WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.
This boiler has been designed for residential installations. If used for commercial applications, any additional code requirements must be adhered to for installation. This may require additional controls including, but not limited to, a low water cut off, manual reset high temperature limit, and wiring and/or piping modifications. The manufacturer is not responsible for any installation changes made to boiler installation which are not described or acknowledged in this manual.
INTRODUCTION
This appliance is a gas-- fired direct vent cast aluminum hot water boiler. A revolutionary cast aluminum heat exchanger means better heat transfer and thermal storage than similarly sized cast iron boilers, which results in higher efficiency. The heating system water absorbs large amounts of heat from the cast aluminum heat exchanger, cooling the flue gases and causing condensation. Sealed combustion, premix gas burner, and low flame temperature means drastically reduced CO and NOx emissions, which contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.
This appliance, unlike normal residential atmospheric and induced draft units, takes its combustion air directly from the outdoors (sealed combustion) and does not compete with building occupants for fresh air. Sealed combustion (also known as “direct vent”) is the safest and best way to obtain plenty of
RIGHT SIDE
LEVELING FEET
BACK
clean combustion air. The forced draft fan draws in the outside combustion air to mix with gas, which flows into the pre--mix burner and combusts. The fan then forces the resulting flue gases from the boiler unit and provides a positive removal of the flue gases from the building through inexpensive and readily available PVC and CPVC pipes.
BOILER RATINGS AND CAPACITIES
Ratings shown are for sea level applications. (See Table 1.) The boiler automatically derates input as altitude increases, at 4 percent for every 1000 feet above sea level. No alterations to boiler are required for altitudes above sea level.
These low pressure gas-- fired hot water boilers are design certified by CSA International, for use with natural and propane gases. The boilers are constructed and hydrostatically tested for a maximum working pressure of 50 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) in accordance with ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IV Standards for heating boilers.
The Boilers are certified in accordance with ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Z21.13 standards as gas--fired, direct vent, condensing, hot water boilers.
The Heating Capacity indicates the amount of heat available after subtracting the losses up the stack. Most of this heat is available to heat water. A small portion is heat loss from the jacket and surfaces of the boiler, and it is assumed that this heat stays in the structure. The Net I=B=R Rating represents the portion of the remaining heat that can be applied to heat the radiation or terminal units (i.e. finned tube baseboard, cast iron radiators, radiant floor, etc.). The difference between the Heating Capacity and the Net I=B=R Rating, called the piping and pickup allowance, establishes a reserve for heating the volume of water in the system and offsetting heat losses from the piping. The Net I=B=R Ratings shown are based on a piping and pickup factor of
1.15 in accordance with the I=B=R Standard as published by the Hydronics Institute. The Net I=B=R Rating of the boiler selected should be greater than or equal to the calculated peak heating load (heat loss) for the building or area(s) served by the boiler and associated hot water heating systems. The manufacturer should be consulted before selecting a boiler for installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.

LOCATING THE BOILER
All distances measured from the cabinet of the boiler. (See Table
2.)
1. Select a location which is level, central to the piping systems served and as close to the vent and air intake terminals as possible.
2. Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e. larger clearances) than required fire protection clearances, must be used for the boiler installation. Accessibility clearances may be achieved with the use of removable walls or partitions.
3. The boiler is approved for installation in closets and on combustible floors. This boiler shall NOT be installed on carpeting.
4. The clearances shown in Table 2 indicate required clearances per CSA listing. A minimum 1 in. clearance must be maintained between combustible construction and each of the right, top and back surfaces of the boiler. A minimum 8” clearance is required on the left side, to allow room for the inlet air pipe. An 18” clearance must be maintained at the front where passage is required for cleaning or servicing, inspection or replacement of any parts that normally may require such attention. Allow at least 24” at the front and left side and 8” at the top for servicing. No combustible clearances are required to venting or combustion air intake piping.
5. Equipment shall be installed in a location which facilitates the operation of venting and combustion air intake piping systems as described in this manual.
