I Product Description

The BWF series boiler is a cast iron gas fired boiler designed for use in forced hot water heating systems. The BWF is
intended for installations where a usable chimney is not available. The BWF is normally vented using an approved vertical or
horizontal AL29-4C stainless steel venting system, which is not included with the boiler. If a suitable chimney is available, the
BWF series can be vented into it using an optional BWF Category I Vent Kit available from Crown. The BWF requires an
adequate source of clean combustion air in the boiler room.
The BWF boiler is not designed for use in gravity or “open” heating systems. Where an adequate source of clean indoor
combustion air cannot be guaranteed, use a direct vent boiler such as the Crown CSC series.

III Before Installing

1) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in strict accordance

with this manual and the authority having jurisdiction.

• In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual and the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

• In Canada, installation must be in accordance with CSA B149 (Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and

Equipment).

• Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, this installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and

Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ANSI/ASME CSD-1)

2) Read Section VI to verify that the boiler can be vented in accordance with these instructions.

3) Make sure that the boiler is correctly sized:

• For heating systems employing convection radiation (baseboard or radiators) use an industry accepted sizing method

such as the I=B=R Heat Loss Calculation Guide (Pub. #H21 or #H22) published by the Hydronics Institute in
Berkeley Heights, NJ.

• For new radiant heating systems refer to the radiant tubing manufacturer’s boiler sizing guidelines.

• For systems including a Crown Mega-Stor indirect water heater, size the boiler to have either the DOE Heating

Capacity required for the Mega-Stor or the net rating required for the heating system, whichever results in the larger
boiler.

• For systems that incorporate other indirect water heaters, refer to the indirect water heater manufacturer’s instructions

for boiler output requirements.

4) Make sure that the boiler received is configured for the correct gas (natural or LP).

5) For installations at altitudes above 2000ft, special orifice and pressure switches may be required. Make sure that the boiler

is configured for use at the correct altitude.

IV Locating the Boiler

1) Clearances:

• Observe the minimum clearances shown below. These clearances apply to all combustible construction, as well as non-

combustible walls and doors. Also see Figure 2.

Front – 6”
Left Side – 1”
Right Side – 4”
Rear – 1”
Top – 36”
Vent Pipe – 5”

• A 24” service clearance from the jacket is recommended on the left, right, and front of the boiler. These clearances may

be reduced to those shown in Figure 2, however servicing the boiler will become increasingly difficult as these service
clearances are reduced.

• If the right side 24” service clearance is reduced, adequate clearance must be maintained to easily read both the gauge and

the limit control. Alternatively, access to the gauge and limit may be provided using a door.

2) The boiler must be installed on a hard level surface. This surface may be combustible.

3

3) Do not install this boiler in an area where large amounts of airborne dust will be present, such as a workshop. Do not

install in a location where sources of hydrocarbons will be stored or used. Some common sources of hydrocarbons include
bleaches, fabric softeners, paints, cleaners, refrigerants, and cat boxes. Traces of these chemicals can be drawn into the
boiler, causing severe corrosion damage to the boiler and/or objectionable odors.

4) The boiler should be located so as to minimize the length of the vent system while still meeting the requirements in

Section VI.

5) Do not install this boiler over carpeting.

6) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad.

4

V Air for Combustion and Ventilation

Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for both combustion and ventilation. Provisions for combustion, ventilation, and
dilution air for gas utilization equipment must be made in accordance with local building codes, or in the absence of such
codes, in accordance with Sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 (“Air for Combustion and Ventilation”) of the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
To ensure an adequate combustion and ventilation air supply, start by determining whether the boiler is to be installed in a
building of unusually tight construction. A building of unusually tight construction is defined by the National Fuel Gas Code
as having all

• Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or

• Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors.

• Caulking and sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and

If the building is of unusually tight construction, see the instructions on page 6. Otherwise, follow the instructions below.

1) Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a confined space - A confined space is defined by the National Fuel Gas
Code as having a volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr input of all appliances installed in that space. To determine
whether the boiler room is a confined space:

a. Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr. Round the result to the next highest 1000

BTU/hr.

b. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is:

Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft)

In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are installed
between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consider the volume of the
adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open.

c. Divide the volume of the boiler room by the input in thousands of BTU/hr. If the result is less than 50, the boiler room is a

confined space

Example:

A BWF229 and a water heater are to be installed in a room measuring 6ft – 3 in x 7ft with an 8 ft ceiling. The water
heater has an input of 30000 BTU/hr:

Total input in thousands of BTU/hr = (229000 BTU/hr + 30000 BTU/hr) / 1000 = 259

Volume of room = 6.25 ft x 7 ft x 8 ft = 350 ft3

350/259 = 1.35 Since 1.35 is less than 50, the boiler room is a confined space.

If the boiler is in a confined space
The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12” of the ceiling and the bottom edge of the lower opening must be within
12” of the floor (Fig 3).

• Each opening must have a free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU/hr input of all gas burning appliances in the boiler

room. The minimum opening dimension is 3 inches. Minimum opening free area is 100 square inches per opening.

• If the total volume of both the boiler room and the room to which the openings connect is less than 50 cubic feet per

1000 BTU/hr of total appliance input, install a pair of identical openings into a third room. Connect additional rooms
with openings until the total volume of all rooms is at least 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr of input.

• The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens are

used, they must be no finer than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh.

• If providing openings into adjacent rooms is undesirable, combustion and ventilation air can be brought to the boiler

room from outdoors. See the instructions under “For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction”

– Provide two openings into the boiler room, one near the floor and one near the ceiling.

For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction

a) Openings must be installed between the boiler room and the outdoors or a ventilated space, such as an attic or crawl

space, which communicates directly with the outdoors.

b) Two openings are required. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling. The bottom

edge of the lower opening must be within 12 inches of the floor.

c) Size openings and ducts as follows:

• Vertical ducts or openings directly outdoors (Fig 4, Fig 5, Fig 6) – Each opening must have a free cross sectional area

of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU/hr of the total input of all gas-fired appliances in the boiler room. Minimum opening
size is 3 inches. Ducts must have the same cross sectional area as the openings to which they connect.

