All Series 24 cast iron boilers are designed, built, marked and tested in accordance with the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
, Section IV
, Heating Boilers
. An ASME Data Label is
factory applied to each Series 24 jacket, which indicates the boiler Maximum Allowable Working
Pressure (MAWP). Each cast iron section is permanently marked with the MAWP listed on the
boiler's ASME Data Label. Those values for the Series 24 are as follows:
MAWP, Steam - 1
5 psi
M
AWP, Water (USA) - 80 psi
M
AWP, Water (Canada) - 45 psi
I
t is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below
the boiler MAWP. Therefore, Crown offers safety relief valves set at or below the MAWP of the
boiler. See page 9 for standard safety relief valve set pressures.

D. CHIMNEY OR VENT
The Series 24 boiler is designed for forced draft firing
and may be used with a conventional natural draft
stack (15’ minimum height) or a stub vent, sometimes
called a diesel stack (see Figure 3a). See Table I for
the proper vent outlet size. For low silhouette vent
terminations, see Figure 3b. Draft controls are not
normally required, although they may be used on
installations where a natural draft stack is used or on
multiple boiler installations with a common stack. The
boiler is provided with a breeching damper, which
should be adjusted to maintain a positive pressure of
0.1” W.C. in the vent connector box during burner high
fire operation (see breeching pressure sensing port in
Figure 1).
If the venting system is designed for positive or forced
draft venting, the boiler, vent connector and stack will
operate under positive pressure. Gas tight vent systems
designed for pressure systems must be used to prevent
flue by-product leakage. The vent height is usually
limited to prevent negative draft, typically three (3)
feet above the roof line (see Figure 3a). The damper
shall be adjusted to maintain a positive pressure of 0.1”
W.C. in the vent connector box during burner high fire
operation (see breeching pressure sensing port in Figure
1).
If the venting system is designed for negative pressure
(natural draft), the boiler still operates with positive
pressure in the chamber and up to the fixed damper on
the flue collar. However, if the venting system is larger
than what is required, the stack will provide a surplus
draft (or negative pressure) that may require the use of
a barometric damper to maintain the positive 0.1” W.C.
pressure at the flue outlet. Multiple forced draft boiler
stacks should always be designed as negative to ensure
the products of combustion do not exit a boiler that is
not firing.

SECTION II - CAST IRON BLOCK ASSEMBLY
A. FIELD ASSEMBLED SECTIONS — If the boiler
was ordered to be field assembled, follow the assembly
procedure outlined on the following pages.
1. ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (MANUAL DRAWUP)
These sections are designed to be drawn together,
one section at a time, using the 9¾” long draw-up
rods (provided) and ordinary hand tools.
Tools required:
(1) ¾” Drive Ratchet
(1) 1-1/16” Socket
(1) 1-1/16” Combination or Open End Wrench
(1) Container of grease, oil or other appropriate
lubricant.
ENSURE THAT THE ADHESIVE DOES
NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE
NIPPLES OR NIPPLE PORTS.
e. Clean nipples and nipple ports thoroughly with
a de-greasing solvent. Use the Loctite #592
supplied to lubricate the nipples and nipple
ports. Apply the lubricant to the nipples and
nipple ports, then use a brush to disperse it
evenly around the nipples and the nipple ports.
Use approximately 25 ml of Loctite #592 per
flueway [(1) 7” and (2) 3” nipples and their (6)
corresponding nipple ports].
f. Drive nipples squarely into section using
block of wood and hammer, or preferably,
an aluminum head hammer. (Crown offers a
Polyethylene Block for setting the nipples, part
number 330010). Place block over entire nipple
edge and hit the wood with the hammer.
a. Place the rear section in its approximate final
position, as outlined in Section I, and support it
with a suitable prop and wedges. See Figure 5.
b. On size 24-03 only— Open target wall carton,
apply Silastic to back of target wall and secure
target wall to rear section.
c. Clean the groove in the ground joint along the
edge of the section with the wire brush.
d. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s) and remove
the bottle of adhesive. Using the dauber supplied
in the bottle, apply the adhesive to the groove.
Be sure to use enough adhesive to sufficiently
coat the entire groove surface. If so desired,
a multi-purpose spray adhesive (supplied by
others) may be used instead. HOWEVER,
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO

the nipples. Gauge nipple in both directions to
insure that it is driven to the proper depth into
the nipple opening (nipple port). Cut-out in
gauge must rest on nipple, with legs of gauge
touching finished face of section, when nipple is
properly driven. See Figure 6.
h. Remove a 96” length of fiberglass rope from the
assembly carton. Starting with the area around
the upper 7” nipple port, firmly press the rope
into the groove, so that the adhesive holds it in
place. (If more than 25 minutes have passed
since the adhesive was applied, it may be
necessary to reapply.) Continue to affix the
rope to the groove in this fashion around the
perimeter of the section. Make sure that the rope
does not droop or hang outside of the groove.
When the end of the groove is reached, cut off
the excess rope. Push the length of excess rope
into the groove at the top corner of the section
face (opposite of the 7” nipple port.) Cut off and
discard any remaining rope after groove is filled.
See Figure 7.

