Burnham Series 4N Boiler Instruccion De Instalación

1.  Refer to burner manufacturer’s installation 

manual   provided for proper venting of the 

gas train components that require atmospheric 

pressure to balance a diaphragm. 

2.  All cover plates, enclosures and guards 

must be in place at all times, except during 

maintenance and service.

3.  Insulate all steam and hot water piping, fittings 

and connections and all other hot components 

and equipment from personnel contact..

4.  Assure all pipes, fittings, electrical controls and 

all other associated burner/boiler equipment 

is of proper design and construction for the 

intended use and provides adequate protection 

from electrical shock and harmful physical 

contact to personnel. 

5.  A leak-tight fuel delivery conduit and control 

system must be maintained at all times. 

6.  Products of combustion must be transported 

from the boiler/burner system to the outdoors 

in an approved, leak tight, insulated venting 

system. The boiler room must be positively 

ventilated to prevent a concentration of 

products of combustion and a reduction in the 

amount of oxygen in the air. 

7.  For optimum performance and serviceability  

from this unit adhere to the following  

 

recommendations:
A.  Clean firetubes at least once a year, 

preferably at the end of the heating season 

to remove soot and scale. Inside surfaces of 

the furnace, front and  rear smokeboxes, and 

reversing chamber should also be cleaned 

at the same time.

B. Have the burner and controls checked at 

least  once a year or as necessary.

C. Retain your contractor or a competent 

serviceman to assure that the unit is 

properly adjusted and maintained.

 

The boiler is designed specifically for forced draft 

firing, is available with oil, gas or combination gas/oil 

burners, and operates with a combustion efficiency of 

over 80%.
 

This manual gives the necessary information for 

the proper installation, operation, maintenance and 

service of units. For special installation problems,

2.  INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of  

 damage.

A.  All Equipment is carefully manufactured,  

inspected and packed. Our responsibility 

ceases upon delivery of boiler to the carrier in 

good condition. 

B.  Any Claims for damage or shortage in 

shipment must be filed immediately against 

the carrier by the consignee. No claims for 

variances from, or shortage in, orders will be 

allowed by the manufacturer unless presented 

within sixty (60) days after receipt of goods.

 

Most boilers are equipped with lifting lugs to be 

used in maneuvering the boiler into position. On large 

boilers, where four lifting lugs are supplied, all four lugs 

should be used when lifting the boiler. Scotch boilers 

can also be rolled into position using roller skids under 

the leg supports, pipe rollers may cause damage. 

The unit should be located in the boiler room so as to 

provide ease of venting and adequate clearance for 

maintenance, serviceability and installation of piping.
 

The tube pull space listed in the Burnham 

Commercial product catalog must be provided at 

the front of the boiler.  The coil pull space must be 

maintained at the front of units equipped with tankless 

coils. Floor construction should have adequate load 

bearing characteristics to bear the weight of the boiler 

filled with water. A boiler foundation is recommended 

if the boiler room floor is weak, uneven or if a water 

condition exists. These boilers are not for installation 

on combustible flooring. If desiccant package was 

ordered, be sure to remove from the boiler furnace 

using the rear access, and from the waterside using 

the manhole cover.
4.  CHIMNEY OR vENT

 

On installations where a natural draft stack is 

used, causing high breeching drafts, the boiler locking 

blade damper (on boilers equipped with one) may 

require adjusting, or one may need to be installed at 

the boiler breeching. In multiple boiler installations, 

or in installations where the breeching draft may vary 

considerably, automatic draft controls in combination 

with a motorized damper may be required.
 

When considering the stack and breeching, the 

design should take into account that the boiler/burner 

combination will work best when the pressure at the 

boiler flue outlet is in the range of + or - 1/10 inch WC.
