Servicing and Conversion

IMPORTANT

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICING, ENSURE THAT THE ISOLATING COCK IS TURNED OFF AND CANNOT BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON AND THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED.

AFTER ANY MAINTENANCE TASK, CHECK THE APPLIANCE TO ENSURE THAT IT PERFORMS CORRECTLY AND CARRY OUT ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AS DETAILED IN SECTION 1.

ALWAYS CHECK FOR GAS SOUNDNESS AFTER CARRYING OUT ANY SERVICING OR EXCHANGE OF GAS CARRYING COMPONENTS.

NOTE: When replacing wiring connections refer to the wiring diagram contained on the unit and within this manual.

After Servicing

a)Test for gas soundness as specified in IGE/UP1 as appropriate after any gas connection has been disturbed.

b)Check for correct operation, as appropriate (see commissioning of appliance).

Regular Servicing Procedures

The following must be serviced at regular intervals.

Burners

The burner should be cleaned periodically to maintain maximum performance. Burners are best cleaned with a wire brush and any blocked parts are best cleaned with a metal broach, taking care not to damage the burner head.

The injector orifice should be cleaned with a wooden splinter. Metal reamers may distort or increase the orifice size and should be avoided.

Gears

The gear housing has fitting for proper lubrication of moving parts. The gears do not run in oil, periodic lubrication with grease is necessary. Frequency of lubrication will depend on operating conditions, but it should be performed at least once every 6 months. It is recommended that a #2 grade LGI lithium grease be used. Add grease through the Zerk fittings on the gear housing until grease flows out of bearings around the trunnion shaft. Place a

liberal amount of grease on the gear to cover the arc that is in contact with the worm gear.

Safety Valve

At least twice a month the safety valve requires checking to make sure it works correctly. When the gauge pressure is about five PSI, lift the valve lever enough to vent steam, then quickly let it snap back into place.

WARNING

AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE.

This procedure should be explained to the user, since it is to be carried out at least twice a month. Safety procedures and requirements should also be explained to the user when carrying out the procedure.

Safety Valve Operating Instructions

If adding water to a boiler, DO NOT ALLOW water to flow through safety valve as sediment or debris may be deposited on seating surface.

To achieve topmost performance and maximum service life, it is necessary to maintain a proper pressure margin between set pressure of the safety valve and equipment operating pressure.

10 OM/SM-DH CE

The minimum required pressure margin for this type of valve is 10% of the safety relief valve set pressure, but not less than five PSI. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS MARGIN BE LESS THAN 5 PSI. Failure to maintain this operating margin may result in water leakage past the seat and accumulation of deposits on the seating surface. Excessive deposits may prevent the valve from operating properly, and a dangerous pressure build-up and equipment rupture may result.

Maintenance and Testing

Test the operation of the safety valve on a regular basis.

CAUTION

BEFORE TESTING, MAKE CERTAIN DISCHARGE PIPE IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO VALVE OUTLET AND ARRANGED TO CONTAIN AND SAFELY DISPOSE OF BOILER DISCHARGE (SEE “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS”).

Under normal operating conditions a “try lever test” must be performed every two months. Under severe service conditions, or if corrosion and/or deposits are noticed within the valve body, testing must be performed more often. A “try lever test” must also be performed at the end of any non-service period.

Test at or near maximum operating pressure by holding the test lever fully open for at least 5 seconds to flush the valve seat free of sediment and debris. Then release lever and permit the valve to snap shut.

If lift lever does not activate, or there is no evidence of discharge, discontinue use of equipment immediately and contact a licensed contractor or qualified service personnel.

Neither Conbraco Industries, Inc. nor its agents assume any liability for valves improperly installed or maintained.

This quality Conbraco safety relief valve, along with proper installation, use, and maintenance, will provide many years of reliable service and protection against excessive pressure build-up of water/steam. Use of this valve for any other purpose or media places all responsibility upon the user. Before installing valve or operating equipment to which it is installed, read instructions carefully. Always wear proper safety equipment.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY VALVE

a)Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

b)The BTU/hr or lb/hr rating of this valve must equal or exceed that of the equipment to which it is attached.

c)DO NOT use this valve on a coal or wood boiler having an uncontrolled heat input.

d)Ensure that all connections, including the valve inlet, are clean and free from any foreign material.

e)Use pipe compound sparingly, or tape, on external threads only.

f)DO NOT USE A PIPE WRENCH! Use proper type and size wrench on wrench pads only.

g)This valve must be mounted in a vertical, upright position directly to a clean, tapped opening in the top of the boiler or equipment. Under no circumstances should there be a flow restriction or valve of any type between the safety relief valve and the pressure vessel

h)WARNING! During operation, this valve may discharge large amounts of steam and/or hot water. To reduce the potential for bodily injury and property damage, a discharge line MUST be installed that:
