PRECAUTIONS
Waste oil may contain many foreign materials. Waste oil may also contain
gasoline. Therefore, specific precautions on the handling and storage of waste
oils are to be observed when using, cleaning and maintaining this heater. Use a
screen in a funnel when pouring oil into storage tank to catch foreign
material, i.e., gasket material and sealant fibers, etc. WARNING: This
appliance is not designated for use in hazardous atmospheres containing
flammable vapors or combustible dust, or atmospheres containing
chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons. Do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture. If installed in high moisture atmosphere, a special cover for
the integrated air compressor must be obtained from factory to avoid
rusting of internal raw metals. If this occurs, see trouble-shooting guide for
remedy. Uses only crank case oil, gear oil, hydraulic oils, auto trans. Fluid or #1
and #2 furnace oil. Do not use old, contaminated oils that have been stored in
underground tanks or outside barrels for long periods. Excessive water and
sludge may be present, causing quick filter plugging.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE TO OWNER
AND INSTALLER
To enjoy the long term benefits of burning your used oil in an Omni Waste Oil Boiler, it is
necessary to become familiar with the correct installation operation and maintenance of your new
boiler. Before installing or operating this appliance, make sure you read and understand this
manual.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF
MAINTENANCE
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
------------WARNING------------
Improper Installation, adjustment, alteration service or
maintenance can cause property damage, injury, or loss
of life. For assistance or additional information consult
a qualified installer or service agency. Read these
instructions carefully before installing
Identical to any oil burning appliance, without adequate draft over the fire, the combustion
gases cannot escape the appliance. The flame will lengthen resulting in an overheated
combustion chamber. Even if the heater is installed correctly and adequate draft achieved, a
flue passage blockage will affect the draft. Burning used oil is similar to burning wood. A fine gray
ash accumulates in the chamber and flue passage. This accumulation of ash will eventually affect
the draft. It is important to remove this ash before the draft is affected.
Note:
All illustrations and specifications contained herein are based on
the latest information available at time of publication approval.
Econo Heat reserves the right to make changes at any time
without notice, in material and specifications.

OIL BURNER TECHNOLOGY
Omni’s patented burner technology improves the efficiency of the oil burn process by continuous
stabilization of the oil viscosity. Optimum atomization (spray) is accomplished by precisely pre-
heating the oil and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber. The waste oil enters into
the Oil Pre-Heater Block (figure2) and is pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, then
compressed air from the air compressor (figure1) is mixed with the oil prior to spraying out the
nozzle similar to fuel injection, by breaking up the oil droplets into a finer mist or spray
(atomization). Electrodes mounted just above the nozzle (figure3) provides continuous electrical
arc across electrode to electrode igniting the fine oil mist as it sprays out of the nozzle. Once
ignited the flame is forced into a swirl caused by the burners blower and specially designed flame
cone (figure3) providing a very efficient and thorough burn of the waste oil.
Burner Components
•
Igniter Transformer: (figure1) Supplies high voltage to the electrodes generating
electrical arc igniting the oil.
•
Oil Valve: (figure3) energizes when burner is running and de-energizes when burner is
not running eliminating bleed back of oil out of the Pre-heater block.
•
•
Air Band: (figure1) Adjusts amount of air introduced into the combustion chamber.
Oil Primary Control: (figure1) Controls the oil burner ignition. Checks for flame in the
combustion chamber, if no flame is detected within 45 seconds, the oil primary will

Photo Eye: (figure2) Senses flame in combustion chamber and signals oil primary when
no flame is present.
Igniter Springs: (figure2) Transfers the high voltage from the igniter transformer to the
electrodes (when door is closed)
Air Pressure Gauge: (figure1) Displays air pressure supplied by onboard air
compressor.
Air Compressor: (figure1) Supplies air used within pre-heater block to aid in atomization
of the oil.
Air Muffler/Filter: (figure2) Filters air and muffles the sound generated by the
compressor.
Pre-Heater Control Circuit Board: (figure2) Precisely controls temperature of the Oil
Pre-Heater Block and controls safety feature of not allowing burner to energize until oil
has established operating thermo setpoint or shutdown burner if Pre-Heater Block
temperature falls below shutdown thermo setpoint.
•
Electrodes: (figure3) Provides continuous high voltage electrical arc from electrode to
electrode igniting the waste oil as it is being sprayed out of the nozzle.

