueways may be cleaned either from the top or from
the right side. Provide at least 24" clearance from
either the right side of the boiler or the top of the

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 unconfi ned space. If the
result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the
space is considered a confi ned space.
4. For boiler located in an unconfi ned space of a conventionally constructed building, the fresh
air infi ltration through cracks around windows
and doors normally provides adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
5. For boiler located in a confi ned space or an
unconfi ned space in a building of unusually tight
construction, provide outdoor air.
a. Outdoor air for combustion may be provided
with an optional Burnham V8 Inlet Air
Accessory Kit, Part Number 611280031 (ONLY AVAILABLE WITH BECKETT BURNER).
See Section VII for installation details.

rodesuera).cte,srenetfoscirbaf
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
confi ned space. Use indoor air if two
permanent openings communicate directly
with additional space(s) of suffi cient volume
such that combined volume of all spaces
meet criteria for unconfi ned 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 fi xed in the open
position, or interlocked with the equipment to
open automatically during equipment operation.

Steam Boilers Only
Steam boilers must use the lower input nozzle.
The lower input nozzle will provide greater
boiler effi ciency and for steam boilers, reduce
boiler corrosion. However, boiler output will be
reduced.
Burners for knockdown V83 - V86 steam boilers
are shipped with the lower (standard) fi ring rate
nozzle installed. Knockdown V87 - V89 boilers
are provided with one nozzle, installed in the
burner, that provides the same fi ring rate as the
water boiler of the same size.
a. Installation/Removal of Drawer Assembly
i.Loosen screws, rotate latches and swing
open the transformer.
ii. The combustion head assembly can be
removed with the blower wheel access cover
in place or removed. If the access cover is
removed, the head assembly will not have to
be rotated.
Disconnect the fl ared fi tting to the oil line
and remove the aluminum thumb-nut from
the nozzle line. Remove the combustion
head assembly from the air tube. Rotating
the assembly upside down will ease
removal.
iii. Loosen the clamp screw on the retention
ring assembly and slide the retention ring off
the adaptor.
Install and tighten the proper nozzle in
the adaptor. See Table 6 of this manual.
Be careful not to damage the electrode
insulators or to bend the wires.
iv. Replace the retention ring assembly, slipping
one of the riveted arms through the 1/8-inch
gap between the electrode tips. This arm
should be straight up. Also, be sure that
the retention ring clamp is tight against the
shoulder on the adaptor. Then tighten the
clamping screw.
v. Check the electrode settings specifi ed as
follows and shown in Figure 27C. 1/8-inch
gap, 1/4 to 5/16-inch above the nozzle
centerline, and fl ush to 1/16-inch ahead of

b. Combustion Head Positioning Bars
the nozzle tip.
vi. Re-install the combustion head assembly
holding it upside down while inserting
into the housing. The fl ame retention ring
end of the assembly must be lifted and
guided through the throttle cone (a reduced
diameter) in the end of the air tube. DO
NOT FORCE IT.
vii. After attaching the proper positioning bar,
refer to Paragraph 7,b, run the thumb-nut
onto the nozzle line and tighten it lightly.
Connect the fl ared fi tting on the copper oil
line to the nozzle line and tighten.
i.The Elite EZ-1HP and EZ-2HP burners are
supplied with the proper positioning bar
installed onto the housing that matches the
high (standard) input oil nozzle installed in
the burner. A second positioning bar and
nozzle for the lower (minimum) fi ring rate
is shipped loose for the V83-V86 models,
attached the burner.
Verify that the installed positioning bar
matches the high input oil nozzle installed
in the burner or replace them both with the
nozzle and positioning bar that matches
the lower fi ring rate, refer to Table 6 of this
manual.
The remaining bar(s) should be placed in
the rear of the housing or junction box for
future use in the event the fi ring rate must be
changed.
In the case of the EZ-1HP, the proper head
positioning bar is still matched by the size
of the nozzle, not the input. For example, if
nozzle size is 0.75 GPH, input @ 150 psi is
approximately 0.90 GPH and the proper bar
is 0.75 GPH.
directly on the air band. Loosen the locking
screw, move the air band until the pointer
on the air shutter and housing lines up with
the appropriate GPH INPUT. Tighten the
locking screws.
ii. The Elite burners use calibrated air bands
marked in nozzle sizes. Models EZ-1HP
and EZ-2HP have air bands calibrated to
deliver the proper amount of air for their
specifi c pump pressure. The air bands on
H.P. models are designed to be set by the
rating stamped on the nozzle.
iii. The burner is now set at the approximate
air band setting for the gallonage indicated.
During fi nal adjustment, using combustion
testing equipment, the air band may need
minor adjustment to achieve the desired
effi ciency.