6. Advise owner of boiler to keep venting and combustion air intake passages free of obstructions. Both the venting and combustion air intake piping systems connected to the outdoors must permit flow through the piping systems without restrictions for the boiler to operate.
7. The boiler shall be installed such that the automatic gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).
8. The boiler must be located where ambient temperatures (minimum possible room air temperatures where boiler is installed assuming boiler is not in operation and therefore contributes no heat to the space) are always at or above 32 degrees F to prevent freezing of liquid condensate.
COMBUSTION AND VENT PIPE
This boiler requires a dedicated direct vent system. In a direct vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from outside atmosphere, and all flue products are discharged to outside atmosphere.
Combustion air and vent pipe connections must terminate together in the same atmospheric pressure zone, either through the roof or sidewall (roof termination preferred). See Fig. 8 through 12 for required clearances.

STEP 8 Controls and Accessories
This section provides a brief description of the key controls and accessories found in this boiler.
See Troubleshooting in the Service Hints section of this installation manual for detailed sequences of operation and troubleshooting procedures. See the Repair Pa rts section of this manual for locations of all control components and accessories described.
INTEGRATED BOILER CONTROL
The Integrated Boiler Control (IBC) is a microprocessor based controller for a high efficiency gas boiler that monitors all safety controls and controls the operation of the combustion air blower, circulator pump, burner, and a combination hot surface igniter/flame sensor. This controller is not intended for use with a vent damper. This controller is mounted on the control panel inside of the boiler and contains five diagnostic indicator lights. (See Fig. 18 and T able 4.)
GAS CONTROL VAL
The electronic 24 volt gas control valve contains a 1:1 gas/air pressure regulator to control the gas flow to the main burner of the appliance and is suited for natural and propane gases. The valve is rated in accordance with ANSI Z21.21-- latest revision and CGA--6.5--M95. (See Fig. 19.)
HOT SURFACE
The 120 volt Hot Surface Igniter heats up to 1800_F to initiate combustion of the gas in the burner. The igniter is mounted next to the burner through the gas/air mixer. The igniter also serves as a means for proving the main burner flame by flame rectification. In the event of a lack of flame signal on three (3) consecutive trials for ignition, the IBC will lockout. The “VALVE” and “FLAME” diagnostic indicator lamps (lamp “D” and “E” on the IBC, see Fig. 18) will blink indicating the failure mode as a lack of flame signal. The IBC is manually reset from lockout by either

removing and reestablishing the thermostat’s call for heat, or by turning the service switch off, then back on.
L4006A HIGH LIMIT AQUASTAT
The High Limit Aquastat Control determines the maximum boiler water temperature and also provides a means for protecting the boiler and heating system from unsafe operating conditions which could damage the boiler. The aquastat is mounted in the 1/2” NPT control well and 3/4” x 1/2” bushing on the top of the front boiler section at the hot water outlet. The aquastat is tied in with the IBC and is factory set at 180_F water temperature. The high limit setpoint is field adjustable and may be set anywhere between 100_F and 200_F . The field setpoint adjustment for each installation depends on heating system requirements. The aquastat automatically resets when the boiler water temperature decreases 20_ below the setpoint value. The reset value can be field adjusted within a range of 5 to 30_F.
NOTE: The maximum setpoint of the Aquastat must not exceed 200_F.
CASTING TEMPERATURE SAFETY
In the event of lack of or loss of water in the boiler, the Casting Temperature Safety Switch (230_F setpoint) installed on the top of the aluminum boiler section behind the supply piping shuts off the boiler by shutting off power to the Integrated Boiler Control (IBC) and causes the Power Indicator Light to go out. This fault requires manual reset of the casting temperature safety switch to restart the boiler. Verify that the boiler is properly filled with water before resetting this switch.
!
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
Never run cold water into a hot, empty boiler.
