I Product Description  
The MWC Series are gas red condensing boilers designed for use in forced hot water heating systems  
requiring supply water temperatures of 176F or less and return water temperatures greater than 86F. The  
primary heat exchanger is a copper water tube design. Additional heat is extracted from the ue gas in a  
stainless steel secondary heat exchanger located down stream of the inducer. These boilers include a built in  
circulator, expansion tank, and automatic air vent. In addition, “combi” models include a plate exchanger for  
domestic hot water (DHW) generation. All MWC Series boilers are designed for installation on a wall and may  
be vented vertically or horizontally with combustion air supplied from outdoors.

III Before Installing  
1) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in  
strict accordance with this manual and the authority having jurisdiction.  
In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual  
and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.  
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, this installation must conform to the Standard for  
Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ANSI/ASME CSD-1).  
2) Read Section VII to verify that the maximum combustion air and exhaust pipe lengths will not be  
exceeded in the planned installation. Also verify that the vent terminal can be located in accordance with  
Section VII.  
3) Make sure that the boiler is correctly sized:  
a) For heating systems employing convection radiation (baseboard or radiators), use an industry  
accepted sizing method such as the I=B=R Heat Loss Calculation Guide (Pub. #H21 or #H22)  
published by the Hydronics Institute in Berkeley Heights, NJ.  
b) In sizing the boiler take into consideration the following boiler water ow/temperature limitations:  
Maximum regulated supply temperature is 176F  
Maximum ow through the boiler is approximately 5.5GPM.  
Minimum boiler temperature rise is approximately 37F at high re.  
c) For new radiant heating systems, refer to the radiant tubing manufacturer’s boiler sizing guidelines.  
d) For combi boilers make sure that the domestic hot water ow rate shown in Table 2.2, will be  
adequate to meet the peak demand for domestic hot water.  
5) Make sure that the boiler received is congured for the correct gas (natural or LP).  
6) Make sure that the boiler is congured for use at the altitude at which it is to be installed.  
NOTICE  
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas tter when installed within the  
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. See Appendix A for additional important information about  
installing this product within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  
IV Locating the Boiler  
1) Observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 4.1. These clearances apply to both combustible and  
non-combustible materials.  
2) Note the recommended service clearances in Figure 4.1. These service clearances are recommended,  
but may reduced to the combustible clearances provided:  
Access to the front of the boiler is provided through a door  
Access is provided to the condensate trap located underneath the boiler.  
3) The relief valve must be installed in the factory specied location.  
4) The boiler should be located so as to minimize the length of the vent system.  
5) The boiler must not be installed on carpeting.  
6) The combustion air piping must terminate where outdoor air is available for combustion and away from  
areas that will contaminate combustion air. Avoid areas near chemical products containing chlorine,  
chloride based salts, chloro/uorocarbons, paint removers, cleaning solvents and detergents.

V Mounting The Boiler  
CAUTION  
This boiler weighs approximately 110 pounds:  
Two people are required to safely lift this boiler onto the wall mounting hook.  
Make sure that wall mounting hook is anchored to a structure capable of supporting the  
weight of the boiler and attached piping when lled with water.  
Jurisdictions in areas subject to earthquakes may have special requirements for supporting  
this boiler. These local requirements take precedence over the requirements shown below.  
Mounting Steps:  
1) If the boiler is installed on a framed wall, minimum acceptable framing are 2 x 4 studs. The boiler  
mounting holes are on 11-5/8” centers. Usually the wall studs will be on 16” centers. In such cases, both  
boiler bracket mounting holes must be anchored to ¾” Plywood, horizontal 2 x 4s anchored to the studs,  
or some other framing system capable of supporting the boiler. Attachment of either bracket hole to  
wallboard alone is unacceptable.  
2) When mounting this boiler directly onto studs covered with 1/2” wall board, 5/16 x 2” lag screws are  
recommended. When the boiler is attached to other types of construction, such as masonry, use fasteners  
capable of supporting the weight of the boiler and attached piping in accordance with good construction  
practice and applicable local codes.  
3) Make sure that the surface to which the boiler is mounted is plumb.  
4) Before mounting the boiler, make sure that wall selected does not have any framing or other construction  
that will interfere with the vent pipe penetration.  
5) Tape the paper template to the wall in the chosen location. Be sure to level the template.  
6) Pre-drill two holes in the center of the “oval” slots on the mounting bracket sized for the hardware being  
used.  
7) Mount the bracket to the wall. Be sure to level the bracket by adjusting the screw in the vertical slot.  
8) Pre-drill the remaining hole in the mounting bracket and secure the nal screw.  
9) Cut the opening in the wall for the vent system. The recommended hole diameter for the standard  
60/100mm venting is 4-3/8”.  
10) Hang the boiler on the wall bracket as shown in Figure 5.2.  
11) Verify that the front and sides of the boiler are plumb.  
12) See Section VII (“Venting) for instructions on attaching the vent system to the boiler.  
13) A hot water boiler installed above radiation level or as the Authority having jurisdiction,  
must be provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part of the boiler or at the time of installation.

VI Air for Ventilation  
WARNING  
Outdoor combustion air must be piped to the air intake. Never pipe combustion air from areas containing  
contaminates such as areas where swimming pool chemicals are stored. Contaminated combustion  
air will damage the boiler and may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.  
Air for combustion and ventilation, of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 CAN/CSA B 149.1  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.  
Air for combustion must always be obtained directly from outdoors, however sufcient air for ventilation must  
still be provided in the boiler room. Air for ventilation is required to keep various boiler components from  
overheating and is always obtained from indoors. To ensure an adequate ventilation air supply, perform the  
following steps:  
Step 1: Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a conned space - A conned space is dened by  
the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.  
as having a volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr input of all appliances  
installed in that space. To determine whether the boiler room is a conned space:  
A. Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr. Round the result to the next  
highest 1000 BTU/hr.  
B. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is:  
Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft)  
In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors  
are installed between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do  
not consider the volume of the adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open.  
C. Divide the volume of the boiler room by the input in thousands of BTU/hr. If the result is less than 50, the  
boiler room is a conned space.  
Example:  
A MWC116 and a water heater are to be installed in a room measuring 6ft – 3 in x 7ft with an 8 ft ceiling. The  
water heater has an input of 30000 BTU/hr:  
Total input in thousands of BTU/hr = (116000 BTU/hr + 30000 BTU/hr) / 1000 = 146 MBTU/hr  
Volume of room = 6.25 ft x 7 ft x 8 ft = 350 ft3  
350/146 = 2.40. Since 2.33 is less than 50, the boiler room is a conned space.  
Step 2a: If the boiler is to be placed in a conned space, provide two openings into the boiler room, one near  
the oor and one near the ceiling. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12” of the ceiling and the  
bottom edge of the lower opening must be within 12” of the oor (Fig 6.1). The minimum opening dimension is  
3 inches.  
If the MWC boiler is the only gas-burning appliance in the boiler room, these openings must each  
have a minimum free area of 54 square inches.  
If other gas-burning appliances are in the boiler room, size the openings in accordance with the  
ANSI Z223.1.  
appliance manufacturer’s instructions or the National Fuel Gas Code  
Minimum opening free area is  
/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1.  
54 square inches even if opening requirements for other appliances are less.  
10  
Figure 6.1: Boiler Installed In A Conned Space, Ventilation Air From Inside  
Step 2a (contd.)  
If the total volume of both the boiler room and the room to which the openings connect is less than  
50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr of total appliance input, install a pair of identical openings into a third  
room. Connect additional rooms with openings until the total volume of all rooms is at least 50 cubic  
feet per 1000 BTU/hr of input.  
The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers.  
Where screens are used, they must be no ner than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh.  
Step 2b: If the boiler is to be placed in an unconned space the natural inltration into the boiler room will  
provide adequate air for ventilation without additional openings into boiler room.