Burners for knockdown V8 water boilers are
shipped with the high (standard) input oil nozzle
installed in the burner.
A second oil nozzle for the lower (minimum)
fi ring rate is shipped loose for the V83 - V86
models, attached to the burner. Either nozzle
may be used with water boilers. The lower
(minimum) input nozzle will provide greater
boiler effi ciency. However, boiler output will be
reduced. Refer to Table 1B for fi ring rates. If
the higher rate is desired, inspect the installed
nozzle and assure that the nozzle is the correct
size and type as specifi ed in Table 6 of this
manual. The nozzle input is stamped on the hex
fl at of the nozzle.
If the lower (minimum) input is desired, remove

D. PROCEDURE TO OPEN, CLOSE AND SECURE
BURNER SWING DOOR with articulated hinge.
Throughout this manual you will be instructed to
open and close the burner swing door for various
reasons. There is a proper and improper method to
closing and securing the burner swing door after it
has been removed and re-installed for Field Assembly
(Knockdown Boiler) or opened for inspection, cleaning
or fi eld service.
1. TO OPEN BURNER SWING DOOR (see Figures
11A and 11B).
Step 1. Loosen and remove right side latching
hardware (5/16" fl ange nut and washer).
Step 2. Loosen and remove left side hinge hardware
(5/16" x 3-1/2" lg. hex head fl ange bolt).
Step 3. The duel pivot articulated hinge allows right
side of door to be pulled outward and rotated
to the left all in one motion. To do so, place
your right hand under burner air tube and lift up
slightly to help carry the weight of the door and
burner. Use your left hand to grasp the door's
left side hinge fl ange, pull outward to rotate the
hinge, this motion will move the door outward
and to the left approximately 3" (see Figure 11B,
Position 2).
Figure 11A: Partial Front View - Burner Swing Door Mounted to Boiler - Fully Closed and Secured
26
Figure 11B: Top View - Burner Swing Door Mounted to Cast Iron Block Assembly (Jacket Removed for Clarity)
27
Step 4. From this position the door can be swung
clear of the vertical circulator return piping to
provide full access to the combustion chamber
and burner head (see Figure 11B, Position 3).
2. Perform routine inspection, service or cleaning as
necessary.
3. To close Burner Swing Door (see Figures 11A and
11B):
Step 1. From the fully open position, rotate Burner
Swing Door toward the closed position. Make
sure that the articulated hinge is rotated to the
extreme left position to allow the door to clear
the vertical circulator return piping as shown in
Figure 11B, Position 2.
Step 2. Grasp the door's left side hinge fl ange
in your left hand and place your right hand
under the burner air tube to lift upward. Lift
the door up unto the built-in cast ramp/door
rest (protruding from the bottom of the front
section casting - see Figure 11A), while rotating
the articulated hinge and door to the right and
engaging the slot (on right side of door) unto the
5/16" stud protruding from the front section.
Step 3. Use one hand to help hold door in position
by lifting up on rear burner housing or applying
pressure directly to the door while re-installing
the securing hardware with your opposite hand.
Always install right side latching hardware
(5/16" fl ange nut and fl at washer) fi rst, then install left side hinge hardware (5/16" x 31/2" lg. hex head fl ange bolt) second. Apply
additional pressure while hand tightening the
hardware as far as possible, then release the
pressure.

.sedishtobnoyllauqeni-nwardsirooderus
Step 4. Use a hand wrench to tighten door hardware
and always start with the right side fl ange nut fi rst. Use an alternating tightening method
from right side fl ange nut to left side fl ange
bolt to tighten door equally until sealed without
applying excessive torque. Never tighten left
side fl ange bolt fi rst or tighten either piece of
hardware 100% without using the alternating
tightening method described above.
Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could
cause thread damage to casting or a leak in the
door seal. If left side fl ange bolt is tightened
before right side fl ange nut, right side of door
can not be drawn-in to provide an air tight seal,
as shown in Figure 11C. Applying excessive
torque will only cause thread damage.

