This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the
instructions contained in this manual.
Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced,
skilled and knowledgeable 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.
Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the tapping
located on top left corner of front section- See Piping and Trim Sections of this manual
for details.
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.
This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible flooring. Do not install boiler on
carpeting.
Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or controls.
Inspect flueways at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season.
The inside of the combustion chamber, the vent system and boiler flueways should be
cleaned if soot or scale has accumulated.
When cleaning this boiler, do not damage combustion chamber liner and/or rear target
wall. If damaged, combustion chamber insulation must be replaced immediately.

WARNING
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.
High water temperatures increase the risk of scalding injury. If this boiler is equipped
with a tankless heater for domestic water supply, a flow regulator and automatic mixing
valve must be installed properly in tankless heater piping. See Piping and Trim
Sections of this manual for details.
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.
A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is 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. 2 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.
All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which if ignored
can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening
swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner
outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely
when service is completed.

damage.
around boiler.
1. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected
and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery
of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.
4. PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least
24” clearance from front jacket panel for servicing
and removal of front tankless heater (increase to
30" for #A54 heater). If boiler is equipped with
a rear tankless heater, provide at least 24" service
clearance on the right side of the boiler. Boiler
flueways may be cleaned either from the top or from
the right side. Provide at least 24" clearance from
either the right side of the boiler or the top of the
boiler for cleaning flueways.
2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment
must be filed immediately against the carrier by the
consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage
in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer
unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt
of goods.
B. LOCATE BOILER in front of final position before

removing crate. See Figures 1A thru 1D.
1. LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney
will be short and direct.
NOTICE
2. BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION
ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be
installed on carpeting.
Clearance to venting is for single wall vent
pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may
be reduced to the minimum required by the
vent pipe manufacturer.
3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide
a solid elevated base, such as concrete, if floor is
Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)
NOTES:
1. Listed clearances comply with American
above. Listed clearances cannot be reduced for
alcove or closet installations.
National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of
Oil Burning Equipment.
3. For reduced clearances to combustible material,
protection must be provided as described in the
above ANSI/NFPA 31 standard.
2. V8 Series boilers can be installed in rooms with
clearances from combustible material as listed
10
b. Outdoor air may be provided with the use of two
permanent openings which communicate directly
or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or
attic) freely communicating with the outdoors.
Locate one opening within 12 inches of top
of space. Locate remaining opening within 12
inches of bottom of space. Minimum dimension
of air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per
following:
C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and should
be referenced.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation
air must be provided to assure proper
combustion and to maintain safe
ambient air temperatures.
i. Direct communication with outdoors.
Minimum free area of 1 square inch per
4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment
in space.
Do not install boiler where gasoline or
other flammable vapors or liquids, or
sources of hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches,
fabric softeners, etc.) are used or
stored.
ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 1
square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of
all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional
area shall be same as opening free area.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms
communicating directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
space.
iii. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of 1
square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour input of
all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional
area shall be same as opening free area.
Volume(ft3) = Length(ft) x Width(ft) x Height(ft)
Alternate method for boiler located within
confined space. Use indoor air if two
permanent openings communicate directly
with additional space(s) of sufficient volume
such that combined volume of all spaces
meet criteria for unconfined space. Size each
opening for minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 1,000 BTU per hour input of all
equipment in spaces, but not less than 100
square inches.
2. Determine total input of all appliances in the space.
Add inputs of all appliances in the space and round
the result to the nearest 1000 BTU per hour.
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by total
input of all appliances in space. If the result is
greater than or equal to 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour,
then it is considered an unconfined space. If the
result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the
space is considered a confined space.
6. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts
4. For boiler located in an unconfined space of a
conventionally constructed building, the fresh
air infiltration through cracks around windows
and doors normally provides adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
a. All outside openings should be screened and
louvered. Screens used should not be smaller
than 1/4 inch mesh. Louvers will prevent the
entrance of rain and snow.
b. Free area requirements need to consider the
blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
protecting the openings. If the free area of the
louver or grille is not known, assume wood
louvers have 20-25 percent free area and metal
louvers and grilles have 60-75 percent free area.
5. For boiler located in a confined space or an
unconfined space in a building of unusually tight
construction, provide outdoor air.
a. Outdoor air for combustion may be provided
with an optional Burnham V8 Inlet Air
Accessory Kit, Part Number 611280031 (ONLY
AVAILABLE WITH BECKETT BURNER).
See Section VII for installation details.
c. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open
position, or interlocked with the equipment to
open automatically during equipment operation.

SECTION III: PACKAGED BOILER ASSEMBLY
A. REMOVE CRATE.
CAUTION
1. Remove all fasteners at crate skid.
2. Lift outside container and remove all other inside
protective spacers and bracing. Remove draft
regulator box and miscellaneous trim bag containing
safety or relief valve, and pipe fittings.
Do not drop boiler. Do not bump boiler
jacket against floor.
C. MOVE BOILER TO PERMANENT POSITION
by sliding or walking.
B. REMOVE BOILER FROM SKID.
D. PROCEDURE TO OPEN, CLOSE AND SECURE
BURNER SWING DOOR with articulated hinge.
Throughout this manual you will be instructed to
open and close the burner swing door for various
reasons. There is a proper and improper method to
closing and securing the burner swing door after it
has been removed and re-installed for Field Assembly
(Knockdown Boiler) or opened for inspection, cleaning
or field service.
1. Boiler is secured to base with 4 bolts, 2 in front and
2 in rear of shipping skid, see Figure 11. Remove all
bolts.
1. TO OPEN BURNER SWING DOOR (see Figures
11A and 11B).
Step 1. Loosen and remove right side latching
hardware (5/16" flange nut and washer).
Step 2. Loosen and remove left side hinge hardware
(5/16" x 3-1/2" lg. hex head flange bolt).
Step 3. The duel pivot articulated hinge allows right
side of door to be pulled outward and rotated
to the left all in one motion. To do so, place
your right hand under burner air tube and lift up
slightly to help carry the weight of the door and
burner. Use your left hand to grasp the door's
left side hinge flange, pull outward to rotate the
hinge, this motion will move the door outward
and to the left approximately 3" (see Figure 11B,
Position 2).
Figure 11: Packaged Boiler Removal from Skid
2. Tilt boiler to right and to rear. Using right rear leg
as pivot, rotate boiler 90° in a clockwise direction,
and lower left side of boiler to floor. Tilt boiler and
remove crate skid. Care should be exercised to
prevent damage to jacket or burner.
Figure 11A: Partial Front View - Burner Swing Door Mounted to Boiler - Fully Closed and Secured

