but not related to personal injury hazards.
NOTICE
This boiler has a limited warranty, a copy of which is printed on the back of this manual.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are
operating properly when the installation is complete. The warranty for this boiler is valid only if the boiler has
been installed, maintained and operated in accordance with these instructions.

DANGER
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WARNING
Improperinstallation,adjustment,alteration,serviceormaintenancecancausepropertydamage,personal
injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or
death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers
manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or
servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance
for reference by owner and service technician.
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained
in this manual.
Installation,maintenance,andservicemustbeperformedonlybyanexperienced,skilledandknowledgeable
installer or service agency.
All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in
the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are
operating properly when the installation is completed.
Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the specified tapping on the
supply manifold located on top and at rear of appliance - See Section III, Paragraph R, Item ꢀ of this
manual for details.
All boiler builds, except boilers bearing the UL Label, are suitable for installation on combustible flooring.
Do not install boiler on carpeting. Do not operate on floors where heat affected material is below.
Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or controls. Retain your contractor or a competent serviceman to
assure that the unit is properly adjusted and maintained.
Clean boiler at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season to remove soot and scale.
The inside of the combustion chamber should also be cleaned and inspected at the same time.
Have Burner and Controls checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated. Do not operate
unit with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices. Do not operate unit if any control, switch,
component, or device has been subject to water.
This boiler is designed to operate with lower return water temperatures and avoid thermal shock and
accumulation of condensate if operated per the following criteria:
• Minimum Return Water Temperature = 80°F
• Maximum Delta T Between Boiler Supply and Return = 80°F
• Minimum Supply Water Temperature = 1ꢀ0°F
Continued operation beyond these limitations will result in sustained condensing within the combus-
tion chamber and potentially reduce boiler longevity and may result in premature boiler failure through
thermal shock.

WARNING
Appliance materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy
metals, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which
can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when
servicing or working nearby the appliance.
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings nor attempt
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this
boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the
temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when
the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.
This appliance must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition.
Do not operate boiler with the absence of an approved vent system.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
The interior of the venting and air intake systems must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the
heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.
Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could
cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efficiency.
This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without
service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in
cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent
damage if the boiler is inoperative.
This boiler is designed to burn No. ꢂ fuel oil only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil
containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to any solid fuel (i.e.
wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All flammable debris, rags, paper,
wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of
fire hazards.
Always keep the oil supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices require annual inspection and maintenance. Refer to
instructions in Section VI, Paragraph C for inspection and cleaning instructions.
NOTICE
Model MPC cast iron boilers are designed, built, marked and tested in accordance with the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, Heating Boilers. An ASME Data Label is factory applied to each MPC
jacket, which indicates the boiler Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP). Each cast iron section is
permanently marked with the MAWP listed on the boiler’s ASME Data Label. This value for the MPC is as
follows:
MAWP, Water (USA and Canada) - 80 PSI
It is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below the boiler
MAWP. Therefore, Burnham offers safety relief valves set at or below the MAWP of the boiler. See Page 1ꢂ
for available safety relief valve set pressures.

5. CHIMNEY OR VENT (Be sure to read below
WARNINGS.)
The Model MPC™ Series boiler is designed
for forced draft firing and may be used with a
conventional natural draft stack (15’ minimum
height) or a stub vent, sometimes called a diesel
stack (see Figure 3a). See Table I for the
Figure ꢀa: MPC with Rear Outlet Vent
be used to prevent flue by-product leakage. The
vent height is usually limited to prevent negative
draft, typically three (3) feet above the roof line
(see Figure 3a). The damper shall be adjusted to
maintain a positive pressure of 0.1” W.C. at the flue
outlet during burner high fire operation.
proper vent outlet size. For low silhouette vent
terminations, see Figure 3b. Draft controls are not
normally required, although they may be used on
installations where a natural draft stack is used or on
multiple boiler installations with a common stack.
For proper operation, boiler must maintain positive
pressure of 0.1” W.C. at the breech in the cast iron
flue collector during burner high fire operation (see
breeching pressure sensing port in Figure 1b). To
obtain the above, a factory supplied MPC Flue
Outlet Damper Assembly (see Page 56 for details)
must be attached directly to the Rear Flue Collector
Outlet.
If the venting system is designed for negative
pressure (natural draft), the boiler still operates
with positive pressure in the chamber and up to
the fixed damper on the flue collar. However, if
the venting system is larger than what is required,
the stack will provide a surplus draft (or negative
pressure) that may require the use of a barometric
damper to maintain the positive 0.1” W.C. pressure
at the flue outlet. Multiple forced draft boiler stacks
should always be designed as negative to ensure the
products of combustion do not exit a boiler that is
not firing.
If the venting system is designed for positive or
forced draft venting, the boiler, vent connector and
stack will operate under positive pressure. Gas tight
vent systems designed for pressure systems must
NOTICE
When an MPC gas fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate
under a negative pressure, the use of Type B, or other manufactured vent systems designed for
negative pressure is acceptable.
When an MPC oil fired or combination gas/oil fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is
designed so that it will operate under a negative pressure, the use of Type L or other manufactured
vent systems designed for negative pressure is acceptable.
Unlined masonry chimneys are not acceptable. Lined masonry chimneys are acceptable with the
appropriate vent connectors using materials described above.
MPC oil or combination gas/oil boilers should be vented using Type L vent, regardless if the vent
pressure is positive or negative.
15
WARNING
Single wall Type C vent material is not approved for MPC boiler venting. When an MPC gas fired boiler
is connected to a venting system that is designed so that it will operate under a negative pressure,
manufactured vent systems, designed and approved for positive pressure application per UL17ꢀ8,
must be used (for example, Van-Packer Model CS, Protech Model FasNSeal / FasNSeal Wꢂ, Heatfab
Saf-T-Vent or equivalent).
When an MPC oil fired or combination gas/oil fired boiler is connected to a venting system that is
designed so that it will operate under a positive pressure, manufactured vent systems, designed and
approved for positive pressure application, must be used (for example, Selkirk Metalbestos Model PS/
IPS, Van-Packer Model ES or equivalent).
Typical Vents that are used on Forced Draft Boilers, on Low Silhouette Buildings

