INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – SERIES SC AND SCT
1— Read carefully, study these instructions before beginning work.
2— This boiler must be installed by a qualified contractor.
3— The boiler warranty can be voided if the boiler is not installed, maintained and serviced correctly.
4— The equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where the installation is to be made.
These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction shall be consulted before installations are made.
A – ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCES
1— To provide for reasonable conditions of accessibility for servicing, the following minimum clearances are recommended between the boiler and
adjacent walls or other appliances—24" on the right side, 36" on the left side, and 30" in the front and rear of the boiler.
B – AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
1— Be certain adequate facilities are available to provide air for satisfactory combustion and ventilation.
2— Appliances Located in Unconfined Spaces.
a. Installations in unconfined spaces with conventional construction and large areas such as basements, the supply of air for combustion and
ventilation can usually be considered adequate.
3— Appliance Located in Confined Spaces
a. If all air for combustion and ventilation is to come from within the building, two openings, one near the ceiling and one near the floor of the boiler
room shall be provided with the minimum free area of each opening equal to 140 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned.
b. If all air for combustion and ventilation is to come from outside the building, two openings, one near the ceiling and one near the floor of the
boiler room shall be provided with the minimum free area of each opening equal to 35 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned.
If ducts are used to convey the air, areas of 35 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned for vertical ducts or 70 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned for horizontal
ducts are to be provided. Ducts shall have the same area as the free area of the openings to which they are connected.
C – SETTING UP BOILER
1— Models SC/SCT-05 and SC/SCT-06 are shipped in a single block. The boiler sections on models SC/SCT-07 thru SC/SCT-10 are shipped in two
parts.
2— Provide a good level foundation, located as close as possible to the center of the heating system and to the chimney or vent system. The heating
surface of the SC/SCT Series Boilers is designed to be cleaned from either the top or left of the unit. Allow adequate clearance on the left of unit if
servicing is to be done from the side.
CAUTION: THIS BOILER IS NOT APPROVED FOR USE ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING.
3— Place each block of sections on the foundation with nipple ports facing each other. Refer to Figure 1.
4— Clean nipple ports with an acceptable cleaning solvent to remove protective coating. Make certain there are no burrs around the outside edge of the
ports.
5— Spread a thin coat of TFE-TITE in the nipple ports. Never on nipples.
6— Insert the push nipples. Make certain they are clean and free from burrs.
7— Apply a thin coat of TFE-TITE to the rope groove. Press the Hi Temp Rope into rope groove.
8— Arrange both blocks so that protruding nipples enter the open ports. Care must be taken to keep nipples straight and blocks aligned.
9— Insert draw rods through the nipple ports. Make certain that the 3/4" draw rod is used on the large nipple. Pay particular attention to the placement
of the draw washers. See Figure 1.
10— Before starting draw, oil the threads and between the nuts and washers.
11— Tighten the hex nuts and draw boiler evenly until the small pads on each section just touch.
12— After boiler is drawn, remove draw rods and cut 5" from 6-1/4" threaded end. Insert rod thru the lugs on each end section and tighten the hex nuts
hand tight.
13— Make up water connection to boiler and fill. Check to make certain there is no leakage at the nipple port connection.
14— Remove flue collector and Hi Temp Rope (Items 8 and 9, Figure 4) from carton. Lay rope (Item 8) on top of boiler against bead provided. Place flue
collector on top of rope and attach to boiler with 1/4"-20 x 1-3/4" studs and nuts. Draw down snugly. On Models 05 and 06, remove combustion
chamber cover plate (Item 3) and attach flame observation assembly (Item 4) to Combustion Chamber Cover Plate (Item 3). Remove and discard
round cast iron cover door X-1031 located on the inside of the cover plate.
15— Remove clean-out cover plates and insulation (7). Each clean-out cover plate is attached to the boiler by using two carriage bolts, nuts and
washers (6). Install the carriage bolts into the notch at the top and bottom of each clean-out opening, then secure them with a flat washer and steel
nut as shown in Figure 2 locking them into place. Press the clean-out plate with insulation over the protruding carriage bolts until the bolts punch
through the insulation so a flat washer and brass nut can be installed. Tighten down nuts snugly compressing the insulation to form a good seal
around the clean-out opening.