CONTROL
SWITCH
14
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE AIR PROVING SWITCH
(2)
The diaphragm type differential pressure switches are connected by vinyl tubing to the gas valve and the air inlet connection on the negative side and the sight glass adapter on the positive side. The pressure switches monitors airflow by sensing the diffential pressure measured in inches of water (“ w.c.). The factory settings on these switches are 0.5” w.c. on the normally open switch and
3.5” w.c. for the normally closed switch. See the Sequence of Operation section of this manual for details on the operation of the differential pressure switches.
BLOWER
The blower provides a means for pushing combustion air into and through the mixer, the burner, and the flue ways of the cast aluminum boiler section before being discharged through the vent piping to the outdoors.
CIRCULATOR
PUMP
Every forced hot water system requires at least one circulating pump. The circulating pump imparts the necessary energy to move the water through the closed loop supply and return piping systems, terminal heating equipment (i.e. finned tube radiators, etc.) and back through the boiler for reheating. To provide the required hot water flow rates, the circulator pump must be properly sized to overcome frictional losses (usually measured in feet of water, also referred to as “pump head loss”) of the supply and return piping systems and boiler. The circulator pump is furnished in a carton within the boiler cabinet. The circulator(s) should always be located in the downstream (i.e., “pumping away”) side of the expansion tank.
DRAIN VAL
VE
The manual drain valve provides a means of draining the water in the heating system, including the boiler and hot water supply and return piping systems installed above the drain valve. This drain valve is installed in the 3/4” tapping at the bottom of the front boiler section. Any piping installed below the elevation of this drain valve will require additional drain valves to be installed at low points in the piping systems in order to drain the entire system.
ASME RATED PRESSURE RELIEF VAL
VE
Each boiler must have a properly sized and installed American Society of Mechanical Engineers rated pressure relief valve. Water expands as it is heated by the burner/boiler sections. If there is no place for the water to expand its volume, (i.e. a properly sized and properly functioning expansion tank) pressure on the inside of the boiler and heating system will increase. The furnished relief valve will automatically open at 30 psig pressure to relieve the strain on the boiler and heating system from the increasing pressure. The pressure relief valve discharge must be piped with the same size as the valve discharge opening to an open drain, tub or sink, or other suitable drainage point not subject to freezing, in accordance with ASME specifications. Failure to provide the pressure relief valve with piping as herein described may cause water damage and/or serious bodily injury. The boiler manufacturer is not responsible for any water damage or personal injury.
BLOCKED VENT SAFETY SHUT
OFF
The boiler is equipped with a blocked vent safety shutoff which shuts off the main burner gas in the event that the airflow of combustion products through the flue--way is reduced. In the event of a blocked flue--way, enough air will not be available to support combustion and the IBC will lock out due to loss of adequate air flow. Pressure switches monitor air flow by sensing differential pressure. The contacts are normally open and close when the draft inducer is running and causing the differential pressure at the switch to exceed its setting. The closed switch proves there is adequate air flow for combustion. The pressure switch shuts off the main burner if the differential pressure is inadequate due to a blocked vent pipe, a blocked air intake, a
blocked boiler section, or a blocked air inducer. After 5 minutes of inadequate differential pressure, the IBC will lock out. The “Purge” indicator lamp will blink, indicating a failure to prove adequate combustion air flow or flue gas flow. (See Fig. 18.) The IBC will automatically reset after 15 minutes or can be manually reset as noted in the section titled “Hot Surface Igniter.” If the boiler cannot be restored to normal operating condition by resetting the control, contact a qualified service agency to check the heat exchanger flue--ways for blockage.
LOW WATER
CUT--OFF
This unit is equipped with a Low Water Cut--Off control that protects against dry firing. This control provides burner cut--off if there is an unsafe water loss, which can result from a broken or leaking radiator or pipe, or a cracked section in the boiler. A water/glycol mixture up to 50 percent concentration may be used with the Low Water Cut--Off.