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
WARNING
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion will result in hazardous
operating conditions.
Note
If you use a fireplace or a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, you should install an outside
air intake. These devices will rob the boiler and water heater of combustion air.
1. In unconfined spaces in buildings infiltration may be adequate to provide air for
combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight
construction, additional air must be provided as described in Item2. (b) below.
2. Boiler located in confined space:
[Note: Confined space may be defined as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1000 Btuh of total input of all appliances installed in that space.]
(a) All air from inside of building:
Providing infiltration in the rest of the building is adequate, the
confined space may be provided with two permanent openings
communicating directly with another room or rooms of sufficient
volume that the total volume of all spaces meets the criteria for
unconfined space. One opening must be within 12 inches of the
bottom of the enclosure. See Figure 7.

CHIMNEY OR VENT REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Inspect existing chimney to make sure it is clean, the right size, properly constructed and
in good condition before installing boiler. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous
operating condition.
NOTE
Venting must conform with applicable local codes and for the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
1. Chimney must be a Class A chimney.
2. This is a high efficiency boiler which operates with a low stack temperature
which may be subject to condensation in a cool or improperly designed chimney.
Accordingly, the right vent or liner is very important.
a) Masonry chimney with three walls exposed to outdoors may require
the use of a 316 stainless steel liner.
b) Masonry chimney with all inside walls—use a tile liner.

SIDE-WALL VENTING---IMPORTANT NOTE
Two problems arise when side wall venting any oil appliance;
1. There is sometimes an accelerated rate at which soot builds up on the cad-cell,
spinner, etc.
2. There is the potential for severe soot damage to the side of the structure in the
event that the boiler operates at a high smoke level. This can happen for many
reasons, some of which are out of the control of both the installer and
appliance manufacturer.
Econo Heat recommends the use of a chimney to vent our residential oil boilers. If a
power venter must be used, it is the responsibility of the installer and power vent
manufacturer to “engineer” the power vent system.
ECONO HEAT WILL ASSUME NO REPONSIBILITY FOR SOOT DAMAGE
TO SIDING, ETC. FROM A POWER VENTED OIL BOILER. THIS
APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF THE SOOTING.
LOCATING THE BOILER
WARNING
Boiler must not be installed in an area where gasoline, paint or other combustible
materials or flammable vapors or liquids are present.
1. Consider all piping and venting connections before selecting a location. Locate as
close to the chimney as possible, observing the following clearances requirements
from combustible surfaces:
Front ......................24”
Top ......................... 6” above controls
Left Side ................. 6”
Right Side ............... 6”
Back ........................18”
2. Boiler is not intended for installation on combustible floor. Further, to facilitate
servicing it is desirable to raise the boiler at least 8” off the floor. It is
recommended that concrete blocks be employed to build up a foundation. Ensure
that top surface of foundation is level.
18
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions
INSTALLING THE BOILER
Placing The Boiler (OWB-9 – OWB-25)
1. Move the boiler as close as possible to its final location in the crate.
2. Remove the two lag screws holding the rear feet to the skid.
3. Remove the front jacket panel. Cut the band holding the front of the boiler to the
skid.
4. Move the boiler into the final position.
5. Waste Oil Piping: USE ONLY 3/8” nominal ID copper tubing with flare fittings only on the
oil suction from the tank to the oil pump and oil pump to burner. DO NOT use ferrule
fittings or teflon tape on any pipe fittings. Keep suction line approximately 6” from
bottom of oil tank to prevent suction of sludge (Figure 11). Use only an inside oil storage
tank. Do Not draw from an outside tank, especially not an underground tank directly to
burner. A separate transfer pump from an outside tank with proper filtration to the inside
supply tank is acceptable.
6. The fuel pump included with burner is to be mounted at tank level or below. PUMP MUST
BE MOUNTED HORIZONTAL AND LOCATED NEXT TO WASTE OIL SUPPLY TANK.

