4 Dual Fuel Boiler Operation
Overview
The P-K MACH
®
dual fuel boilers with NURO
®
controls feature two independent gas trains. One gas
train is designed exclusively for operation with Natural Gas and the other gas train is designed
exclusively for operation with Propane Gas. Refer to the labels on the dual fuel boiler for the proper
location of the Natural Gas and Propane Gas trains. Also, Section
locations of the gas trains for each boiler model.
In addition, the P-K MACH
®
dual fuel boilers with NURO
®
controls feature a fuel selector switch inside
the boiler’s enclosure. To access the fuel selector switch, open the front door while the boiler is in
“Standby”. Refer to Sections