fAULTY BOiLER BURNER OPERATiON
1. If improper vent is suspected, remove pipe at breeching and operate boiler. This will determine if excessive
down draft, blocked or restricted flue, etc. is causing the problem.
2. If using type shown in A above, be sure cap is raised sufficiently above main pipe to allow flue gases to vent
unimpeded.
3. A popular type cap is shown in B.
4. The tee is frequently used as shown in C.
5. D and E should not be used due to possible fluctuations in back pressure.

WARNING
Venting Instructions are recommendations only. Consult a venting expert on the design of a specific
vent system for your application. The ASHRAE Venting Guide and The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
5ꢁ should be considered in all venting systems.
Conventional vent material may not be suitable for the application. Flue gases can leak carbon
monoxide from the joints on these materials and can result in severe personal injury or death.
Installations having long horizontal runs or an excessive amount of tees or elbows will restrict the flow
of combustion gases and can result in condensation, flue gas leakage of carbon monoxide, resulting in
severe personal injury or death.

marker to mark the rope approximately 1/8”
beyond point of overlap. Cut off excess with
scissors or utility knife and wooden cutting
block. Apply a generous bead of red sealant to
both ends of cut rope, push ends together and
smooth excess sealant over joint with your finger.
B. FIELD ASSEMBLED SECTIONS - If the boiler was
ordered knockdown, to be field assembled, follow the
assembly procedure outlined on the following pages.
1. ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (MANUAL DRAW-
UP)
These sections are designed to be drawn together
one section at a time using the Manual Draw-up Kit
(Burnham P/N 102008-01 or P/N 102008-02) using
ordinary hand tools.
WARNING
Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler
joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints
will result in combustion gas leaks through the
joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion
gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before
each section is placed on the assembly.
Tools required:
(1) ¾” Drive Ratchet
(1) 1¼” Socket
(1) 1¼” Combination or Open End Wrench
(1) Can Thread Cutting Oil or Grease
step g. Use the Loctite #592 lubricant supplied to
lubricate the nipples and nipple ports. Apply
the lubricant to the nipples and nipple ports,
then use a brush to disperse it evenly around the
nipples and nipple ports. Use approximately 20
ml of lubricant per flueway [(1) 7” and (1) 3”
nipple and their corresponding nipple ports - (2)
in the rear section and (2) in the next adjoining
section].
WHEN ASSEMBLING SECTIONS WITHOUT
HYDRAULIC DRAW-UP EQUIPMENT, IT
IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONE SECTION
BE ASSEMBLED AT A TIME. NEVER
ASSEMBLE MORE THAN TWO SECTIONS
AT A TIME.
Assembly Procedure (refer to Figure 5 for Exploded
View of Block Assembly and Draw-up Hardware):
step h. Drive nipples squarely into section using
block of wood and hammer, or preferably, an
aluminum head hammer. Burnham offers a
polyethylene block for setting the nipples (part
no. 8052601). Place block over entire nipple
edge and hit the wood or polyethylene block
with the hammer.
step a. Place the rear section in its approximate
final position, as outlined in Section I. Stand rear
section up and brace in vertical position with a
suitable prop. See Figure 6.
step b. Clean the rope groove around perimeter of
the rear section with a wire brush.
step c. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s),
marked ‘BAC’ and remove contents. Separate
the items by type. There are two (2) different
pre-cut lengths of the red silicone coated
NOTICE
Nipples must be driven in evenly and to the
proper depth to assure tight joints. Most nipple
leaks are caused by tilted or cocked nipples.
fiberglass rope. The combustion chamber rope is
86” long and the perimeter rope is 164” long.
DO NOT use steel/iron head hammer to drive
nipples without using a wood or polyethylene
block. Nipple damage may result.
step d. Using the multi-purpose spray adhesive
provided, apply the adhesive to the perimeter
rope groove. Follow the directions on the can
for application and tack time. GREAT CARE
MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT
THE ADHESIVE DOES NOT COME
IN CONTACT WITH THE MACHINED
NIPPLE PORTS.
step i. A special nipple setting gauge is provided
for the nipples. Gauge nipple at 90° angles to
insure that it is driven to the proper depth into
the nipple opening (nipple port). Cut-out in
gauge must rest on nipple, with the legs of the
gauge touching finished face of section, when
nipple is properly driven. See Figure 7.
step e. While the adhesive is becoming tacky, clean
the nipples ports and nipples thoroughly with a
de-greasing solvent.
step j. Apply a generous bead of RTV 6500 or RTV
736 sealant to the (4) flueway sealing grooves on
rear section. Sealant should start against the rope
gasket, run across the groove in one continuous
bead, and end against rope gasket at the opposite
side. Refer to Figure 5.
step f. Locate a 164” length of silicone coated
fiberglass rope and 10.3 oz. cartridge of RTV
6500 or RTV 736 Red Silicone Sealant. Starting
at 3 o’clock position, push rope into groove and
continue around perimeter until rope overlaps
the starting point. Rope should be approximately