BREECHING INSTALLATION
The breeching connection on OWB-9, OWB-15 and OWB-25 is 7 inches regardless of
input. Refer to Table 1 for minimum breeching sizes. Breeching run should be as short
as possible with as few elbows a practical. Unless marginal draft conditions exist, a
brametric draft control must be installed in the breeching and should be approximately 18
inches from the boiler breeching connection. Breeching should not project into the
chimney beyond the inside wall of the chimney. Connect the breeching to the chimney
with a thimble or slip joint to facilitate cleaning. See Figure 12.

WATER PIPING CONNECTIONS
1. OWB-9, OWB-15, and OWB-25 boilers are shipped complete with circulating pump.
To make the piping connections to the boiler ready to connect to the system piping,
the following will also be required at a minimum:
1 – Air Purger (same size as supply pipe)
1 – Pressure reducing Fill Valve
1 – Expansion Tank (sized to system design requirements)
1 – Automatic Air Vent
2. The following accessories may also be required, depending upon overall system
design and code requirements:
1 – Low Water Cutoff may be required if boiler is located above radiation level.
Check requirements of state or local code bodies and insurance companies. If
required use a probe-type designed for water system use and install in tee in
supply piping above the boiler.
1 – Manual Reset High Limit----Required by some state or local codes. Also
required if system is to comply with ASME code.
1 – Backflow Preventer----- Required by many State and local codes.
3. Additional circulating pumps or zone valves may also be required if the system is to
be multi-zone or if it is to include a domestic hot water storage tank with coil.
WARNING
The expansion tank must be properly sized to system requirements. An under-sized
expansion tank will cause system water to be lost through the relief valve and make-up
water to be introduced through the fill valve. Continual introduction of fresh water into
the system will cause mineral build-up in the boiler sections and eventual section failure.
4. There are two types of expansion tanks used, the closed type and the pre-pressurized
diaphragm tank Most new installations use the diaphragm type tank, however some
installations still employ the closed type tank.
(a) Piping Connections with closed type expansion tank----See Figure 16. Piping
from tee in supply to tank should be 3/4 inch. If horizontal piping is
employed, pipe must be pitched up toward tank 1/4 inch per foot.

SYSTEM PIPING
Supply and return and system piping should be sized by determining the pressure drop,
required flow rate and pump capacity.
WARNING
Discharge piping from relief valve must be piped to a drain or must terminate 6” above
floor to eliminate damage to the structure or personal injury. It must not be piped to a
point where freezing might occur.

2. MULTIPLE ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS -----
Each pump will require a separate relay (Honeywell R845A or White Rodgers 829A-
845, or equivalent). Install a flow control valve in each zone including the indirect
water heater to prevent gravity circulation. Install a balancing valve in each zone and
adjust so that flow in each zone is about the same. See Figure 19.
3. RADIANT PANEL OR OTHER LOW TEMPERATURE SYSTEM----
The temperature of the system water coming back to the return port of the boiler must
not be permitted to drop below about 135 Degree F for an extended period of time.
Return water temperatures of 130 Degree F or lower will cause condensation on the
exterior surface of the heat exchanger and corrosion and eventual heat exchanger
failure will result. Radiant floor and ceiling panel heating systems typically operate
with maximum supply water temperatures of 140 Degree F or less. A standard piping
arrangement would, under these circumstances, permit return water temperatures of
120 Degree F and lower. Accordingly, such systems must be piped such that the
return water temperature will be high enough at all times to prevent condensation.

4. LARGE WATER CONTENT SYSTEMS------
Such systems as converted gravity systems, old systems with cast iron radiators, and
also newer systems that employ outdoor reset control present a potential problem with
low return water temperatures and condensation. The boiler must be protected from
condensation in such cases by using a by-pass as shown in Figure 21.

