the insulated metal flex hose on the hot water
supply outlet of the boiler. In order to install the
water supply piping, this rod must be removed
as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 2-3 and back off the hex nut
on the outlet side of the flex hose.
2. Next, disconnect the coupling nut from the
flange stud.
3. Completely remove the threaded rod, hex
piping connections. The physical location of the
supply and return piping connections are on the
rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-4. Refer to
Appendix F, Drawing AP-A-811 for additional
dimensional data.

2.4.4 Removal of Strap and Packing
Material From Heat Exchanger
Prior to connecting the external gas supply or
electrical power to the unit. the strap and
packing material must be removed from the top of
the primary heat exchanger. This material is
located in the area of the ignitor-injector and staged
ignition solenoid on the burner assembly This can
be easily accomplished by removing the top panel
nearest to the front of the unit.
2.5 SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING
The Benchmark 3.0 Boiler utilizes 4” 150#
flanges for the water system supply and return
The Benchmark 3.0 Boiler is designed to
condense water vapor from the flue products.
Therefore, the installation must have provisions
for suitable condensate drainage or collection.
Two condensate drain connections are provided
on the rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-5.
One drain connection is located on the exhaust
manifold and the other is located on the
connecting manifold.
The drain at the bottom of the exhaust manifold
also includes a condensate trap containing a
float assembly. When condensate collects in the
exhaust manifold, the float rises, thereby
allowing it to discharge through the drain
opening. The drain pipe located on the
connecting manifold must be connected to a
second condensate trap which is packed
separately within the unit’s shipping container.
The procedures to install and connect both of
the
condensate drains
are
provided
in
paragraphs 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.