E. INSPECT COMBUSTION CHAMBER TARGET
WALL AND LINER, AND SWING DOOR
GASKET.
1. Open burner swing door using procedure previously
outlined in Paragraph D of this section.
2. Using a fl ashlight, inspect the rear target wall and
liner. The target wall should be rigidly secured to
the rear boiler section. The combustion chamber
liner should be evenly distributed in the boiler
chamber. If either is damaged, they must be
replaced.
3. Inspect ceramic rope located on the swing door.
The rope must be evenly distributed around the
perimeter of the door groove and cannot bunch or
overhang. There must not be a gap where the two
ends of the rope meet. Repair or replace if the rope
is damaged or if there is a gap between the ends.

Use ¾" NPT x 8" nipple and/or ¾" NPT coupling
included in trim bag. Safety or Relief Valve must
be installed with spindle in vertical position. Pipe
discharge as shown in Figures 13A, 13B, 13C and
14. Installation of the safety or relief valve must be
consistent with ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure
Design a piping system and install boiler which will
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 fi 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 fi 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.

B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN
PIPING TO BOILER. See Figures 13A, 13B and
13C. Also, consult I=B=R Installation and Piping
Guides.
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 12.
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 fl 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™ Indirect-Fired
Domestic Water Heater, install the Alliance™ as
a separate heating zone. Refer to the Alliance™
Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions for
additional information.
4. 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.) 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 13A,
13B and 13C in order to regulate water fl ow for
maintenance of higher boiler water temperature.

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.
5. If it is required to perform a long term pressure test of the hydronic system, the boiler should fi rst
be isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape
of air trapped must fi rst be removed from the boiler.
31
To perform a long term pressure test including the
boiler, ALL trapped air must fi 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.

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING STEAM SYSTEM.
The single most important factor in determining the
expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of
fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh
water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These
contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast
iron boiler sections.
1. Assure that all system radiators, piping and vents are
absolutely leak tight.
a. When a steam boiler is installed in an existing
system, ALL air vents should be replaced at the
same time. This assures that the new boiler will
not be compromised by existing system leaks.
b. If the system contains hidden supply or return
piping (hidden behind walls, buried in concrete,
etc.) pressure test this piping to assure there are
no leaks.

.evlavgniximtuohtiwretaeh
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS
HEATER:
1. FLOW REGULATION — If fl ow through the
heater is greater than its rating, the supply of
adequate hot water may not be able to keep up
with the demand. For this reason a fl ow regulator
matching the heater rating should be installed in
the cold water line to the heater. The fl ow regulator
should preferably be located below the inlet to the
heater and a minimum of 3’ away from the inlet
so that the regulator is not subjected to excess
temperatures that may occur during “off” periods
when it is possible for heat to be conducted back
through the supply line. The fl ow regulator also
limits the fl ow of supply water regardless of inlet
pressure variations in the range of 20 to 125 psi.
2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation
of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some
cold water with the hot. This prevents the possibility
of scalding hot water at the fi xtures. In addition,
savings of hot water will be achieved since the user
will not waste as much hot water while seeking a
water temperature. Higher temperature hot water
required by dishwashers and automatic washers is
possible by piping the hot water from the heater
prior to entering the mixing valve. The mixing valve
should be “trapped” by installing it below the cold
water inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the
valve. Refer to Figure 15A.
3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains
some sediment which settles on the inside of the
coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically
s'rerutcafunamehthtiwecnadroccanievlav
back washed. This is accomplished by installing
hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city
pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater,
and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The
tees in which the hose bibs are located should be
the same size as heater connections to minimize
pressure drop.
4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary
to determine the hardness of your potable
water. This is applicable to some city water and
particularly to well water. An appropriate water
softener should be installed based on the analysis
and dealer’s recommendation. This is not only
benefi cial to the tankless heater but to piping and fi xtures plus the many other benefi ts derived from
soft water.