• Openings to outdoors via horizontal ducts (Fig 7) - Each opening must have a free cross sectional area of 1 square

inch per 2000 BTU/hr of the total input of all gas-fired appliances in the boiler room. Minimum opening size is 3
inches. Ducts must have the same cross sectional area as the openings to which they connect.

• The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens are

used, they must be no finer than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh.

VI Venting

There are three basic ways to vent the BWF boiler:

• Horizontal (“side wall”) venting using an approved AL29-4C stainless steel vent system.

• Vertical venting using an approved AL29-4C stainless steel vent system.

• Chimney venting using a masonry or “B” vent chimney and a special Category I Vent Kit available from Crown.

The following instructions describe the design and installation of Horizontal and Vertical Direct Exhaust (Category III)
systems only. Instructions for Chimney (Category I) venting are provided with the Crown Category I vent kit or are available
from Crown.

Horizontal Vent System Design

1) See Figure 8 for the general horizontal exhaust configuration. For the purposes of this manual, a “horizontal exhaust

system” is one that exits the structure through a wall.

2) Approved Systems – Use one of these four approved vent systems:

• Flex-L-International Star-34

• Z-FLEX SVE Series III (“Z-Vent II”)

• Heat Fab Saf-T Vent

• ProTech Systems FasNSeal

3) Vent Pipe Size:

• BWF061 to BWF162– 3”

• BWF-195, BWF-229 –3” or 4”

4) Maximum Vent Pipe Length:

• BWF061 to BWF162: 45 ft + (1) 90 degree elbow + terminal

• BWF195 to BWF229 (using 4” vent pipe): 45 ft + (1) 90 degree elbow + terminal

• BWF195 to BWF229 (using 3” vent pipe): 30 ft + (1) 90 degree elbow + terminal

• Reduce the maximum straight pipe run by the equivalent length from Table 4 for each additional

Example:

A vent system is planned for a BWF162 which has the following components:

2 ft vertical pipe
1 90 elbow
5 ft horizontal pipe
1 90 elbow
3 ft horizontal pipe
1 45 elbow
4 ft horizontal pipe
1 termination elbow

Since the boiler is a BWF162, all piping must be done in 3” pipe. The first 90 degree elbow and the termination
elbow are not considered. From Table 4, the equivalent length of the 3” 45 elbow is 4.5ft. The equivalent length of
the 3” 90 degree elbow is 5.5ft. The maximum allowable run of straight pipe on this system is therefore:

45ft – 4.5 ft –5.5ft = 35ft

Since the planned installation has only 14 ft of straight pipe, the planned vent system length is acceptable

5) Minimum Vent Pipe Length: 2 ft + (1) 90 degree elbow + terminal

6) Permitted Terminals:

• Choice of Tjernlund VH1 series terminal, a 90-degree elbow with rodent screen, or a termination tee with a rodent

screen. The Tjurnlund VH1 terminals may not be used on BWF195s and BWF 229s when they are vented with 3”
pipe. If the Tjurnlund terminal is used, select one of the following:

BWF061 to BWF162: Tjernlund VH1-3 (Crown #50-032) 3” terminal
BWF195, BWF229: Tjernlund VH1-4 (Crown #50-042) 4” terminal

• If an elbow or tee is used for the vent termination, it must be of the same type and manufacture as the rest of the vent

system.

• If a tee is used for the termination it must be installed with the run of the Tee vertical.

7) Wall thimbles – Wall thimbles are required where the vent pipe passes through combustible walls with less than a 5”

clearance. Use the appropriate wall thimble shown in Table 5.

8) Pitch of horizontal piping – A ¼” per foot pitch towards the outside is preferred. Alternatively, the horizontal piping may

be pitched ¼” per foot towards the boiler, however a condensate trap is required. See (9).

9) Condensate traps –In some horizontal installations, condensate traps may be needed to prevent condensate from running

into the boiler or collecting in the vent system. A condensate trap must be used if the horizontal piping does not have a
continuous slope to the outside. If this is the case, put a trap in the lowest section of horizontal piping (Fig 8b).

10) Use only a “horizontal” type condensate Tee (Fig 9).

11) Vertical and horizontal sections of piping must be properly supported. See the “Vent System Assembly” section of this

manual for more information.

11

I

12) Location of Horizontal Vent Terminal – Observe the following limitations on the terminal location:

• Terminal must be at least 4 feet below or 4 feet horizontally from any window, door, or gravity air inlet into the

building (Fig. 10).

• The bottom of the terminal must be at least 12” above the normal snow line. In no case should it be less than 12”

above grade level (Fig 10).

• The bottom of the terminal must be at least 7 feet above a public walkway.

• The bottom of the terminal must be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.

• A clearance of at least 4 feet horizontally or 4 feet vertically must be maintained between the terminal and gas meters,

electric meters, regulators, and relief equipment.

• Do not locate the terminal under decks or similar structures.

• Top of terminal must be at least 4 feet below eves, soffits, or overhangs. Overhang may not exceed 3 feet (Fig. 12).

Do not use the Tee terminal under an overhang deeper than 6”.

• Terminal must be at least 3 feet from an inside corner.

• Under certain conditions, water in the flue gas may condense on the structure in areas around the terminal. If these

areas are made of materials subject to damage by flue gas condensate, they should be protected.

• If possible, install the terminal on a wall away from the prevailing wind. Reliable operation of this boiler cannot be

guaranteed if the terminal is subjected to winds in excess of 40 mph.

• The noise level in the vicinity of the terminal is approximately 65 dB (roughly the level of a normal conversation).

Care should be taken when the terminal is positioned in areas where this might be objectionable, such as near
bedroom windows.