Figure 8: Series 24 Section Arrangement
i. From the “Section Arrangement” chart, select
the next section according to the “Identification
Code” at the top of the chart. See Figure 8. Use
a wire brush to clean the groove in the face of
the next section. Then, using a cartridge of RTV
6500 or RTV 736 sealant in a caulking gun, fill
the groove in this section with silastic sealant.
Touch-up any missed spots before draw-up.
T
ouch-up after draw-up has no value.
j. Clean and lubricate nipple ports on next section
to be assembled and place on nipples previously
installed in rear section. To facilitate assembly,
it is advisable to enter the upper nipple first in
its port. Then enter the lower nipples in their
respective ports. If necessary, place a lifting bar

(crowbar) under the center of the section and lift
the nipple port onto the upper nipple.
k. Drive section in place with a heavy block of
wood, striking blows as squarely as possible over

m. DRAW UP SECTION SLOWLY AND
ge draw-up rod lugs with dual holes
are cast in the four (4) corners of each casting.
Starting with the upper holes, install four
(4) 5/8” x 9¾” long draw-up rods along with
washers and nuts (see Figure 9).
EVENLY using an alternating pattern starting
with the upper right lug and proceeding to the
lower left , lower right and finishing with upper

adjoining sections should be approximately
3/8” apart. Use three (3) or four (4) passes at
tightening the four (4) draw-up rods a little at
a time so that sections are pulled up evenly.
During the last pass, pay close attention to the
silastic sealant as it squeezes when the sections
come in close contact. The silastic sealant will
continue to squeeze out wafer thin until the
sections are connected metal to metal. While
tightening the nuts, close attention should be
given to the connection area to determine that
the silastic has stopped squeezing out from
between the sections. This will give assurance
that the sections are assembled metal to metal. If
the silastic has stopped squeezing out from the
connection and the sections still do not appear
to be drawn metal to metal, measure any gaps
between the sections with a feeler gauge. A
maximum gap of .025” is acceptable. Gaps
should be measured at the outer edge of the
connection. DO NOT PUNCTURE THE
GASKET CREATED BY THE FIBERGLASS
ROPE AND SILASTIC
SEALANT WITH THE FEELER GAUGE.
KEEP NIPPLES ALIGNED WITH NIPPLE
PORTS. If necessary, tap edge of nipples lightly
with a blunt tool or rod to keep nipples from
cocking while sections are being drawn-up. DO
NOT DRAW UP SECTION WHEN NIPPLES
ARE COCKED. If the torque required becomes
excessive, periodically place a heavy block of
wood over
as possible with several blows to relieve tension
on the draw-up rods.
n. CONTINUE ASSEMBLING SECTIONS IN
THEIR RESPECTIVE ORDER alternating
the draw-up rods from the upper to lower set
of holes in draw-up lugs. Be certain that all
sections are drawn up IRON-TO-IRON at all
three (3) nipple ports.
BE SURE TO APPLY THE SEALANT to
the groove in the ground joints between
adjacent sections as the boiler operates with a
positive pressure in the firebox and products of
combustion will escape between sections unless
the sections are properly sealed. The sealant
should be applied before each section is placed
on the assembly.
o. If a joint springs apart it must be redrawn tight
within four (4) hours of the time of application of
Silastic to that joint.
2. ASSEMBL
UP)
The entire boiler assembly may be drawn up at one
time using hydraulic draw-up equipment providing
the operation is completed within four (4) hours after
application of the sealant.
a. Repeat steps 1a through 1k under “Field
Assembled Sections (Manual Draw-Up).”
b. Continue driving sections in place (in their
respective order) until all sections are in the
assembly. Ground surfaces between adjoining
sections should be spaced 1/4” to 3/8” apart.
Spacing of more than 3/8” will limit number of
sections that can be drawn up in one unit and
could indicate cocked nipples.
On long boiler assemblies, it may be necessary to
draw-up a partial block if the entire boiler is not
ready to be drawn-up tight within four (4) hours
of the first application of Silastic. If the block
assembly time extends overnight, the partial block
completed must be drawn-up tight before leaving
the boiler overnight. If a joint springs out, it must
be redrawn tight within four (4) hours of first
application of Silastic to the joint.

c. Insert the three (3) ¾” draw-up rods (and
couplings, if appropriate) through the tapped holes
in the rear section extending them through the

