SECTION IX - MESTEK LINE BURNERS
Inspection and Maintenance of Gas Ports
Conduct initial inspection within the
fi
rst month after
commissioning. Visually check the gas ports of new
burner assemblies for any piping scale or debris. Use
Pin Vise with drill bit to remove.
Annual inspections are normally adequate once
the initial piping debris is removed. The operating
conditions of the burner will determine how frequently
maintenance is actually required.
P001117 - Mestek Line Burners
Use of an electric drill motor is not suggested unless
both Pin Vise and Drill can be chucked up in a vari-
speed drill unit. Use caution, because it is easy to snap
the bits off in a port when using a drill motor. Removal of
broken bits from the gas ports is dif
fi
cult.
Alternate drill size which may be used is a 5/64" (for
#45).