Vertical Vent System Design

1) See Figure 13 for the general vertical stainless steel venting configuration. For the purposes of this manual, a “vertical

exhaust system” is a Category III vent system that exits the structure through a roof.

2) Approved Systems – Use one of these four approved vent systems:

• Flex-L-International Star-34

• Z-FLEX SVE SeriesIII (“Z-Vent III”)

• Heat Fab Saf-T Vent

• ProTech Systems FasNSeal

4) Maximum Vent Pipe Length:

• BWF061 to BWF162 – 39.5 ft + (2) 90 degree elbows + cap

• BWF195, BWF229 (using 4” vent pipe): 37 ft + (2) 90 degree elbows + cap

• BWF195, BWF229 (using 3” vent pipe): 24.5 ft + (2) 90 degree elbows + cap

• Reduce the above maximum straight pipe runs by the equivalent length from Table 4 for each additional

elbow

beyond the first two.

Example:

A vertical vent system is planned for a BWF162 that has the following components:

2 ft vertical pipe
1 90 Elbow
1 condensate trap which has an is 18 inch long run
1 90 Elbow
1 ft vertical pipe
1 45 elbow
2 ft sloped pipe
1 45 elbow
7 ft vertical pipe
1 Cap

Since the boiler is a BWF162, all piping must be done in 3” pipe. The first two 90 elbows and the termination cap are
not considered. The condensate trap is treated as a straight length of pipe 1.5 feet in length. The result is 13.5 ft of
straight pipe and two 45 elbows. From Table 4, the equivalent length of the 45 elbow is 4.5ft. The maximum
allowable run of straight pipe on this system is therefore:

37.5 ft – 4.5 ft – 4.5 ft = 28.5ft

Since the planned installation has 13.5 ft of straight pipe, the planned vent length is within the maximum limit.

5) Minimum Vent Pipe Length - 6 ft + (2) 90 degree elbows + cap

6) Permitted Terminals – A cap must be used which is compatible with the rest of the vent system. See Table 6 for the

appropriate cap.

7) Condensate traps – A condensate trap is required on all vertical-venting systems. Install this trap as shown in Figure 13. If

there are additional sections of horizontal piping in the vent system, they must either be equipped with their own
condensate Tees or pitched so that condensate will run into the one required trap.

8) Use only a “horizontal” type condensate Tee (Fig. 9).

9) Pitch of horizontal piping – Pitch the lowest horizontal section of piping ¼” per foot towards the boiler. Other horizontal

sections (if any) must be pitched so that condensate will run towards a condensate Tee.

10) Fire-stops and wall thimbles – A wall thimble is required where the exhaust pipe passes through combustible walls with

less than a 5” clearance. Firestops are required where the vent passes through ceilings. These components must be
compatible with the rest of the exhaust system. Table 5 shows wall thimble model numbers for the approved vent systems.
Table 7 shows firestop model numbers for the approved vent systems.

15

11) Piping supports – Vertical and horizontal sections of piping must be properly supported. See the “Vent System Assembly”

section of this manual for more information.

12) Location of vent cap– The lowest discharge opening on the cap must be at least 2 feet above any object located within 10

feet (Fig. 14):

Removing an Existing Boiler From a Common Chimney

In some cases, when an existing boiler is removed from a common chimney, the common venting system may be too large
for the remaining appliances. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction,

leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

(c) Insofar as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which all the appliances

remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers
and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace
dampers.

(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so the appliance will

operate continuously.

(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or

candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

(f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when

tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliances to
their previous condition of use.

(g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system
should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

17

Vent System Assembly

1) General Assembly Notes:

a) Where the use of “silicone” is called for in the following instructions, use only the following sealants:

• Flex-L-International Star-34 – GE RTV106 or GE IS806

• Z-FLEX SVE Series III (“Z-Vent III”) – Silicone not required for joints between pipe sections.

• Heat Fab Saf-T Vent – GE RTV 106

• ProTech Systems FasNSeal - Silicone not required for joints between pipe sections.

• Use the same silicone used to seal vent pipe sections to seal the boiler vent collar and the Tjurnlund VH-1 terminal (if

used). For ProTech FasNSeal or Z-Flex Z-Vent III, use GE RTV 106 for the vent collar and Tjurnlund terminal.

b) Longitudinal welded seams should not be placed at the bottom of horizontal sections of vent pipe.
c) Do not drill holes in vent pipe.
d) Do not attempt to mix vent components of different vent system manufacturers.

2) Vent Collar Installation – The vent collar is shipped loose in the accessory bag along with two collar gaskets, the outlet

orifice, and four 10-32 mounting screws. The outlet orifice will be marked with either the boiler model number or a
Crown part number for the orifice. Verify that the number marked on the outlet exhaust orifice matches that of either the
boiler model number or the part number shown in the chart in Figure 15. Mount the collar and orifice as shown in Figure

15. If desired, the first piece of exhaust pipe can be connected to the collar before mounting the collar on the boiler.

3) Tjernlund VH-1 terminal Installation – If the Tjernlund VH-1 terminal is used, follow the instructions provided with the

terminal to mount it in the wall. This terminal may be installed in direct contact with combustible construction.

18

4) Assembly of Flex-L-Intl. Star-34 Vent System:

a) Star-34 General Notes:

• Do not cut Star-34 vent components.

• Support horizontal piping sections at intervals of 48” or less.

• Vertical venting systems must be supported by at least one Star-34 Firestop. An additional vertical support is required

after any offset.