1. HOT WATER HEATING - This boiler must be
installed in strict accordance to the instructions
found in this installation manual. Deviations
from these installation instructions may void
manufacturer’s warranty. See warning below
to determine the use of the RTC. A Return
Temperature Control (RTC) may be provided to
protect the boiler from thermal shock and sustained
condensing operation. In addition, a properly
selected boiler circulator and diverting valve, along
with the return sensor, must be installed when using
the RTC. A number of typical Crown applications
have been added to the appendix (Appendix A).
Select the appropriate application before proceeding.
a. Parallel Piping Systems – An existing parallel
piping system may be used, provided the return
water is not below 135°F for prolonged periods
of time, and the return water temperature is
not more than 40°F less than the idle boiler
temperature (see warning below). A flow
analysis should be performed to determine the
flow through the boiler when the minimum (and
smallest) and maximum number of zones are
activated. A sufficient flow through the boiler
should be maintained to assure a maximum of
40°F difference between the boiler supply and
return.
If the conditions above cannot be met, then
parallel piping systems must be converted to a
primary/secondary arrangement, de-coupling
the system pump from the boiler loop. The
system pump cannot influence the flow through
the boiler(s) in a primary/secondary piping
arrangement. The concept must be for the boiler
loop to inject heat into a primary loop, provided
the return water into the boiler is at least 135°F.
A by-pass containing two closely spaced tees
must be installed to de-couple the boiler loop
from the primary loop (see Figure 30). Care
must be taken to avoid dead heading the
system pump. Conversions should be reviewed
and approved by a Consulting Engineer or
other qualified professional to avoid system
deficiencies.
Primary/Secondary Piping – Boiler(s) must
b.
be installed into a heating system that is
(are) designed as a primary/secondary piping
arrangement when the flow through the boiler
cannot be maintained to provide a 20°F - 40°F
difference between the boiler supply and
return. When using an RTC, the boiler loop
contains a boiler, boiler circulator and diverting
valve, along with the return temperature control
(RTC) and return sensor. The diverting valve
consists of a 3-way valve, positioned through
the use of an electronic actuator. The boiler loop
injects heat into the primary loop, provided the
temperature of the boiler return water is greater
than 135°F. If the temperature is below 135°F,
the diverting valve closes, recirculating the
boiler water until it has heated above the 135°F
minimum limit. The supply and return of the
boiler loop is connected to the primary loop
through the use of two closely spaced “Tees”, at
a maximum branch centerline distance of 4 times
the primary loop diameter (4 x D Max.) The
RTC provides a signal to the actuator based on
the absolute water temperature and the rate of
change in water temperature.
c. Multiple Boilers – Multiple boilers are installed
the same as single boiler installations. Each
boiler loop will contain it’s own boiler circulator,
diverting valve, RTC and return sensor (see
Appendix A). Commonly available sequencers
can be used in conjunction with the Return
Temperature Control by energizing the control’s
heat demand circuit. The outdoor reset feature
of the sequencer must be used in multiple
boiler installations. The outdoor reset feature

WARNING
If the boiler circ ulator y ou have selected is
greater than 1/3 H P, an isolation re lay must
be a dded w h en usin g the RTC.
If a 3-pha se boiler circulato r has been

must b e installe d w hen using th e R T C .

alve, Where System Return may be Less than
135°F.
Figure 30: Parallel Piping Conversion
of the RTC cannot be used on multiple boiler
installations.
d. Boiler Circulator – The boiler circulator selection
will maintain a constant and minimum flow
through the boiler during every heat demand.
In addition, the circulator will maintain a flow
around the return sensor. The circulator must
be properly selected, based on the design
temperature between the boiler supply and
boiler return. Appendix B lists the appropriate
pumps for both 20 ºF and 40 ºF applications. A
boiler circulator must be used with and without
an RTC System for a primary/secondary piping
arrangement.
e. Diverting Valve – A diverting 3-way valve must
be part of the boiler loop for boiler protection to
be active when using the RTC. Only a Crown
approved valve and actuator may be used for
boiler protection. The valve sizing does change
based on the designed boiler ∆T, since the flow
rate and the pressure drop change for each. See
Appendix B for proper valve selection.
f. Glycol Antifreeze Solutions - Many systems
today use ethylene or propylene glycol antifreeze
solutions as a measure for freeze protection, as
well as a pump lubricator and corrosion inhibitor.
The properties of the glycol mixture have an
impact on valve and pump sizing. All glycol
solutions have a lower specific heat than water.
This means that the glycol solution cannot
transfer heat as well as pure water, resulting in
the need for higher flow rates. In addition, the
viscosity of the glycol solution is usually higher
than water, requiring a higher pump head for the
same given flow. Consult factory for specific
applications, pump selection and flow rate.
g. Nipple and Sensor - The 3 x 12 special nipple
must be installed in the lower right return
connection when looking at the rear section,
when using the RTC. Insert the return sensor
using pipe dope.

