•

Piping, and

•

Electrical conduit, fittings, etc.

7. Trim Installation

Installing the trim components requires:

•

Relief valve(s)

•

Burner firing controls

•

Low water cutoff

•

Conduit and wire

•

Pipe components

•

Standard electrical tools (conduit bender, wire puller,
etc.)

Wiring diagram

NOTE:

When the burner is being in-

stalled, a means of safely lifting the
burner will be required. Refer to the Op-
eration and Maintenance manual for