• Orient Star-34 components so that the arrows on the piping labels are in the direction of flue gas flow.

b) Start assembly of the vent system at the boiler. Remove the hose clamp shipped on the BWF vent collar. Bend the three

hose clamp tabs on this collar outward slightly.

c) Clean the exterior of the male end of the first piece of pipe and the inside of the vent collar on the boiler. Use a cleaner

such as Methyl Ethyl Keytone (MEK) or naptha.

d) On the male end of the pipe, apply a ¼” wide bead of silicone approximately ¼” from the end of the pipe and another ¼”

bead against the joint side of the stop bead (Fig 17).

e) Insert the male end of the pipe into the boiler vent collar until it bottoms out.
f) Apply an additional bead of silicone over the outside of the joint and smooth out. Also apply silicone over the seams in

the vent collar (Fig 17).

h) Clean the female end of the first piece of pipe. Also clean the male end of the next piece of pipe.
i) Apply silicone as in step (d) (Fig 18).
j) Align the longitudinal seams of the pipe and insert the male end of the second pipe into the female end of the first pipe.
k) Insert a StaR joiner band into the inlet of the beaded channel. Feed the joiner band in so that it makes its way around the

channel and overlaps by approximately ½” (Fig 18).

l) Cut the excess joiner band so that it lays flat in the beaded channel (Fig 18).
m) Fill the inlet of the beaded channel with silicone. Smooth the silicone over the channel inlet as well as the silicone

between the female end and the stop bead of the male end (Fig 18).

n) Repeat Steps (h) – (m) for the remaining Star-34 components. If a termination elbow or tee is used, use this procedure to

complete the exhaust system.

o) To connect Star-34 to the VH-1 terminal, the vent system must be configured so that the female end of the last piece of

Star-34 will fit over the vent connection on the terminal. Before permanently making this joint, clean both the male end of
the terminal and the female end of the last piece of pipe with Methyl Ethyl Keytone or Naptha. Apply a ¼ inch bead of
silicone ¼” from the male end of the terminal. Also apply a ¼” bead of silicone along the weld seam on the inside of the
female section of the Star-34 pipe. Slip the female end of the vent pipe over the male end of the terminal until it is over at
least 1 ¼ inches of the terminal. Apply a second bead of silicone over the joint between the vent pipe and the terminal as
well as over the channel inlet. Do not attempt to use a locking band at this joint. Install a pipe support or other means to
prevent the Star-34 pipe from separating from the terminal.

p) Allow the silicone to cure for 24 hours before operating the boiler.

to prevent shifting of the vent system in and out of the wall.

m) To join SVE Series III to the VH-1 terminal, cut off the female end of the pipe that is to be joined to the terminal.

When making this cut, make sure that it will be possible to insert the cut end of the pipe at least one inch inside the
terminal. Remove any oil, grease, or moisture from the exterior of the SVE Series III pipe and the female end of the
terminal. On the male end of the pipe, apply a ¼” wide bead of high temperature silicone approximately ½ inch from
the male end of the pipe. Apply ¼” beads of silicone along both sides of the longitudinal seam (Fig. 19). Insert this
end of the pipe into the terminal connection with at least a 1” overlap. It may be necessary to crimp the end of the
vent pipe before it can be inserted into the terminal. Apply an additional bead of silicone over the outside of the joint.
Smooth out the excess silicone. Use one of the following Z-Flex locking bands to mechanically secure the vent pipe
to the terminal:

4” 2SVSLBF04

n) Allow the silicone to cure for 24 hours before operating the boiler.

21

6) Assembly of Heat Fab Saf-T Vent:

a) Saf-T Vent General Notes:

• In general, Saf-T Vent pipe sections may not be cut. Exceptions to this are the Saf-T vent slip connector and

connections to the boiler vent collar and the VH-1 terminal. In these cases, use a sharp pair of aviation snips, an
abrasive cut-off, or a plasma cutter. See the Saf-T Vent instructions for information on cutting the slip connector.

• Orient Saf-T Vent components so that the arrows on the piping labels are in the direction of flue gas flow.

the terminal. Apply a ¼” bead of silicone around the terminal connection about ¼” from the end. Slip the Saf-T Vent pipe
over the terminal and apply a second bead of silicone over the joint. Smooth the excess silicone over the joint, making
sure that there are no visible voids in the silicone. Install a pipe support or other means to prevent the Saf-T Vent pipe
from separating from the terminal.

p) Allow the silicone to cure for 24 hours before operating the boiler.

22

7) Assembly of Protech FasNSeal:

a) FasNSeal General Notes:

• Do not cut 4” FasNSeal pipe. The male end of 3” FasNSeal may be cut. Cut must be square to ensure a proper seal.

• Orient FasNSeal vent components so that the arrows on the piping labels are in the direction of flue gas flow.

• Support horizontal piping sections at intervals of 6 feet or less.

• Vertical venting systems must be supported by at least one FasNSeal support. An additional vertical support is

required after any offset.

b) Start assembly of the vent system at the boiler. Remove the hose clamp shipped on the BWF vent collar. Bend the three

hose clamp tabs on this collar outward slightly.

c) Clean the exterior of the male end of the first piece of pipe and the inside of the vent collar on the boiler. Remove dirt,

grease, and moisture from the surfaces to be sealed. Dry surfaces or allow to dry thoroughly.

of the pipe.

e) Insert the male end of the pipe into the boiler vent collar until it bottoms out.
f) Apply an additional bead of silicone over the outside of the joint and the seams on the vent collar and smooth out (Fig 23).
g) Replace and tighten the clamp on the vent collar.
h) All other joints in the FasNSeal venting system rely on a gasket in the female end of the pipe for a proper seal.

CAUTION

• MAKE SURE THAT GASKET IS IN POSITION AND UNDAMAGED IN THE FEMALE END OF THE PIPE.

• MAKE SURE THAT BOTH THE MALE AND FEMALE PIPES ARE FREE OF DAMAGE PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY.