SECTION VII: VENTING AND AIR INTAKE PIPING
A. GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES
1. Vent system installation must be in accordance
with these instructions and applicable provisions of
local building codes. Contact local building or fi re
offi cials about restrictions and installation inspection
in your area.
2. The V8 is designed to be vented into a fi reclay
tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed
from type L vent or a factory built chimney that
complies with the type HT requirements of UL103.
The chimney and vent pipe shall have a suffi cient
draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation
of the boiler. See Figure 16 for recommended
installation.
a. Install a draft regulator (supplied with boiler)
following the instructions furnished with the
regulator. See Figure 17 for alternate draft
regulator locations.
b. For the V82W, V84W and V86W the minimum
recommended chimney size from Table 1B
is one size larger than the smokebox outlet.
For a vertical vent, place the increaser on the
smokebox outlet collar. Otherwise, locate the
increaser in the horizontal vent at the entrance to
the chimney.
c. With any new or replacement installation the
chimney has to be considered. Chimneys that
have a high heat loss may become less suitable
as the heat loss of the home goes down and the
effi ciency of the boiler installed goes up. Most
homes have a chimney appropriate for the fuel
and the era in which the home was built. That
may have been a coal fi red or an ineffi cient oil fi red boiler built into a home without insulation
or storm windows. With increasing fuel prices
that home probably has been insulated and fi tted
with storm windows so that the heat loss of the
home has been reduced. This requires less fuel to
be burned and sends less heat up the chimney.
A new boiler probably has a higher effi ciency
than the boiler being replaced. That probably
means that the stack temperature from the
new boiler will be lower than that from the
old boiler and with less room air being drawn
up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The
combination of a large uninsulated chimney,
reduced fi ring rate, reduced fi ring time, lower
stack temperature and less dilution air can, in
some cases, contribute to the condensing of small
amounts of water vapor in the chimney. Such
condensation, when it occurs, can cause chimney
deterioration. In extreme cases, the chimney
may have to be lined to insulate the chimney and
thus prevent the condensation. The addition of
dilution air into the chimney may assist in drying
the chimney interior surfaces.
A massive chimney on a cold, or exposed outside
wall may have produced adequate draft when it
was fi red with a higher input and greater volumes
of heated gases. With reduced input and volume,
the draft may be severely affected. In one
instance our research showed a new chimney of
adequate sizing produced only .035" W.C. after
30 minutes of continuous fi ring at 13.0% CO
Outside wall chimneys take longer to heat up
and can have .00" W.C. draft at burner startup. You may have to consider a special alloy
chimney fl ue liner with insulation around it and a
stabilizing draft cap or even a draft inducing fan
in severe cases.
d. For the same reasons as in c. above, heat
extractors mounted into the breeching are not
recommended.
3. For minimum clearances to combustible materials
refer to Figure 2.
B. OPTIONAL AIR INTAKE PIPING
INSTALLATION - All air for combustion can be supplied directly to the burner from outdoors (ONLY
AVAILABLE WITH BECKETT BURNER). See

Figure 18: Optional Air Intake Piping Installation - Only Available with Beckett Burner
1. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in
accordance with requirements of the 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. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric
Codes for proper size and type of wire required.
Follow Code.
3. 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.
4. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing
through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control
boxes.
5. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line
voltage wiring.
6. If an Alliance™ indirect water heater is used, use
priority zoning. Do not use priority zoning for
Hydro-Air Systems.
7. If boiler is installed in Canada, a blocked vent safety
switch must be installed. Refer to Blocked Vent
Safety Switch Instruction Supplement provided with
boiler (Canada only).
8. Wiring should conform to Figures 19 through 23F.
B. INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an
inside wall about four feet above fl oor. Never install
thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be
infl uenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting fi xtures, television, rays of the sun or near a fi replace.
Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will
be free movement of room air around this control.
Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match
the requirements of the control to which it is connected.
See Figures 19 thru 23F for desired system and heat
anticipator setting. If system tends to overheat above
the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat
anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to
short cycle without reaching desired room temperature,
increase heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps.
When the thermostat calls for heat, it energizes the R8239C Control Center relay which in turn energizes the cad cell
primary control, bringing on the burner. The burner will operate in the following sequence: Prepurge for the fi rst 10
seconds; fi re until the thermostat is satisfi ed or the limit setting on the high limit is reached; post-purge for the last 10
seconds. When the high limit control restores the circuit on a drop in pressure, the burner will start if the thermostat is
still calling for heat.
The probe low water cut-off will shut down the burner after a 10-15 second delay, if the water level in the boiler drops
below the probe level.
The Hydrolevel CG450 low water cut-off will shut down the burner for 90 seconds every 10 minutes of fi ring time to
allow water level to stabilize. If the water level is too low the burner will not be allowed to restart.
The probe low water cut-off will reset and restart the burner with a call for heat a few seconds after the water is returned to its normal level.
On burner start, if the cad cell does not see fl ame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut burner
down and enter into a recycle mode, after 60 seconds burner will restart and repeat trial for ignition. If after three
(3) trials for ignition, fl ame is not detected, control will enter into restricted mode and must be reset manually before
burner can be restarted.
When there is no demand for heat, the operating control will maintain the boiler water temperature at the selected
setting for proper operation of the domestic water heater, if equipped with optional tankless heater.