(OPTIONAL) EXTERNAL CONDENSATE
PUMP
For installations where there is no floor drain or other appropriate drainage receptacle available to receive condensate from the boiler, an external float activated condensate pump with integral sump is required. The condensate pump can be piped to a remote tie in point to a sanitary sewer system. For this application, the boiler must be installed so that proper pitch of piping to the external condensate reservoir (sump) can be accomplished. Use wood frame or blocks to raise boiler as required for proper installation.
START--UP AND CHECK--OUT PROCEDURES
STEP 1 Water Treatment and Freeze Protection
1. When filling the boiler and heating system, water treatment is generally not required or desired. Consult local water treatment specialist for water treatment recommendations if your water pH levels are below 7.0 or hardness is above 7 grains hardness.
a. This boiler is designed for use in a closed hydronic
heating system ONLY!
b. Excessive feeding of fresh make--up water to the boiler
may lead to premature failure of the boiler sections.
2. Use clean fresh tap water for initial fill and periodic make--up of boiler.
a. A sand filter must be used if fill and make--up water
from a well is to be used.
b. Consideration should be given to cleaning the heating
system, particularly in retrofit situations, where a new boiler is being installed in an older piping system.
c. In older systems, obviously discolored, murky, or dirty
water, or a pH reading below 7, are indications that the system should be cleaned.
d.ApHreadingbetween7and8ispreferred.
3. Antifreeze, if needed, must be of a type specifically designed for use in closed hydronic heating systems and must be compatible with aluminum and be compatible with type 356 T6 aluminum at operating temperatures between 20 and 250 degrees F.
a. Use of antifreeze must be in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
b. Pure glycol solutions are very corrosive, therefore
hydronic system antifreeze typically contains corrosion inhibitors. Different brands of hydronic system antifreeze contain different types of corrosion inhibitors. Some brands have corrosion inhibitors that break down more rapidly or become ineffective at higher temperatures when used with aluminum. This could lead to premature failure of the aluminum boiler. Consult the antifreeze manufacturer on the compatibility of their product with aluminum.

c. Follow the antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions on
determining proper ratio of antifreeze to water for the expected low temperature conditions, and for maintaining the quality of the antifreeze solution from year to year. Improperly maintained antifreeze solutions will gradually lose their ability to protect the aluminum boiler from corrosion.
d. The recommended premixed antifreeze solution is
INTERCOOL NFP-- 5 0 . This product is sold direct to installing contractors by the antifreeze manufacturer. Please contact Interstate Chemical Company, New York Customer Service at 1--800--422--2436 to purchase. Use of an alternate manufacturer’s premix antifreeze is acceptable if the product specifications are compatible with those of the recommended premix antifreeze and the antifreeze is compatible with type 356 T6 aluminum. Use of incompatible antifreeze could damage the heat exchanger and could void product warranty. The antifreeze must be maintained per the specifications of the manufacturer. Failure to do so could result in the warranty being voided. Follow the antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions on determining the proper ratio of antifreeze to water for the expected low temperature conditions and for maintaining the antifreeze solution from year to year.
e. DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE,as
the type of corrosion inhibitors used will coat the boiler’s heat transfer surfaces and greatly reduce capacity and efficiency.
f. Use of antifreeze in any boiler will reduce heating
capacity by as much as 10 --20 percent, due to differing heat transfer and pumping characteristics. This must be taken into consideration when sizing the heating system, pump(s) and expansion tank. Consult antifreeze manufacturer’s literature for specific information on reduced capacity.
g. Water content of the boiler is 2.6 gallons (10 liters).
STEP 2 Filling Boiler with Water and Purging Air for Systems with Diaphragm Type Expansion Tanks
Refer to appropriate “Near Boiler Piping” diagrams.
1. Close all zone service valves on the supply and return piping. Open the feed valve and fill boiler with water.
Make sure air vent is open. Hold relief valve open until water runs air free for five seconds to rapidly bleed air from boiler, then let the relief valve snap shut.
2. Open the zone service valve on the supply pipe for the first zone. Open the purge valve on the first zone. Feed water will fill the zone, pushing air out the purge valve. Close the purge valve when the water runs air free. Close the zone service valve.