VII Venting  
WARNING  
Failure to vent this boiler in accordance with these instructions could cause ue gas to enter  
the building resulting in severe property damage, personal injury, or death:  
Do not attempt to vent this boiler with galvanized, PVC, or any other vent components not  
listed in Table 7.3.  
Do not obtain combustion air from within the building.  
Do not install a barometric damper or drafthood on this boiler.  
CAUTION  
Moisture and ice may form on the surfaces around the vent termination. To prevent  
deterioration, surfaces should be in good repair (sealed, painted, etc.).  
A. Vent System Design  
There are two basic ways to vent this boiler:  
Horizontal (“Side Wall”) Concentric Venting - Vent system exits the building through an outside  
wall. Concentric venting consists of a “pipe within a pipe”. Flue gas exits the building through the inner  
pipe and combustion air is drawn into the boiler through the space between the inner and outer pipe.  
Vertical Concentric Venting - Vent system exits the building through the roof. Concentric venting  
consists of a “pipe within a pipe”. Flue gas exits the building through the inner pipe and combustion  
air is drawn into the boiler through the space between the inner and outer pipe.  
Both of these systems are considered “direct vent” because in both, combustion is drawn directly from the  
outdoors into the boiler. A description of all of these venting options are shown in Tables 7.1 and 7.6. For  
clarity, these vent options are numbered from 1 to 6. One of the vent option columns in Tables 7.1 or 7.6 must  
match the planned vent and air intake system exactly. In addition, observe the following guidelines:  
1) Approved vent systems - Use only one Concentric vent system components supplied by Crown. The  
standard boiler is supplied with a concentric vent system having a maximum usable length of 25” (Figure  
2.1). For longer runs, additional straight lengths and elbows are available from Crown. In some cases,  
larger diameter concentric pipe must be used. Each Crown concentric vent component consists of an  
inner pipe of polypropylene and the outer pipe of steel. Integral gaskets on each concentric tting provide  
a gas tight seal. A list of all Crown concentric vent components is shown in Table 7.3.  
In this manual, concentric pipe sizes are called out in terms of the inner and outer pipe nominal  
diameters in millimeters. For example, “60/100mm” pipe consists of a 60mm exhaust pipe inside a  
100mm diameter outer pipe.  
2) Maximum Vent and Air Intake Lengths - The maximum length of the vent air intake piping depends upon  
the vent option selected. See Table 7.1 or 7.6 for the maximum vent length. In horizontal vent systems,  
the lengths shown in Table 7.1 are in addition to the Elbow Adaptor on top of the boiler. If more elbows  
are desired, the maximum allowable vent length must be reduced by the amount shown in Table 7.5 for  
each additional elbow used. Termination ttings are never counted, although the length of the concentric  
terminal section is counted.  
12  
2 (contd.)  
Example: A 60/100mm concentric vent system is planned for a horizontally vented MWC116 which  
has the following components:  
60/100mm Elbow Adaptor (supplied with the boiler)  
1 ft Straight Pipe  
90 elbow  
Uncut Terminal Section (supplied with the boiler)  
The Vent Option #2 column in Table 7.1 describes a horizontal direct vent system using 60/100mm  
concentric vent pipe. From this column, we see that a MWC116 may have a vent length of up to 8ft-  
10in. The 60/100 Elbow Adaptor supplied with the boiler is not considered. The length of the terminal  
section (not including the plastic terminal itself) is approximately 22 1/2” (1.9ft) installed. From Table  
7.5, we see that the equivalent length of the 60/100mm elbow is 4.5ft. The total equivalent length of  
the planned venting system is therefore:  
1ft (Straight ) + 4.5ft (90 Elbow) + 1.9ft (Uncut Terminal Section) = 7.4ft.  
Since Table 7.1 shows a maximum allowable vent length of 8ft-10in, the planned vent system length  
is acceptable. Note that the 82mm inlet air orice supplied with the boiler is not used.  
3) Minimum Vent and Air Intake Lengths - Observe the minimum vent lengths shown in Tables 7.1 and 7.6.  
4) Permitted Terminals for Horizontal Venting:  
Vent Option 1, 2 - The 60/100mm concentric vent terminal is supplied with the boiler as part of the  
standard vent system.  
Vent Option 3 - Use the optional 80/125mm Concentric Vent Terminal (Crown PN 230531)  
5) Horizontal Vent Terminal Location - Observe the following limitations on the vent terminal location (also  
see Figure 7.4).  
Vent terminal must be at least 1 foot from any door, window, or gravity inlet into the building.  
The bottom of the terminal must be at least 12” above the normal snow line. In no case should it be  
less than 12” above grade level.  
The bottom of the vent terminal must be at least 7 feet above a public walkway.  
Do not install the vent terminal directly over windows or doors.  
The bottom of the vent terminal must be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10  
feet.  
In the USA, maintain a clearance of at least 4ft horizontally from the vent terminal to gas meters,  
electric meters, regulators and relief equipment. In Canada, maintain a 6ft clearance between the  
vent terminal and these devices.  
Do not locate the vent terminal under decks or similar structures.  
Top of vent terminal must be at least 5 feet below eves, softs, or overhangs. Maximum depth of  
overhang is 3 ft.  
Vent terminal must be at least 6 feet from an inside corner.  
Vent Terminal must be at least 2ft from adjacent buildings.  
Under certain conditions, water in the ue gas may condense, and possibly freeze, on objects around  
the vent terminal including on the structure itself. If these objects are subject to damage by ue gas  
condensate, they should be moved or protected.  
If possible, install the vent and air intake terminals on a wall away from the prevailing wind. Reliable  
operation of this boiler cannot be guaranteed if these terminals are subjected to winds in excess of 40  
mph.  
Air intake terminal must not terminate in areas that might contain combustion air contaminates, such  
as near swimming pools. See Section IV for more information on possible contaminates.

6) Permitted Terminals for Vertical Venting - Use Crown PN 230532 with the appropriate flashing (Table 7.3b)  
7) Vertical Vent Terminal Locations (Vent Option 5) - Observe the following limitations on the location of all  
vertical vent terminals (see Figure 7.7):  
The top of the vent pipe must be at least 2 feet above any object located within 10 feet.  
The bottom of the air inlet terminal must be at least 12” above the normal snow accumulation that can be  
expected on the roof. The terminal used in Vent Option #5 has a fixed distance above the storm collar of  
19”. If a greater distance is needed to provide the clearance above the snow line, build a chase on the  
roof and mount the vertical terminal on top of the chase.  
8) Wall thimbles – Concentric vent has a “zero” clearance to combustibles and therefore does not require the  
use of wall thimbles.  
9) Pitch of Horizontal Piping - Pitch all horizontal piping so that any condensate which forms in the piping will run  
towards the boiler. Pitch Crown horizontal concentric venting 5/8” per foot  
10) Supporting Pipe - Vertical and horizontal sections of pipe must be properly supported. Support Crown  
concentric venting near the female end of each straight section of pipe. Exception: Vertical runs of concentric  
pipe in an unused chimney (Figure 7.36) need only be supported at the terminal and at the base of the run.

B. Removing an Existing Boiler From a Common Chimney  
Read this only if the MWC boiler is replacing an existing boiler that is being removed from a common  
chimney. This section does not apply to the installation of a MWC boiler.  
In some cases, when an existing boiler is removed from a common chimney, the common venting system  
may be too large for the remaining appliances. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following  
steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed  
in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in  
operation.  
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.  
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no  
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies which could cause an unsafe  
condition.  
(c) Insofar as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which  
all the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other  
spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common  
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they  
will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close replace dampers.  
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust  
thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.  
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use  
the ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.  
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting  
system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,  
replace dampers and any other gas-burning appliances to their previous condition of use.  
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation  
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. When re-sizing any portion of the  
common venting system, the common venting system should be re sized to approach the minimum  
size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1  
WARNING  
Never common vent a MWC boiler with other appliances.