27
Step 4. From this position the door can be swung
clear of the vertical circulator return piping to
provide full access to the combustion chamber
and burner head (see Figure 11B, Position 3).
Always install right side latching hardware
(5/16" flange nut and flat washer) first, then
install left side hinge hardware (5/16" x 3-
1/2" lg. hex head flange bolt) second. Apply
additional pressure while hand tightening the
hardware as far as possible, then release the
pressure.
2. Perform routine inspection, service or cleaning as
necessary.
3. To close Burner Swing Door (see Figures 11A and
11B):
NOTICE
Step 1. From the fully open position, rotate Burner
Swing Door toward the closed position. Make
sure that the articulated hinge is rotated to the
extreme left position to allow the door to clear
the vertical circulator return piping as shown in
Figure 11B, Position 2.
When securing burner swing door make
sure door is drawn-in equally on both sides.
Step 4. Use a hand wrench to tighten door hardware
and always start with the right side flange
nut first. Use an alternating tightening method
from right side flange nut to left side flange
bolt to tighten door equally until sealed without
applying excessive torque. Never tighten left
side flange bolt first or tighten either piece of
hardware 100% without using the alternating
tightening method described above.
Step 2. Grasp the door's left side hinge flange
in your left hand and place your right hand
under the burner air tube to lift upward. Lift
the door up unto the built-in cast ramp/door
rest (protruding from the bottom of the front
section casting - see Figure 11A), while rotating
the articulated hinge and door to the right and
engaging the slot (on right side of door) unto the
5/16" stud protruding from the front section.
Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could
cause thread damage to casting or a leak in the
door seal. If left side flange bolt is tightened
before right side flange nut, right side of door
can not be drawn-in to provide an air tight seal,
as shown in Figure 11C. Applying excessive
torque will only cause thread damage.
Step 3. Use one hand to help hold door in position
by lifting up on rear burner housing or applying
pressure directly to the door while re-installing
the securing hardware with your opposite hand.

Also, consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.
b. Absorption through open tanks and fittings.
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
2. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located
in air handling units where they may be exposed
to refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be
equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during the operation of
the cooling system.
2. In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources
must 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.
3. If boiler is used with an Alliance™ Indirect-Fired
Domestic Water Heater, install the Alliance™ as
a separate heating zone. Refer to the Alliance™
Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions for
additional information.
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.
4. Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated
in a system which has a large volume or excessive
radiation where low boiler water temperatures may
be encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation
system, etc.) The bypass should be the same size as
the supply and return lines with valves located in the
bypass and return line as illustrated in Figures 13A,
13B and 13C in order to regulate water flow for
maintenance of higher boiler water temperature.
e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
WARNING
System supply and return piping must
be connected to correct boiler pipe.
Burnham recommends sizing the
system circulator to supply sufficient
flow (GPM) to allow a 20°F temperature
differential in the system. When sizing
the system circulator, the pressure
drop of all radiators, baseboard and
radiant tubing and all connecting
piping must be considered.
WARNING
The use of a low water cut-off device, while
not required unless radiation level is below
the boiler, is highly recommended.
If a low water cut-off is required, it must be
mounted in the system piping above the boiler. The
minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is
just above the highest water containing cavity of
the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of
water to operate safely.
CAUTION
5. If it is required to perform a long term pressure
test of the hydronic system, the boiler should first
be isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape
of air trapped must first be removed from the boiler.
Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from
hot water piping to combustible materials.
31
A loss of pressure during such a test, with no
visible water leakage, is an indication that the boiler
contained trapped air.
To perform a long term pressure test including the
boiler, ALL trapped air must first be removed from
the boiler.