3. Repeat step 2 for all remaining zones.
4. Open all service valves. Any air remaining trapped in the return lines between the service valves and the boiler will be pushed towards the air vent when the boiler is placed in operation.
5. Inspect piping system. Repair any leaks immediately.

3. Check for orifice in negative pressure hose at gas valve and 2” air intake pipe upstream of gas valve.
4. Relight boiler.
5. If boiler still does not light, the air inlet pipe may need to be disconnected to allow the boiler to start in order to verify the boiler firing rate and combustion properties. The inlet air pipe can be disconnected by removing the PVC inlet air piping from the Femco fitting located on the air inlet of the gas valve/venturi assembly. Relight boiler.
6. When the boiler lights, the firing rate and combustion should be checked per the “Adjustments and Checkout” procedure in Step 5 of the START--UP AND CHECK--OUT PROCEDURES section of this manual. If the air inlet piping was disconnected in step 4 (above), leave it disconnected and make the first adjustment. Reconnect air inlet piping, recheck combustion CO
,and

USED)
For a single thermostat connected to the yellow thermostat lead wires in the furnished field wiring junction box, the heat anticipator should be set at 0.7 amps. For other wiring configurations, refer to the instructions provided by the thermostat manufacturer regarding adjustment of heat anticipator. Cycle boiler with thermostat. Raise the thermostat to the highest setting and verify boiler goes through normal start up cycle. Lower thermostat to lowest setting and verify boiler goes off.
MEASURE THE NATURAL GAS INPUT RA
TE
Correct input rate is essential for proper and efficient operation of the burner and boiler.
1. Determine elevation at installation site.
2. See Table 5 and 6 to determine the correct approximate input rate for the local elevation.
3. Obtain the yearly average heating value of the local gas supply from the gas utility. At sea level elevation, it should be approximately 1000 Btu’s per standard cubic foot.
4. Operate boiler for 5 minutes.
5. Turn off all other gas appliances, extinguishing standing pilots where applicable.
6. At gas meter, measure time in seconds required to use one cubic foot of gas.
7. Calculate “input rate” according to the following formula:
Btuh input rate = 3600 x heating value from step 3
time from step 6
8. The measured input rate should be within +/--2 percent of the input rating from step 2. If not, see the ADJUSTMENTS section.

ADJUSTMENTS AND
CHECKOUT
NOTE: It is important that this appliance operate between 8.5
and 10% CO
. To verify that the appliance is operating in this
2
range, follow the steps below:
1. Check incoming gas pressure to the appliance using a water column manometer with resolution of 0.1 inch w.c. or better and a range of 0 to 14 inches of w.c. Connect the positive side of the manometer to the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve by loosening the inlet pressure tap screw from the raised port on the gas valve and sliding the manometer hose over the port. (See Fig. 19.)
2. Drill a hole in the plastic CPVC vent pipe or exhaust tee, just large enough to allow access for the sample probe of your combustion analyzer.
3. Turn the thermostat to the closed position so the appliance is activated.
4. Allow the appliance to run for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Insert the sample probe of your combustion analyzer into the hole you drilled in step 2, about halfway into the exhaust gas stream. Take a flue gas reading and observe the CO
value. Adjust the throttle screw until the CO
2
value is between 8.5 and 10%. Turning the throttle screw clockwise decreases the rate and the CO
value. Turning
2
the throttle screw (See Fig. 19) counterclockwise increases therateandtheCO
value. Allow the appliance to
2
stabilize for approximately 1 minute after adjusting the throttle screw before you take a reading with your combustion analyzer.
6. After adjustments are made, turn the gas and electric supplies to the boiler off. Remove the manometer hose from the gas valve and tighten the screw on the inlet pressure tap. Remove the CO meter and plug the hole in the CPVC with 400_F high temperature silicone.
7. Return the thermostat switch to its original position.

REVIEW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
Review all instructions shipped with this boiler with owner or maintenance person. Instructions must be affixed on or adjacent to the boiler.