step n. DRAW UP SECTION SLOWLY
AND EVENLY. When you start, machined
surfaces between adjoining sections should
be approximately 3/8” to 1/2” apart. The 7”
nipple will pull harder than the 3” nipple. If
two (2) people are pulling simultaneously,
stop periodically to verify that gaps between
adjoining sections are equal at both nipple
ports. If not, pull the nipple with the larger
gap until equal before proceeding. Continue
draw-up, paying close attention to the nipple
lubricant as it squeezes when the sections come
in close contact. The lubricant should continue
to squeeze out until the sections are connected
metal to metal at the designated inspection
pads shown in Figure 8. if the sections still
do not appear to be drawn metal to metal,
use the feeler gauge provided to measure any
gaps at the locations identified in figure 8.
(Unless specified otherwise, gaps should be only
measured at these locations). A maximum gap
of .025”.
WARNING
This is a forced draft fired boiler and sealant must
be applied where specified for proper and safe
performance. BurnhamCommercialhasapproved
section joint sealants (silastics) manufactured
by Dow-Corning under the product number RTV
7ꢀ6, and Sil-Bond under the product number RTV
6500.
WARNING
Sections must be drawn-up tight immediately
after properly applying sealant for best results.
Although sections may be joined within two
(ꢂ) hours of applying sealant, humidity and
temperature affect cure time. If a “thick skin” has
been formed on the sealant bead, remove and re-
apply sealant.
step k. Position the next adjoining section to be
assembled, so that the side with the sealing
tongue around the combustion chamber and
perimeter is facing the mating side of the rear
section. Sections must always be assembled
so that the rope groove on one section mates
to the sealing tongue on the next section in the
assembly.
KEEP NIPPLES ALIGNED WITH NIPPLE
PORTS. If necessary, tap edge of nipples lightly
with a blunt tool or rod to keep nipples from
cocking while sections are being drawn-up.
DO NOT DRAW UP SECTION WHEN
NIPPLES ARE COCKED. If the torque
required becomes excessive, periodically place a
heavy block of wood over each nipple port and
strike as squarely as possible with several blows
to relieve tension on the draw-up rods.
step l. Clean and lubricate the nipple ports on the
mating (tongue) side of the adjoining section.
Place the nipple ports of the adjoining section
onto the nipples previously installed in the rear
section. To facilitate assembly, it is advisable
to enter the upper nipple first in its port. Then
enter the lower nipple in it’s respective port. If
necessary, place a lifting bar (crowbar) under the
center of the section and lift the nipple port onto
the upper nipple. Drive section in place with a
heavy block of wood, striking blows as squarely
as possible over nipple ports.
step o. Remove Draw-up Rod Assemblies and set
aside.
step p. Prepare center section on block assembly
to receive next casting, see Figure 5. Clean the
rope grooves around the combustion chamber
and perimeter of the section with a wire brush.
Repeat Step ‘d’ through step ‘p’ with the
following exceptions:
•
During Step ‘d’ procedure, apply multi-
purpose spray adhesive to combustion
chamber rope groove as well as perimeter
groove.
step m. From Manual Draw-up Kit, locate and
assemble two (2) sets that include a ¾” x 23”
lg. threaded rod, 6½” dia. pressure plate, ¾”
flat washer and ¾” hex nut as shown in Figure
5. Insert one assembly through each of the 3”
and 4” NPT bosses on rear section until pressure
plate is tight against the boss. Locate and place
the 8¾” dia. pressure plate on the opposite end
of threaded rod in upper nipple port. Place
remaining 6½” dia. pressure plate on rod
protruding through lower nipple port. Install a
¾” washer, ¾” coupling spacer, ¾” washer and
¾” hex nut on each rod. Center upper pressure
plates on nipple port and boss while tightening
nut until tension holds assembly in place. Repeat
for lower assembly. Refer to Figure 5 to verify
proper arrangement.
•
During Step ‘e’ procedure, locate 86”
length of red silicone coated fiberglass rope.
Starting at 9 o’clock position, push rope into
groove and continue around combustion
chamber until rope overlaps starting point.
Mark joint, cut-off excess and seal joint per
instructions.
•
During Step ‘j’ procedure, apply sealant to
the (6) flueway sealing grooves on the center
section.
BE SURE TO APPLY THE SILICONE
COATED FIBERGLASS ROPE AND
SEALANT to the grooved joints between
ꢂ1
adjacent sections as the boiler operates with a
positive pressure in the firebox and products of
combustion will escape between sections unless
they are properly sealed. The rope and sealant
should be applied before each section is placed
on the assembly.
All casting legs have two (2) holes. Slide the
lower retention rods through the upper hole in
each leg. Start at the front or rear, which ever is
easiest, per the arrangement shown in Table VI.
With the rods in place, install a 5/8” flat washer
and 5/8” hex nut on each rod protruding through
the front legs. On 8 through 18 section block
assemblies, additional rods and couplings nuts
are required to span the distance. On these larger
sizes, thread couplings on front rods to mid point
of coupling (halfway), pull next rod forward to
meet front coupling. Hold front coupling, not
front rod, while threading rear rod into coupling
nut until it contacts front rod at mid point.
NOTICE
As assembled length increases, use ꢀ/ꢁ” coupling
nuts and additional rods, provided in Kit, to extend
draw-up rod length.
step q. CONTINUE ASSEMBLING SECTIONS
IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ORDER until the
block assembly is complete. Be certain that all
sections are drawn up iron-to-iron at both nipple
ports.
Repeat this process until both lower rods
protrude through rear section legs. In the
following order, place a 5/8” flat washer, 5/8”
tension spring and 5/8” hex nut on both rods.
Hand tighten rear nut only to remove all slack
from the lower rod assemblies. Use a torque
wrench adjusted for 20 ft/lb of torque to tighten
four (4) rear hex nuts. In lieu of a torque
wrench, use a combination wrench to tighten
nuts approximately ¾ turn beyond hand tight, to
set tension.
DO NOT REMOVE the draw-up tool, leave
it under tension until the retention rods are in
place.
step r. Locate the threaded 5/8” retention rods,
washers, tension springs and nuts supplied
in Boiler Assembly Carton marked ‘BAC’.
Assemble both top retention rod assemblies as
shown in Figure 5, Detail B, using the proper
arrangement per Table VI. The tension spring
should always be located at the rear of the boiler.
These rod assemblies can be lowered directly
into slotted lugs on each side of the upper nipple
port. Hand tighten the rear nuts only, do not
torque nut at this time.
Excess length of draw-up rods must not extend
beyond front and rear section to ensure proper fit
of jacket, adjust accordingly.
step s. Release tension on Manual Draw-up
Assemblies and remove.
Now proceed to Step C of this Section on Page
24, Hydrostatic Test.

2. ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (hYDRAULic
DRAW-UP)
• MPC4 through MPC12 Section Assemblies
The entire assemblage may be drawn-up at one time
using the hydraulic draw-up equipment providing
the operation is completed within two (2) hours after
the sealant was applied to the first casting in the
assembly. If time limit is reached, draw-up partial
section assembly before continuing.
NOTICE
As assembled length increases, use ꢀ/ꢁ” coupling
nuts and additional rods, provided in Kit, to extend
draw-up rod length.
Slide ¾” washer, hydraulic ram and second ¾”
washer over each rod assembly. Remove all
slack from assemblies and apply draw-up rod
clamps.
• MPC13 through MPC18 Section Assemblies
The total assemblage should be first drawn-up into
two (2) sub-assemblies. Each sub-assembly may be
drawn-up at one time using the hydraulic draw-up
equipment providing the operation is completed
within two (2) hours after the sealant was applied to
the first casting in the sub-assembly. No more than
12 sections should be drawn up at one time.
Center upper pressure plates on nipple port and
boss while pumping ram set until tension holds
assembly in place. Repeat for lower assembly.
Refer to Figure 5 to verify proper arrangement.
“Hydraulic Draw-Up Tool Kit” is available through
Burnham by ordering part number 101904-01.
CAUTION
Rods should be approximately centered in
openings so that rods and couplings (when
used) do not drag on pipe thread in end section
tappings.
Step a. Repeat Step ‘a’ through Step ‘l’ under
“Field Assembled Sections (Manual Draw-Up)”.
step b. Continue driving sections in place (in their
respective order) until all sections are in the
assemblage. Ground surfaces between adjoining
sections should be spaced 3/8” to 1/2” apart.
Spacing of more than 1/2” will limit number of
sections that can be drawn up in one unit and
could indicate cocked nipples.
WARNING
READ THE STATEMENTS BELOW BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO USE HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT.
•
Release pressure in ram pumps before
attempting to remove clamps.
WARNING
•
Do not stand in line with draw-up rods at
either end when hydraulic pressure is being
applied. As a safety measure, ends of draw-
up rods should be covered while sections are
being drawn in case rods should snap while
under tension.
Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler
joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints
will result in combustion gas leaks through the
joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion
gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before
each section is placed on the assembly.
•
Do not operate ram against draw-up coupling.
On long boiler assemblies, it may be necessary
to draw up a partial block if the entire boiler is not
ready to be drawn up tight within two (2) hours
of the first application of the Silastic. If the block
assembly time extends overnight, the partial block
completed must be drawn up tight before leaving
the boiler overnight. If a joint springs apart, it
must be re-drawn tight within two (2) hours of first
application of Silastic to the joint.
Do not operate pump after ram has reached
stroke limit.
•
step d. Draw-up Sections
Use hydraulic rams to draw up sections by
applying pressure alternately on the draw-up
rods. When rams reach stroke limit, release
pressure in ram pumps and then move clamps to
new position.
step c. From the Hydraulic Draw-up Kit, locate and
assemble one (1) set of draw-up assemblies that
each include ¾” x 23” lg. threaded rod(s), ¾”
coupling nut(s) (if applicable), the appropriate
pressure plate, washer and ¾” hex nut as shown
in Figure 5. Insert one (1) assembly through
each of the 3” and 4” NPT bosses on rear section
until pressure plate is tight against the boss.
Locate and place the 8¾” dia. pressure plate on
step e. Continue to draw-up until all sections make
contact at the ground joints.
If the sections still do not appear to be drawn
metal to metal, use feeler gauge provided to
measure any gaps at the locations identified in
Figure 8. (Unless specified otherwise, gaps
should be measured at these locations). A
maximum gap of .025” is acceptable.
ꢂꢀ
Excess length of draw-up rods must not extend
beyond front and rear section to ensure proper fit
of jacket, adjust accordingly.
step f. After all sections have been drawn up,
retention rods must be installed. Do not release
hydraulic pressure until the retention rods are in
place.
step h. Release tension on hydraulic pumps and
step g. Locate the threaded 5/8” retention rods,
washers, tension springs and nuts supplied in
‘BAC’ Boiler Assembly Carton. Assemble both
top retention rod assemblies as shown in Figure
5, Detail B, using the proper arrangement per
Table VI. The tension spring should always
be located at the rear of the boiler. These rod
assemblies can be lowered directly into slotted
lugs on each side of the upper nipple port. Hand
tighten the rear nuts only, do not torque nut at
this time.
rams and remove.
c. HYDROSTATIC TEST - After the boiler sections
have been assembled, it is essential that the boiler
be hydrostatically tested before the jacket frame,
insulation, internal wiring, piping or jacket is installed.
THIS TEST IS AN ASME CODE REQUIREMENT.
1. Block Assembly must be free of air, provide valve in
4” bushing on top supply tapping to purge air during
the filling process. Plug all boiler tappings and fill
entirely with cold water.
All casting legs have two (2) holes. Slide the
lower retention rods through the upper hole in
each leg. Start the front or rear, which ever is
easiest, per the arrangement shown in Table VI.
With the rods in place, install a 5/8” flat washer
and 5/8” hex nut on each rod protruding through
the front legs. On 8 through 18 section block
assemblies, additional rods and couplings nuts
are required to span the distance. On these larger
sizes, thread couplings on front rods to mid point
of coupling (halfway), pull next rod forward to
meet front coupling. Hold front coupling, not
front rod, while threading rear rod into coupling
nut until it contacts front rod at mid point.
CAUTION
DO NOT install gauge until after hydrostatic
testing the boiler. Gauge failure may result.
2. Assembled boilers shall be subjected to a hydrostatic
test of not less than 1½ times the maximum
allowable working pressure, as established by the
relief valve supplied with the boiler. For example, a
boiler with a 50 psi relief valve must be subjected to
a test pressure of 75 psig to 85 psig.
WARNING
Failure to properly hydrotest all boilers at the
correct pressure may result in section assembly
failure in operation.
Repeat this process until both lower rods
protrude through rear section legs. In the
following order, place a 5/8” flat washer, 5/8”
tension spring and 5/8” hex nut on both rods.
Hand tighten rear nut only to remove all slack
from the lower rod assemblies. Use a torque
wrench adjusted for 20 ft/lb of torque to tighten
four (4) rear hex nuts. In lieu of a torque
wrench, use a combination wrench to tighten
nuts approximately ¾ turn beyond hand tight, to
set tension.
3. EXAMINE BOILER CAREFULLY, INSIDE
AND OUTSIDE, to insure against leaks from
cocked nipples or through concealed breakage
caused in shipping and handling. This precaution
is for your protection and will simplify handling of
necessary replacements and adjustment claims.
4. After making certain that there are no leaks, drain
boiler and remove plugs from boiler trim and other
connections.