SECTION V: STEAM BOILER PIPING AND TRIM
WARNING
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or
structure.
Do not increase steam boiler input above the ratings.
A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING STEAM SYSTEM.
2. Repair any leaks in the system.
The single most important factor in determining the
expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of
fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh
water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These
contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast
iron boiler sections.
3. Install accurate water meter on the fresh water
supply to the boiler.
B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN
PIPING TO BOILER. See Figure 14 for piping
details. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping
Guides.
1. Assure that all system radiators, piping and vents are
absolutely leak tight.
CAUTION
a. When a steam boiler is installed in an existing
system, ALL air vents should be replaced at the
same time. This assures that the new boiler will
not be compromised by existing system leaks.
Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from
hot water piping to combustible materials.
b. If the system contains hidden supply or return
piping (hidden behind walls, buried in concrete,
etc.) pressure test this piping to assure there are
no leaks.
NOTICE
Do not use softened water in steam boilers. Accelerated boiler corrosion will result. Tie in
fresh water supply to the boiler upstream of a water softener.
Oxygen contamination of 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.
Before using copper for steam piping, consider the following characteristics of copper
piping:
1) high coefficient of thermal expansion can induce mechanical stresses and cause
expansion/contraction noises if not accounted for in the piping system design and
installation,
2) high heat transfer rate (heat loss) of uninsulated copper piping must be included in the
normal piping and pickup factors used to size the boiler,
3) soldering or brazing pastes and fluxes that end up in the system can cause poor heat
transfer, surging, an unsteady water line and wet steam if not thoroughly removed
during the boil out procedure and,
4) galvanic corrosion of the adjoining metal may occur due to dissimilar metals in certain
water chemistries if dielectric unions are not used.
36
37
SECTION VI: TANKLESS AND INDIRECT WATER HEATER PIPING
required by dishwashers and automatic washers is
possible by piping the hot water from the heater
prior to entering the mixing valve. The mixing valve
should be “trapped” by installing it below the cold
water inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the
valve. Refer to Figure 15A.
A. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING as
shown in Figure 15A. See Tables 2A and 2B for
Tankless Heater Rating.
WARNING
Install automatic mixing valve at tankless
heater outlet to avoid risk of burns or
scalding due to excessively hot water at
fixtures. Adjust and maintain the mixing
valve in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not operate tankless
heater without mixing valve.
3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains
some sediment which settles on the inside of the
coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically
back washed. This is accomplished by installing
hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city
pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater,
and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The
tees in which the hose bibs are located should be
the same size as heater connections to minimize
pressure drop.
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS
HEATER:
4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary
to determine the hardness of your potable
water. This is applicable to some city water and
particularly to well water. An appropriate water
softener should be installed based on the analysis
and dealer’s recommendation. This is not only
beneficial to the tankless heater but to piping and
fixtures plus the many other benefits derived from
soft water.
1. FLOW REGULATION — If flow through the
heater is greater than its rating, the supply of
adequate hot water may not be able to keep up
with the demand. For this reason a flow regulator
matching the heater rating should be installed in
the cold water line to the heater. The flow regulator
should preferably be located below the inlet to the
heater and a minimum of 3’ away from the inlet
so that the regulator is not subjected to excess
temperatures that may occur during “off” periods
when it is possible for heat to be conducted back
through the supply line. The flow regulator also
limits the flow of supply water regardless of inlet
pressure variations in the range of 20 to 125 psi.
NOTICE
During summertime operation, the
normal water line on a steam boiler can
be raised 1", from 22-5/8" to
23-5/8" (see Figure 1D) for improved
tankless heater performance on steam
boilers.
2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation
of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some
cold water with the hot. This prevents the possibility
of scalding hot water at the fixtures. In addition,
savings of hot water will be achieved since the user
will not waste as much hot water while seeking a
water temperature. Higher temperature hot water
Use street elbow fittings in tankless in
and out connections to assure
adequate clearance of piping.
CAUTION
Use of hard water with a tankless coil will, over a short period of time, reduce the output of the
coil and reduce the useful life of the coil.

SECTION VII: VENTING AND AIR INTAKE PIPING
A. GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES
thus prevent the condensation. The addition of
dilution air into the chimney may assist in drying
the chimney interior surfaces.
1. Vent system installation must be in accordance
with these instructions and applicable provisions of
local building codes. Contact local building or fire
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
in your area.
A massive chimney on a cold, or exposed outside
wall may have produced adequate draft when it
was fired with a higher input and greater volumes
of heated gases. With reduced input and volume,
the draft may be severely affected. In one
instance our research showed a new chimney of
adequate sizing produced only .035" W.C. after
30 minutes of continuous firing at 13.0% CO2.
Outside wall chimneys take longer to heat up
and can have .00" W.C. draft at burner start-
up. You may have to consider a special alloy
chimney flue liner with insulation around it and a
stabilizing draft cap or even a draft inducing fan
in severe cases.
2. The V8 is designed to be vented into a fireclay
tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed
from type L vent or a factory built chimney that
complies with the type HT requirements of UL103.
The chimney and vent pipe shall have a sufficient
draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation
of the boiler. See Figure 16 for recommended
installation.
a. Install a draft regulator (supplied with boiler)
following the instructions furnished with the
regulator. See Figure 17 for alternate draft
regulator locations.
d. For the same reasons as in c. above, heat
extractors mounted into the breeching are not
recommended.
b. For the V82W, V84W and V86W the minimum
recommended chimney size from Table 1B
is one size larger than the smokebox outlet.
For a vertical vent, place the increaser on the
smokebox outlet collar. Otherwise, locate the
increaser in the horizontal vent at the entrance to
the chimney.
3. For minimum clearances to combustible materials
refer to Figure 2.
B. OPTIONAL AIR INTAKE PIPING
INSTALLATION - All air for combustion can be
supplied directly to the burner from outdoors (ONLY
AVAILABLE WITH BECKETT BURNER). See
Figure 18.
c. With any new or replacement installation the
chimney has to be considered. Chimneys that
have a high heat loss may become less suitable
as the heat loss of the home goes down and the
efficiency of the boiler installed goes up. Most
homes have a chimney appropriate for the fuel
and the era in which the home was built. That
may have been a coal fired or an inefficient oil
fired boiler built into a home without insulation
or storm windows. With increasing fuel prices
that home probably has been insulated and fitted
with storm windows so that the heat loss of the
home has been reduced. This requires less fuel to
be burned and sends less heat up the chimney.
WARNING
Do not reduce size of air intake pipe.
Read, understand and follow combustion
air instruction restrictions contained in the
Pre-Installation Section of this manual.
1. General
a. Use 4 inch diameter, single wall galvanized
metal pipe and fittings available at most heating
distributors for air intake piping. Maximum
allowable air intake length is 50 equivalent feet.
Each elbow is equal to 6 equivalent feet.
A new boiler probably has a higher efficiency
than the boiler being replaced. That probably
means that the stack temperature from the
new boiler will be lower than that from the
old boiler and with less room air being drawn
up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The
combination of a large uninsulated chimney,
reduced firing rate, reduced firing time, lower
stack temperature and less dilution air can, in
some cases, contribute to the condensing of small
amounts of water vapor in the chimney. Such
condensation, when it occurs, can cause chimney
deterioration. In extreme cases, the chimney
may have to be lined to insulate the chimney and
WARNING
Do not exceed maximum allowable air
intake length.
b. Start at Burner. Work toward air intake terminal.
c. Maintain minimum of ¼ inch per foot slope in
horizontal run to air intake terminal. Slope down
toward air intake terminal.
d. Seal all joints gas-tight, using silicone caulk or
self-adhesive aluminum tape.

2. After determining location, cut a hole in the wall to
accept 4 inch air intake pipe. See Figure 18.
5. Install remainder of air intake, securing each joint
with at least three (3) sheet metal screws evenly
spaced.
3. Remove the metal knockout in right side of burner
cover. Install Burnham Inlet Air Accessory Kit, Part
Number 611280031.
6. Install air intake terminal. See Figure 18.
NOTICE
4. Mount the Vacuum Relief Valve Tee Assembly (Part
Number 8116268 included with Kit) or 90° elbow
into the burner inlet ring. See Figure 18.
Intake terminal must be at least 12 inches
above grade plus snow accumulation.
a. Secure with at least three (3) sheet metal screws
evenly spaced around the burner inlet ring.
7. Seal all external joints with weatherproof caulk.
b. Assemble the vacuum relief valve balance
weight onto the gate. Refer to the vacuum relief
valve manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Do not locate air intake where petroleum
distillates, CFC's, detergents, volatile
vapors or any other chemicals are present.
Severe boiler corrosion and failure will
result.
c. Mount the vacuum relief valve into the tee and
fasten with a screw and nut in collar tabs. To
ensure proper operation, the gate must be level
across the pivot point and plumb. Refer to
vacuum relief valve manufacturer's instructions.

SECTION VIII: ELECTRICAL
DANGER
Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or
service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical
boxes with padlock once power is turned off.
WARNING
Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical
harm.
Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before
attempting any electrical work.
Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized fused disconnect.
Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.
WARNING
The primary control may be damaged or may not function properly if 120 volt power supply is
NOT wired into control as follows:
The 120V interrupted hot (black) wire must be connected to the primary control black wire, the
120V neutral (white) wire must be connected to the primary control white wire and the 120V
constant hot (red) wire must be connected to the primary control red wire.
A. GENERAL
1. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in

accordance with requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction, or in absence of such
requirements the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, and/or the CSA C22.1 Electric Code.
8. Wiring should conform to Figures 19 through 23F.
B. INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an
inside wall about four feet above floor. Never install
thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be
influenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting
fixtures, television, rays of the sun or near a fireplace.
Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will
be free movement of room air around this control.
2. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric
Codes for proper size and type of wire required.
Follow Code.
3. A separate electrical circuit must be run from
the main electrical service with an over-current
device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is
recommended and may be required by some local
jurisdictions.
Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match
the requirements of the control to which it is connected.
See Figures 19 thru 23F for desired system and heat
anticipator setting. If system tends to overheat above
the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat
anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to
short cycle without reaching desired room temperature,
increase heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps.
4. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing
through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control
boxes.
5. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line
voltage wiring.
6. If an Alliance™ indirect water heater is used, use
priority zoning. Do not use priority zoning for
Hydro-Air Systems.

When the thermostat calls for heat, it energizes the R8239C Control Center relay which in turn energizes the cad cell
primary control, bringing on the burner. The burner will operate in the following sequence: Prepurge for the first 10
seconds; fire until the thermostat is satisfied or the limit setting on the high limit is reached; post-purge for the last 10
seconds. When the high limit control restores the circuit on a drop in pressure, the burner will start if the thermostat is
still calling for heat.
The probe low water cut-off will shut down the burner after a 10-15 second delay, if the water level in the boiler drops
below the probe level.
The Hydrolevel CG450 low water cut-off will shut down the burner for 90 seconds every 10 minutes of firing time to
allow water level to stabilize. If the water level is too low the burnerwill not be allowed to restart.
The probe low water cut-off will reset and restart the burner with a call for heat a few seconds after the water is re-
turned to its normal level.
On burner start, if the cad cell does not see flame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut burner
down and enter into a recycle mode, after 60 seconds burner will restart and repeat trial for ignition. If after three
(3) trials for ignition, flame is not detected, control will enter into restricted mode and must be reset manually before
burner can be restarted.
When there is no demand for heat, the operating control will maintain the boiler water temperature at the selected
setting for proper operation of the domestic water heater, if equipped with optional tankless heater.

positioning bar to fix the head setting based
on nozzle size. To adjust this setting, bar must
be changed to the next larger or smaller bar
available. Refer to Section II, Paragraph D for
details.
1. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower
thermostat setting as required to start and stop
burner.
WARNING
Before installation of the boiler is considered
complete, the operation of all boiler controls
must be checked, particularly the primary
control and high limit control.
4. READJUST THE TURBULATOR SETTING only
if necessary.

position at a time to optimize the smoke and
CO2 readings.
a. FEATURES AND CONTROLS
b. Turn “OFF” burner and remove Riello
Combination Pressure Gauge and Bleeder Valve
Assembly. Install pressure port/bleeder plug and
tighten. Start burner again.
i. The R7184 is a microprocessor-based
control. The indicator light provides
diagnostic information for lockout, recycling
and patented cad cell status. There is a
manual reset button to exit the Lockout
Mode and enter the Idle Mode (see Figure
28).
5. TURN “OFF” BURNER and remove pressure
gauge. Install gauge port/bleeder plug and tighten.
Start burner again.
WARNING
Do not loosen or remove any oil line fittings
while burner is operating.
6. FLAME FAILURE
The V8 boiler controls operate the burner
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner
ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary
control has tripped, the burner has experienced
ignition failure.
Figure 28: R7184 Terminals, LED and Reset Button
WARNING
ii. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging
air from the oil lines and filters, the R7184
can be placed in a purge routine by pressing
and releasing the reset button during the
safety check, delayed valve-on, ignition or
carry-over periods.
Do not attempt to start the burner when
excess oil has accumulated, when the unit
is full of vapor, or when the combustion
chamber is very hot.
H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF
BURNER.
iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the
number of recycle trials (for each call
for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If
the flame is lost three times and does not
successfully satisfy a call for heat, the
R7184 locks out.
1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and
nozzle will compress when burner is on and will
expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from
nozzle at low pressure as burner slows down and
causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually
cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will
rid oil line of this air.
2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat
Paragraph I, No. 1. If this does not stop the
dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe
both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace
and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn
persist replace fuel pump.
iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order
to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in
the combustion area, the control can only be
reset three times. The reset count returns to
zero each time a call for heat is successfully
completed.
• To reset from Restricted Mode: Press and
hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
When the LED flashes twice, the device
has reset.
69
v. T-T Jumper: Select models have pre-
installed T-T jumper resistor. To remove,
use side-cutting pliers to cut jumper (See
Figure 28).
vi. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil
primary control provides lockout, recycle
and cad cell indications as follows:
• Check contacts between ignitor and the
electrodes.
• Check the oil pump pressure.
• Check the piping to the oil tank.
• Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil
filter.
ii. Check Safety Features
Safe Start:
• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second
off): system is locked out or in Restricted
Mode.
• Place a jumper across cad cell terminals.
• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds
off): control is in Recycle Mode.
• Follow procedure to turn on burner.
Burner must not start, indicator light turns
on and control remains in Idle Mode.
• On: cad cell is sensing flame.
• Remove jumper.
• Off: cad cell is not sensing flame.
iii. Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure:
vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper
operation it is important that the cad cell
resistance is below 1600 ohms. During a
normal call for heat, once the control has
entered the Run Mode, press and release the
reset button. Indicator light will flash 1 to 4
flashes. See Table 5 for equivalent cad cell
resistance.
• Follow procedure to turn on burner.
• Close hand valve in oil supply line.
• Failure occurs, device enters Recycle
Mode. Indicator light flashes at ¼ Hz rate
2 seconds on, 2 seconds off).
• Device tries to restart system after
approximately 60 seconds.
TABLE 5: CAD CELL RESISTANCE WHEN
SENSING FLAME
• After third Recycle Mode trial, safety
switch locks out within safety switch
timing indicated on label and control

b. CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
CAUTION
iv. Cad Cell Check: See Figure 29.
Due to the potential hazard of line
voltage, only a trained, experienced
service technician should perform the
following safety checks.
This control contains no field-serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to take it apart.
Replace entire control if operation is not
as described.
i. Preliminary Steps
• Check wiring connections and power
supply.
• Make sure power is on to the controls.
• Make sure limit control is closed.
Figure 29: Cad Cell Location
70
• Perform cad cell resistance check as
outlined in control feature. If
resistance is below 1600 OHMS and
burner runs beyond safety cut-out time,
cad cell is good.
• If safety switch shuts down burner and
resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line
switch to boiler. Access cad cell under
ignitor, clean face of cad cell and see that
cell is securely in socket. Check gasket
around perimeter of ignitor lid for proper
seal. If gasket is missing or damaged,
replace gasket. Room light can effect cad
cell resistance. Reset safety switch.
• Close line switch to boiler. If burner starts
and runs beyond safety switch cut-off
time, cell is good. If not, install new cell.
v. Power Failure Check: After Flame is
established, turn the power off to the control/
burner. The burner should shut down safely.
When power is restored a normal ignition
sequence should be started.
3. adjustable differential
HIGH LIMIT OPERATION —
The high limit opens and turns off the burner when
the water temperature reaches the set point. The high limit
automatically resets after the water temperature drops past
the set point and through the 10°F differential.
3. WARNING — Check High Limit Control
— Jumper Thermostat Terminals. Allow burner to
operate until shut-down by limit. Installation is not
considered complete until this check has been made.
Set the indicator at desired shut-off temperature.
LOW LIMIT OPERATION —
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at
the minimum setting of 10°F, the burner circuit (R-B) breaks
and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at the low limit set
point. On a temperature drop of 10°F below the set point,
the R-B circuit makes and the R-W circuit breaks.
WARNING
Jumper must be removed after this check.
4. Check low water cut off control with water level at
normal water line (see Figure 1D). Raise thermostat
setting to allow burner to operate. Open boiler drain
to allow water level to drop to bottom of sight glass
until burner operation is shut-down by low water
cut-off.
ADJUSTABLE DIFFERENTIAL —
At any differential setting greater than 10°F, the R-B
make temperature and R-W break temperature will remain
the same-control setting minus 10°F. The R-B break and
R-W make temperature will be the set point temperature
plus the difference between the differential setting and 10°F.
Close boiler drain and refill to normal water line.
Burner should automatically restart during fill.
Lower thermostat setting.
EXAMPLE: Set point of 140°F; differential set at 25°F. On
a temperature rise, R-B will break and R-W will make at
155°F. On a temperature fall, R-B will make and R-W will
break at 130°F.
5. Check operating control on boiler equipped with
tankless heaters. With burner off, draw hot water
until burner starts, then turn off hot water and check
burner shut-down.
Set low limit indicator at the minimum temperature
recommended for domestic hot water supply. This setting
must be at least 20°F below high limit setting to prevent one
switch from locking out the other.
J. IF CONTROLS DO NOT MEET
REQUIREMENTS outlined in Paragraph I.,
replace control and repeat checkout procedures.
Set the differential the desired number of degrees. 25°F
differential gives longest burner cycles.
AQUASTAT SWITCHING ACTION WITHIN L8124C
CONTROL
The switching action within the L8124C control has
three settings:
1. high limit
2. low limit
71
AQUASTAT SWITCHING ACTION WITHIN
L8148A CONTROLS
The switching action in the L8148A control has one set-
ting, the high limit. The switching relay is controlled by the
low voltage room thermostat. On a call for heat, the relay
contacts make to complete the line voltage circulator circuit
and also the burner circuit if the boiler water temperature is
below the high limit setting. The high limit switch shuts off
the burner if boiler water temperature exceeds the high limit
setting.
Set the indicator at the desired shut-off temperature.

SECTION XI: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. MAINTENANCE OF LOW WATER CUT-
OFF DEVICES
h. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove
old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.
i. 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.
j. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.
k. Mount the low water cut-off control on the
probe.
WARNING
Probe and float type low water cut-off
devices require annual inspection and
maintenance.
1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF
Although these devices are solid state in their
operation, the probe is exposed to possible
contamination in the boiler water and subject to
fouling.
l. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.
m. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline.
n. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed
(refer to Paragraph B.).
It is important to physically remove the probe from
the boiler tapping annually and inspect that probe
for accumulation of scale or sediment.
Follow these steps to inspect, clean and/or replace
the probe:
a. Turn off electric service to the boiler.
b. Drain boiler water to a level below the tapping
for the probe.
o. Restore electric service to the boiler.
p. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a
boil to drive off free oxygen.
q. WARNING — BEFORE RETURNING
BOILER TO SERVICE: Follow the low
water cut-off check out procedure in Section X,
Paragraph I, No. 4.
2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF
During the heating season, if an external low water
cut-off 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.
c. Disconnect wiring connections between the low
water cut-off control and the probe.
d. Remove the low water cut-off control from the
probe.
DANGER
Low water cut-offs and water feeders should
be dismantled annually by qualified personnel,
to the extent necessary to insure freedom from
obstructions and proper functioning of the
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
safety valve to relieve all internal pressure
prior to proceeding. Safety valve discharge
piping must be piped such that the potential
for burns is eliminated.
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.
Complete replacement mechanisms, including
necessary gaskets and installation instructions are
available from the manufacturer.
e. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping.
f. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed
to the boiler water for a scale or sediment
buildup.
g. 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 parts of water to 1 part
of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).
B. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROUBLE FREE
OPERATION
1. STEAM BOILERS
CAUTION
a. Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a
new boiler and piping must be removed in order
to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over
of the water into the supply main above boiler.
Exercise caution when handling phosphoric
acid and follow the instruction label on its
container.
74
Operate the boiler with steam in the entire
system for a few days allowing the condensate
to return to the boiler. If the condensate can
temporarily be wasted, operate boiler only for
the length of time it takes for condensate to run
clear. If the latter cannot be achieved or if the
condensate is returned to the boiler, boil out
the boiler using the SURFACE BLOW-OFF
connection, see Figure 5.
open drain valve in return main. Fill boiler
to normal water level, turn on oil burner and
operate boiler at this water level for at least
30 minutes after the condensate begins to
run hot, then turn off burner.
Close all radiator valves. Remove all supply
main air valves and plug the openings in
supply main.
ii. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from
boiler into a container and dissolve into it
the appropriate amount of a recommended
boilout compound. Remove safety valve
from boiler and pour this solution into
boiler, then reinstall safety valve.
iii. Turn on oil burner and keep operating while
feeding water to boiler slowly. This will
raise water level in boiler slowly so that
water will be boiling hot and will rise slowly
into supply main and back through return
main, flowing from drain hose at about
180°F. Continue until water runs clear from
drain hose for at least 30 minutes.
i. Drain boiler until 1” of water is visible in
gauge glass. Run temporary 1½” NPT pipe
line from the surface blow-off connection to
an open drain or some other location where
hot water may be discharged safely. Do not
install valve in this line.
ii. Drain about 5 gallons of hot water from
boiler into a container and dissolve into it
an appropriate amount of recommended boil
out compound. Remove safety valve & add
solution to boiler water thru exposed tapping
using a funnel.
NOTICE
iv. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue
operating oil burner until excess water in
boiler flows out through supply main and
water lowers (by steaming) until it reaches
normal level in boiler. Turn off oil burner.
Drain boiler. Open all radiator valves.
Reinstall all supply main air valves. Open
gate valve in Hartford Loop.
Check with local authorities or consult local
water treatment services for acceptable
chemical cleaning compounds.
iii. Start burner and operate sufficiently to boil
the water without producing steam pressure.
Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed
pipe sufficiently to permit a steady trickle
of water from the surface blow-off pipe.
Continue this slow boiling and trickle of
overflow for several hours until the water
coming from the overflow is clear.
iv. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner
and to a location that hot water can be
discharged with safety.
v. Refill boiler to normal water line. If water
in gauge glass does not appear to be clear,
repeat steps (i. thru iii.) and boil out the
boiler for a longer time.
v. When boiler has cooled down sufficiently
(crown sheet of sections are not too hot to
touch), close the drain valves at boiler and
in return main and feed water slowly up to
normal level in boiler. Turn on oil burner
and allow boiler to steam for 10 minutes,
then turn off burner. Draw off one quart of
water from bottom gauge glass fitting and
discard. Draw off another quart sample and
if this sample is not clear, repeat the cycle
of draining the boiler and return main and
refilling the boiler until sample is clear.
vi. If the boiler water becomes dirty again
at a later date due to additional sediment
loosened up in the piping, close gate valve
in Hartford Loop, open drain valve in
return main, turn on oil burner and allow
Condensate to flow to drain until it has run
clear for at least 30 minutes while feeding
water to boiler so as to maintain normal
water level. Turn off oil burner, drain boiler,
open gate valve in Hartford Loop, then
repeat Step 1 above.
b. Low pressure steam boilers such as the V8
Series should be maintained with appropriate
water treatment compounds. Add suitable water
treatment compounds as recommended by your
qualified water treatment company.
c. Remove temporary surface blow-off piping, plug
tapping and reinstall safety valve. Boil or bring
water temperature to 180°F promptly in order to
drive off the dissolved gases in the fresh water.
d. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming
persist, install gate valve in Hartford Loop and
drain valves in return main and at boiler as
shown in Figure 14 and proceed as follows:
e. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
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