5. INTEGRATED SYSTEM (HEAT AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER) -----
With a single heating zone priority for domestic hot water may be provided through
the use of a 3-port zone valve. This system assures that full boiler output is available
to recover the storage tank quickly and should be used where supply of domestic hot
water on demand is critical.
For this application use a full throated valve with a minimum pressure drop. See

6. INTEGRATED SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE HEATING ZONES AND NO
PRIORITY FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER, USING ZONE VALVES-----
Where the boiler output is large relative to the heating capacity of the coil in the
indirect water heater priority for domestic hot water is not necessary. Further, with
multiple heating zones there is less likelihood that all zones will call for heat at once
and require full boiler output for heating. Because the tank is usually close to the
boiler, the pressure drop through the coil circuit will generally be less than through a
heating zone circuit, which will provide some measure of priority for domestic hot
water. This can be enhanced by increasing the pipe size to the coil e.g. if 3/4 inch
pipe is used on the heating zones run 1 inch pipe to the coil. (See Figure 23.) Should
priority for domestic hot water be mandatory, it can be provided as shown in Wiring
Section, Figure 24.

Each pump will require a separate relay (Honeywell R845A or White Rodgers 828A-
845, or equivalent). Install a flow control valve in each zone including the indirect
water heater to prevent gravity circulation. Install a balancing valve in each zone and
adjust so that flow in each zone is about the same. (see Figure 24.) While this basic
system does not provide priority for domestic hot water, priority can be provided as
shown in Wiring Section, Figure 27.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions
Single Zone Wiring
WARNING
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having
jurisdiction or, in the absence of such authority, with the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA70).
1) 120 Volt Wiring—The boiler should be provided with its own 20A branch circuit
with fused disconnect. All 120 volt connections are made inside the L8148A aquastat
relay as follows (also see Fig. 31 or 32):
• Hot (“black”)- Terminal “L1”
• Neutral (“white”)- Terminal “L2”
• Ground (“Green” or bare)- Ground screw on case of L8148A
2) Thermostat Wiring—Follow thermostat manufacturer instructions. To insure proper
thermostat operation, avoid installation in areas of poor air circulation, hot spots (near
any heat source or in direct sunlight), cold spots (outside walls, walls adjacent to
unheated areas, locations subject to drafts). Provide Class II circuit between
thermostat and boiler. Connect thermostat wire leads to terminals “T” and “T” inside
L8148A aquastat relay.
Wiring Variations
1) Multiple Circulator Zones—Figure 35 shows wiring for two or more circulator zones
using Honeywell R845As. One R845A is required for each circulator zone.
Circulator terminals “C1” and “C2” on the L8148A are not used. A DPST
Honeywell RA832A may be substituted in place of the R845A using the “X” and “X”
terminals in place of the “5” and “6” terminals on a R845A. A call for heat from any
thermostat will energize the DPST relay in that zone”s R845A. When this relay is
energized, electrical continuity is created between terminals 3 and 4, energizing the
circulator for that zone. At the same time, electrical continuity is created between
terminals 5 and 6 on the R845A, creating a current path from terminal “T” to “T” on
the L8148A. Assuming that the supply water temperature is below the high limit
setting, the normal ignition sequence will be initiated.
2) Multiple Zones using Zone Valves—Figure 34 shows wiring for multiple zones using
Honeywell V8043F zone valves. This wiring diagram may be used for other 24-volt
zone valves as long as they are equipped with end switches. Do not attempt to use the
transformer on the L8148A to power the zone valves; use a separate transformer. Up
to five V8043Fs may be powered by one 48VA transformer, such as the Honeywell
AT87A. A call for heat from a given thermostat will result in the application of 24
volts across the TH and TR terminals on the corresponding zone valve, energizing the
zone valve motor. The zone valve opens and the end switch contacts are then made.
The end switches are connected in parallel with each other and to the “T” and “T”
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions
37
thermostat connections so that any zone valve that opens will also start the circulator
and fire the boiler(assuming the high limit is not open). Zone valve terminal TH/TR
has no internal connection on the zone valve; it is merely a “binding post” used to
connect two or more wires.