C. Assembly of Crown 60/100mm Concentric Venting  
(IMPORTANT - Skip to Section D for 80/125mm Concentric Vent Assembly)  
WARNING  
Failure to follow the instructions could result in ue gas leakage into the combustion air or indoor  
air, resulting in unsafe or unreliable operation.  
• Do not lubricate concentric gaskets with anything other than water.  
• Do not attempt to cut any piping except as permitted in this section. When cutting these  
sections, make sure  
all cuts are square and allow for proper insertion.  
• Do not attempt to try to mix this concentric pipe with other venting systems.  
1) Concentric vent components supplied with the boiler are packed in a separate carton and include the following:  
a) 60/100mm elbow adaptor (Crown PN 340509).  
b) 60/100mm terminal section (straight section with a terminal and overall length of 27 3/4” (Crown PN 230520).  
c) Two (2) Rubber wall grommets (Crown PN 230522).  
d) Vent gasket and screws for attachment of vent system to boiler.  
The 82mm air inlet orice required for Vent Option 1 is packed in the boiler carton.  
The 60/100 straight adaptor is optional equipment. It is supplied with the same screws and gasket as the 60/100  
elbow adaptor.  
2) Start by attaching the elbow adaptor (or straight adaptor, if used instead) to the top of the boiler using the gasket  
and four 4.2mm sheet metal screws provided in the vent kit as shown in Figurre 7.20. FFor Vent Option 1, install the  
82mm air inlet orice as shown.  
3) If no additional sections of concentric pipe are required, attach the terminal section to the elbow. In most cases, it  
will need to be cut before doing so. Use the following procedure to cut the pipe:  
a) Measure distance “L” from the outside surface of the exterior wall to the end of the elbow as shown in Figure  
7.21.  
b) Add 2-1/8” to distance “L”. Carefully mark this length on the pipe as shown in Figure 7.22.  
c) Press in the two tabs holding the plastic terminal in the terminal section (Figure 7.22). Carefully pull out the  
terminal and the inner pipe.  
d) Cut the outer pipe only at the point marked in Step (b) using aviation shears, a hacksaw, or an abrasive  
wheel cutter. Be careful to cut the pipe square. De burr the cut end with a le or emery cloth.  
e) Cut the plastic inner pipe so that it will protrude 3/8” beyond the outer pipe when reinstalled in the terminal  
section (Figure 7.23). Use a ne tooth hacksaw or a PVC saw to cut the plastic pipe and be careful to cut the  
pipe square. De burr the cut edge of the plastic pipe with a le, razor blade, or ne sandpaper.  
f) Reinstall the inner pipe in the terminal section. Slip the outside wall grommet over the terminal section and  
position so that it covers the joint between the outer pipe and the terminal (Figure 7.24).  
g) Make a mark on the terminal section 1” from the cut end of the outer pipe as shown in Figure 7.24.  
h) Pass the terminal section through the wall from the outside. Push the remaining wall grommet over the  
terminal section on the inside of the wall. Push the terminal section into the elbow until the mark made in Step  
(g) is no longer visible. If necessary, the brown gasket in the inner pipe may be lubricated with a few drops of  
water.  
i) The terminal section must be attached to the elbow with a single #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screw ( not supplied)  
at the top of the elbow. Drill a 1/8” hole in the location shown in Figure 7.25. Use a short drill bit or a drill  
stop to ensure that the drill bit does not penetrate the pipe by more than 3/8”. Install a #10 x 1/2” screw  
in this hole. Do not use a screw longer than 1/2” long.  
j) If not already done, make sure that both wall grommets are rmly against the interior and exterior wall  
surfaces. Seal any cracks or other openings near the terminal through which exhaust could enter the building.

FIGURE 7.21: DIMENSION “L”  
21  
4) If additional pieces of pipe are used, install them starting at the boiler elbow. Support each section of straight pipe  
at its female end.  
5) Use locking bands provided to join adjacent sections of non-cuttable pipe as well as ttings. The male end of the  
terminal section and other cuttable sections must be held to the female end of the adjoining pipe with at least  
three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. Drill a 1/8 hole through both outer pipes to start this screw. Use a drill stop  
or other means to ensure that the drill bit does not penetrate more than 3/8” into the outer pipe. Do not  
use a sheet metal screw longer than 1/2”.  
6) The only straight pipe that can be cut is the terminal section and the 19-1/2” section (Crown PN 230506). To cut  
this pipe:  
a) Cut pipe from the male end. After marking the desired length of the outer pipe, remove the plastic inner pipe  
by pulling it out from the female end.  
b) Cut the outer pipe only at the point marked in Step (b) using aviation shears, a hacksaw, or an abrasive  
wheel cutter. Be careful to cut the pipe square. De burr the cut end with a le or emery cloth.  
c) Cut the plastic inner pipe so that it will protrude 3/8” beyond the outer pipe when reinstalled in the outer pipe.  
Use a ne tooth hacksaw or a PVC saw to cut the plastic pipe and be careful to cut the pipe square. De burr  
the cut edge of the plastic pipe with a le, razor blade, or ne sandpaper.  
d) Reinstall the inner pipe.  
7) Install the terminal as outlined in Step (4) above. Dimension “L” described in Step 3 is the distance from the  
exterior surface of the wall to the end of the last piece of pipe inside the building.

D. Assembly of Crown 80/125mm Concentric Venting  
(IMPORTANT - See Section C for 60/100mm Concentric Vent Assembly)  
WARNING  
Failure to follow the instructions could result in ue gas leakage into the combustion air or indoor  
air, resulting in unsafe or unreliable operation.  
• Do not lubricate concentric gaskets with anything other than water.  
• Do not attempt to cut any piping except as permitted in this section. When cutting these  
sections, make sure  
all cuts are square and allow for proper insertion.  
• Do not attempt to try to mix this concentric pipe with other venting systems.  
1) The 60/100mm terminal section and concentric reducing elbow supplied with the boiler are not used in  
80/125mm vent systems. The components listed in Table 7.3b are required for 80/125mm installations and  
are not supplied with the boiler. Before starting assembly of an 80/125mm vent system, make sure that  
the planned installation is in accordance with the “Vent System Design” section of this manual and that  
all required 80/125mm vent components are on hand. These components are available through Crown  
distributors.

19 1/2” Straight  
39” Straight  
These sections have a plain male end (without beads - see Figure 7.31a). They are always cut from the  
male end. Sections not shown on the above list may not be cut. These sections have beads on the male end  
(Figure 7.31b).  
Figure 7.31a: Cuttable Straight Section  
Figure 7.31b: Non Cuttable Straight Section  
25  
3) (contd.) To cut the straight sections listed above refer to Figure 7.32 and the following instructions:  
a) Determine the required length of the outer pipe. When doing this allow an additional 1” of length for  
insertion into the female end of the adjoining pipe. Mark the cut line on the outer pipe.  
b) Remove the plastic inner pipe by pulling it out from the female end.  
c) Cut the OUTER PIPE ONLY at the point marked in Step (a) using aviation shears, a hacksaw, or an  
abrasive wheel cutter. Be careful to cut the pipe square. De burr the cut end with a le or emery cloth.  
d) Make an insertion mark 1” from the male end of the outer pipe.  
e) Cut the plastic inner pipe so that it will protrude 3/8” beyond the male end of the outer pipe when  
reinstalled in the outer pipe. Use a ne tooth hacksaw or a PVC saw to cut the plastic pipe and be careful  
to cut the pipe square. De burr the cut edge of the plastic pipe with a le, razor blade, or ne sandpaper.  
f) Reinstall the inner pipe.  
4) Joining Pipe -  
a) Start assembly of the vent system at the boiler. Lubricate the brown gasket in the boiler vent collar with a  
few drops of water.  
b) Push the male end of the rst tting into the boiler collar until it bottoms out. The male end of cuttable  
sections should go 1” into the collar until the insertion mark (made in Step 3d above) is covered. On other  
ttings, the bead on the male pipe will bottom out on the collar (Figure 7.33b).  
c) The male end of cuttable ttings must be held to the collar with three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. Drill  
a 1/8 hole through both outer pipes to start this screw. Use a drill stop or other means to ensure that  
the drill bit does not penetrate more than 3/8” into the outer pipe. Do not use a sheet metal screw  
longer than 1/2” (Figure 7.33a).  
d) Use locking bands (provided with all ttings) to secure non-cuttable pipe, as well as ttings, to the boiler  
collar (Figure 7.33b).  
e) Use the same method to join all remaining vent components except for the terminal.

27  
5) 80/125mm Horizontal Terminal Installation -  
a) Cut a 5-1/2” diameter hole through the exterior wall at the planned location of the horizontal terminal.  
b) Measure distance “L” from the outside surface of the exterior wall to the end of the last tting as shown in  
Figure 7.34a.  
c) Add 1-1/4” to distance “L”. Carefully mark this length on the pipe as shown in Figure 7.34b.  
d) Remove the inner pipe from the terminal, by gently pulling on it from the male end. Set aside.  
e) Cut the outer pipe only at the point marked in Step (c) using aviation shears, a hacksaw, or an abrasive  
wheel cutter. Be careful to cut the pipe square. De-burr the cut end with a le or Emory cloth.  
f) Reinstall the inner pipe in the terminal, making sure that the female end of this pipe is completely  
bottomed out over the aluminum male connection visible behind the air intake grill. Place a mark on the  
inner pipe 3/8” beyond the end of the outer pipe (Figure 7.34c). Use a ne tooth hacksaw to cut the pipe  
and be careful to cut the pipe square (if necessary, the pipe can be removed from the terminal again for  
cutting). De-burr the cut edge of the pipe with a le, razor blade, or ne sandpaper.  
g) Make a mark on the terminal section 1” from the cut end of the outer pipe as shown in Figure 7.34c.  
h) Slip the terminal section through the wall from the outside. Pass the terminal through the inner wall plate  
and push into the last section of vent pipe until the mark made in Step (g) is not longer visible (Figure  
7.34d). Secure the terminal to the last piece of pipe with three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. Drill a 1/8  
hole through both outer pipes to start these screws. Use a drill stop or other means to ensure that  
the drill bit does not penetrate more than 3/8” into the outer pipe. Do not use a sheet metal screw  
longer than 1/2”.  
i) Slip the outer wall plate over the terminal and secure to the wall (Figure 7.34d). Apply a 1/8” bead of  
weather resistant RTV over the joint between the outside wall plate and the terminal. Secure the other  
wall plate to the inside wall.

6) Vertical Terminal Installation - In addition to the vertical terminal, either a Flat Roof Flashing (PN 230533) or  
Sloped Roof Flashing (PN 230535) is required for this installation.  
a) Determine the center line of the terminal location on the roof. If the roof is at, cut a 5-1/2” diameter hole  
for the terminal. If the roof is sloped, cut a hole large enough for the terminal to pass through the roof while  
remaining plumb. Caution: If the boiler is installed directly under the hole, cover it while cutting the  
hole to prevent saw dust and other debris from falling into the boiler.  
b) Install the roof ashing using standard practice for the roong system on the structure.  
c) If not already done, assemble the venting system inside the building. The last section of pipe needs to be on  
the same center line as the terminal and within 19-1/4” of the top edge of the roof ashing (Figure 7.35a).  
d) Measure distance “H” from the top edge of the storm collar to the end of the last tting as shown in Figure  
7.35a.  
e) Add 1” to distance “H”. Carefully mark this length on the pipe as shown in Figure 7.35b.  
f) Cut the outer pipe only at the point marked in Step (e) using aviation shears, a hacksaw, or an abrasive  
wheel cutter. Be careful to cut the pipe square. De-burr the cut end with a le or emery cloth.  
g) Place a mark on the aluminum inner pipe 3/8” beyond the end of the outer pipe (Figure 7.35b). Use a ne  
tooth hacksaw to cut the aluminum pipe and be careful to cut the pipe square. De-burr the cut edge of the  
aluminum pipe with a le or emery cloth.  
h) Make a mark on the terminal section 1” from the cut end of the outer pipe as shown in Figure 7.35b.  
i) Slip the terminal section through the roof from the outside. Push into the last section of vent pipe until the  
mark the mark made in Step (h) is not longer visible. Secure the terminal to the last piece of pipe with three  
#10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. Drill a 1/8 hole through both outer pipes to start these screws. Use a drill  
stop or other means to ensure that the drill bit does not penetrate more than 3/8” into the outer pipe.  
Do not use a sheet metal screw longer than 1/2”.  
j) Secure the terminal section to the inside of the roof structure using the mounting bracket provided with the  
terminal Figure 7.35c).  
7) Chimney Chase Installation - A vertical 80/125mm vent system can be installed in an unused masonry chimney.  
This installation is similar to other vertical installations with the following exceptions (Also see Figure 7.36):  
a) The chimney chase elbow kit (PN230530) is used at the base of the chimney. This kit consists of a support  
elbow and a mounting bracket. Slip the elbow over the M10 x 35 screw in the support bracket. Determine  
the desired vertical location of the support elbow in the chimney and mark the location of the pin on the back  
of the support bracket on the back wall of the chimney. Drill a 7/16”dia x 2-1/2” deep hole at this location to  
support the back of the bracket. The front of the elbow mounting bracket is supported by the bottom of the  
opening into the chimney or by an installer supplied bracket.  
b) Construct a weather-tight at roof to cover the top of the old chimney. Install the vertical terminal through this  
roof using the at roof ashing.

WARNING  
Do not attempt to construct a vertical vent system inside a chimney that is used to vent a  
replace or other appliances.  
Do not attempt to construct a vertical vent system inside a chimney ue adjacent to another  
ue used by a replace or other appliances.  
Figure 7.36: Chimney Chase Installation

E. Condensate Trap and Drain Line  
All condensate which forms in the boiler or vent system leaves the boiler through the condensate trap.  
This trap allows condensate to drain while retaining ue gases in the boiler. This boiler is supplied with a  
length of drain hose already attached. Route this hose to a drain or other suitable location to dispose of the  
condensate. Note the following when disposing of the condensate:  
If the condensate drain line must be extended, construct the extension from PVC or CPVC pipe.  
Insert the hose provided with the boiler into the end of the extension as shown in Figure 7.40.  
Condensate is slightly acidic. Do not use metallic pipe or ttings in the condensate drain line. Do not  
route the drain line through areas that could be damaged by leaking condensate.  
Some jurisdictions may require that the condensate be neutralized before being disposed of. Dispose  
of condensate in accordance with local codes.  
Do not route, or terminate, the condensate drain line in areas subjected to freezing temperatures.  
If the point of condensate disposal is above the trap, it will be necessary to use a condensate pump to  
move the condensate to the drain. In such cases, select a condensate pump that is approved for use  
with condensing furnaces. If overow from this pump would result in property damage, select a pump  
with an overow switch and use this switch to shut down the boiler. Alternatively, if heat is a necessity,  
use the overow switch to trigger an alarm.  
Do not attempt to move the trap from the location shown in Figure 7.40. Do not attempt to substitute  
another trap for the one provided with the boiler.  
WARNING  
Failure to install the condensate trap and condensate drain in accordance with the above  
instructions could cause ue gas to enter the building, resulting in personal injury or death.  
CAUTION  
Boiler condensate is corrosive. Route condensate drain line in a manner such that any  
condensate leakage will not cause property damage. Some jurisdictions may require that  
condensate be neutralized prior to disposal.  
Figure 7.40: Condensate Piping Arrangement

VIII Gas Piping  
Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver adequate gas for the boiler to re at the nameplate input at  
an inlet pressure between the minimum and maximum values shown on the rating plate. For more information  
ANSI Z223.1 /NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1  
on gas line sizing, consult the utility or the National Fuel Gas Code  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.  
The gas line is connected to the boiler using the 3/4” NPT female connection in the tailpiece shown in Figure  
8.1. This tailpiece is supplied in the boiler’s tting package, along with the ber gasket shown.  
Figure 8.2 shows the nished gas piping connection to the MWC boiler. A sediment trap must be installed  
upstream of all gas controls. Install the factory provided manual shut-off valve outside the jacket with a ground  
joint union as shown.  
The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler in operation. When doing this,  
the boiler and its individual shut-off must be disconnected from the rest of the system during any pressure  
testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. When pressure testing the gas system at pressures of  
1/2 psi or less, isolate the boiler from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.

