The Solution - How it works... 

1. Control 

panel 

cover

 

The control panel cover provides access to the thermostat, ignition 

 

module, and transformer.

 

2. Burner 

(not 

shown)

 

The burner is a cylindrical stainless steel tube used to regulate 

 burner 

flame.

3. Drain 

port

 

Location from which the heat exchanger can be drained.

4. Flue 

outlet

 

The flue outlet allows the connection of the vent pipe to the unit.

  

5. Gas 

connection 

 

The gas pipe connection on this appliance is 1/2", or 3/4" NPT.  To 

 

deliver the correct amount of gas volume to the appliance it may 

 

be necessary to have a larger gas line reduced at the appliance.  

 

Please reference the National Fuel Gas Code charts for more 

 details.

6. Gas 

valve

 

The gas valve allows the proper amount of gas to pass into the 

 

burner for combustion.  

7. Heat 

exchanger

 

The heat exchanger allows system water to flow through specially 

 

designed tubes for maximum heat transfer.  The glass lined 

 

headers and copper finned tubing are encased in a jacket that 

 

contains the combustion process.

8.  High limit sensor

 

Device that monitors the outlet water temperature to ensure 

 

safe operation.  If the temperature exceeds its setting, it will break 

 

the control circuit, shutting the appliance down.

9. Ignition 

module

 

The ignition module responds to a call for heat signal to provide 

 burner 

operation.

10. Junction box

 

The junction box contains the connection points for the line 

 

voltage power and all pumps.

11. Performance loop

 

A pumped bypass provides constant flow through the heat 

 

exchanger when the building system flow is reduced.

12. Performance Loop Pump

 

The pump ensures adequate flow to operate the unit. 

13.  Pilot (not shown)
 

The pilot is a spark ignition device used to light a pilot flame which 

 

in turn is used to light the main burners.

14. Pump relay

 

The pump relay energizes the pump on a call for heat.

15. Relief valve

 

The relief valve is a safety device that ensures the maximum 

 

pressure of the appliance is not exceeded.

16. Sight Glass
 

The sight glass provides a view of the burner surface, burner flame, 

 

and the pilot flame.

17. Temperature and pressure gauge 

 

The temperature and pressure gauge monitors the outlet 

 

temperature of the appliance as well as the system water 

 pressure.

18. Temperature sensor

 

This sensor monitors inlet water temperature.   If selected as the 

 

controlling sensor, the appliance will maintain the setpoint at this 

 sensor.

19. Terminal strip

 

The boiler is equipped with a terminal strip on the left side of the 

 

unit to allow easy connection to contact points. 

20. Top panel

 

Removable panel to gain access to the internal components.

21. Thermostat

 

The thermostat monitors the water temperature via a temperature 

 

sensor and will initiate a call for heat when the water temperature 

 

drops below the setpoint plus the differential on the thermostat.

22. Transformer 
 

The transformer reduces 120 VAC supply voltage to 24 VAC for the 

 control 

circuit.

 

 

23.  Water inlet (system return)

 

The water inlet is a  1 1/2" pipe connection that receives water 

 

from the system and delivers it to the heat exchanger.

24.  Water outlet (system supply)

 

The water outlet is a 1 1/2" pipe connection that supplies 

 

water to the system with connections for a flow switch, a relief 

 

valve, and a temperature and pressure gauge.

25. Gas manifold pipe

 

Delivers gas from the gas valve to the main burners through a 

 

number of orifices.