BOILER START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
FILL SYSTEM
1. Close manual air vents (if used) and automatic air vents. Attach hose to boiler drain
on return connection and run to a drain or to outdoors. Open drain cock and close
shutoff valve on boiler supply pipe.
2. HEATING ONLY – SINGLE ZONE SYSTEM---
Open manual valve in cold water feed line and set the fill valve to fast fill. Allow
water to flow through the system and out the hose until there is a steady flow of water
through the hose with no air bubbles.
Next, open the shutoff valve in the drain until air bubbles cease. Then take the fill
valve off fast fill, close the drain cock, remove the hose and open all automatic air
vents.
Also open all manual air vents one at a time and close when water squirts out.
Observe the temperature/pressure gauge. System pressure with a cold fill should be
in the 12 to 14 psi range.
3. MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS-HEATING ONLY OR HEAT & DOMESTIC HOT
WATER WITH ZONE VALVES---
To ensure good circulation through all zones with no air pockets, each zone should be
purged of air individually. With all zone valves in the manual open position let water
flow through the system by opening the drain cocks so water can exit the system
through a hose as in 1. above.
When system seems to be full and free of air, close the drain cock, and the shutoff
valve on the boiler supply pipe, leaving the manual valve on the cold water feed open.
Now release the manual openers to close all but one zone valve. Open the drain cock
and put the fill valve on fast fill. When the flow through hose becomes steady with
no air bubbles, take the fill valve off fast fill and then close the drain cock.
Repeat this procedure with each zone until all zones have been purged. Open the
shutoff valve on the boiler supply pipe. Then open all manual air vents one at a time.
When water sprays out of the air vents should have the cap loosened so it can vent air.
4. MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS ZONED WITH CIRCULATORS---
Following the same procedures as in 3. above using the manual shutoff valves to
isolate a zone instead of zone valves.
5. Check system pressure on the temperature/pressure gauge on the boiler. Pressure
should be in the 12 to 14 psi range. If pressure is over 14 psi drain a little water out
with the drain cock. Watch gauge for a few minutes to ensure pressure does not build
back up. If pressure is too high with system cold there is a good possibility the relief
valve will blow off when the system is brought up to temperature. Too high a
pressure with the system cold indicates a faulty fill valve.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions
WASTE OIL BURNER STARTUP
WARNING
DO NOT fire boiler without water or boiler sections will overheat and eventually crack
6. IMPORTANT- Prior to starting the unit, pre-fill the filter and fuel line with oil to assist priming
procedure. Oil pump motor turns at low RPM’s and would take significant time to complete
priming process if not pre-filled. Make sure the oil supply line fittings are air tight. Vacuum
leaks are notoriously hard to find. Pressurizing the line with oil in it can help to locate leaks.
7. During the initial power up process the burner is locked out from energizing until the oil has
been properly pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, approx 3 to 5 minute duration. Once
the oil has been pre-heated, power is then applied to burner componenets and oil pump.
8. Making sure the thermostat is turned off, apply power to the burner. Switch burner main
power switch to ON position. After allowing the oil pre-heater time to establish temperature
setpoint, approximately 5 minutes. Jump the “T” terminals on the Oil Primary (Figure 1).
Once the burner is running, temporarily jump the “F” terminals on the Oil Primary. This will
allow the burner to run during the pump priming process.
9. Priming the oil pump: Open bleeder valve one turn until all air is expelled (Figure 4). This
may need to be done twice to insure all air is removed. IMPORTANT: When fully purged and
flame is established remove temporarily jumpers on “F” terminals of the Oil Primary to allow
safety features of the unit to operate properly.
10. Adjust air supply of integrated air compressor to 8-12 P.S.I. This is factory preset, however,
due to freight handling settings may be compromised.
11. Combustion air band (Figure1) should be open approximately 1/2” or until flame is clear
yellow, not orange. Opening the air band too far may cause delayed in starting or even
prevent the flame from starting.
WATER TREATMENT
Generally no water treatment will be required. Care should be taken to ensure that the
system does not lose water from leaks, or continual relief valve operation since continual
make-up water will reduce boiler life.
FREEZE PROTECTION
Where freeze protection is required use antifreeze made especially for hydronic systems
such as inhibited Propylene Glycol. DO NOT use automotive type antifreeze. Follow
antifreeze manufacturer’s directions for quantity. A 50% solution provides protection to
–30 degree F. For boiler water content see page 11.
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