• IF 3” PIPE IS CUT, CUT END MUST BE SQUARE AND CAREFULLY DEBURRED PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY.

k) Repeat Steps (i) and (j) for the remaining FasNSeal components. If a termination elbow or tee is used, use this procedure

to complete the exhaust system.

l) To join FasNSeal to a 3” VH-1 terminal, use a Protech FSA-M-3 “Modine Appliance Adapter” (Protech #300444). Apply

a ¼” bead of silicone to the terminal connection about ¼” from its end. Slip the female end of the adapter over the
terminal end so that there is an overlap of at least 1 ¾ inches. Tighten the hose clamp to mechanically lock the pipe onto
the terminal. Apply and smooth silicone over the outside of the joint including the hose clamp in the FasNSeal pipe.
Connect the female end of the venting system to the male end of the adapter per Steps (i) and (j) above.

23

m) To join FasNSeal to a 4” VH-1 terminal slip the female end of the FasNSeal pipe over the terminal connection so there is

an overlap of at least 1 ¾”. Tighten the hose clamp to mechanically lock the pipe onto the terminal. Apply and smooth
silicone over the outside of the joint including the hose clamp in the FasNSeal pipe.

b) All drain tubing must be acid resistant.
c) At least the first 6 inches of tubing must be silicone with a 400F temperature rating.
d) Pipe condensate to a drain or other suitable location. Make sure that condensate disposal method is in accordance with

local regulations. Ensure condensate is not subjected to freezing temperatures.

24

VII Gas Piping

Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver adequate gas for the boiler to fire at the nameplate input at a line pressure
between the minimum and maximum values shown on the rating plate. For more information on gas line sizing, consult the
utility or Part 2 of the National Fuel Gas Code.
Figure 26 shows typical gas piping connections to the BWF boiler. A sediment trap must be installed upstream of all gas
controls. Install a manual shutoff valve outside the jacket and ground joint union as shown.
The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler in operation. When doing this, the boiler and
its individual shut-off must be disconnected from the rest of the system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures
in excess of ½ psi. When pressure testing the gas system at pressures of ½ psi or less, isolate the boiler from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.

* State of Massachusetts Requires Manual
Shut-off to be “T” Handle Type

VIII System Piping

CAUTION

• INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE GAS IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED FROM WATER

(DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND SERVICE (CIRCULATOR
REPLACEMENT, ETC).

• OPERATION OF THIS BOILER WITH CONTINUOUS RETURN TEMPERATURES BELOW 120F CAN CAUSE

SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.

• OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM HAVING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN

CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.

• DO NOT USE TOXIC ADDITIVES, SUCH AS AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE, IN A HYDRONIC SYSTEM.

Standard Piping

Figure 27 shows typical boiler system connections on a single zone system. Additional information on hydronic system
design may be found in Installation of Residential Hydronic Systems (Pub. #200) published by the Hydronics Institute in
Berkely Heights, NJ. The components in this system and their purposes are as follows:

1) Relief valve (Required) – Mount the relief valve in the ¾ tapping on the right side of the boiler as shown in Figure 1 using

the ¾ nipples and elbow provided. The relief valve shipped with the boiler is set to open at 30 psi. This valve may be
replaced with one having a setting of up to the “Maximum Allowable Working Pressure” shown on the rating plate. If the
valve is replaced, the replacement must have a relief capacity in excess of the DOE heating capacity for the boiler.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve to a location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property
damage if the valve opens. The end of the discharge pipe must terminate in an unthreaded pipe. If the relief valve
discharge is not piped to a drain, it must terminate at least 6 inches above the floor. Do not run relief valve discharge
piping through an area that could be subjected to freezing temperatures. The termination of the relief valve discharge
piping must be in an area where it is not likely to become plugged by debris.

DANGER

• PIPE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION.

• DO NOT INSTALL A VALVE IN THE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE LINE.

• DO NOT INSTALL RELIEF VALVE IN ANY OTHER LOCATION THAN THAT SHOWN IN FIGURE 1.

• DO NOT PLUG RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE.

2) Circulator (Required) – Although the circulator is shipped on the boiler return, it can be installed on the boiler supply. If

the circulator is moved to the supply, it should be positioned just downstream of the expansion tank as shown in Figure

27.

3) Expansion Tank (Required) – If this boiler is replacing an existing boiler with no other changes in the system, the old

expansion tank can generally be reused. If the expansion tank must be replaced, consult the expansion tank
manufacturer’s literature for proper sizing.

4) Fill Valve (Required) – Either a manual or automatic fill valve may be used. The ideal location for the fill is at the

expansion tank.

5) Automatic Air Vent (Required) – At least one automatic air vent is required. Manual vents will usually be required in

other parts of the system to remove air during initial fill.

6) Low Water Cut-Off (Required in some situations) – A low water cut-off is required when the boiler is installed above

radiation. In addition, some codes such as ASME CSD-1 require low water cut-offs. Codes may also require that this low
water cut-off have a manual reset function. The low water cut-off may be a float type or probe type but must be designed
for use in a hot-water system. The low water cut-off should be piped into the boiler supply just above the boiler with no
intervening valve between it and the boiler.
Use a low water cut-off that breaks the 120 VAC supply to the boiler. Do not attempt to wire a 24- volt low water cut­off into the boiler factory wiring.

26

7) Manual Reset High Limit (Required by some codes) – This control is required by ASME CSD-1 and some other codes.

Install the high limit in the boiler supply piping just beyond the boiler with no intervening valves. Set manual reset high
limit as far above the operating limit setting as possible, but not over 240F. Wire the control to break the 120 VAC
electrical supply to the boiler.

8) Flow control valve (Required under some conditions) – The flow control valve prevents flow through the system unless

the circulator is operating. A flow control valve may be necessary on converted gravity systems to prevent gravity
circulation. Flow control valves are also used to prevent “ghost flows” in circulator zone systems through zones that are
not calling for heat.

9) Isolation Valves (Optional) – Isolation valves are useful if the boiler must be drained, as they will eliminate having to

drain and refill the entire system.

10) Drain Valve – The drain valve is shipped in the boiler parts bag. Install it in the ¾” opening in the tee on the boiler return

(Figure 1).

