Control System: Honeywell S89F with 34 second Pre-Purge.

The system uses a remote ignition system using a separate Ignition Transformer.
The SU-3 Gas Burner is a fully automatic, flame retention burner and is suitable for combustion of natural gas.
Altering the head position, air shutter and gas pressure can change the firing rate. No orifice is used in Revent
applications. The same gas valve is used for both natural gas and Propane (LPG) without any conversion kit.
The combustion air can be adjusted for proper O2 or CO2 by the dial located at the rear of the burner housing,
which allows the air to flow more or flow less within the burner.
Two electrodes act as a sparker and a flame rod (See Fig. 1). Flame rectification by this flame rod monitors
the continued presence of the burner flame.
Warning: Should overheating occur, 1) shut off the manual gas shut off valve to control the appliance;
2) DO NOT shut off the control switch to the pump or blower
This power gas burner is designed to convert oil and/or coal fired boilers and furnaces to a gas-burning
appliance. The conversion must conform to local codes. In the absence of such codes, the American National
Standard for the Installation of gas conversion burners, Z21.8A-1990 and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
223.1-1992 or current standards should be applied.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
If the oven room is unusually tight, or if there is a ventilation fan, it is recommended that the combustion air
be supplied to the oven room through intakes from the outside of the building. The intakes must terminate
facing down in order to avoid obstruction from rain, snow, leaves, etc. Openings must have one square inch of
free area per 10,000 BTU input rate (see Example 1).

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
The chimney should extend at least 3’ above a flat roof or the highest roof ridge (see Fig. 2) and be free in a
radius of 30’ of objects such as tree limbs, other buildings, etc, which may cause a down draft. The chimney
should be lined as required by the local Gas Company or local codes.
Some utilities require new chimney liners for all gas installations. Use a corrosion resistant chimney liner
(approved for gas service) of the same size as the vent pipe.

INSTALLING THE BURNER
Picture 1: BODY FLANGE:
First, install the gasket and boiler flange to the boiler. For heat exchangers with a
diamond stud pattern, one allen screw on the flange should be on the top, slightly to
the left of the 12 o’clock stud. The second screw should be on the right (slightly
above the 3 o’clock position stud). Tighten all the nuts equally. Make sure that the
allen screws are backed out, to allow enough clearance. Then, insert the SU-3 gas
burner into the boiler.
Once the burner is inserted and pushed all the way forward, tighten the allen screw
on the top of the flange. This screw MUST go into the groove that is on the burner
housing.
Tighten the second allen screw, located on the right side of the flange. This screw
should be tight.
Seal off any free openings with either high temperature cement or high temperature
silicone.

GAS SERVICE & PIPE CAPACITY
Before connecting the burner to the gas supply, insure that the gas pipes and service meter are large
enough to permit the additional load of the gas burner (see Chart 4).

CHIMNEY LINER, DRAFT REGULATOR AND VENT PIPE
Some utilities require new chimney liners for all gas installations. Use a corrosion resistant chimney liner
(approved for gas service) of the same size as the vent pipe. Use a double swing draft regulator, listed by CSA
or U.L. Draft over fire for Revent ovens should be maintained as –0.12” W.C. by adjusting the regulator when
the burner is fired. The installer should follow the barometric draft regulator manufacturer’s instructions for
complete details for installations and adjustments. A movable internal damper is not permitted on gas
installations. The vent pipe should extend only to (but not beyond) the inside wall of the chimney.
Refer to the oven manual for the proper flue pipe size and draft recommendations.
GAS PIPING TO BURNER
It is advisable to run a separate gas line from the meter to the gas burner to avoid pressure drops. Refer to
the above Pipe Capacity table for the correct sizes. ALL PIPING MUST CONFORM WITH