Important Product Safety Information
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
Warning:
The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers
(RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When
exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact,
RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a
result of servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled,
may be hazardous to your health.
AVOID Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust
Precautionary Measures:
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work
involving RCF without wearing the following protective gear:
1. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
approved respirator
2. Long sleeved, loose fitting clothing
3. Gloves
4. Eye Protection
• Take steps to assure adequate ventilation.
• Wash all exposed body areas gently with soap and water after contact.
• Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing
machine after use to avoid contaminating other clothes.
• Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag. RCF
and crystalline silica are not classified as hazardous wastes in the United
States and Canada.
First Aid Procedures:
• If contact with eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If contact with skin: Wash affected area gently with soap and water.
Seek immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If breathing difficulty develops: Leave the area and move to a location
with clean fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing
difficulties persist.
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Seek
immediate medical attention.

(4) points of internal contact around perimeter of BSD
and Front Section. These stop the door travel when
tightening hardware to prevent excess compression
of rope gasket. Therefore, continued tightening of
hardware will only bend the hinge pockets. Use a hand
wrench to tighten the hardware. Use an alternating
tightening method from right side to left side cap
screws to secure door until sealed without applying
Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could cause
thread damage, a crack in the casting or a leak in the

SECTION IV - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. PAcKAGED BOiLER
WARNING
1. The packaged boiler comes on its own shipping
skid (see Figure 48) and the assembled block is
hydrostatically tested at the factory. Once the boiler
is in its final position, PERFORM ANOTHER
HYDROSTATIC TEST AT 1½ TIMES THE
WORKING PRESSURE OF THE BOILER (see
Section II, Paragraph C). The shipping skid can be
used as a housekeeping pad unless local codes say
otherwise. Most controls are pre-wired down to the
burner. If burner is equipped with a lead lag panel,
lead lag controls will be shipped loose for header
mounting. The power can be supplied to the burner
if equipped with a control panel. If burner has no
panel, the power must be supplied to a junction box
near the front of the boiler.
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in
improper, unsafe system operation and void
manufacturer’s warranty.
DO NOT improperly pipe boiler.
WARNING
All hot water pipes must have clearances of at
least 1/ꢂ” from all combustible construction.
WARNING
A hot water boiler installed above radiation level
must be provided with a low water cutoff device
as part of the installation.
2. If the boiler burner unit was factory fire tested,
the burner was adjusted to approximately 10.2%
CO2 (gas) or 13.2% CO2 (oil) with an overfire
pressure as listed in Table II of this manual. Final
adjustments should be made once the unit is
installed.