Piping for Special Situations

Certain types of heating systems have additional requirements. Some of the more common variations follow:

1) Indirect Water Heaters – Figure 28 shows typical indirect water heater piping. Boiler piping is the same as for any two-

zone system. Figure 28 shows circulator zoning, which is usually preferred for indirect water heaters. Size the circulator
and indirect water heater piping to obtain the boiler water flow through the indirect water heater called for by the indirect
water heater manufacturer.

27

2) Gravity and “Large Water Volume” Systems – The piping shown in Figure 29 will minimize the amount of time that the

boiler operates with return temperatures below 120F on these systems. A bypass is installed as shown to divert some
supply water directly into the return water. The bypass pipe should be the same size as the supply. The two throttling
valves shown are adjusted so that the return temperature rises above 120F during the first few minutes of operation. A
three-way valve can be substituted for the two throttling valves shown. If the circulator is mounted on the supply, the
bypass must be on the discharge side of the circulator.

3) Low Temperature Systems – Some systems, such as radiant tubing systems, require the system water temperature to be

limited to a value below the temperature of the water leaving the boiler. These systems also typically have return
temperatures well below the 120F minimum.
Figure 30 illustrates the use of a heat exchanger to connect a BWF boiler to this type of system. The heat exchanger will
permit the transfer of heat from the boiler water to the low temperature system while holding the system supply and boiler
return temperatures within their limits. For this system to work properly, the heat exchanger must be properly sized and
the correct flow rates are required on either side of the heat exchanger. Consult the heat exchanger manufacturer for sizing
information. The water in the boiler is completely isolated from the water in the system. This means that separate fill and
expansion tanks are required for the heating system loop.
There are several other ways to connect low temperature systems to the non-condensing boilers like the BWF such as
four way mixing valve and variable speed injection pumping systems.

4) Systems containing oxygen – Many hydronic systems contain enough dissolved oxygen to cause severe corrosion damage

to a cast iron boiler such as the BWF. Some examples include:

• Radiant systems that employ tubing without an oxygen barrier.

• Systems with routine additions of fresh water.

• Systems which are open to the atmosphere.

If the boiler is to be used in such a system, it must be separated from the oxygenated water being heated with a heat
exchanger as shown in Figure 30.
Consult the heat exchanger manufacturer for proper heat exchanger sizing as well as flow and temperature requirements.
All components on the oxygenated side of the heat exchanger, such as the pump and expansion tank, must be designed for
use in oxygenated water.

5) Piping with a Chiller – If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel as shown in

Figure 31. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.

28

6) Air Handlers – Where the boiler is connected to air handlers through which refrigerated air passes, use flow control valves

in the boiler piping or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during the cooling cycle.

29

IX Wiring

WARNING
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).

Single Zone Wiring

1) Line Voltage (120 VAC) Connections (Fig 32) – The line voltage connections are located in the junction box under the

R8285 fan center on the right side of the boiler.

• Black – Line voltage “hot”

• White – “Neutral” for boiler and circulators

• Green – Ground connection

2) The circulator is factory wired. If a different circulator is wired to the boiler, its full load current draw must not exceed

12A.

3) Connect the 24-volt thermostat to terminals “R” and “G” on the R8285 fan center. Set the heat anticipator to 0.34 Amps.

31

Wiring Variations

1) Multiple Circulator Zones – Figure 33 shows wiring for two or more circulator zones using Honeywell R845As. One

fewer R845A is used than the total number of circulator zones. A DPST Honeywell RA832A may be substituted in place
of the R845A using the “X” and “X” terminals in place of the “5” and “6” terminals on a R845A.
A call for heat from the “zone #1” thermostat causes the zone #1 circulator to start and the boiler to fire exactly as in a
single zone system (see “Sequence of Operation”). A call for heat from any other thermostat will energize the DPST relay
in that zone’s R845A. When this relay is energized, electrical continuity is created between terminals 3 and 4, energizing
the circulator for that zone. At the same time, electrical continuity is created between terminals 5 and 6 on the R845A,
creating a current path from terminal “R” to “Y” on the R8285 fan center in the BWF. Assuming that the supply water
temperature is below the high limit setting, the normal ignition sequence will be initiated. If this happens when there is no
call from the zone #1 thermostat, the relay on the R8285A will not be energized and the zone #1 circulator will remain
off.

2) Multiple Zones using Zone Valves – Figure 34 shows wiring for multiple zones using Honeywell V8043F zone valves.

This wiring diagram may be used for other 24-volt zone valves as long as they are equipped with end switches. Do not
attempt to use the transformer on the R8285 to power the zone valves; use a separate transformer. Up to five V8043Fs
may be powered by one 48VA transformer, such as the Honeywell AT87A.
A call for heat from a given thermostat will result in the application of 24 volts across the TH and TR terminals on the
corresponding zone valve, energizing the zone valve motor. The zone valve opens and the end switch contacts are then
made. The end switches are connected in parallel with each other and to the BWF “thermostat” connections so that any
zone valve that opens will also start the circulator and fire the boiler (assuming the high limit is not open). Zone valve
terminal TH/TR has no internal connection on the zone valve; it is merely a “binding post” used to connect two or more
wires.

32

33

BWF Control System – Sequence of Operation

(Refer to Figures 35 and 36 for BWF ladder and connection diagrams)

1) A call for heat from the thermostat energizes relay coil 1K (the relay on the R8285), causing contacts 1K1 and 1K2 to

make. Contact 1K1 starts the circulator. Contact 1K2 sends power to the high limit.

2) Assuming that the high limit is made, current will flow through the normally closed contacts on the pressure switch to

relay coil “2K” (the R8222 relay coil). Contacts 2K1 make, starting the combustion blower. Contacts 2K2 make, creating
a current path in parallel with the normally closed pressure switch contacts.

