Burnham Series 8H/8HE Boiler Manual De Propietario

WARNING - BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE BOILER 

IS CONSIDERED COMPLETE THE OPERATION 

OF THE BOILER CONTROLS SHOULD ALL BE 

CHECKED, PARTICULARLY THE LOW WATER CUT-

OFF AND THE HIGH LIMIT CONTROLS.
6.1    FILL ENTIRE HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER 

and vent air from system.  Use the following 

procedure on a system equipped with zone valves.

1)   Close all but one zone valve.
2)   Open drain valves on boilers.
3)   Open fill valve.
4)   Close purge valve.
5)   Open relief valves on boilers.
6)   Allow water to run out of drain valve until zone 

has been purged of air and filled with water.

7)   Open zone valve to the second zone to be purged, 

then close the first.  Repeat this step until all zones 

have been purged but always have one zone open.  

At completion open all zone valves.

8)   Close drain valve.
9)   When water discharges from relief valves, release 

the lever on the top of the relief valves, allowing 

them to close.

10)   Continue filling the system until the pressure gauge  

   reads 12 psi.  Close fill valve.

11)   Open purge valve.
12)   Start system circulator.

6.2    TEST GAS PIPING.  Test main and pilot gas piping 

at boiler for leaks at all piping connections and valves.  

Refer to 4.5.6.

6.3    PURGE GAS PIPING OF AIR

1)   Disconnect electric service to boiler.
2)   Turn control knob on all modules' combination gas 

valves to off position.

3)   Open valve on main gas line at meter.
4)   Starting with Module #1 disconnect pilot tubing 

from outlet side of combination gas valve.  Depress 

Control Knob slightly and turn to "Pilot" position.  

Depress Knob fully and hold until gas issues from 

disconnected fitting.  Release Knob and reconnect 

pilot tubing.  Turn control knob to off.

5)   Repeat (4) for each module in sequence.

6.4    Make sure that pilot tubing has been reconnected.  

Wait five minutes then proceed "To Light" in 

accordance with boiler operating instructions 

attached to the boiler jacket.  On boilers equipped 

with standing pilots, light the pilot of each boiler in 

sequence.

6.5    CHECK GAS INPUT rate to each boiler separately.  

Input rate must not exceed that shown on Rating Plate.  

For propane gas adjust regulator for a burner manifold 

pressure of eleven (11.0) inches water column.

 

  For natural gas, check input rate shown on boiler 

rating plate as follows:

1)   Consult local gas company for heating value of gas 

(BTU/Cu. Ft.).

2)   Set limit and operating control high enough so 

boiler will not shut off while checking input rate.

3)   All other gas burning appliances served by meter 

should be turned off temporarily while checking 

input rate.

4)   Check manifold pressure at 1/8" tapping on burner 

manifold.  Pressure should be approximately 

3½" water column for natural gas.  Adjustment 

of gas pressure can be made by turning regulator