SECTION IX: OIL PIPING
A. GENERAL
1. Use fl exible oil line(s) so the burner swing door
can be opened without disconnecting the oil supply
piping.
2. A supply line fuel oil fi lter is recommended as a
minimum for all fi ring rates but a pleated paper fuel
oil fi lter is recommended for the fi ring rates below
1.0 gph to prevent nozzle fouling.
3. Use Flared fi ttings only.
ECITON
4. Use of a high effi ciency micron fi lter (Garber or
equivalent) in addition to a conventional fi 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 24.

a light orange colored fl ame while the draft over
the fi re is —.02”. Use a smoke tester and adjust
air for minimum smoke (not to exceed #1) with a
minimum of excess air. Make fi nal check using
suitable instrumentation to obtain a CO
of 11.5 to
2
12.5% with draft of —.02” (water gauge) in fi re
box. These settings will assure a safe and effi cient
operating condition. If the fl ame appears stringy
instead of a solid fi re, try another nozzle of the same
type. Flame should be solid and compact. After all
adjustments are made recheck for a draft of —.02”
over the fi re.
3. READJUST THE HEAD SETTING only if
necessary.
Beckett Burners
a. V82 & V83:
Beckett MB(L1) Head burners have a fi xed head
which are non-adjustable.
b. V84 thru V89:
Beckett MD(V1) (variable) Head burners have
the ability to control air by moving the head. It
might be necessary to move the head forward
or back one position at a time to optimize the

2. VERIFY PRIMARY CONTROL FEATURES
using procedures outlined in Instructions furnished
with control or instructions as follows:
a. FEATURES AND CONTROLS
i.The R7184 is a microprocessor-based
control. The indicator light provides
diagnostic information for lockout, recycling
and patented cad cell status. There is a
manual reset button to exit the Lockout
Mode and enter the Idle Mode (see Figure
28).
.gnitareposirenrubelihw
6. FLAME FAILURE
The V8 boiler controls operate the burner
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner
ceases to fi re and the reset button on the primary
control has tripped, the burner has experienced
ignition failure.
GNINRAW
.tohyrevsirebmahc
H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF
BURNER.
1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and
nozzle will compress when burner is on and will
expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from
nozzle at low pressure as burner slows down and
causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually
cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will
rid oil line of this air.
2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat
Paragraph I, No. 1. If this does not stop the
dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe
both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace
and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn
persist replace fuel pump.

air from the oil lines and fi lters, the R7184
can be placed in a purge routine by pressing
and releasing the reset button during the
safety check, delayed valve-on, ignition or
carry-over periods.
iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the
number of recycle trials (for each call
for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If
the fl ame is lost three times and does not
successfully satisfy a call for heat, the
R7184 locks out.
iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order
to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in
the combustion area, the control can only be
reset three times. The reset count returns to
zero each time a call for heat is successfully
completed.
• To reset from Restricted Mode: Press and
hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
When the LED fl ashes twice, the device
has reset.
69
v. T-T Jumper: Select models have pre-
installed T-T jumper resistor. To remove,
use side-cutting pliers to cut jumper (See
Figure 28).
vi. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil
primary control provides lockout, recycle
and cad cell indications as follows:
• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second
off): system is locked out or in Restricted
Mode.
• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds
off): control is in Recycle Mode.
• On: cad cell is sensing fl ame.
• Off: cad cell is not sensing fl ame.
vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper
operation it is important that the cad cell
resistance is below 1600 ohms. During a
normal call for heat, once the control has
entered the Run Mode, press and release the
reset button. Indicator light will fl ash 1 to 4 fl ashes. See Table 5 for equivalent cad cell
resistance.
outlined in control feature. If
resistance is below 1600 OHMS and
burner runs beyond safety cut-out time,
cad cell is good.
• If safety switch shuts down burner and
resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line
switch to boiler. Access cad cell under
ignitor, clean face of cad cell and see that
cell is securely in socket. Check gasket
around perimeter of ignitor lid for proper
seal. If gasket is missing or damaged,
replace gasket. Room light can effect cad
cell resistance. Reset safety switch.
• Close line switch to boiler. If burner starts
and runs beyond safety switch cut-off
time, cell is good. If not, install new cell.
v. Power Failure Check: After Flame is
established, turn the power off to the control/
burner. The burner should shut down safely.
When power is restored a normal ignition
sequence should be started.
3. WARNING — Check High Limit Control
— Jumper Thermostat Terminals. Allow burner to
operate until shut-down by limit. Installation is not
considered complete until this check has been made.

