SERIES 28RTS/HE BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning Of  Water Boilers
Normally the cleaning of water boilers is unnecessary 
unless there is unusually heavy contamination of the 
boiler or system.

The burner must be installed and made operational 
along with the operating, limit and other safety controls. 
The burner on oil boilers must be adjusted to prevent 
sooting of the boiler fl ues.

Final burner adjustment should be made after the boiler 
has been properly cleaned. 

WARNING: The pressure relief valve must 
be installed and piped to the fl oor to prevent 
scalding in the event of a discharge, see Figure 
16. The discharge piping must be sized the 
same as the pressure relief valve outlet. Never 
install any type of valve between the boiler and 
the pressure relief valve! Failure to comply with 
this warning can result in an explosion causing 
extensive property damage, severe personal 
injury or death!

Control Installation
Locate the temperature & pressure gage, low water cutoff, 
high limit and operating controls per Figures 17 & 24 and 
Table 5. Optional controls must be installed in accordance 
with the control manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: The front jacket panel MUST be installed before 
any controls are attached to the front boiler section!

CAUTION: The controls must be mounted in the correct 
location and according to the control manufacturer’s 
instructions or the boiler may not function properly!

Piping For Use With Cooling Units
The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration 
system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped 
in parallel with the boiler. Appropriate valves must be 
used to prevent the chilled water from entering the boiler. 

When a boiler is connected to a heating coil that may be 
exposed to refrigerated air from an air handling device, the 
piping system must be equipped with fl ow-control valves 
or some other automatic means of preventing gravity 
circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