L. BOILER PIPING, DOMESTIC HOT WATER
NOTICE
DO NOT use the boiler circu lator as a n
indirec t domestic hot w ater sys tem
circula tor.
(DHW) APPLICATION – This section of the manual
identifies the boiler piping details when domestic hot
water is required. The two methods described for
domestic hot water production are through the use of
an indirect hot water heater or tankless coils. If a shell
and tube or plate heat exchanger is desired, follow
the instructions for the indirect water heater. Always
consult the heat exchanger manufacturer for specific
instructions and limitations.
1. Hot Water Boiler/Indirect Water Heater – The use
of indirect water heaters for domestic hot water
generation is common. Consider prioritizing the
generation of domestic hot water using an indirect
water heater (See notice below).
a. Dedicated Boiler for DHW Production – If the
boiler(s) is (are) dedicated to production of
domestic hot water production, the diverting
valve is not necessary. (see Appendix A.11 for
details) However, the RTC should be used,
along with a boiler circulation loop that includes
a boiler circulator and return sensor. The boiler
circulator and piping must be sized to circulate
at a minimum, the flow rate required for a 40 ºF
∆T application. See Appendix B for circulator
details. The circulator for the domestic hot water
system is separate from the boiler circulator.
b. Shared Boiler for DHW Production – If the
boiler(s) is(are) shared between the heating
system and the production of domestic hot
water, the diverting valve and all of the RTC
components should be used. The piping
arrangement is different between a system
that utilizes the outdoor reset feature vs. one
that doesn’t. See Appendix A for various
applications. If the outdoor reset feature of
the RTC is used, the domestic hot water piping
is part of the boiler loop, independent of the
diverting valve. Although this bypasses the
protection devices of the RTC system, the
volume and temperature conditions of a DHW
system presents no deleterious impact on
the boiler. This prevents a reset system loop
temperature from affecting DHW production.
Multiple boiler applications, utilizing an indirect
water heater arrangement, require the use of
a sequencer and connection to the indirect
water heater as a load on the secondary loop.
An outdoor reset function for multiple boiler
applications with DHW, require a DHW priority
or reset override. Consult your sequencer
manufacturer for recommendations.
2. Hot Water Boiler/Tankless Coil – Tankless coils,
mounted into the side of boilers, have been
used successfully for many years. Tankless
coils may still be used in single and multiple
boiler applications. (See Appendix A for typical
applications.)
38
Page 39
NOTES:
1. All piping is schedule 40.
2. To prevent condensate from being trapped in header, do not reduce
equalizer elbow at header connection.
3. Ball valve preferable, gate valve acceptable alternative
(supplied by others).
• Minimum valve size per ASME code is 3/4” NPT 24-03/24-04;
1” NPT 24-05/24-08; 1-1/4” NPT 24-09/24-12.
• Increasing the valve size will improve the blowdown operation.
• In all cases, piping connecting blowoff valve to boiler shall be full
size to the point of discharge.
4. Header piping may be run over top of the boiler if space does not
allow for piping arrangement shown. Increased service
requirements will result however.
5. Supply from the boiler header must be connected between the first
boiler riser and the header drip (or Hartford Loop). Do not connect
supply between risers or opposite end of boiler header.

M.CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING as
shown in Figure 38. See Table IV for Tankless Heater
Ratings.
1. Install Flow Regulator
If flow 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 FLOW
REGULATOR matching the heater rating should be
installed in the cold water line to the heater. Refer
to Figure 36 for piping recommendations. Locate
the flow regulator below the inlet (cold water side)
of the heater and a minimum of 36” away from the
inlet so that the regulator is not subjected to excess
temperatures during “off” periods when it is possible
for heat to be conducted back through the supply
line. The flow regulator will limit the flow of supply
water regardless of inlet pressure variations ranging
from 20 to 125 psi.
2. Install Water Temperature Mixing Valve
Refer to Figure 38 for piping recommendations.
Adjust and maintain the mixing valve in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation of a mixing valve will also lengthen the
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some
cold water with the hot. In addition, savings of hot
water will be achieved since the user will not waste
as much hot water while seeking desired 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. An electric hot water
booster can also be used.
The mixing valve should
be “trapped” by installing it below the cold water
inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the valve.
3. Flushing of Heater
All water contains some sediment which settles
on the inside of the coil. Consequently, the heater
should be periodically backwashed. This is
accomplished by installing hose bibs as illustrated
in Figure 38 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 beneficial to the tankless heater but
to piping and fixtures plus the many other benefits
derived from soft water.

O. RETURN TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND
COMPONENTS
1. Valve Actuator – The valve actuator is mounted to
the top of the diverting valve. Mount and connect
the actuator as illustrated in Appendix C. The
electrical connections depend on valve orientation.
Use Figures 39a and 39b as a guide.
2. Return Sensor – A sensor has been included with
the Return Temperature Control. The sensor must
be mounted for proper operation. The sensor is
mounted in the 3 inch NPT x 12 inch special return
nipple. The sensor must be inserted into the ¼ NPT
connection using pipe dope. The 3” nipple must be
inserted with the sensor closest to the boiler, using
the rear lower right connection. (Orientation based
on viewing the boiler from the rear.) The sensor
shall be connected to the RTC through a junction
box located above the nipple. Use grommets and
conduit to protect the leads and connection back to
the RTC controller
3. Knock Down Boiler Installations – The installation
instructions above must be followed for all
knockdown boilers as well. The controller is
mounted on the front jacket panel at the top right.
See Figures 41 and 42 for general component
.