IX System Piping  
CAUTION  
Install boiler so that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping,  
spraying, rain, etc) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, etc).  
Operation of this boiler with continuous return temperatures below 86F can cause severe heat  
exchanger corrosion damage.  
Operation of this boiler in a system having frequent additions of make-up water can cause severe  
heat exchanger damage.  
Do not use toxic additives, such as automotive antifreeze, in a hydronic system.  
Before connecting boiler, make sure that the system is free of sediment, ux and any residual boiler  
water additives. Flush the system if necessary to ensure that these contaminates are removed.  
A. Standard Piping  
Figure 9.1 shows typical boiler system connections on a single zone system. Additional information on hydronic system  
design may be found in Installation of Residential Hydronic Systems (Pub. #200) published by the Hydronics Institute in  
Berkeley Heights, NJ. The components in this system and their purposes are as follows:  
1) Relief valve (Included & Required) – Install the relief valve in the 3/4” connections on the top of the boiler as shown  
in Figure 9.3. The relief valve shipped with the boiler is set to open at 30 psi. This valve may be replaced with  
one having a setting at or below the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) shown on the ASME plate  
attached to the heat exchanger. If the valve is replaced, the replacement must have a relief capacity in excess of  
the Minimum Relief Valve Capacity shown on the rating plate.  
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve to a location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property  
damage if the valve opens. The end of the discharge pipe must terminate in an unthreaded pipe. If the relief  
valve discharge is not piped to a drain, it must terminate at least 6 inches above the oor. Do not run relief valve  
discharge piping through an area that is prone to freezing. The termination of the relief valve discharge piping must  
be in an area where it is not likely to become plugged by debris.  
DANGER  
Pipe relief valve discharge to a safe location.  
Do not install a valve in the relief valve discharge line.  
Do not move relief valve from factory specied location.  
Do not plug relief valve discharge.  
2) Circulator (Included & Required) – This boiler is equipped with a factory piped circulator, which is often the only  
circulator required. Figure 9.2 is a performance curve for this circulator. Note that this curve is has been adjusted to  
take into the account of all internal boiler piping. This performance curve therefore shows the amount of ow that  
can be achieved at various heating system pressure drops.  
3) Throttling Valve or Flow Restrictor - This boiler is equipped with a differential pressure switch to prove that there is  
ow through the boiler before allowing it to re. Reliable operation of this switch requires that there be a head loss  
across the heating system of at least 5.1ft wc. In order to assure that this head loss will always be present, either a  
throttling valve must be installed as shown in Figure 9.1 or the ow restrictor shown in Figure 9.4 must be installed.  
Use the following guidelines to determine which device to use:  
If the boiler is installed an a single zone system, or one having zone valves, install the throttling valve. At start-  
up, start with this valve fully open and then close it just enough to obtain reliable operation of the pressure  
switch.  
If the boiler is connected to a primary-secondary system (Figure 9.5), install the orice in the supply tailpiece  
as shown in Figure 9.4.  
If the boiler is connected to a circulator zone system, primary-secondary piping must be used. Install the orice  
as shown in Figure 9.4.  
36  
Figure 9.1: Basic Piping  
CAUTION  
Failure to install the throttling valve or ow restrictor described on the boiler supply could result  
in unreliable boiler operation  
4) Expansion Tank (Included & Required) – This boiler is equipped with a built in expansion tank. This tank is suitable  
for use on systems having a water content of up to 40.6 Gal. This tank is pressurized to approximately 14.7 psi.  
5) On systems having water content in excess of 40.6 gallons, a second expansion tank must be provided. Locate  
this tank as close as possible to the return connection on the boiler.  
6) As shipped, the expansion tank is suitable for installations where the vertical distance between the relief valve and  
the highest point in the system is 23ft or less. Consult the factory if it is desired to install this boiler on a system  
having a greater height.  
7) Fill Valve (Required) – Either a manual or automatic ll valve may be used. Connect the ll as shown in Figure 9.1.  
8) Automatic Air Vent (Included & Required) – The boiler is equipped with an automatic air vent. Manual vents will  
usually be required in other parts of the system to remove air during initial ll.  
9) Low Water Protection – This boiler is equipped with a ow switch which will only allow the boiler to re when there  
is ow through the boiler, and therefore water in the heat exchanger.  
10) Isolation Valves (Optional - Not Shown) – Isolation valves are useful if the boiler must be drained, as they will  
eliminate having to drain and rell the entire system.  
11) Drain Valve (Required) – Install a 3/4” boiler drain (not supplied) in the return piping as shown in Figure 9.1.

Figure 9.2: Circulator Performance Curve (Adjusted For Pressure Drop Through  
Boiler)  
B. Boiler Connections  
Boiler supply and return connections are located on the bottom of the boiler as shown in Figure 9.4. Copper 3/4” tail  
pieces are provided in the tting bag along with gaskets. Sweat the rst copper ttings to these tail pieces and then  
connect the tail pieces to the boiler using the gaskets provided. If required, install the ow restrictor in the supply as  
shown in Figure 9.4.  
The relief valve is installed using the union connection on top of the boiler as shown in Figure 9.3. Route the relief  
valve discharge to a safe location as described on Page 36.  
Figure 9.3: Relief Valve Installation  
38  
Figure 9.4: Supply And Return Tailpiece Installation  
C. Piping for Special Situations  
Certain types of heating systems have additional requirements. Some examples follow:  
1) Primary-Secondary Piping – Primary-secondary piping is required when circulator zoning is used or when the  
system ow rate must be greater than 5.5 GPM. In these cases, the piping shown in Figure 9.5 is used so that the  
ow through the system is completely independent of the ow through the boiler. This ensures reliable operation of  
the boiler’s ow switch.  
When assembling the piping shown in Figure 9.5, be sure to observe the minimum dimensions shown. The  
minimum pipe size of the primary piping in the vicinity of the tees is 1 1/4”. At least 11” (8 diameters) of 1-1/4”  
straight pipe must be installed upstream of the tees as shown. At least 5 1/2” (4 diameters) of 1-1/4” straight pipe  
must be installed downstream of the tees.  
2) Piping with a Chiller – If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel as  
shown in Figure 9.6. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.  
3) Air Handlers – Where the boiler is connected to air handlers through which refrigerated air passes, use ow control  
valves in the boiler piping or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during the cooling cycle.  
D. Internal Boiler Piping  
Schematics of the internal boiler piping are shown in Figures 9.7 and 9.8 for the MWC116E*T (combi) and  
MWC116E*L (heat-only) models respectively. A schematic of the internal domestic hot water piping for the MWCE*T is  
shown in Figure 10.3.

X. Domestic Water Piping  
CAUTION  
If the MWC is connected to a water supply having a hardness in excess of 200PPM, scale  
may prematurely form in the DHW heat exchanger, signicantly shortening its life. If  
necessary, soften the water upstream of the cold water connection to the MWC.  
If the MWC is equipped for domestic hot water (DHW) production, connect the domestic hot water piping  
as shown in Figure 10.1. Connections to the boiler are made with 1/2” copper tail pieces as shown in Figure  
10.2. Solder the rst tting to these tail pieces before mounting them on the boiler. The components in this  
system and their functions are as follows:  
1) Anti-scald Devices (Required - Not Shown) - Install anti-scald protection devices in accordance with local  
codes. In the absence of any local Codes, install such devices as required by the Uniform Plumbing Code  
(IAPMO UPC).  
WARNING  
Like all domestic water heaters, the MWC is capable of generating water that is hot enough to  
cause injury or death due to scalding. To minimize the risk of scalding:  
Set domestic hot water (DHW) thermostat as low as possible (see the Start-up Section of this  
manual for the location of this thermostat.  
Feel water before showering or bathing.  
If anti-scald or anti-chill protection is required, use devices specically designed for such  
service. Install and maintain these devices in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
2) Flow Restrictor (Recommended) - If domestic hot water is drawn from the MWC at a rate in excess of  
the rating in Table 2.2, the temperature of the hot water may be too low to be of use. The use of a ow  
restrictor will prevent this problem by limiting the rate at which water can pass through the DHW heat  
exchanger. If a restrictor is used, select one having a rating in GPM approximately equal to that shown in  
Table 2.2.  
3) Pressure Relief Valve (Required) - Limits the pressure in the domestic hot water piping. Use a valve  
designed for DHW service, such as the Watts #3L or #53L. Note that this is a pressure relief valve, not a  
T&P valve. Select a valve with a pressure setting less than or equal to 145 psi. Pipe the discharge to a  
safe location using piping the same size as the discharge connection on the valve.  
4) Hose Bib Valves (Recommended) - These valves permit the DHW plate heat exchanger be periodically  
“back ushed” to remove sediment.  
5) Globe or Ball Valve (Recommended) - Used to aid in back ushing the heat exchanger and to isolate the  
DHW piping if it must be serviced. In addition, the upstream valve may be used to limit the DHW ow if  
necessary.

XI Wiring  
WARNING  
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction  
or, in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70),  
and / or, the Canadian Electrical Code Part I ,CSA C22.1,Electrical Code.  
1) All electrical connections are line voltage (120 VAC) and are located under the cover on the cover on the top of the  
control box (Fig 11.1). To access these connections, use the following procedure:  
a) Remove the three screws on the top of the front jacket panel and lift off the panel.  
b) There are three screws in the bottom of each side jacket panel: two near the front and one near the back.  
Remove the two screws near the front and loosen the screw near the back.  
c) Spread the side jacket panels apart slightly, slide the control box forward and then rotate the control box down  
as shown in Figure 11.1.  
d) Remove the cover shown in Figure 11.1 to access the electrical connections.  
2) Crown supplies the “Whip” shown in Figure 11.2 to route the power and thermostat wiring from an installer supplied  
junction box into the boiler’s control box. This Whip is designed to provide proper strain relief at the boiler and also  
permits the control box to be easily slid in and out of the boiler with all wiring connections intact. A 7/8 hole is located  
in the metal rail behind the control box as shown in Figure 11.3. Power and thermostat wiring is routed into the boiler  
from underneath (Figure 11.5) and the BX connector on the “boiler end” of the Whip is secured in this 7/8” opening.  
3) Route the whip leads into the electrical connection compartment. DO NOT CUT THE WHIP LEADS ON THE  
BOILER END.  
4) Two terminal blocks are located in the electrical connection compartment: one for power connections and one for the  
thermostat connections. Figure 11.3 shows the location of these terminal blocks in the connection compartment.  
5) Connect the whip leads to the terminals as shown in Figure 11.4:

Important: Remove the factory installed jumper from the thermostat terminals (Figure 10.4)  
6) Reinstall the compartment cover removed in Step #1d.  
7) Figure 11.5 shows connections at the junction box end of the whip. Provide a dedicated circuit for the boiler with  
at least one emergency shut-off switch located in accordance with applicable codes. The thermostat connections  
provided are 120VAC. If a thermostat is directly connected to these leads, it and all intervening wiring, must be  
suitable for use with 120VAC power. If it is desired to control the boiler with a low voltage thermostat, or other low  
voltage control system, use a fan center to do so as shown in Figure 11.6  
WARNING  
Attempting to directly connect a low voltage thermostat and/or low voltage wiring to the orange  
thermostat leads could cause property damage and/or create hazard of re or electricutuion.

XII Start-up and Checkout  
NOTE  
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with the gas train assembly provided  
on the boiler when the boiler underwent the tests specied in Z21.13.  
WARNING  
Never attempt to ll a hot empty boiler  
Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:  
1) If not already done, ush the system to remove sediment and debris. This should be done with the boiler  
isolated from the system.  
2) Fill the boiler and hydronic system with water and purge the system of air. To do this:  
a) Unscrew the cap on the automatic air vent by one turn and leave open permanently. This air vent is  
located on top of the circulator (Figure 12.1).  
b) Open the ll valve and pressurize the boiler to approximately 15psi  
c) Bleed air out of each manual air vent in the system until a steady stream of water appears. Start with  
the lowest manual vents in the system and work towards the highest. If a manual ll valve is used,  
periodically add water to the system so that the pressure at the boiler is maintained at approximately  
15 psi.  
d) Remove the shaft cover screw on the front of the circulator (Figure 12.2). Using a screw driver,  
manually spin the shaft in the direction of rotation shown on the pump until a small amount of water  
appears at the end of the shaft. Replace the shaft cover screw.  
e) At the end of the purging process, make sure that the pressure gauge on the boiler reads between 5  
and 19 psi.  
f) Make sure that a manual air vents are closed. If an automatic ll valve is used, make sure that it is set  
to the automatic position.

WARNING  
Never use a ame to check for gas leaks.  
Make sure that the area around the boiler is clear and free from combustible materials,  
gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids  
CAUTION  
Leaks in the hydronic system can result in the addition of excessive amounts of make-  
up water. This can cause severe damage to the boiler’s heat exchanger from corrosion or  
calcium deposits. Repair any leaks in the system immediately.  
3) Check all new water and gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are lled with air. Fix any  
leaks found immediately. See the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1  
for additional information on testing and purging gas lines.  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,  
4) Vent system must be complete and free of obstructions before attempting to re boiler.  
5) Inspect all line voltage wiring for loose or uninsulated connections.  
6) Start the boiler using the lighting instructions on page 56. After the power to the boiler is turned on:  
a) Initiate a call for heat from the thermostat. Once this is done, Lamp 1 on the control panel (Figure  
12.3) should ash every 4 seconds.  
b) Rotate the Heating System Knob clockwise from “0” to the maximum supply water temperature  
setting (at approximately 5:00) . Lamp 1 should then ash every two seconds and the boiler  
should light after approximately 15 - 30 seconds. Once the boiler has lit, Lamps 1 and 3 will ash  
continuously.  
More information on the boiler controls and indicator lamps is presented in the Operation Section of this  
manual. Note: On a new installation, there is a good chance that one of the following two problems will  
occur:  
The differential water pressure switch may not close. If this switch does not close after 180 seconds,  
the boiler will lockout. Lamp #2 will stay on continuously and Lamp #1 will ash. If this happens, look  
for air in the system or insufcient pressure drop across the boiler supply and return connections.  
If the latter problem is suspected, close the throttle valve on the supply further. If no throttling valve  
is present, make sure that the ow restrictor is installed (See Part IX). To reset the boiler, turn the  
Heating System Knob to “0” for a few seconds and then return it to the max water temperature  
setting.

Figure 12.3: Control Panel  
The burner may not light on the rst try. The most likely cause of this problem on a new installation  
is a gas line that has not been completely purged. Other possibilities include inadequate inlet gas  
pressure or a boiler that is congured for the wrong fuel. If the boiler does not light on the rst try, it  
will go into a lockout condition. When this happens, the Flame Lockout Lamp (Figure 12.3) will be  
illuminated. In addition, Lamps 1 and 3 will ash and Lamp 2 will be on continuously. To reset the  
boiler, push the Flame Reset Button shown in Figure 12.3 AND rotate the Heating System Knob back  
to “0” for a few seconds.  
7) Inspect the ame visible through the window. The ame should be stable and mostly blue (Fig.12.4).  
No yellow tipping should be present; however, intermittent ecks of yellow and orange in the ame are  
normal.  
8) Check the inlet and manifold pressures. To do this, use the following procedure:  
a) Remove the inner cover (gure 12.5). Note: this is necessary in order to read the manifold pressure  
accurately because the gas valve regulator is referenced to the burner area.  
Figure 12.4: Main Burner Flame  
53  
b) Loosen the screw in the gas inlet tap on the gas valve and connect a manometer (see Figure 12.6).  
c) Make sure the boiler is at high re. To do this:  
On heat only boilers, make sure that the heating system knob is rotated fully clockwise and that  
the supply temperature is less than 150F during the entire conduct of this test.  
For combi units, rotate the DHW knob fully clockwise and open enough hot water xtures to keep  
the exiting hot water temperature under 110F during the entire conduct of this test.  
d) Check the inlet pressure with all the MWC, and all other gas appliances turned on and off. The inlet  
pressure at the boiler must be within the following limits regardless of what combination of appliances  
is ring:  
Inlet Press. (inches w.c.)  
Minimum  
Natural Gas  
5.6  
LP Gas  
10.4  
Maximum  
10.5  
13.0  
If the inlet pressure falls outside of these limits, nd and correct the cause of the problem before  
proceeding further.  
e) Connect a manometer to the manifold (outlet) pressure tap on the gas valve (Figure 12.6).  
f) Read the high re manifold pressure. It should be set at:  
Natural Gas  
LP Gas  
Manifold Press. (inches w.c.)  
4.8 +/-0.25” w.c.  
10.3 +/- 0.50” w.c.  
g) If an adjustment is necessary, pry the clear plastic cap off of the regulator. Turn the outer brass nut  
clockwise to increase the manifold pressure or counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure.  
h) Check the low re manifold pressure. To do this, turn off the boiler and remove one of the modulation  
leads (Figure 12.6). Turn the boiler back on. Read the low re manifold pressure. It should be set at:  
WARNING  
The gas valve manifold pressures are factory set and should rarely need to be adjusted.  
Failure to adjust the gas valve in strict accordance with these instructions could result in  
unreliable operation, property damage, personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide  
poisoning. When making adjustments, pay particular attention to the following precautions:  
Be certain that the inlet pressure are within the limits shown before attempting to make  
manifold pressure adjustments.  
Be sure that the boiler is not modulating when making the high re adjustment  
Be sure to remove the inner cover before reading or adjusting the manifold pressure.

9) Remove the monometer and make sure that the inlet and manifold pressure tap screws are closed  
10) Check the entire gas train for leaks. Fix any leaks found immediately.  
11) Run the gas valve safety shut-down test. With the boiler ring, close the gas cock upstream of the boiler.  
The gas valve should close as soon as loss of ame is detected (within a few seconds of closing the gas  
cock). The boiler should then make one attempt to relight before going into a hard lockout. To reset the  
boiler, push the red reset button, rotate the heating system knob back to zero for a few seconds, then  
rotate the heating system knob fully clockwise.  
12) Run a combustion test with the boiler operating at high re. CO2 or O2 readings should be reasonably  
close to the values shown in Table 12.8. The CO level should be less than 50PPM. Consult the factory if  
the CO level is exceeded or if the CO2 or O2 are signicantly different from the valves shown.

13) Verify that the ue system is tight and securely assembled in accordance with the Venting section in this  
manual.  
14) Replace all jacket panels  
15) After the boiler has operated for at least 30 minutes recheck the boiler and system for leaks. Repair ant  
leaks found before leaving the boiler in operation.  
16) Test any external limits or other controls in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
17) Verify that the boiler starts and stops in response to calls for heat from the heating thermostat/s. Make  
sure that the appropriate circulators also start and stop in response to the thermostats.  
18) Set the Heating System Knob and the DHW knob for the desired target supply and DHW temperatures  
(see the Operation section for more information on how to do this).

Figure 13.1: Control Panel  
Figure 13.1 shows the control panel for the MWC boiler. The purpose of the adjustments and lamps on this panel are  
as follows:  
1) Lamps 1, 2, 3 - These lamps show the status of the boiler by lighting and/or ashing in various combinations.  
Table 13.4 shows lamp codes that will be seen during normal operation. Lamp codes indicating a problem are  
shown in Section XV.  
2) Heating System Knob - A detail of the heating system knob is shown in Figure 13.2. This knob has three discrete  
settings:  
Off - Boiler will not respond to a call for heat or domestic hot water (DHW). The boiler will re, if necessary,  
to protect itself from freezing. In addition, it will operate the circulator and the 3-way valve for a few seconds  
every 24 hours to prevent these devices from sticking.  
The “Off” setting is also used to reset the boiler after it experiences a lockout. To reset the boiler, rotate the  
Heating System Knob to “Off” for a few seconds and then return it to its original position (if the lockout is due  
to a loss of ame, it will ALSO be necessary push the Flame Reset Button).  
Summer Operation (Combi Only) - Boiler will not respond to a call for heat from the heating thermostat, but  
will respond to a call for DHW.  
Target Supply Temperature Setting - When the Heating System Knob is rotated clockwise to any position  
from “Off” the boiler will respond to a call for heat. During the call for heat, the boiler will attempt to maintain  
a “target” supply temperature. This target supply temperature can bet set anywhere between 100F and 178F  
(Figure 13.2) .  
3) DHW Thermostat (Combi Boilers Only) - This knob determines the target domestic hot water (DHW) temperature.  
It is adjustable from 95F to 131F (Figure 13.3). If a call for heat is present at the same time as a call for DHW, the  
call for DHW has priority; no heat will be delivered to the heating system until the call for DHW is satised.  
4) Flame Reset Button - This button is used to reset the boiler in the event that it locks out due to failure to establish  
a ame. In addition to pressing this button, it is also necessary to rotate the Heating System Knob back to “0” for a  
few seconds to reset the boiler.  
5) Flame Lockout Lamp - Illuminates if the boiler locks out due to failure to establish a ame.

Figure 13.2: Heating System Knob  
NOTE  
Since a room thermostat will almost always be used to initiate a call for heat (either directly or  
through zone controls), it is generally recommended that the Heating System Knob be left at  
the appropriate Target Supply Temperature year round.

Figure 13.3: Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Thermostat  
WARNING  
The domestic water thermostat on the Maui is not intended to serve as a scald protection device.  
Under certain conditions, it is possible for the DHW temperature to climb signicantly above the  
DHW Thermostat set point. Like all domestic water heaters, the MWC is capable of generating  
water that is hot enough to cause injury or death due to scalding. To minimize the risk of scalding:  
Set domestic hot water (DHW) thermostat as low as possible (see the Start-up Section of this  
manual for the location of this thermostat.  
Feel water before showering or bathing.  
If anti-scald or anti-chill protection is required, use devices specically designed for such  
service. Install and maintain these devices in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
59  
Sequence of Operation  
(Also Refer to Figures 9.7, 9.8, 10.3, 11.7)  
1) Upon a call for heat from the room thermostat, the circulator is started.  
2) If the differential pressure switch connected between the supply and return sees a pressure in excess of 5.1 ft  
w.c., it closes, allowing the start sequence to continue. If the switch does not see 5.1ft w.c. after 180seconds, the  
boiler goes into lockout.  
3) If the common and normally closed contacts on the air pressure switch are made, the inducer starts.  
4) The air pressure switch measures the difference between the combustion air pressure in the cabinet and the  
negative pressure generated at a venturi located in the inducer discharge. In this way it measures the air ow  
through the boiler. If the pressure across the air pressure switch exceeds approximately 0.64” w.c., the switch will  
close. If the air pressure does not close after 4 minutes of inducer operation, the boiler will go into lockout.  
5) After the air pressure switch closes, current can pass through the normally closed supply water and ue gas  
safety limits to the ignition module, initiating a call for burner operation.  
6) The ignition module generates an ignition spark and opens the valve. The presence of ame is detected through  
a separate ame rod. If no ame is detected after 10 seconds, the boiler will go into lockout. If the ame is proven  
and this proof is subsequently lost at any point during the burner cycle, the boiler will attempt to re-light once, then  
go into lockout.  
7) When responding to a call for heat, the boiler will attempt to maintain the target supply temperature selected by  
the Heating System Knob. The boiler does this by monitoring the supply temperature sensor shown in Figure  
9.7/9.8 and modulating the input based on the difference between the current supply temperature and the  
target supply temperature. Modulation is achieved by varying a 0-24VDC voltage across a coil on the gas valve  
regulator (0V=minimum input).  
8) If the supply water temperature exceeds the target supply temperature while the call for heat is present, the  
burner will shut down and the circulator will continue to run. The burner will relight when the supply temperature  
drops below the target temperature.  
9) If the supply temperature exceeds 221F (which should never happen unless there is a problem with the supply  
sensor), the manual reset supply water high limit will open.  
10) If the condensate trap becomes blocked, the condensate level will rise to the point where it covers two electrical  
contacts: a contact connected to ground, and a contact in the ame rod lead. The condensate will complete an  
electrical circuit between these two contacts, grounding out the unrectied ame signal. This will be detected by  
the ignition module as a loss of ame and result in a lockout.  
11) If the ue temperature exceeds 248F, the manual reset supply water high limit will open. This protects the PPs  
venting from excessive temperatures.  
12) When responding to a call for heat, combi boilers use exactly the same sequence of operation as heat-only  
models. When a combi boiler receives a call for domestic hot water (DHW), it responds as follows:  
a) The ow switch shown in Figure 11.7 detects a call for DHW draw when a hot water xture is opened having  
a ow rate in excess of approximately 0.5 GPM.  
b) The main control drives the 3-way diverting valve so that all boiler water ow is directed though the plate heat  
exchanger.  
c) If not already running, the circulator starts  
d) The boiler res after going through the same start sequence described in steps (3-6) above.  
e) The boiler monitors the exiting DHW temperature using the sensor shown in Figure 11.7. The boiler’s  
microprocessor control determines the target boiler supply temperature that is needed to meet the DHW  
demand and modulates the input accordingly.