of protection, care must be exercised to eliminate
all of the free oxygen in the system.
f. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
2. WATER BOILERS
a. 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 12 psi. To insure that the
system is full, water should come out of all air
vents when opened.
e. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
C. FREQUENT WATER ADDITION
NOTICE
IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS
NECESSARY TO ADD MORE WATER PER
MONTH THAN INDICATED BELOW,
CONSULT A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM
FOR LEAKS.
b. 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.
i. Remove relief valve using extreme care to
avoid damaging it.
ii. Add an appropriate amount of recommended
boil out compound.
EXCESSIVE WATER ADDITION:
(Gal/Month)
V83: 6
V84: 8
V85: 9½
V86: 11
V87: 13
V88: 14½
V89: 16
iii. Replace relief valve.
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 inside. 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 this.
iv. Fill the entire system with water.
v. Start firing the boiler.
vi. Circulate the water through the entire
system.
vii. Vent the system, including the radiation.
viii. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
ix. Continue to circulate the water for a few
hours.
x. Stop firing the boiler.
xi. Drain the system in a manner and to a
location that hot water can be discharged
with safety.
xii. Remove plugs from all available returns
and wash the water side of the boiler as
thoroughly as possible, using a high-
pressure water stream.
xiii. Refill the system with fresh water.
D. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN
OPERATION.
c. Add appropriate boiler water treatment
compounds as recommended by your qualified
water treatment company.
NOTICE
d. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
If boiler is not used during winter time, it
must be fully drained to prevent freeze
damage.
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
76
1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or
crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to
reach all corners.
WARNING
This boiler contains controls which may
cause the boiler to shut down and not
restart 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.
2. With steam boilers, at end of season add sufficient
water to fill boiler to top of water column and leave
it that way until fall when water should be drained
again to proper level. If at this time boiler water is
dirty, drain water, flush out boiler, and refill with
clean water to prescribed water level.
3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off
if the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section X, Paragraphs A through J.
77
SECTION XII: BOILER CLEANING
WARNING
All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped
with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage,
personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to
boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten
swing door fastener completely when service is completed.
A. CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 30).
D. AFTER CLEANING, remove protective cloth or
plastic with debris and vacuum as necessary, but be
careful not to damage blanket. Inspect target wall,
combustion chamber blanket, burner swing door
insulation, and rope gasket for signs of damage. If
damaged, replace as needed.
1. Prior to cleaning boiler, lay a protective cloth or
plastic over combustion chamber blanket to collect
debris falling from flueways.
2. For access to combustion chamber remove two (2)