MAINTENANCE
WASTE OIL BURNER:
1. Weekly Drain water from storage tank.
2. Monthly Clean pump screen on oil pump assembly of sludge and remove
any water. Access to screen is by removing pump cover. Clean flame
cone of deposits.
3. Yearly Inspect and adjust electrodes per (figure 37). CAUTION: turn off
main electrical power before checking or adjusting electrode
settings. Inspect and check alignment of nozzle in relation to flame
cone/burner tube (figure 37). Tip of nozzle must be 1/4” forward of inside
radius of flame cone. If nozzle is behind inside radius of flame cone,
coking will occur and flame cone can clog. To adjust, loosen Pre-Heater
block securing nut and set screw, push fore or aft as needed then
retighten securing nut and set screw.
BOILER:
1. Clean Boiler using procedure below.
2. Check all water system piping for leaks. Repair any found.
3. Check pressure relief valve operation by opening with manual lever. If it fails to
relieve, replace immediately.
4. Check operation of safety controls, low water cutoff and manual reset high limit
(if provided).
5. Check breeching connections to ensure there are no flue gas leaks. Seal any leaks
found with High Temperature Silicone Sealant.
6. Check flue gas temperature at the test point in the breeching. If gross flue gas
temperature is 550 degrees F or above, suspect that cleaning of the boiler
flueways is required.
BOILER CLEANING:
Turn off the power with the line switch. Disconnect the electrical plug at the J-Box by
the Aquastat Relay. Remove the four hex head bolts from the outer corners of the burner
mounting plate and swing open the burner door with burner mounted to provide access to
the boiler flueways. Remove sludge and deposits from Stainless Steel Insert. When all
deposits are removed, close burner door, and plug in the electrical lead, restore the power
and turn burner on. If a boiler is to be shut down and taken out of service for a period of
time, the boiler should be cleaned immediately upon shut down while the flueways are
still warm. When the boiler gets cold, the deposits harden making cleaning difficult.
Further, hardened deposits will absorb moisture and cause corrosion.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the boiler be cleaned on an annual basis, even if no soot is present.
Sulfer, and other deposits which may be present, can cause severe corrosion damage
if they are not removed periodically.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
NO HEAT:
1. Check burner power switch and make sure power is available to the whole control
system.
2. If included in system, check low-water cutoff and/or manual reset high limit.
3. Check room thermostat(s) and zone valves or pump relays (if used).
4. Make sure there is oil in tank.
5. Inquire if reset button on burner oil primary control has been tripped. If reset button
continues to trip then DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START BURNER.
Open burner door by disconnecting the plug-in lead and remove the four hex head
bolts. Examine the combustion chamber for unburned oil and oil vapor. If present,
clean up oil.
With burner door open check cad cell for soot or dirt deposits, check nozzle and if
clogged, replace with nozzle of identical make and style. Check electrodes for proper
gap and for soot or oil deposits. Also check porcelains for cracks.
Close burner door and re-connect electric cord. Press reset button while watching
through the observation port. If burner fires immediately and flame looks good, cycle
several times.
If burner does not fire immediately, or if it fires but flame looks ragged and/or smoky,
shut burner down and check the fuel delivery system. The problem may be air in the
intake line so tighten all fittings and tighten the unused intake port plug. Also check
the filter cover and gasket.
Also check the pump filter and clean it with a brush and fuel oil or kerosene if it looks
dirty.
INADEQUATE HEAT:
1. Check thermostat and heat anticipator setting. A wrong setting can cause short
cycling and inadequate heating.
2. Check to see if the distribution system is airbound. If pump and boiler are running
and the pipe connection to the boiler supply port is hot, check the pipe temperature at
the inlet to the first radiator. If it is cool or only lukewarm, then the problem is lack of
circulation. Look for air in the system, a valve partially closed, a zone valve failed in
the closed position, a pump failure. The most common fault is air in the system.
RELIEF VALVE LEAKS CONSTANTLY:
1. Check system pressure. With system hot, pressure should be in the 20 psi to 25 psi
range, not to exceed 25 psi. With system cold, pressure should be in the 12-14 psi
range. If pressure is over these ranges, then suspect the pressure reducing fill valve or
the expansion tank. A diaphragm tank may be too small, may have a ruptured
diaphragm (this would cause a very sharp rise in pressure as system water heats up
and a sudden opening of the relief valve) or may be over-pressurized. A closed type
expansion tank may be undersized, may be improperly piped to the boiler, may be
water logged.
2. Relief valve may be defective, or it may have foreign material lodged on the seat.
