Burnham Series 8H/8HE Boiler Instruccion De Instalación

  Safe operation and other performance criteria were met 

with the gas manifold and control assembly provided 

on boiler when boiler underwent tests specified in 

Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers, ANSI Z21.13.

  Check Main Burners. Main burners must be properly 

located on support bracket in Base Rear Panel, seated 

on Main Burner Orifices, and secured with hitch pin 

clips.

and electrical system are installed properly.  Refer to 

installation instructions contained in this manual.

  Confirm all electrical, water and gas supplies 

are turned off at the source and that vent is clear of 

obstructions.

  FILL ENTIRE HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER 

and vent air from system. Use following procedure on 

a Series Loop or multi-zoned system installed as per 

Figure 21 to remove air from system when filling.

1.  Close full port ball valve in boiler supply piping.
2.  Isolate all zones by closing zone valves or shut-off 

valves in supply and return of each zone(s).

3.  Attach a hose to the vertical purge valve located 

prior to the full port ball valve in the system supply 

piping.  (Note - Terminate hose in five gallon bucket 

at a suitable floor drain or outdoor area).

4.  Starting with one circuit at a time, open zone valve 

or shut-off valve in system supply and return piping.

5.  Open purge valve.
6.  Open fill valve (Make-up water line should be 

located directly after full port ball valve in system 

supply piping between air scoop and expansion 

tank).

7.  Allow water to overflow from bucket until discharge 

from hose is bubble free for 30 seconds.

8.  Close the open zone valve or shut-off valve for the 

zone being purged of air, then open the zone valve 

or shut-off valve for the next zone to be purged.  

Repeat this step until all zones have been purged.  At 

completion, open all zone valves or shut-off valves.

9.  Close purge valve, continue filling the system 

until the pressure gauge reads the desired cold fill 

pressure.  Close fill valve.  

   (Note - If make-up water line is equipped with 

pressure reducing valve, adjust pressure reducing 

valve to desired cold fill pressure.  Follow fill valve 

manufacturer’s instructions).

10.  Open isolation valve in boiler supply piping.
11.  Remove hose from purge valve.

1.  Obtain gas heating value (in Btu per cubic foot) 

from gas supplier.

2.  Connect manometer to pressure tap on gas valve.  

Use 1/8 NPT tapping provided.

3.  Temporarily turn off all other gas-fired appliances.
4.  Turn on gas supply to the boiler gas piping.
5.  Confirm that the supply pressure to the gas valve is 

14 in. w.c. or less.  

6.  Open the field installed manual gas shut-off valve 

located upstream of the gas valve on the boiler.

7.  Using soap solution, or similar non-combustible 

solution, electronic leak detector or other approved 

method.  Check that boiler gas piping, valves, and 

all other components are leak free.  Eliminate any 

leaks.

8.  Purge gas line of air.

  Follow Lighting or Operating Instructions to place 

boiler in operation. Refer to label on inside of Front 

Removable Panel or appropriate Figure as listed in
