1. GENERAL SPECIFICATION
Contractor shall furnish and install, where indicated on the drawings, ______ (quantity) Model 8_____H gas fired
hot water boiler(s) having an I=B=R approved gross output of _______ MBH and a net rating of _______ MBH per
boiler with an input of _______ MBH when fired with (natural or LP gas). Boiler(s) shall be constructed of cast iron
sections manufactured in accordance with ASME requirements for low pressure boilers and each section shall be
permanently marked with the ASME symbol and the maximum allowable working pressure.

sections manufactured in accordance with ASME requirements for low pressure boilers and each section shall be
permanently marked with the ASME symbol and the maximum allowable working pressure.
2. BOILER EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION
*2.1 The boiler(s) shall be knocked down with the sections and base factory assembled as one unit. The knocked
down boiler shall be shipped in a fully containerized shipping crate, capable of being stacked two high.
*2.2 The boiler(s) shall be factory packaged with jacket, manifold, burner, and controls mounted and wired. The
packaged boiler shall be shipped on a wooden skid with reinforced cardboard to protect from damage.
2.3 Boiler sections shall have pin-like projections on each center section, evenly spaced on the vertical flue
surfaces to extract the maximum heat from the hot flue gases.
2.4 Boiler sections shall be surface ground to ensure smooth positive mating surfaces.
2.5 Boiler sections shall be assembled with precision machined cast iron push nipples, pressed into a mating
machined nipple port in the section eliminating the need for any gasket material which would be subject to
deterioration due to corrosion or oil based chemicals.
2.6 All boiler sections shall be individually hydrostatically tested for 50 psi water working pressure in
accordance with ASME Code Section IV.
2.7 Boiler shall have top access individual cleanout openings between sections.
2.8 Boilers shall be equipped with aluminized steel burners with air shutters which feature smooth ignition and
positive flame extinction.
2.9 Boiler flue canopy shall be constructed of heavy gauge aluminized steel and shall be concealed under an
insulated steel boiler jacket.
2.10 A drafthood shall be furnished for each boiler.
*2.11 Boiler shall be equipped with an automatic flue vent damper. (standard on size 805H)
2.12 The boiler jacket shall be deluxe extended type with 3” insulation and have a rust resistant baked enamel
finish. The jacket shall be capable of being installed after system piping has been connected to the boiler
section assembly.
2.13 Boiler trim shall include a 3-1/2” round pressure-temperature gauge with separated scales for pressure and
water temperature. In addition, an ASME approved water relief valve shall be furnished sized to exceed the
boiler gross output capacity and shall be factory set to relieve pressure at (30) (50) psi.