XIV. Service and Maintenance  
IMPORTANT  
Warranty does not cover boiler damage or malfunction if the following steps are not  
performed at the intervals specied.  
1) Continuously:  
a) Keep the area around the boiler free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors  
and liquids.  
b) Keep the area around the combustion air inlet terminal free from contaminates .  
c) Keep the boiler room ventilation openings open and unobstructed.  
2) Monthly Inspections:  
a) Inspect the vent system to verify that it is open, unobstructed and free from leakage or deterioration.  
Call the service technician to make repairs if needed.  
b) Inspect the condensate drain system to verify it is leak tight, open and unobstructed. Call the service  
technician if the condensate drain system requires maintenance.  
c) Inspect the water and gas lines to verify they are free from leaks. Call the service technician to make  
repairs if required.  
d) Check the pressure on the boiler and make sure that it is approximately 15psi. If the pressure is less  
than 5psi, add water to bring the pressure up to 15psi.  
CAUTION  
Water leaks can cause severe corrosion damage to the boiler or other system components. Im-  
mediately repair any leaks found.  
3) Annual Inspections and Service: In addition to the inspections listed above the following should be  
performed by a qualied service technician once every year:  
a) Follow the procedure for turning the boiler off found in the MWC Series Lighting and Operating  
Instructions.  
b) Inspect the wiring to verify the conductors are in good condition and attached securely.  
c) Access the combustion chamber. To do this remove the front and side jacket panels as shown in  
Figure 11.1 Remove the inner cover as shown in Figure 12.5. Remove the Combustion Chamber  
cover as shown in Figure 14.1.  
d) Inspect the ns on the primary heat exchanger. If any dirt is observed on the ns, cover the burner to  
protect it from falling debris and clean the heat exchanger with a soft brush.  
CAUTION  
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause  
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.  
62  
Figure 14.1: Removing Combustion Chamber Cover  
WARNING  
Soot deposits in the ue passages are a sign that the boiler may be operating at high carbon  
monoxide (CO) levels. After cleaning the boiler of soot deposits, check the CO level in the ue gas  
to insure that the boiler is operating properly.  
If it is necessary to check CO, use a combustion analyzer, or other instrument which is designed  
to measure CO in ue gas (see Start-up section). A CO “sniffer” designed for testing CO levels in  
ambient air cannot be used to check boiler combustion.  
A normal CO reading for an MWC series boiler is less than 50ppm (0.005%). A higher reading is  
indicative of a combustion problem.  
Some causes of excessive CO include:  
• Incorrectly sized or drilled burner orice  
• Partially plugged ue passages  
• Improper manifold pressure  
• Partial blockage of vent or intake system  
• Foreign material in burner venturis or burner ports  
• Disconnected regulator reference tube  
• Damaged fan impeller or housing  
• Damaged or missing inducer or ue gas gaskets  
• Distorted or missing combustion chamber or ue collector components.  
• Flue gas recirculation in damaged or improperly assembled concentric venting  
e. Inspect the burner ports for debris. The burner can be cleaned with a soft brush. If the burner shows signs of  
deterioration, replace it.  
f. Inspect the electrodes and ame rod for deposits. Clean as necessary.  
g. Disconnect and remove the inducer from the boiler. The inducer is equipped with sealed ball bearings and  
does not require lubrication. Inspect the impeller and the pressure switch venturi (Figure 14.2) for dirt or  
debris. Clean as necessary with a soft brush.  
h. Inspect the secondary (stainless steel) heat exchanger coil for debris. Clean as necessary by ushing with  
clean water. A soft nylon brush may be used in accessible areas. Drain and ush the inside of the heat  
exchanger and condensate collector as required. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.  
i. Reinstall the inducer. If either of the inducer gaskets show signs of deterioration, replace them.  
j. Inspect the vent system and terminal for obstructions and clean as necessary.  
k. For direct vent appliances, proper reassembly and resealing of the vent-air intake system.  
l. Inspect internal boiler piping for leaks and/or deteriorating gaskets. Repair as necessary.  
m. Remove, inspect, and clean the condensate trap (Figure 14.3). Disconnect the wires from the trap. Use  
pliers to compress the spring clip on the drain hose (the hose leading from the secondary heat exchanger)  
and slide it upwards. Disconnect the drain hose from the trap. After removing the condensate trap from the  
boiler, disassemble the trap in a tray or pan, being careful to note the way in which the oat ball and  
retainer t into the trap. Flush all parts of the trap with water and reassemble. Reinstall the trap on the boiler.  
oat ball  
n. Reinstall the combustion chamber cover, inner cover, and all jacket panels and any wiring removed during  
the inspection/.cleaning process.  
o. Perform the start-up and checkout procedure described in Section XII of this manual.

Service Notes  
1) Orice Size – Sea level orice sizes are:  
Natural Gas – 1.30 mm  
LP Gas – 0.85 mm  
Consult your Crown representative for correct orice sizes for use at altitudes above 2000 ft. Orice for this boiler  
cannot be drilled in the eld.  
2) Operating the Boiler with Inner Cover Removed – For inspection and troubleshooting purposes, this boiler may  
be started and run with the Inner Cover (Figure 12.5) removed.  
3) Pressure Switch – If necessary, the air pressure switch signal may be read using a slant tube or electronic  
monometer connected across the taps on top of the boiler (Figure 14.4). The N.O. contacts on the pressure  
switch make, allowing the boiler to re, when the switch signal exceeds the “make setting” shown below. Once  
the switch is made, the boiler will re as long as the pressure at the switch is above the “break setting” shown  
below. It is normal for the pressure reading across the switch to drop as the boiler heats up.  
Make Setting - 0.64 w.c.  
Break Setting - 0.59 w.c.  
4) Limit Reset Buttons - Manual reset buttons for the ue temperature and supply water limits are located on the  
top of the boiler as shown in Figure 14.4. To access the buttons, unscrew the plastic covers.  
WARNING  
Do not leave the boiler in service with the Inner Cover removed.  
Do not attempt to re this boiler with the Combustion Chamber Cover (Fig. 14.1) removed

In The Commonwealth of Massachusetts  
IMPORTANT  
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires compliance with regulation 248 CMR 4.00 and 5.00 for  
installation of side-wall vented gas appliances as follows:  
(a) For all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in every dwelling, building or struc-  
ture used in whole or in part for residential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Com-  
monwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is less than seven (7) feet above nished  
grade in the area of the venting, including but not limited to decks and porches, the following require-  
ments shall be satised:  
1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.  
At the time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment, the installing plumber  
or gastter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up  
is installed on the oor level where the gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installing plumber  
or gastter shall observe that a battery operated or hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is  
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the side wall horizontal  
vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of  
qualied licensed professionals for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors.  
a. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space  
or an attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed  
on the next adjacent oor level.  
b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision can not be met at the time of completion of  
installation, the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the above requirements;  
provided, however, that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide de-  
tector with an alarm shall be installed.  
84  
2. APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS.  
Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provisions shall comply with  
NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certied.  
3. SIGNAGE.  
A metal or plastic identication plate shall be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a mini-  
mum height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally  
vented gas fueled heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half  
(1/2) inch in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.  
4. INSPECTION.  
The state or local gas inspector of the side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve  
the installation unless, upon inspection, the inspector observes carbon monoxide detectors and signage  
installed in accordance with the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.  
(b) EXEMPTIONS: The following equipment is exempt from 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4:  
1. The equipment listed in Chapter 10 entitled “Equipment Not Required To Be Vented” in the most cur-  
rent edition of NFPA 54 as adopted by the Board;  
2. Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed in a room or structure  
separate from the dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for residential purposes.  
(c) MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS - GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM PROVIDED. When the  
manufacturer of Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas equipment provides a venting  
system design or venting system components with the equipment, the instructions provided by the  
manufacturer for installation of the equipment and the venting system shall include:  
1. Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting system design or the venting system compo-  
nents; and  
2. A complete parts list for the venting system design or venting system.  
(d) MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS - GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDED.  
When the manufacturer of a Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment does  
not provide the parts for venting the ue gases, but identies “special venting systems”, the following  
requirements shall be satised by the manufacturer:  
1. The referenced “special venting system” instructions shall be included with the appliance or equip-  
ment installation instructions; and  
2. The “special venting systems” shall be Product Approved by the Board, and the instructions for that  
system shall include a parts list and detailed installation instructions.  
(e) A copy of all installation instructions for all Product Approved side wall horizontally vented gas fueled  
equipment, all venting instructions, all parts lists for venting instructions, and/or all venting design in-  
structions shall remain with the appliance or equipment at the completion of the installation.