automatically resets after the water temperature drops past
the set point and through the 10°F differential.
Set the indicator at desired shut-off temperature.
LOW LIMIT OPERATION —
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at
the minimum setting of 10°F, the burner circuit (R-B) breaks
and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at the low limit set
point. On a temperature drop of 10°F below the set point,
the R-B circuit makes and the R-W circuit breaks.
ADJUSTABLE DIFFERENTIAL —
At any differential setting greater than 10°F, the R-B
make temperature and R-W break temperature will remain
the same-control setting minus 10°F. The R-B break and
R-W make temperature will be the set point temperature
plus the difference between the differential setting and 10°F.
EXAMPLE: Set point of 140°F; differential set at 25°F. On
a temperature rise, R-B will break and R-W will make at
155°F. On a temperature fall, R-B will make and R-W will
break at 130°F.
Set low limit indicator at the minimum temperature
recommended for domestic hot water supply. This setting
must be at least 20°F below high limit setting to prevent one
switch from locking out the other.
Set the differential the desired number of degrees. 25°F
differential gives longest burner cycles.

AQUASTAT SWITCHING ACTION WITHIN
L8148A CONTROLS
The switching action in the L8148A 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 make 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.
Set the indicator at the desired shut-off temperature.

1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF
Although these devices are solid state in their
operation, the probe is exposed to possible
contamination in the boiler water and subject to
fouling.
It is important to physically remove the probe from
the boiler tapping annually and inspect that probe
for accumulation of scale or sediment.
Follow these steps to inspect, clean and/or replace
the probe:
a. Turn off electric service to the boiler.
b. Drain boiler water to a level below the tapping
for the probe.
c. Disconnect wiring connections between the low
water cut-off control and the probe.
d. Remove the low water cut-off control from the
probe.

e. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping.
f. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed
to the boiler water for a scale or sediment
buildup.
g. Light deposits may be removed by wiping the
probe with a damp cloth. Wiping the probe with
a cloth soaked in vinegar will remove more
tenacious lime deposits. The most stubborn
deposits may be removed from the probe by
using a diluted amount, 3 parts of water to 1 part
of phosphoric acid (H

dope to the pipe threads on the probe, leaving the
two end threads bare. Do not use PTFE (Tefl on)
tape.
j. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.
k. Mount the low water cut-off control on the
probe.
l. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.
m. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline.
n. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed
(refer to Paragraph B.).
o. Restore electric service to the boiler.
p. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a
boil to drive off free oxygen.
q. WARNING — BEFORE RETURNING
BOILER TO SERVICE: Follow the low
water cut-off check out procedure in Section X,
Paragraph I, No. 4.
2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF
During the heating season, if an external low water
cut-off is on the boiler, the blow off valve should
be opened once a month (use greater frequency
where conditions warrant), to fl ush out the sediment
chamber so the device will be free to function
properly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROUBLE FREE
OPERATION
1. STEAM BOILERS
a. Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a
new boiler and piping must be removed in order
to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over
of the water into the supply main above boiler.
74
Operate the boiler with steam in the entire
system for a few days allowing the condensate
to return to the boiler. If the condensate can
temporarily be wasted, operate boiler only for
the length of time it takes for condensate to run
clear. If the latter cannot be achieved or if the
condensate is returned to the boiler, boil out
the boiler using the SURFACE BLOW-OFF
connection, see Figure 5.
i. Drain boiler until 1” of water is visible in
gauge glass. Run temporary 1½” NPT pipe
line from the surface blow-off connection to
an open drain or some other location where
hot water may be discharged safely. Do not
install valve in this line.
ii. Drain about 5 gallons of hot water from
boiler into a container and dissolve into it
an appropriate amount of recommended boil
out compound. Remove safety valve & add
solution to boiler water thru exposed tapping
using a funnel.
ECITON

