CHAPTER 2.
INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Chapter provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install
the AERCO Benchmark Boiler Model BMK 2500 and BMK 3000.
2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT
Each Benchmark Boiler System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weight for these
BMK models is approximately
2200 pounds. The unit must be moved with the proper rigging
equipment for safety and to avoid equipment damage. The unit should be completely inspected
for evidence of shipping damage and shipment completeness at the time of receipt from the
carrier and before the bill of lading is signed.
NOTE
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit
has a Tip-N-Tell indicator on the outside of the crate. This
indicates if the unit has been turned on its side during shipment. If
the Tip-N-Tell indicator is tripped, do not sign for the shipment.
Note the information on the carrier’s paperwork and request a
freight claim and inspection by a claims adjuster before
proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials
should also be made clear to the delivering carrier.
2.3 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure when cutting away
packaging materials
After unpacking, a close inspection of the unit should be made to ensure that there is no
evidence of damage not indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. The freight carrier should be
notified immediately if any damage is detected.
The following accessories come standard with each unit and are either packed separately within
the unit’s shipping container or are factory installed on the unit:
•
Pressure/Temperature Gauge
•
ASME Pressure Relief Valve
•
Condensate Drain Trap (part no. 24060)
•
2” Gas Supply Shutoff Valve
When optional accessories are ordered, they may be packed within the unit’s shipping
container, factory installed on the unit, or packed and shipped in a separate container. Any
standard or optional accessories shipped loose should be identified and stored in a safe place
until ready for installation or use.