6ꢂ
a. Temperature and Flow Requirements – An
existing parallel piping system may be used,
provided the return water is not below 80°F and
the return water temperature is not more than
80°F less than the boiler outlet temperature. A
flow analysis should be performed to determine
the flow through the boiler when the minimum
(and smallest) and maximum number of zones
are activated.
Sufficient flow through the boiler must be
maintained. The recommended maximum
temperature difference between the boiler supply
and return water is 40°F. However, a maximum
delta T of 80°F across the boiler is allowable.
A minimum boiler supply water temperature of
130°F must be maintained to avoid sustained
condensing within the combustion chamber.
b. Primary/Secondary Piping - If the conditions
above cannot be met, then parallel piping
systems must be converted to an arrangement
that will provide the proper water flow through
the boiler at the proper temperatures. Primary/
Secondary piping is a common method for
isolating the boiler from the system. The
concept must be for the boiler loop to inject
heat into a primary loop, provided the return
water into the boiler is at least 80°F. A by-pass
containing two closely spaced tees must be
installed to de-couple the boiler loop from the
primary loop (see Figure 51). The converted
system should resemble Figure 52. Care must
be taken to avoid dead heading the system pump.
Conversions should be reviewed and approved
by a Consulting Engineer or other qualified
professional to avoid system deficiencies.
Figure 5ꢂ: Typical Burnham Boiler -
Primary - Secondary Loop System
c. Alternate Piping Arrangements - Piping
arrangements other than Parallel and Primary/
Secondary, such as System Bypass, are
acceptable as long as they ensure that the flow
and temperature requirements of the boiler are
met.
d. Glycol Antifreeze Solutions - Many systems
today use ethylene or propylene glycol antifreeze
solutions as a measure for freeze protection, as
well as a pump lubricator and corrosion inhibitor.
The properties of the glycol mixture have an
impact on valve and pump sizing. All glycol
solutions have a lower specific heat than water.
This means that the glycol solution cannot
transfer heat as well as pure water, resulting in
the need for higher flow rates. In addition, the
viscosity of the glycol solution is usually higher
than water, requiring a higher pump head for the
same given flow. Consult factory for specific
applications, pump selection and flow rate.
e. If this boiler is used in connection with refriger-
ation systems, the boiler must be installed so that
the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the
heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent
the chilled medium from entering the boiler. See
Figure 53.
Figure 51: Parallel Piping Conversion
Multiple boilers are installed the same as single
boiler installations. Each boiler loop will contain
its own boiler circulator (see Figure 49b).
The boiler circulator selection will maintain a
constant and minimum flow through the boiler
during every heat demand. The circulator
must be properly selected, based on the design
temperature between the boiler supply and boiler
return. A boiler circulator must be used with a
primary/secondary piping arrangement.

Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) Systems

NOTICE
When possible, domestic hot water production should utilize dedicated boiler(s). This will allow the other
boiler(s) to be shut down and isolated during the summer months. If the boiler load is shared between
heating and domestic hot water, then one needs to determine if a hot water priority is required. If a priority
is not selected, erratic domestic hot water production may result during the beginning and end of every
heating season. Conversely, a priority for domestic hot water production may cause a significant heating
zone activation delay, in an improperly balanced system. Parallel piping conversions may require isolation
from the heating system to prevent system flow influence on DHW performance. Consult a qualified system
heating professional to design for the proper application.

(DhW) APPLicATiON – The MPC boiler can be
used in many different piping applications to produce
Domestic Hot Water (DHW). In some applications,
depending on the control strategy (outdoor reset,
setpoint operation, etc.) and size of the boiler, it is
recommended to isolate the space heating load from the
DHW load. For example, if the domestic load is more
than the space heating load, it is beneficial to dedicate
one or more boilers solely to DHW production and one
or more boilers solely to space heating, since during
mild weather conditions, the boiler(s) will have more
capacity than is required. Piped in the recommended
manner, the space heating boiler(s) can be shut down
during the summer months to conserve energy and to
avoid short cycling.
NOTICE
DO NOT use the boiler circulator as an indirect
domestic hot water system circulator.

these applications, because they provide both high

WARNING
WARNING
Chemicals used in treating boiler water are
toxic and/or harmful. Always use protective
clothing and equipment when working with/
near chemicals. Contact local authorities
to determine if treated boiler water can be
discharged into local waste water system.
Before installation of the boiler is considered
complete, the operation of the boiler controls
should be checked, particularly the low water
cutoff and the high limit control.
1. CHECK OPERATING CONTROL OPERATION.
Raise and lower operating control setting as required
to start and stop burner.
1. Filling of Boiler and System --- General --- In a hot
water heating system, the boiler and entire system
(other than the expansion tank) must be full of water
for satisfactory operation. Water should be added to
the system until the boiler pressure gauge registers
normal system design operating pressure. To insure
that the system is full, water should come out of all
air vents when opened.
2. CHECK OPERATION OF HIGH LIMIT
CONTROL.
Jumper operating control terminals. Allow burner to
operate until shutdown by limit. Installation is not
considered complete until this check has been made.
REMOvE JUMPER.
2. Boiling Out of Boiler and System. The oil and
grease which accumulate in a new hot water boiler
can be washed out in the following manner.
3. CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF CONTROL
Raise operating control setting to allow burner to
operate. Close isolation valves in supply and return
near boiler piping. Open boiler drain to allow water
level to drop until burner operation is shut down by
low water cutoff. If necessary, open relief valve for
air to facilitate draining.
a. Remove safety relief valve using extreme care to
avoid damaging it.
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended
boilout compound.
c. Reinstall safety relief valve.
Close boiler drain and refill boiler. Burner should
automatically restart during fill, unless low water
cutoff control requires manual reset. Close relief
valve when water flows out discharge piping.
OPEN sUPPLY AND RETURN isOLATiON
vALvEs.
d. Fill the entire system with water.
e. Start firing the boiler.
f. Circulate the water through the entire system.
g. Vent the system, including the radiation.
h. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
REsET OPERATiNG cONTROL.
i. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
j. Stop firing the boiler.
CAUTION
k. Drain the system in a manner and to a location
that hot water can be discharged with safety.
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices
require annual inspection and maintenance.
l. Remove plugs from all available returns and
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.
Refer to Section VI step (C) for proper cleaning
instructions.
m. Refill the system with fresh water.
f. BOiLER AND sYsTEM cLEANiNG (water side)
3. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds
as recommended by your local qualified water
treatment company.
NOTICE
4. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
A qualified water treatment chemical specialist
should be consulted for recommendations
regarding appropriate chemical compounds and
concentrations which are compatible with local
environmental regulations.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and
refilled as previously described, test the pH of
the water in the system. This can easily be done
by drawing a small sample of boiler water and
testing with hydrion paper which is used in the
same manner as litmus paper, except it gives
specific readings. A color chart on the side of the
small hydrion dispenser gives the reading in pH.
Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable from
any chemical supply house or through your local
druggist.
66
h. OXYGEN cORROsiON:
The pH should be higher than 7 but lower than 11.
Add some appropriate water treatment chemicals,
if necessary, to bring the pH within the specified
range. With this lower level of protection, care must
be exercised to eliminate all of the free oxygen in
the system.
WARNING
Oxygen contamination of the boiler water
will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler
components, and can lead to boiler failure.
Burnham’s standard warranty does not cover
problems caused by oxygen contamination of
boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by
frequent addition of water.
5. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
G. fREQUENT WATER ADDiTiON
IMPORTANT
IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS NECES-
SARY TO ADD WATER MORE FREQUENTLY
THAN ONCE A MONTH, CONSULT A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK YOUR
SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.
There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result of
system leaks.
b. Absorption through open tanks and fittings.
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler which can significantly
shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make-up
water are dissolved minerals and oxygen. When the
fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler the
minerals fall out as sediment and the oxygen escapes
as a gas. Both can result in reduced boiler life. The
accumulation of sediment can eventually isolate
the water from contacting the cast iron. When this
happens the cast iron in that area gets extremely hot
and eventually cracks. The presence of free oxygen in
the boiler creates a corrosive atmosphere which, if the
concentration becomes high enough, can corrode the
cast iron through from the waterside. Since neither of
these failure types are the result of a casting defect the
warranty does not apply. Clearly it is in everyone’s best
interest to prevent this type of failure. The maintenance
of system integrity is the best method to achieve less
makeup water.
d. Suction at pump and valve seals.
In order to ensure long product life, oxygen sources
should be eliminated. This can be accomplished by
taking the following measures:
a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for
addition of make-up water.
b. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
c. Eliminating and/or repairing fittings which allow
oxygen absorption.
d. Use of non-permeable materials in the distribution
system.
e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.