be attached to the jacket first using four (4) #8 x ¾”
drill point sheet metal screws.
One may find it easier to install some of the conduit
connectors with their corresponding conduit runs onto
the RTC back panel before mounting to the bracket.
The actual controller can and should be removed from
the back panel during the mounting process. This
will eliminate the potential for accidental damage to
the controller.

head screws supplied with the controller. The middle
3 rear knockouts should be used before utilizing the 5
knockouts exiting the bottom of the control. Depending
on the final configuration, most of the controller
connections could be used. Typically, the return sensor,
actuator control and boiler pump exit the rear of the
controller.
Wire the RTC controller to the various components
as shown below. The “Mix” and “Outdoor” sensor
are optional and must be connected if outdoor reset
function is desired. The outdoor reset function on
this controller cannot be used in a multiple boiler
application. A boiler sequencer must be used when an
outdoor reset feature is required in a multiple boiler
application.

D. ADJUST BURNER according to the Burner Manual.
1. FLAME FAILURE
The Series 24 boiler controls operate the burner
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner
ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary
control is tripped, the burner has experienced
ignition failure. Before pressing the reset button,
call your serviceman immediately.
E. RETURN TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Initial
Set-Up and Operation – The return temperature
control (RTC) is an important part of the overall boiler
system. The primary function of the RTC is to protect
the boiler from thermal shock and sustained flue gas
condensation. The RTC monitors the temperature of
the water returning into the boiler through a return
sensor. The RTC controls the 3-way diverting valve
mounted on the supply of the boiler to prevent return
water less than 135º F from entering the boiler. The
boiler circulator provides constant and minimum flow
through the boiler during every heat demand. Prior
to the start of any boiler cycle, the diverting valve is
closed to a full by-pass condition, forcing 100% boiler
water re-circulation. The diverting valve opens and
will continue to open provided the return sensor is
satisfied. Conversely, large temperature drops will
close the diverting valve to a position as to prevent
low temperature return water. The RTC along with
the ancillary components must be properly installed
as identified in Section III, if there is any possibility
of system return water temperature less than 135°F. A
detailed description of the controller and it’s features
can be found in the RTC Installation and Maintenance
Manual.
1. Initial Start-up - Upon initial start-up, the control
will be energized, identifying the control name and
revision on the LED display. If wired properly, the
control should be energized at all times. The RTC
circuit should be supplied from a different source
than the burner or boiler circuit. The RTC control
should be energized at all times.
2. Testing – The RTC should be tested on initial startup, as well as during any troubleshooting exercise.
Depressing the test button will activate a test
sequence and energize the red test light on the front
of the control. Each of the controllers outputs and
relays will be energized and tested. One may pause
the test sequence at any time by depressing the test
button. See the RTC Installation & Maintenance
Manual for a detailed description of the sequence
and the potential error messages.
a. Return Sensor - The return sensor must be
properly connected or an error message will be
displayed. Both a short and an open circuit in
the sensor circuit will cause an error message to
be displayed and the valve will be moved to a
partially open position until the error is resolved.
b. Valve Actuator – During the valve actuator test
sequence, confirm that the valve travels through
90 degrees of rotation from a full closed position
to a full open position. The pointer on the shaft
must rotate from “10” to “0” respectively.
3. Adjust Setpoints – The RTC must have a number of
setpoints adjusted for proper operation. Below is
a summary, however see the RTC Installation and
Maintenance Manual for more details. To activate
the ADJUST menu, simultaneously depress and
hold the Item, and buttons. ADJUST will
appear in the upper right hand corner of the LED
display.
a. ROOM - Set desired room temperature. This
will provide parallel shift to heating curve.
OUTDR DESIGN OFF
b. MIX TARGET – This represents a fixed target
supply temperature when the outdoor reset
feature in NOT selected. (OUTDR DESIGN =
OFF) Set the MIX TARGET temperature to the
designed boiler supply temperature. Example:
If the boiler loop is designed to supply hot water
to the system at 180ºF, set the MIX TARGET
to 180ºF. This is also the same as the operating
aquastat set point. The mix target is adjustable
from 60°F to 200ºF. The default setting is 180°F.
NOTE: This function is only for applications
where the mix sensor is installed.
c. MIX DSGN – Mix design temperature represents
the design heating system supply temperature
when the outdoor reset feature is selected.
(OUTDR DESIGN = ON) This represents the
design of the system loop. If unsure of the
original design temperature, set the MIX DSGN
to the same temperature as the boiler operating
aquastat, typically 180ºF. The MIX DSGN is
adjustable from 70°F to 210ºF. The default
setting is 180°F.
d. OUTDR DSGN – The outdoor design
temperature represents the value used in the
heat loss calculations, when the outdoor reset
feature is selected. (OUTDR DESIGN = ON) If
this value is unknown, use the value found in