COMPLETE AND SIGN THE INSTALLATION AND CHECK--OUT CERTIFICATE AT THE END OF THIS MANUAL.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance as outlined below can be performed by the owner unless otherwise noted.
The acidic nature of flue gases condensing on the aluminum boiler sections will cause the formation of aluminum oxide. This oxide formation is normal, is generally uniform throughout the boiler sections, and represents a negligible mass of aluminum that is consumed by oxidation during the life of the boiler. If left unchecked, this buildup may eventually cause blockage of the flue gas passages in the boiler sections, reducing efficiency, and ultimately shutting down the boiler due to lack of combustion air flow. Regular service and maintenance by a qualified service agency must be performed to assure safe trouble free operation and maximum efficiency. It is recommended to service the appliance at least once every 12 months.
STEP 1 Beginning of Each Heating Season
1. Schedule an annual service call by a qualified service agency, which includes:
a. Examine flue passages between boiler sections, burner,
and condensate lines, and clean, if necessary, following
2
the annual examination and cleaning instructions listed in Procedure 6.
b. Visually inspect venting and air intake system for
proper operation. If the vent or air intake show any signs of deterioration or leakage, repair or replace them immediately. Insure proper reassembly and resealing of the vent and air intake system.
c. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of
combustion air or venting of flue gases.
d. Follow instructions for “PLACING BOILER IN
OPERATION.”
e. Follow instructions for “CHECK OUT PROCEDURE
AND ADJUSTMENTS.”
f. Visually inspect condensate drain line for proper
operation. Check for deteriorated or plugged condensate drain line.
g. Check all gasketed joints for leakage, and tighten bolts
or replace gaskets, if necessary.
h. Remove jacket front and top panels and check for
piping leaks around relief valve and other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOT use stop leak compounds.
2. Check that boiler area is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
3. Circulator pump and blower motor furnished with boiler are permanently lubricated from the factory and require no further lubrication. Additional or non-- factory supplied pumps and/or motors should be lubricated according to the pump and/or motor manufacturer’s instruction.
STEP 2 Daily During Heating Season
1. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of combustion air or venting of flue gases.
2. Check that boiler area is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
STEP 3 Monthly During Heating Season
1. Remove jacket front and top panels and check for piping leaks around relief valve and other fittings. If found, contact a qualified service agency to repair. DO NOT use stop leak compounds.
2. Test relief valve. Refer to valve manufacturer’s instructions packaged with relief valve.
3. Visually inspect venting and air intake system for proper function. If the vent or air intake show any signs of deterioration or leakage, contact a qualified service agency to repair or replace them immediately and to insure proper reassembly and resealing of the vent and air intake system.
20
4. Visually inspect the PVC condensate drain pipe for proper operation. If the drain pipe shows any signs of blockage, leakage, or deterioration contact a qualified service agency to clean, repair, or replace it immediately.
5. Check air vent(s) for leakage.
STEP 4 Periodically During Heating Season
Where low water cut offs are used, a periodic inspection of the low water cut off is necessary, including flushing of float type devices. Refer to low water cut off manufacturer’s specific instructions.
STEP 5 End of Heating Season--Annual Shutdown Procedure
1. Follow instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE.”
2. If heating system is to remain out of service during freezing weather, and does not contain antifreeze, drain system completely. If boiler will be exposed to freezing temperatures, drain condensate lines. Otherwise, do not drain system or boiler.
STEP 6 Annual Examination and Cleaning of Boiler Components
The following service procedures must be performed only by a qualified service agency. Boiler owner should not attempt these procedures.
1. Before Servicing, turn off electrical power to boiler at service switch. Close manual gas valve to turn off gas supply to boiler.
