SECTION 1.
General Information
Newport boilers have been designed and
con struct ed ac cord ing to ASME codes using heavy
gauge steel tubes and boiler plate.
The reliable heat exchanger incorporates special
flue baffles to assure quiet and efficient operation and
a pur pose designed ceraform combustion cham ber
min i miz es base loss and also provides a tight enclosure
with the heat exchanger.
The domestic hot water coil is located at the top
of the boiler in the hottest zone for an ample supply
of hot wa ter. A unique feature of its attachment is the
raised coil flange which allows the use of clamping
bolts rather than studs, thereby elim i nat ing water leaks
caused by broken studs.
The complete unit comes pre-assembled for easy
in stal la tion and is encased by a fully insulated baked
enamel jacket.
As delivered, the boiler's burner is equipped with
a nozzle for 0.85 (NP 85-110) or 1.25 (NP 125-150)
gallons of #2 heating oil. Provided with the boiler are
two (2) additional nozzles that permit higher firing
rates. See Table 1 below.
Installation of either of the two (2) additional
nozzles, in place of the factory-installed nozzle, will
provide the corresponding performance indicated in
the chart labeled “Performance”, on page 7, for the
alternate nozzle installed. Boilers equipped with Carlin
burners also require a change of the Head Positioning
Bar (also provided).
PRODUCTION
OUT OF
1.3 Boiler Location
The boiler should be positioned as near to the
chim ney as possible and have a minimum smoke pipe
connector length of 18"(457mm).
CAUTION
Newport boilers must not be directly connected
to a heating system using oxygen permeable
tubing (see warranty). Use a water to water
heat exchanger between boiler and system to
prevent corrosion.
1.4 Boiler Clearances (to combustibles)
Top - 6" (152mm) Front - 24" (610mm)
Rear - 6" (152mm) Sides - 6" (152mm)
1.5 Floor
The boiler must be mounted on a noncombustible
ma son ry or cement floor with no com bus ti bles
un der neath.
1.6 Combustion and Ventilation Air
To insure an adequate supply of fresh air for
com bus tion and ventilation an inlet and outlet opening
should be pro vid ed at floor and ceiling level. Each
opening must have a minimum of one square inch
(16.5 sq. cm) of free area for every 1,000 BTU/h
(293kW) of input or 140 square inches (903 sq. cm)
per one gallon (3.785L) of oil burned per hour. The
openings must not be in a position liable to blockage.
1.1 Boiler Installation
For recommended installation practice reference
should be made to the National Fire Protection
Stan dard for Oil Burning Equipment (NFPA 31 Latest Edition).

Fuel Line: A single pipe system of not less
than 3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended when
fuel storage level is not below the fuel unit. A two
pipe system of not less than 3/8" OD copper tubing is
recommended when lowest fuel level is below but not
more than 8 feet below fuel unit.
Important: Refer to burner (pump) instructions
for detailed fuel line and pump usage information. All
installations must conform to local and national codes.
See Figures 5A and 5B.

layout.
1.14 Electrical Wiring
All wiring must comply with the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70, local codes and ordinances
regarding wire size, type of insulation and enclosures
etc. (see Figure 6).
1.15 Operation (Honeywell L8124A or
L7224A aquastat relay)
A call for heat from the room thermostat causes
the re lay to “make “ the burner circuit and also feed
the cir cu la tor provided the boiler water tem per a ture is
above the low limit setting (usually 190°F [88°C] to
210°F [99°C]). The burner and cir cu la tor then continue
to run until the room thermostat is satisfied.
A high limit switch shuts off burner in the event
of water temperature exceeding the high limit setting,
usually 20°F (-7°C) to 30°F (-1°C) above the low limit
setting.
The low limit switch and circulator maintain
boiler water temperature for domestic hot water
ser vic es and pre vent circulation of heating system
water if domestic water is not hot enough.
1.16 Domestic Water Piping
1. Connect anti scald tempering valve (12) “HOT”
port to hot water outlet from unit. This valve
should be mounted 3" (76mm) to 6" (152mm)
below the outlet and set for 120° F mixed
delivery temperature or as local codes dictate
(see Figure 1).
2. Connect gate or shutoff valve (13) to anti scald
tempering valve (12) “MIX” port, and another to
the cold water inlet.
3. Connect pressure relief valve (11) (if required
by codes), maximum 150 PSI as close to the unit
as possible. No other valves or restrictions may
be installed between the DHW coil and the
relief valve.
(DO NOT USE A TEM PER A TURE/PRES SURE
RELIEF VALVE AS THIS IS NOT A STOR AGE
HOT WATER HEATER).

9. Replace all parts, ensuring flue-baffles are
correctly located. Ensure flue collector and
smoke-pipe are tightly sealed.
1.18 Cleaning the Chimney
Sweep all soot deposits from chimney and
smoke-pipe once a year, preferably at the end of the
heat ing season. It is also advisable to in spect the
chim ney and smoke-pipe at the be gin ning of heating
season as birds may have built their nest inside or
other material may be caus ing a blockage.
1.19 Servicing the Burner
This should only be carried out by a trained and
licensed service technician in accordance with the
burner mak er’s instructions.
OUT OF
1.20 Maintenance of the Tankless Coil