from including cold start warm up time in the
total boiler operation time below 135ºF. This
grace period is provided for every heat demand
cycle until 135ºF has been sensed at the return
sensor. Once the return sensor has sensed a

minimizes the amount of boiler temperature
overshoot at the end of a boiler cycle. During
the pump purge the diverting valve will
continue to operate and prevent low return water
temperatures from entering the boiler. At the
end of the pump purge period the diverting valve
will be immediately closed. The default PUMP
DELAY is set to 30 seconds.
l. UNITS – The temperature units can be changed
to either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The default
temperature unit is Fahrenheit.
4. ERROR MESSAGES – Error messages are shown
on the LED display. The function in error will be
shown as a black background label in the LED.
Most of the errors indicate an open or short circuit,
connected to the RTC. The RTC Installation and
Maintenance Manual identifies common errors.
Cycle through the error messages and repair as
required.
a. Return Sensor Error – If the return water
temperature sensor has been damaged or omitted,
the BOIL item will be displayed as either a
“short” or “open” circuit. This will force the
mixing device (i.e. 3-way valve) to run at a
fixed 30% open position. The system may not
receive enough heat nor will it be fully protected,
however a significant change will be obvious to
occupants and/or operators.
b. Operation Below Minimum – If the return sensor
has been damaged or omitted, and the return
water is allowed to return to the boiler below
135ºF, the BOIL MIN field will be displayed
along with ERR. The failure must be identified
and repaired immediately since the boiler
has been operating in a condition that fosters
premature boiler failure.

both the boiler circulator and the diverting valve
during periods of dormant activity provided power
is supplied to the control.
F.DIVERTING VALVE ACTUATOR - A 3-way
diverting valve is used to control the temperature of
the water returning to the boiler. Proper operation
is required to protect the boiler from thermal shock
and sustained condensate production. Confirm the
operation of the valve as shown above. See Figures 39a
and 39b.
G.BOILER OPERATING AQUASTAT – The operating
aquastat, L4006A, can be found on the front of the
boiler, to the right of the temperature/pressure gauge.
The operating aquastat should be set to the designed
supply temperature, typically 180ºF. The operating
aquastat set point, the RTC MIX TARGET or the RTC
MIX DESGN, should be set to the same value for
20°F ∆T applications. In 40°F ∆T applications, the
operating aquastat (L4006A) must be set 20°F higher
than the MIX TARGET and MIX DESIGN . Under
no circumstances should the operating aquastat be set
below 135ºF plus (+) the designed boiler temperature
drop, ∆T (ºF).
Example: if the flow rate through the boiler
corresponds to a 20ºF ∆T design, the operating
aquastat cannot be set lower than 135 + 20 = 155ºF.
In reality, most systems are designed for a 180ºF supply
water and 160ºF return water. The accuracy of the
operating aquastat is less than the RTC accuracy, often
requiring the operating aquastat temperature to be
bumped upward a few degrees.
high fire rate. The unit will continue to fire at the high
fire rate until the boiler high fire modulating limit is
reached.
Many modulation controls require the entry of a burner
f or low fire setting. The burner will modulate
of
between the high fire and low fire rate based on the
absolute boiler temperature as well as the rate of change
in boiler temperature.
If using a T991 Proportional Control or a similar
modulating device in a traditional hydronic system,
the minimum setting shall be the sum of the designed
heating system return temperature + boiler ∆T + 10°F.
Example: System Supply 180°F
System Return 160°F
System ∆T 20°F
Boiler ∆T 40°F
Min. Setting = 160°F + 40°F + 10°F
= 210°F
*NOTE: A higher flow through the boiler, achieving
a 20°F ∆T would lower the minimum to 190°F.
If using the same control in a system where the
designed return is less than 135°F, then the minimum
becomes:
135°F + Boiler ∆T + 10°F
J. TEST CONTROLS
H. BOILER HIGH LIMIT AQUASTAT – If used, the
high limit aquastat, L4006E, can be found on the front
of the boiler, to the left of the temperature/pressure
gauge. The high limit aquastat can be identified with a
red manual reset button. Ideally, the high limit aquastat
should be set 10 -15°F above the RTC MIX MAX
setting, when the outdoor reset feature is selected.
Typically, this is set between 200ºF and 220ºF. The
temperature must be set below the lowest permissible
temperature for any system related component affected
by boiler supply water. Under no circumstances can the
high limit aquastat be set higher than 250ºF.
I. BOILER MODULATING CONTROL – Various
controls are used to modulate burner firing rates.
No attempt will be made to cover every possibility,
however a general outline will be given.
Most modulation controls require the entry of a
boiler temperature identifying boiler operation at the
maximum firing rate. A boiler operating temperature
below that will also generate a full firing rate. When a
boiler heat demand is generated the unit will initiate at
either a low or high fire rate and quickly ramp up to the
All controls must be checked prior to putting the boiler
in service.
1. CHECK OPERATING CONTROL OPERATION.
Raise and lower operating control setting as required
to start and stop burner.
2. CHECK OPERATION OF HIGH LIMIT
CONTROL —
Jumper Operating Control Terminals. Allow burner
to operate until shutdown by limit. Installation is
not considered complete until this check has been
made. REMOVE JUMPER.
3. CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF control with water
level at normal water line (see Figure 1). Raise
operating control setting to allow burner to operate.
Open boiler drain to allow water level to drop to
bottom of sight glass until burner operation is shut
down by low water cutoff.
Close boiler drain and refill to normal water line.
Burner should automatically restart during fill.
RESET OPERATING CONTROL.

5. CHECK RTC CONTROL - see the Test Section in
the RTC Installation and Maintenance Manual.
K. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING - STEAM
BOILER
1. 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.
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
BLOWOFF connection. See Figure 40a.
a. Drain boiler until water is just visible in gauge
glass. Run temporarily 1½” pipe line from the
surface blowoff connection to an open drain or
some other location where hot water may be
discharged safely. Do not install valve in this
line.
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended
boilout compounds.
c. Start burner and operate sufficiently to boil
the water without producing steam pressure.
Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed pipe
sufficiently to permit a steady trickle of water
from the surface blowoff pipe. Continue this
slow boiling and trickle of overflow for several
hours until the water coming from the overflow
is clear.
d. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner and to
a location that hot water can be discharged with
safety.
e. Refill boiler to normal water line. If water in
gauge glass does not appear to be clear, repeat
steps (a. thru e.), and boil out the boiler for a
longer time.
2. Low pressure steam boilers such as the Series
24 should be maintained with appropriate water
treatment compounds. After cleaning process has
been completed, add water treatment compounds
as recommended by your local qualified water
treatment company.
3. Remove temporary surface blowoff piping and
replug tapping. Boil or bring water temperature to
180°F promptly in order to drive off the dissolved
gases in the fresh water.
4. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming persist,
install gate valve in Hartford Loop and drain valves
in return main and at boiler and proceed as follows:
a. Connect hoses from drain cocks to floor drain.
Close gate valve in Hartford Loop and open
drain cock in return main. Fill boiler to normal
water level, turn on 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.
b. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from boiler
into a container and dissolve into it appropriate
amount of a recommended boilout compound.
Remove surface blowoff plug and pour this
solution into boiler, then reinstall plug.
c. Turn on 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, flowing from drain hose
at about 180°F. Continue until water runs clear
from drain hose for at least 30 minutes.
d. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue
operating burner until excess water in boiler
flows out through supply main and water lowers
(by steaming) until it reaches normal level in
boiler. Turn off burner. Drain boiler. Open all
radiator valves. Reinstall all supply main air
valves. Open gate valve in Hartford Loop.
e. When boiler has cooled down sufficiently (crown
sheet of sections are not too hot to touch), close
51
Page 52
the drain cocks at boiler and in return main and
feed water slowly up to normal level in boiler.
Turn on burner and allow boiler to steam for
10 minutes then turn off burner. Draw off one
quart of water from bottom gauge glass fitting
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 refilling
the boiler until sample is clear.
f. 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 cock in return main, turn on burner
and allow condensate to flow 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 burner, drain boiler, open gate
valve in Hartford Loop, then repeat step (1)
above.
5. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and
refilled 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
hydrion paper which is used in the same manner
as litmus paper, except it gives specific 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 appropriate water treatment chemicals, if
necessary to bring the pH within the specified range.
6. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
L. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING - WATER
BOILERS
1. 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
normal system design operating pressure. To insure
that the system is full, water should come out of all
air vents when opened.
2. 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.
a. Remove safety relief valve using extreme care to
avoid damaging it.
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended
boilout compound.
c. Reinstall safety relief valve.
d. Fill the entire system with water.
e. Start firing the boiler.
f. Circulate the water through the entire system.
g. Vent the system, including the radiation.
h. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
i. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
j. Stop firing the boiler.
k. Drain the system in a manner and to a location
that hot water can be discharged with safety.
l. Remove plugs from all available returns and
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.
m. Refill the system with fresh water.
3. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds
as recommended by your local qualified water
treatment company.
4. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and
refilled 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
specific 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 appropriate water treatment
chemicals, if necessary to bring the pH within the
specified range. With this lower level of protection,
care must be exercised to eliminate all of the free
oxygen in the system.
A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler which can signifi
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. The maintenance of system
integrity is the best method to prevent these types of
failure.
cantly
N. OXYGEN CORROSION:
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
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
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 fittings which allow
oxygen absorption.
d. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
e. Consult your local water treatment specialist for
specific recommendations.