2. Flue passages are examined by removing the blower assembly from the casting. Refer to the repair parts diagram for the boiler block and piping assembly at the end of this manual. The procedure for examining and cleaning the burner is described below. Any buildup of sediment or aluminum oxide (white powdery or flaky substance) in the flue passages must be cleaned as follows:
a. Remove jacket front and top panels.
b. Confirm that manual gas valve is closed and
disconnect gas line to gas valve at union.
c. Disconnect wires to gas valve and igniter.
d. Remove air inlet assembly from gas valve.
e. Loosen but do not remove five (5) nuts attaching
blower adapter assembly to boiler.
f. Remove two (2) igniter screws and very carefully
remove the igniter. Use care when removing the igniter, it is very brittle! Do not touch the igniter element with your fingers or hands as oil or debris will cause premature failure to the igniter.
g. Remove five (5) nuts and remove blower adapter
assembly. Remove burner and gaskets.
h. Aluminum oxide deposits are water soluble and may
be rinsed away with spraying or running water.
i. Use a flexible handle nylon brush to loosen sediment
and aluminum oxide on all heating surfaces of boiler. Refer to the repair parts diagrams. Be sure that you
do not get brush stuck in heat exhanger!
j. After brushing and rinsing, remove any remaining
loosened sediment using a shop vacuum with a snorkel attachment.
k. Inspect burner for any foreign matter in the flame ports
or inside the burner. Any foreign matter should be removed by blowing with compressed air or vacuuming.
l. Reinstall burner and gaskets and position blower
adapter assembly over studs. Install five (5) nuts but do not tighten. Reinstall igniter and igniter gasket and
fasten with two (2) screws. Use care when installing the igniter. It is very brittle! Do not touch the igniter element with your fingers or hands as oil or debris will cause premature failure to the igniter. Tighten five (5) nuts holding blower adapter assembly.
m. Connect:
(1.) gas line to gas valve (2.) air inlet assembly to gas valve using 2” x 1--1/2”
flexible coupling
(3.) pressure switch hose to gas valve and air inlet
assembly
(4.) 2 inch flexible coupling to boiler exhaust port (5.) igniter wires
(6.) gas valve wires
3. Visually inspect the condensate trap. Refer to repair parts diagrams. Any foreign material or debris that is visible in the condensate lines needs to be cleaned out as described below.
a. Remove 1/2” PVC cap from 1/2” PVC tee.
b. Inspect for sediment or blockage.
c. Flush out with water or vacuum.
d. Follow the instructions under “NEAR BOILER
PIPING” for filling condensate trap with water.
e. Replace 1/2” PVC cap.
4. Inspection of the flue connector requires the following steps (Refer to the repair parts diagram.)
a. Loosen the clamp on the draft inducer end of the 2
inch flexible coupling that connects the vent tee to the exhaust port.
b. Inspect interior of vent tee. Any buildup of sediment
on the inside surface must be cleaned.
c. Reconnect the 2 inch flexible coupling to the draft
inducer outlet.
STEP 7 Differential Air Pressure Switch Check
The following steps and diagram indicate the locations of the connection points required to check the differential air pressure.
The differential air pressure switch is a safety device which will prevent the boiler from firing if there is an air intake, boiler heat exchanger or vent blockage.
Turn off service switch, or lower thermostat setting.
Remove vinyl caps from tee. Install testing lines as shown to inclined manometer or differential pressure gauge with the ability to read 0.01” to 5.0” w.c.
Turn on service switch and set thermostat to call for heat. (See Fig. 20.)
If manometer readings do not correspond to the chart above, check for possible causes:
S Blockage or moisture in suction lines to switch. S Blockage in air intake or vent pipes. S Undersized air intake or vent pipes. S Loose blower wheel on motor shaft. S Incorrect pressure switch or pressure switch setpoint
When pressure reading is proper and the pressure switch is operating properly, remove testing lines and reinstall vinyl caps to Tee and 3--way connector.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The following procedures may expose you to dangerous line voltage. Use caution to avoid touching live electrical contacts. Service must be performed by a trained, experienced service technician.
What to do if you smell gas:
--Do not try to light any appliance
--Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building
--Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions
--If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas at a location external to the appliance.
Do not use the boiler if any part of the gas control system has been under water. A qualified service technician should inspect the boiler and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
