Weil-McLain logo plate (standard) or
Remote Display Module (optional) 

The Remote Display Module (RDM) is used when the optional 
AFM (item 28) is installed.  The display shows boiler and system 
status and is used to adjust operating parameters.

2. ON/OFF 

switch

3. 

Control Pod cover fastener

4. Pressure/Temperature 

gauge

Displays boiler water pressure and outlet water temperature.

5. 

Jacket top rear panel

6. 

Control Pod cover

The 

®

 Control Pod cover is hinged to allow easy access to 

the limit temperature sensor, boiler wiring and optional Advanced 
Features Module (AFM).

7. 

Jacket side panels

®

 jacket side panels are interchangeable.

8. 

Jacket rear panel, with insulation

9. Terminal 

strip

Electrical connections, both line and low voltage, connect to the 
terminal strip.

10. Front 

section

11. Intermediate 

sections

12. Back 

section

13.  Burner wire harness

Line voltage wiring to burner, terminated in a Molex connector 
in the jacket cross tie (item 19). An additional harness connects 
from the cross tie connector to the burner.

14.  Burner door hinge bracket

The hinge bracket can be installed on either side to allow for right 
or left-hand swing.

15.  Swing-away burner door

The 

®

 burner door is hinged to provide easy access to the 

boiler heat exchanger for inspection and cleaning.

16.  Rotating observation port

The 

®

 observation port is designed to prevent soot from 

depositing on the sight glass. During normal operation the sight 
glass is located at the 12:00 position. To view the burner fl ame, 
loosen the center mounting bolt and rotate so the sight glass is 
in the 6:00 position.

17. Overfi re pressure tapping

1/8” npt, with plug.

18.  Jacket cross tie

19. Sensor 

wells

Boiler limit temperature sensor and P/T gauge capillary and tem-
perature sensor are installed in the top of the rear section.

20. Outlet 

tapping

The boiler outlet water tapping is located in the top of the rear 
section.

21. Return 

tapping

The boiler return tapping is located in the bottom of the rear 
section.

22. Insulation 

blanket

23. Leveling 

legs 

24.  Boiler drain valve

25.   Flue connection

®

 boilers can be chimney or direct vented from the rear 

fl ue opening.

26.  Knockouts in jacket rear for electrical conduits

All electrical connections enter in conduits connected to these 
knockouts.

27.  Boiler relief valve

28. AFM 

(

Advanced Features Module

) — 

Optional

The 

®

 boiler can be equipped with the Advanced Features 

Module (AFM). The AFM is a system control that provides boiler 
outdoor reset, a boiler setpoint temperature, domestic hot water 
pump operation, and outdoor reset through the use of a mixing 
valve or a variable speed injection pump. It also controls staging 
and rotation of two boilers.

When equipped with an AFM, the boiler requires a 20-amp 
service.

29. Temperature Limit/LWCO Control with Thermal 

Targeting

TM   

The Ultra Oil boiler is equipped with a Hydro-

level 3250 HydroStat®, LWCO and temperature limit control 
with energy saving technology. The 3250 senses the presences 
of water, water temperature and monitors calls for heat and 
activates the boiler pump and circulator. The control  logic will 
delay pump or burner operation and adjust them for the target 
water temperature to optimize effi ciency.

30. 

Burner, with cover

31.  Jacket front panel