e. If removed, reinstall jacket top.
f. Reinstall left side panels.
g. Reinstall smokepipe.
C. MAINTENANCE OF LOW WATER CUTOFF
DEVICES.
1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF
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 cutoff control and the probe.
d. Dismount the low water cutoff 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 (three 3 parts of water to
one (1) part) of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).
h. Wire brushing of the probe is not recommended
as the soft platinum guard ring sandwiched
between the ceramic insulators may be damaged.
Care must be taken not to damage this ring in
any way or the useful life of the probe may be
shortened.
i. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove
old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.
j. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
dope to the pipe threads on the probe. Leaving
the two end threads bare. Do not use PTFE
(Teflon) tape.
k. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.
l. Mount the low water cutoff control on the probe.
m. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.
n. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline.
o. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed.
p. Restore electric service to the boiler.
q. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a
boil to drive off free oxygen.
r. BEFORE RETURNING BOILER TO
SERVICE Follow the low water cutoff checkout
procedure on Pages 46 and 47.
55
Page 56
2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF
WARNING
If b oiler is not used during winter time, it
must b e fully drained to preve n t freeze
da mage.
During the heating season, if an external low water
cutoff is on the boiler, the blow off valve should
be opened once a month (use greater frequency
where conditions warrant) to flush out the sediment
chamber so the device will be free to function
properly.
Low water cutoffs and water feeders should be
dismantled annually by qualified personnel, to the
extent necessary to insure freedom from obstructions
and proper functioning of the working parts. Inspect
connecting lines to boiler for accumulation of
mud, scale, etc., and clean as required. Examine
all visible wiring for brittle or worn insulation and
make sure electrical contacts are clean and that they
function properly. Give special attention to solder
joints on bellows and float when this type of control
is used. Check float for evidence of collapse and
check mercury bulb (where applicable) for mercury
separation or discoloration. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REPAIR MECHANISMS IN THE FIELD.
Complete replacement mechanisms, including
necessary gaskets and installation instructions, are
available from the manufacturer.
D. CHECK BURNER AND CONTROLS at least once
a year. See Section IV - Operating Instructions, Step J
for control checks. See Burner Manual for burner tests
and adjustments.
E.LUBRICATE BOILER COMPONENTS according
to manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, this involves
the oil burner and circulator. This includes the type of
lubricant to use, frequency of lubrication, and points to
lubricate.
F. GENERAL MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
1. Keep radiators and convectors clean.
2. If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom but not at
the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside
and should be vented. To vent radiator, hold small
cup under air vent (located near top of radiator),
open vent until water escapes and then close.
3. If much water is added to system, it is advisable to
heat system to a high temperature and vent again.
This will make less venting necessary during the
winter.
4. Where an expansion tank is used, make sure that
neither the tank nor its drain pipe is exposed to
freezing temperatures. Never place valves in piping
leading to or from expansion tank.
5. Boiler and system cleaning will help assure
trouble free operation. See Section IV - Operating
Instructions, Steps K or L for procedure.
G. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN
OPERATION
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 sufficient
water to fill 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, flush out boiler, and refill with
clean water to prescribed water level.
3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off
when 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 IV - Operating Instructions,
Steps B through L.
1. Standard burners are indicated with bold numbering in shade
d boxes. The other burners shown are optional.

APPENDIX B1 - Series 24 Boiler Circulator and Diverting Valve Selection Chart, 20°F & 40°F DT, TACO
APPENDIX C – VALVE AND ACTUATOR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Application
For use with ESBE ½” to 6” 3-Way and 4-Way rotary valves for mixing and diverting applications. Use with 24Vac 3-point “floating” signal controller.
Mounting the Motor
1. Place drive sleeve onto shaft and secure with bolt . Check that the valve is in mid-position (sleeve pointer set to position 5 on scale plate).
2. Mount threaded stud in one of the threaded holes. For 1½” and 2" valves replace one of the cover bolts with the threaded rod. Tighten
mounting piece onto threaded rod.
3. Mount handle over drive sleeve set pointer to 5 on the scale plate. Handle must be mounted opposite to the pointer of the drive sleeve.
4. Mount motor onto sleeve so that the mounting piece m fits into the locking piece o. Push locking piece to lock in place. Labels are supplied
to indicate the direction of rotation. Determine the direction of rotation and mount the correct label under the plastic front cover of motor.
Manual Operation
Always disconnect power before operating by hand. Note
position of drive sleeve pointer to be returned to. Depress
the gray button, “A”, on the side to release
the handle. The valve can now be operated
manually. Never manually operate when
gears are engaged.
Adjusting Cams
The position of the cams is changed by fitting a screwdriver in the slot and moving the cam to the desired
position.The topmost cam operates the auxiliary
switch (upper switch – NOT USED). The middle and
lower cams determine the degree of rotation (30° to
180°). To access, remove the actuator cover to gain
access to the middle and lower cams.The valve rotation must be set before operation can begin. Adjust
the cam so that each end switch is made when the
valve is fully open (pointer towards “0”) and when the
valve is fully closed (pointer towards “10”). Depress
the “Test” switch on the RTC control to test for proper valve operation.