d. Proper support - no sags, particularly in
horizontal runs.
e. Use a wire or fiber bristle brush to remove any
accumulated soot or debris from all of the flue
baffles.
e. Tightness of joints.
68
f. Use a wire or fiber bristle brush of appropriate
length and diameter to allow sufficient cleaning
of all flue passages. Using long strokes, push the
brush the whole way through the boiler and then
pull it out. Repeat this process until all surfaces
of each of the flue passages have been cleared of
all soot and debris.
CAUTION
Do not start the burner unless BSD, smokepipe,
flue clean-out covers and burner are all secured
in place.
c. MAiNTENANcE Of LOW WATER cUTOff

NOTICE
h. Use a wire or fiber bristle brush to clean all of
the surfaces of the combustion chamber and
turnaround passages to the second flue passes.
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices
require annual inspection and maintenance.
i. Vacuum all loose debris in the bottom of the
combustion chamber and in the turnaround
passages to the second flue passes.
1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF
Although these devices are solid state in their
operation, the probe is exposed to possible
contamination in the boiler water and subject to
fouling. It is important to physically remove the
probe from the boiler tapping annually and inspect
that probe for accumulation of scale or sediment.
j. Remove the flue collector clean-out covers at
the rear of the boiler by removing four (4) 5/16”
cap screws and washers. Through these clean-
out openings, vacuum all loose debris from the
bottom of the flue collector.
3. REASSEMBLE BOILER.
Follow these steps to inspect, clean and /or replace
the probe:
a. Reattach the flue collector clean-out covers to
the rear of the boiler, verifying that the silicone-
coated rope gaskets are still in satisfactory
condition. Replace the rope gaskets, if
necessary, before reassembly. Tighten the covers
snugly into place using original 5/16” hardware.
Do not over tighten.
a. Turn off electric service to the boiler.
b. Close isolation valves in supply and return near
boiler piping.
c. Drain boiler water to a level below the tapping
for the probe.
b. Insert the flue baffles into the appropriate flue
d. Disconnect wiring connections between the low
water cutoff control and the probe.
passes.
c. Inspect the insulation and silicone-coated rope
gasket on the inside of the BSD, making sure
that everything is in place and undamaged. If
the BSD insulation or rope gasket is damaged,
replace them.
DANGER
Assure that the boiler is at zero pressure before
removing the LWCO probe. Do not rely on the
pressure gauge to indicate that the boiler is at
zero pressure. Open the relief valve to relieve
all internal pressure prior to proceeding. Relief
valve discharge piping must be piped such that
the potential for burns is eliminated.
d. Carefully close the BSD and secure it in place
using the original 9/16” hardware. When
tightening the bolts, make sure that the BSD
is drawn in equally at all four corners. Use an
alternating tightening method from corner to
corner to pull the door tight equally around the
perimeter.
e. Dismount the low water cutoff control from the
probe.
f. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping.
NOTICE
g. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed
to the boiler water for a scale or sediment
buildup.
Do not overtighten. The rope gasket will provide
sufficient seal when the door is snugged in
place.
h. Light deposits may be removed by wiping the
probe with a damp cloth. Wiping the probe
with a cloth soaked in vinegar will remove more
tenacious lime deposits. The most stubborn
deposits may be removed from the probe by
using a diluted amount (3 part of water to 1 part)
of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).
e. Reinstall the burner to the BSD (if removed) and
secure it in place on its support pedestal. Inspect
the burner gasket to assure an adequate seal.
Replace it if damaged.
f. Connect the fuel lines.
g. Reattach the BSD cover panels (if provided).
69
Complete replacement mechanisms, including
necessary gaskets and installation instructions, are
available from the manufacturer.
WARNING
Exercise caution when handling phosphoric acid
and follow the instructions on container label.
Always use protective clothing and equipment
when working with/near chemicals.
D. chEcK BURNER AND cONTROLs at least once
a year. See Section V, Paragraph E under Operating
Instructions for control checks. See Burner Manual
and Table XII for recommended burner tests and
adjustments.
i. Wire brushing of the probe is not recommended
as the soft platinum guard ring sandwiched
between the ceramic insulators may be damaged.
Care must be taken not to damage this ring in
any way or the useful life of the probe may be
shortened.
E. LUBRicATE BOiLER cOMPONENTs according
to manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, this involves
the burner and circulator. This includes the type of
lubricant to use, frequency of lubrication, and points to
lubricate.
j. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove
old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.
f. GENERAL MAiNTENANcE
cONsiDERATiONs
k. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
dope to the pipe threads on the probe, leaving the
two end threads bare. Do not use PTFE (Teflon)
tape.
1. Keep radiators and convectors clean.
2. If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom but not at
the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside
and should be vented. To vent radiator, hold small
cup under air vent (located near top of radiator),
open vent until water escapes and then close.
l. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.
m. Mount the low water cutoff control on the probe.
n. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.
o. Fill the boiler.
3. If a large volume of water is added to the system, it
is advisable to heat the system to a high temperature
and vent again. This will make less venting
necessary during the winter.
p. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed.
q. Restore electric service to the boiler.
r. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a
boil to drive off free oxygen.
4. Where an expansion tank is used, make sure that
neither the tank nor its drain pipe is exposed to
freezing temperatures. Never place valves in piping
leading to or from expansion tank.
s. BEFORE RETURNING BOILER TO
SERVICE: Follow the low water cutoff check
out procedure, see Section V, Paragraph E, Item
3.
5. Boiler and system cleaning will help assure trouble
free operation. See Section V, Paragraph F, under
Operating Instructions for procedure.
2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF
During the heating season, if an external low water
cutoff is on the boiler, the blow off valve should
be opened once a month (use greater frequency
where conditions warrant), to flush out the sediment
chamber so the device will be free to function
properly.
G. ATTENTiON TO BOiLER WhiLE NOT iN
OPERATION
WARNING
Low water cutoffs should be dismantled annually by
qualified personnel, to the extent necessary to insure
freedom from obstructions and proper functioning of
the working parts. Inspect connecting lines to boiler
for accumulation of mud, scale, etc., and clean as
required. Examine all visible wiring for brittle or
worn insulation and make sure electrical contacts
are clean and that they function properly. Give
special attention to solder joints on bellows and float
when this type of control is used. Check float for
evidence of collapse and check mercury bulb (where
applicable) for mercury separation or discoloration.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MECHANISMS
IN THE FIELD.
If boiler is not used during winter time, it must be
fully drained to prevent freeze damage.
1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or
crankcase oil using a gun with an extended stem so
as to reach all corners.
2. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off
if the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
3. To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section V - Operating Instructions.