elbatpeccarofsecivrestnemtaertretaw
.sdnuopmocgninaelclacimehc
iii. Start burner and operate suffi ciently to boil
the water without producing steam pressure.
Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed
pipe suffi ciently to permit a steady trickle
of water from the surface blow-off pipe.
Continue this slow boiling and trickle of
overfl ow for several hours until the water
coming from the overfl ow is clear.
iv. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner
and to a location that hot water can be
discharged with safety.
v. Refi ll boiler to normal water line. If water
in gauge glass does not appear to be clear,
repeat steps (i. thru iii.) and boil out the
boiler for a longer time.
b. Low pressure steam boilers such as the V8
Series should be maintained with appropriate
water treatment compounds. Add suitable water
treatment compounds as recommended by your
qualifi ed water treatment company.
c. Remove temporary surface blow-off piping, plug
tapping and reinstall safety valve. Boil or bring
water temperature to 180°F promptly in order to
drive off the dissolved gases in the fresh water.
d. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming
persist, install gate valve in Hartford Loop and
drain valves in return main and at boiler as
shown in Figure 14 and proceed as follows:
iConnect hoses from drain valves to fl oor
drain. Close gate valve in Hartford Loop and
open drain valve in return main. Fill boiler
to normal water level, turn on oil burner and
operate boiler at this water level for at least
30 minutes after the condensate begins to
run hot, then turn off burner.
Close all radiator valves. Remove all supply
main air valves and plug the openings in
supply main.
ii. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from
boiler into a container and dissolve into it
the appropriate amount of a recommended
boilout compound. Remove safety valve
from boiler and pour this solution into
boiler, then reinstall safety valve.
iii. Turn on oil burner and keep operating while
feeding water to boiler slowly. This will
raise water level in boiler slowly so that
water will be boiling hot and will rise slowly
into supply main and back through return
main, fl owing from drain hose at about
180°F. Continue until water runs clear from
drain hose for at least 30 minutes.
iv. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue
operating oil burner until excess water in
boiler fl ows out through supply main and
water lowers (by steaming) until it reaches
normal level in boiler. Turn off oil burner.
Drain boiler. Open all radiator valves.
Reinstall all supply main air valves. Open
gate valve in Hartford Loop.
v. When boiler has cooled down suffi ciently
(crown sheet of sections are not too hot to
touch), close the drain valves at boiler and
in return main and feed water slowly up to
normal level in boiler. Turn on oil burner
and allow boiler to steam for 10 minutes,
then turn off burner. Draw off one quart of
water from bottom gauge glass fi tting and
discard. Draw off another quart sample and
if this sample is not clear, repeat the cycle
of draining the boiler and return main and
refi lling the boiler until sample is clear.
vi. If the boiler water becomes dirty again
at a later date due to additional sediment
loosened up in the piping, close gate valve
in Hartford Loop, open drain valve in
return main, turn on oil burner and allow
Condensate to fl ow to drain until it has run
clear for at least 30 minutes while feeding
water to boiler so as to maintain normal
water level. Turn off oil burner, drain boiler,
open gate valve in Hartford Loop, then
repeat Step 1 above.
e. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and
refi lled as previously described, test the pH of
the water in the system. This can easily be done
by drawing a small sample of boiler water and
75
testing with hydrion paper which is used in the
same manner as litmus paper, except it gives
specifi c readings. A color chart on the side of the
small hydrion dispenser gives the reading in pH.
Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable
from any chemical supply house or through your
local druggist. The pH should be higher than
7, but lower than 11. Add some of the washout
chemical (caustic soda), if necessary, to bring the
pH within the specifi ed range.
f. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
2. WATER BOILERS
a. Filling of Boiler and System — General —-In a
hot water heating system, the boiler and entire
system (other than the expansion tank) must be
full of water for satisfactory operation. Water
should be added to the system until the boiler
pressure gauge registers 12 psi. To insure that the
system is full, water should come out of all air
vents when opened.
b. Boiling Out of Boiler and System. The oil and
grease which accumulate in a new hot water
boiler can be washed out in the following
manner.
i. Remove relief valve using extreme care to
avoid damaging it.
ii. Add an appropriate amount of recommended
boil out compound.
iii. Replace relief valve.
iv. Fill the entire system with water.
v. Start fi ring the boiler.
vi. Circulate the water through the entire
system.
vii. Vent the system, including the radiation.
viii. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
ix. Continue to circulate the water for a few
hours.
x. Stop fi ring the boiler.
xi. Drain the system in a manner and to a
location that hot water can be discharged
with safety.
xii. Remove plugs from all available returns
and wash the water side of the boiler as
thoroughly as possible, using a highpressure water stream.
xiii. Refi ll the system with fresh water.
c. Add appropriate boiler water treatment
compounds as recommended by your qualifi ed
water treatment company.
d. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.After boiler and system have been cleaned and
refi lled as previously described, test the pH of
the water in the system. This can easily be done
by drawing a small sample of boiler water and
testing with hydrion paper which is used in the
same manner as litmus paper, except it gives
specifi c readings. A color chart on the side of the
small hydrion dispenser gives the reading pH.
Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable
from any chemical supply house or through
your local druggist. The pH should be higher
than 7 but lower than 11. Add appropriate water
treatment chemicals, if necessary, to bring the pH
within the specifi ed range. With this lower level
of protection, care must be exercised to eliminate
all of the free oxygen in the system.
e. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.