b. Loosen nuts securing the flue cover plates and
remove the plates. The rope gasket should
be removed with the plates with care to avoid
damage to the rope gasket.
1. Install the canopy taking care to align the gasket
without blocking the flueways. If gasket is damaged,
replace as needed.
4. For cleaning from the top:
2. Reinstall flue cover plates, making sure rope gasket
on each plate is in place and forms a gas tight seal.
If damaged replace as needed.
a. Remove as much vent pipe as necessary to allow
removal of the jacket top panel and canopy.
b. Remove the jacket top panel.
3. Reinstall jacket top panel and/or jacket upper right
side access panel with #8 x ½" long sheet metal
screws.
c. Remove the canopy, being careful not to damage
the gasket.
5. Using a 1¼” diameter wire or fibre bristle brush
(30” handle) clean the flueways. Brush from the top
and/or side using horizontal and diagonal strokes for
best results. DO NOT allow brush to strike the target
wall or liner in the chamber.
4. Reinstall vent pipe on canopy and secure to collar
with sheet metal screws.
5. Close burner swing door. Secure door to front
section with 5/16" flange nut and washer (right side)
and 5/16" x 3½" lg. bolt (left side).
B. CLEAN TOP OF BOILER SECTIONS
(if cleaning from the top).
NOTICE
Brush and vacuum the tops of the boiler sections.
When securing burner swing door make
sure door is drawn-in equally on both sides.
C. CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
Using wire or fibre bristle brush, clean crown of boiler
and inside of water legs.
Tighten swing door hardware to provide adequate
seal to rope gasket around perimeter of door.
WARNING
Use an alternating tightening method from right side
flange nut to left side cap screw to pull door tight
equally.
Do not allow brush to strike target wall or
blanket in the combustion chamber.
78
Figure 30: Cleaning of Boiler Flueways
WARNING
The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property
damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of
the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and
should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. A clean
and unobstructed chimney flue is 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.
79
SECTION XIII: TROUBLE SHOOTING
A. COMBUSTION
8. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching
the fuel pump is 40°F or lower, poor combustion or
delayed ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to
atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get
larger and the flame shape gets longer. An outside
fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines in a
shallow bury is a good candidate for cold oil. The
best solution is to bury the tank and lines deep
enough to keep the oil above 40°F.
1. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively
inexpensive device, its function is critical to the
successful operation of the oil burner. The selection
of the nozzle supplied with the V8 boiler is the
result of extensive testing to obtain the best flame
shape and efficient combustion. Other brands of the
same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but
may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and
smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be protected
from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass-produced
and can vary from sample to sample. For all of
those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item for a
serviceman to have.
9. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS — Air
openings must be increased at higher altitudes. Use
instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2.
10.START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause
of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode
settings, flame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.
2. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion
chamber through the observation port, the flame
should appear straight with no sparklers rolling up
toward the crown of the chamber. If the flame drags
to the right or left, sends sparklers upward or makes
wet spots on the target wall, the nozzle should be
replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks,
air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described above.
11. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the flame runs out of
air before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with noise
may occur. That may be the result of a faulty cut-off
valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped in the
nozzle line. It may take several firing cycles for that
air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in the
fuel or poor flame shape can also cause shut down
noises.
3. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the
pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good
combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air
tube, under the ignitor, and around the air inlet. Any
such leaks should be repaired as they may cause
erratic burning of the fuel and in the extreme case
may become a fire hazard.
NOTICE
CHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good
test for isolating fuel side problems is to
disconnect the fuel system and with a 24"
length of tubing, fire out of an auxiliary five
gallon pail of clean, fresh, warm #2 oil from
another source. If the burner runs
successfully when drawing out of the
auxiliary pail then the problem is isolated to
the fuel or fuel lines being used on the
jobsite.
4. AIR LEAKS — Any such leaks should be repaired,
as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in
extreme cases may become a fire hazard.
5. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO2 with a
#1 smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching, look
for air leaks around the burner mounting gasket,
observation door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks
will cause a lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The
smaller the firing rate the greater effect an air leak
can have on CO2 readings.
B. OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
1. Burner (control) will not come on.
a. No power to control.
6. DIRT — A fuel filter is a good investment.
Accidental accumulation of dirt in the fuel system
can clog the nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a
poor spray pattern from the nozzle. The smaller the
firing rate, the smaller the slots become in the nozzle
and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the
same amount of dirt.
b. Control is in lockout or restricted mode. Press
reset button for one (1) second to exit lockout. If
control has recycled three times within the same
call for heat, it will enter into restricted mode.
To reset from restricted mode, refer to Section X,
Paragraph I, No. 2 for details.
c. CAD cell seeing light.
7. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts will
stall the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller
amounts will cause excessive wear on the pump,
but more importantly water doesn’t burn. It chills
the flame and causes smoke and unburned fuel to
pass out of the combustion chamber and clog the
flueways of the boiler.
d. CAD assembly defective.
e. Control motor relay is stuck closed (see note
below).
2. Burner (control) will light, then shut down after a
short time, then restart after one (1) minute.
a. CAD cell is defective.
80
Note: The Safety Monitoring Circuit (SMC) is
designed to provide lockout in the event of a
stuck or welded motor relay.
b. Air leaking into oil line causing flame out.
c. Defective nozzle causing flame to be erratic.
d. Excessive airflow or draft causing flame to leave
burner head.
NOTICE
e. Excessive back pressure causing flame to be
erratic.
If flame is not established within 15
seconds of oil valve actuation (known
as Trial For Ignition [TFI]) lockout will
occur. Lockout is indicated by a red
LED solid-on located on the oil primary
control.
3. Control locks out after Trial For Ignition (TFI).
a. No oil to burner.
b. Shorted electrodes.
c. Nozzle clogged.
d. Airflow too high.
Latch-up will occur if the control locks-
out three (3) times during a call for
heat. This is indicated by red and
amber LED's solid-on.
e. Ignitor module defective.
f. CAD cell defective.
g. Oil valve stuck open or closed.

XV. LOW WATER CUT OFF (LWCO)
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO).
Only use connections specifically identified for Low Water Cut Off.
In all cases, follow the Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) manufacturer's instructions.
When
draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO
manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the
probe.
A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water
boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation)
is installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e.
baseboard on the same floor level as the boiler). In
addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO
with a hot water boiler.
How to Wire
LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC
configurations. The 120 VAC configuration can be
universally applied to both gas and oil boilers by wiring
it in the line voltage service to the boiler (after the
service switch, if so equipped).
The presence of water in a properly installed LWCO
will cause the normally open contact of the LWCO to
close, thus providing continuity of the 120 VAC service
to the boiler.
Where
The universal location for a LWCO on both gas and oil
hot water boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply
or return piping. The minimum safe water level of a
water boiler is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is,
it must be full of water to operate safely.
It is recommended to supply power to the probe LWCO
with the same line voltage boiler service as shown
below.
What Kind
Typically, in residential applications, a probe type
LWCO is used instead of a float type, due to their
relative costs and the simplicity of piping for a probe
LWCO.
How to Pipe
A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO
to the supply or return piping, as shown below.
Wiring of Typical LWCO
A 24 VAC LWCO is used primarily for gas fired
boilers where a 24 volt control circuit exists within the
boiler. However, a 24 VAC LWCO can only be used
if the boiler manufacturer has provided piping and
wiring connections and instructions to allow for this
application.
LWCO Location
Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO
manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch
connection must have a minimum diameter to
prevent bridging between the probe and the tee. Also,
the run of the tee must have a minimum diameter to
prevent the end of the probe from touching or being
located too close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.
How to Test
Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water
level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand
by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to
operate. Increase the water level by filling the system.
The boiler should attempt to operate once the water
Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located
above the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing.
This will allow probe removal for inspection without
level is above the LWCO.