3) As the combustion fan comes up to full speed, the normally closed contacts on the vacuum switch break. Power remains

applied to the 2K coil, however, through the 2K2 contacts. Once the combustion fan has created an adequate vacuum at
the vacuum switch tapping, the normally open contacts on the pressure switch will make, sending power to the ignition
module via the normally closed flame rollout switch.

4) Upon application of voltage across the “24V” and “24V (GND)” terminals, the ignition module will enter a 30-second

pre-purge period. After 30 seconds has passed, the module will start an ignition spark at the pilot and apply 24 volts
across the pilot valve (terminals “PV” and “MV/PV”)

5) Once the pilot is established, the pilot flame will act as a diode, converting the AC current at the electrode to a half wave

DC current at the pilot’s ground strap. This DC current flows through the boiler to the “GND (BURNER)” connection on
the ignition module. For the ignition module to recognize that a pilot flame is present, the DC current flowing into this
terminal must be in excess of approximately 1.0 uA.

6) Once the ignition module detects the presence of a pilot flame, voltage is applied across the main valve (terminals “MV”

and “MV/PV”), opening the valve and establishing main flame.

7) If the ignition module does not detect the presence of a pilot flame after 90 seconds, the ignition spark will stop, the pilot

valve will close, and the ignition module will wait for approximately 5 minutes before restarting the ignition sequence.
During this time both the circulator and combustion fan will continue to run. If the pilot is never established, the ignition
sequence will continue to be restarted at 5-minute intervals.

8) Assuming that main flame is established, the boiler will fire until either the call for heat is satisfied or until the water

temperature exceeds the high limit setting. If the high limit setting is exceeded, relay coil 2K will be de-energized, turning
off the burners and combustion fan. The circulator will continue to run until the call for heat is satisfied, regardless of the
water temperature.

9) At the end of a burner cycle, the normally closed contacts on the vacuum switch should make after the fan is de-

energized. If this does not happen, there will be no current path to relay coil 2K upon the next call for heat and the boiler
will not fire.

10) The flame rollout switch is a normally closed thermal switch that is positioned at the burner compartment opening. In the

event that flames exit this opening, the flame rollout switch will open, de-energizing the ignition module and closing the
gas valve. Once opened, this switch must be replaced.

IX Start-up and Checkout

NOTE
SAFE LIGHTING AND OTHER PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WERE MET WITH THE GAS MANIFOLD AND
CONTROL ASSEMBLY PROVIDED ON THE BOILER WHEN THE BOILER UNDERWENT THE TESTS SPECIFIED
IN Z21.13

Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:

1) Make sure that the boiler and system are filled with water.

WARNING

• IF ANTIFREEZE IS USED IN THE SYSTEM, IT MUST BE A NONTOXIC TYPE SUCH AS PROPYLENE

GLYCOL.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO FILL A HOT EMPTY BOILER.

2) Check all new piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. See Part 4 of the National Fuel Gas Code

for additional information on testing and purging gas lines.

WARNING

• NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

• MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE BOILER IS CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

3) Vent system must be complete and free of obstructions before attempting to fire boiler. Make sure that the silicone cure

time called for in the vent assembly instructions has passed before firing boiler.

4) Inspect all line voltage wiring for loose or uninsulated connections.

5) Start the boiler using the lighting instructions on page 36.

The combustion chamber insulation panels in this boiler contain a cornstarch based binder which may emit a strong
odor as it is burned out of the insulation when the boiler is fired for the first time. An hour or more of continuous
firing may be required to burn off all of this binder. Open any windows and outside doors in the boiler room to
maximize ventilation while this binder is burned out.

6) Inspect the pilot and main flames. These flames should be stable and mostly blue (Fig. 37, 38). No yellow tipping should

be present; however, intermittent flecks of yellow and orange in the flames are normal.

7) Check the manifold pressure and adjust if necessary. To do this, use the following procedure.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE EXACTLY COULD RESULT IN OVERFIRING OF THE
BOILER AND A CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.

a) Connect a manometer to the line pressure tap on the gas valve
b) Check the line pressure with all gas appliances on and off. The line pressure at the boiler must be within the following

limits regardless of what combination of appliances is firing:

Line Press (inches w.c.) Natural Gas LP Gas
Min. 5.0 11.0
Max. 14.0 13.0

X Service and Maintenance

The following routine maintenance should be performed on an annual basis:

1) Turn off power to the boiler.

2) Inspect the flue passages for signs of blockage. If there is any carbon in the combustion chamber or the flue passages,

clean the heat exchanger before proceeding further. See the cleaning procedure below.

3) Remove any debris found in the combustion chamber, being careful not to disturb combustion chamber insulation.

4) Remove all burners, noting the location of the pilot main burner. If burners show signs of deterioration, they should be

replaced (some discoloration around the burner ports is normal). Clean the burners by first brushing the ports with a soft
bristle brush and then vacuuming out any debris through the venturi opening.

5) Inspect the pilot assembly. Clean any deposits found on the electrode and grounding strap. The ideal gap between the

electrode and the ground strap is 1/8”. Inspect the porcelain for cracks or other deterioration. Replace pilot assembly if
deterioration is found.

6) Inspect the combustion chamber insulation for deterioration.

7) Inspect the ignition cable insulation for cracks or other deterioration. If deterioration is found, replace cable.

8) Reinstall burners, being careful to put the pilot main burner in its original location.

9) Inspect all boiler wiring for loose connections or deterioration.

CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE
IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.

10) Inspect the vacuum switch hose for deterioration. Clean out any condensate or other blockage found in this tube.

11) Disconnect the vent system from the boiler using the four 10-32 screws in the vent collar. Inspect the blower wheel and

fan housing for corrosion damage. If damage is found, replace the fan assembly.

12) Inspect the vent system:

a) Make sure that the vent terminal is free of obstructions.
b) Make sure that all vent system supports are intact.
c) Inspect joints for signs of condensate or flue gas leakage.
d) If the vent system contains a condensate trap, make sure that the trap is in good condition and clear of blockages.
e) If this boiler is equipped with the optional Category I Vent Kit, refer to the vent kit instructions for additional

maintenance information.