A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler which can signifi 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 cast iron. When this
happens the cast iron 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 cast iron through from the inside. Since neither of
these failure types are the result of a casting 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.

1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or
crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to
reach all corners.
2. With steam boilers, at end of season add suffi cient
water to fi ll boiler to top of water column and leave
it that way until fall when water should be drained
again to proper level. If at this time boiler water is
dirty, drain water, fl ush out boiler, and refi ll with
clean water to prescribed water level.
3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off
if the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section X, Paragraphs A through J.
1. Prior to cleaning boiler, lay a protective cloth or
plastic over combustion chamber blanket to collect
debris falling from fl ueways.
2. For access to combustion chamber remove two (2)
5/16" - 18 cap screws, one on the right (1¼" long)
and one on the left (3¼" long). If boiler is equipped
with fl exible fuel line(s), swing door open.
3. For cleaning from the side:
a. Remove the jacket right side access panel to
expose the fl ue cover plates.
b. Loosen nuts securing the fl ue cover plates and
remove the plates. The rope gasket should
be removed with the plates with care to avoid
damage to the rope gasket.
4. For cleaning from the top:
a. Remove as much vent pipe as necessary to allow
removal of the jacket top panel and canopy.
b. Remove the jacket top panel.
c. Remove the canopy, being careful not to damage
the gasket.

1. 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 V8 boiler is the
result of extensive testing to obtain the best fl ame
shape and effi cient combustion. Other brands of the
same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but
may not perform at the expected level of CO
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.
2. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion
chamber through the observation port, the fl ame
should appear straight with no sparklers rolling up
toward the crown of the chamber. If the fl ame drags
to the right or left, sends sparklers upward or makes
wet spots on the target wall, the nozzle should be
replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks,
air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described above.
3. 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 ignitor, 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 fi re hazard.
4. AIR LEAKS — Any such leaks should be repaired,
as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in
extreme cases may become a fi re hazard.
5. 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 burner mounting gasket,
observation door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks
will cause a lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The
smaller the fi ring rate the greater effect an air leak
can have on CO2 readings.
6. DIRT — A fuel fi 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
fi ring rate, the smaller the slots become in the nozzle
and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the
same amount of dirt.
7. 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 fl ame and causes smoke and unburned fuel to
pass out of the combustion chamber and clog the
fl ueways of the boiler.
and
2
8. 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 fl 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.
9. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS — Air
openings must be increased at higher altitudes. Use
instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO
10. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause
of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode
settings, fl ame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.
11. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the fl 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 fi ring cycles for that
air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in the
fuel or poor fl ame shape can also cause shut down
noises.

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 fl 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 fl 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
confi gurations. The 120 VAC confi 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 fi 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