NOT APPLY TO YOU.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Applicability: The limited warranties set forth above are extended only to the
original owner at the original place of installation within the United States and
Canada. These warranties are applicable only to boilers, parts, or accessories
designated as commercial grade by Burnham Commercial and installed and
used exclusively for purposes of commercial space heating or domestic hot
water generation through a heat exchanger (or a combination for such purposes)
and do not apply to residential grade products or industrial uses.
2. Components Manufactured by Others: Upon expiration of the one year limited
warranty on commercial grade boilers, all boiler components other than heat
exchangers manufactured by others but furnished by Burnham Commercial
(such as oil burner, circulator and controls) will be subject only to the
manufacturer’s warranty, if any.
3. Proper Installation: The warranties extended by Burnham Commercial are
conditioned upon the installation of the commercial grade boiler, parts, and
accessories in strict compliance with Burnham Commercial installation
instructions. Burnham Commercial specifically disclaims liability of any kind
caused by or relating to improper installation.
4. Proper Use and Maintenance: The warranties extended by Burnham Commercial
conditioned upon the use of the commercial grade boiler, parts, and accessories
for its intended purposes and its maintenance accordance with Burnham
Commercial recommendations and hydronics industry standards. For proper
installation, use, and maintenance, see all applicable sections of the Installation
and Operating, and Service Instructions Manual furnished with the unit.
5. This warranty does not cover the following:
a. Expenses for removal or reinstallation. The owner will be responsible for
the cost of removing and reinstalling the alleged defective part or its
replacement and all labor and material connected therewith, and
transportation to and from Burnham Commercial.
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
In order to assure prompt warranty service, the owner is requested to complete
and mail the Warranty Card provided with the product or register product online
at www.burnhamcommercialcastiron.com within ten days after the installation of
the boiler, although failure to comply with this request will not void the owner’s
rights under these warranties. Upon discovery of a condition believed to be
related to a defect in material or workmanship covered by these warranties, the
owner should notify the installer, who will in turn notify the distributor. If this
action is not possible or does not produce a prompt response, the owner should
write to Burnham Commercial, P.O. Box 3939, Lancaster, PA 17604, giving full
particulars in support of the claim. The owner is required to make available for
inspection by Burnham Commercial or its representative the parts claimed to be
defective and, if requested by Burnham Commercial to ship these parts prepaid
to Burnham Commercial at the above address for inspection or repair. In
addition, the owner agrees to make all reasonable efforts to settle any
disagreement arising in connection with a claim before resorting to legal
remedies in the courts.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY
ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
b. Components that are part of the heating system but were not furnished by
Burnham Commercial as part of the commercial boiler.
c. Improper burner adjustment, control settings, care or maintenance.
d. This warranty cannot be considered as a guarantee of workmanship of an
installer connected with the installation of the Burnham Commercial boiler, or
as imposing on Burnham Commercial liability of any nature for unsatisfactory
performance as a result of faulty workmanship in the installation, which
liability is expressly disclaimed.