13) Inspect the boiler and hydronic system for leaks.

CAUTION

WATER LEAKS CAN CAUSE SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGE TO THE BOILER OR OTHER SYSTEM
COMPONENTS. REPAIR ANY LEAKS FOUND IMMEDIATELY.

14) Place the boiler back in operation using the procedure outlined in “Start-up”. Check the pilot line and any other gas piping

disturbed during the inspection process for leaks.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning Procedure

1) Turn off power to the boiler.

2) Disconnect the vent system from the boiler by removing the four 10-32 screws holding the vent collar in place.

3) Remove the top jacket panel. If possible, remove the rear and left side jacket panels.

4) Unplug the fan and remove the fan cover plate.

5) Disconnect the pressure switch hose.

6) Remove the burners.

7) Remove the two ¼-20 nuts and washers holding the flue collector onto the heat exchanger.

8) Score the silicone seal around the flue collector with a utility knife or similar tool.

9) Pry the flue collector off of the heat exchanger, being careful not to damage the flue collector or fan.

10) Clean the flue passageways using a stiff bristle brush. Be certain that all foreign material is removed from the gaps

between the pins.

40

11) Clean the bottom surfaces of the heat exchanger.

A

12) Put a light in the combustion chamber and look through the flue passages from the top to verify that they have been

thoroughly cleaned.

13) Apply a heavy (1/4”) bead of RTV-732 silicone sealant with a 500F intermittent duty temperature rating around the

perimeter of the heat exchanger.

14) Set the flue collector onto the block and press down so that the flue collector is set into the silicone applied in the previous

step.

15) Replace the ¼-20 nuts and washers that hold down the flue collector.

16) Apply a bead of silicone around the outside of the joint between the heat exchanger and the flue collector.

17) Reattach all the jacket components except for the fan cover plate.

18) Install the fan cover plate.

19) Plug in the fan and reconnect the vacuum switch tube.

20) Reconnect the vent system.

WARNING

SOOT DEPOSITS IN THE FLUE PASSAGES ARE A SIGN THAT THE BOILER MAY BE OPERATING AT HIGH
CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS. AFTER CLEANING THE BOILER OF SOOT DEPOSITS, CHECK BOTH CO AND
CO2 LEVELS IN THE VENT BEFORE LEAVING THE BOILER IN OPERATION. CO AND CO2 READINGS SHOULD
BE BELOW THE MAXIMUM LIMITS SHOWN IN TABLE 8.

Service Notes

1) Measuring CO and CO2 – If it is necessary to check CO or CO2, the best place to take a gas sample will usually be at the

vent terminal. Table 8 shows typical and maximum readings for CO and CO2 on both natural and LP gas. Do not leave
the boiler in operation if either the CO or CO2 exceeds the maximum limit in this table. Some causes of excessive CO or
CO2 include:

• Incorrectly sized or drilled burner orifice

• Partially plugged flue passages

• Improper manifold pressure

• Partial blockage of vent system

• Foreign material in burner venturis or burner ports

• Distorted burner ports

• Distorted burner venturi bracket

• Damaged fan impeller or housing

• Damaged or missing fan gasket

• Leak in seal between flue collector and heat exchanger

• Inadequate supply of combustion air

• Damaged base

2) Orifice Size

representative for correct orifice sizes for use at altitudes above 2000 ft. Orifice for this boiler cannot be drilled in the
field.

– Refer to the parts list in the back of this manual for sea level orifice sizes. Consult your Crown

3) Vacuum Switch

combustion fan does not operate properly or there is a blockage in the vent system. This switch “makes” (permits
burner operation) as the vacuum increases. Figure 40 shows the correct method of reading the switch vacuum. The
vacuums in Table 9 are the minimums required for reliable operation. After the boiler fires, the vacuum will drop for
several minutes before stabilizing. The vacuum shown under “Burners On” in Table 9 is the minimum reading which
should be observed after the vacuum has stabilized. The Table 9 readings correspond to sea level vacuum switch
settings. Consult your Crown representative for possible variations in settings at altitudes over 2000ft.

– This boiler is equipped with a vacuum switch that is designed to prevent burner operation if the

XII Troubleshooting

The following three pages contain troubleshooting charts for use in diagnosing control problems. To use these charts, go
to the box marked “Start” at the top of the next page and follow the appropriate path though the chart until a box with a
list of possible causes is reached. If the problem is known to be within the ignition system, go directly to the Intermittent
Ignition Troubleshooting guide on page 46. In using these charts, the following should be kept in mind:

1) These charts are only meant to be used by a professional heating technician as an aid in diagnosing control problems.

2) Where applicable, follow all precautions outlined in the lighting instructions on page 37.

3) In general, these charts assume that there are no loose or miswired electrical connections. Before using these charts,
inspect all electrical connections on the boiler to make sure that they are tight. Also, check the wiring on the boiler against
the wiring diagram in Figure 36.

4) The possible causes at the end of each branch in these charts are not
BWF are tested at least once in the manufacturing process and a defective control or component is generally the least
likely cause. Before replacing a component, try to rule out all other possible causes.

5) If the charts indicate that the transformer in the R8285 is defective, it is possible that this transformer has been
destroyed by a short circuit in the boiler wiring. Before replacing the R8285, carefully inspect all low voltage wiring on
the boiler for places where it is touching the frame of the boiler or wiring on the other side of the transformer.

6) If the charts indicate that the relay on the R8285 or the R8222 relay is defective, inspect the coil of the relay for visible
heat damage. If such damage is found, there is a good chance that a second transformer is present in the thermostat or
zone valve circuit, resulting in the application of 48 volts across the relay coil. In older buildings, this transformer may be
hidden in a location far from the boiler. If this second transformer exists, it must be found and removed before the relay is
replaced.
