Operating and Installation Instructions (Model DRF, WRF, & WRF-NOx) Congratulations on your purchase of a new Ajax Boiler. In this book, we have included installation and maintenance instructions that, if followed, will provide you with many years of service from your boiler. Also included are instruction manuals for each of the controls furnished with the boiler. Please read them carefully. They should be helpful in both the installation and services of the boiler. Keep these instructions with the boiler for future reference. The Ajax water boiler is of rugged construction, yet of simple design. The boiler is of the inclined water tube type, consisting of two water headers with interconnecting, 2" O.D., straight inclined tubes. Normally, steel tubes are supplied on “closed” systems where the amount of make-up water is negligible. Copper tubes should be used on “raw” water applications, where a total or a high percentage of water make up takes place, or where water with high corrosive properties is encountered. The tubes are rolled and flared into tube sheets with a minimum 1/2" thick, P.V. quality steel plate. The boiler is equipped with removable head plates, front and rear, giving easy access to the straight tubes for inspection, cleaning or replacing. The combustion chamber and flue passages are designed to give maximum efficiency and serviceability. The best grade of castable refractory is used. Expansion joints are provided to allow for normal contraction and expansion of the refractory. The refractory is backed up with 3” of rockwool insulation. The boiler is enclosed in a casing of 18 gauge-galvanized steel. The boiler serial number is stamped on the front header plate and on the boiler nameplate, generally mounted on the right hand side of the boiler. All boilers furnished with copper tubes will have a decal applied on the front and rear head plates and will have sacrificial anodes fixed in the water box section of the head plates. Experience in the field has proven that the Ajax Boilers, if properly applied and maintained, will give many years of efficient, dependable and economical service.

Receiving your boiler And Installation Receiving your boiler Check Equipment Received: Inspect the boiler for any shipping damage. Make sure you have received all loose parts, such as draft hoods or controls packaged separately, which are listed on the packing slip. Note any damages or shortages on the bill of lading prior to signing it. If a boiler is received damaged or missing parts, it is your responsibility to notify the shipping company and file a freight claim. Ajax Boiler cannot send replacement parts for freight damaged or missing equipment as warranty items. Consignee must file claims for shortages and damages with the carrier. Permission to return goods must be received from the factory prior to shipping. Goods returned without a Returned Goods Authorization number will not be accepted. Purchased parts are subject to replacement only under the manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty does not include the cost of labor, removal, or installation of the warranted part.

Installation Code Requirements: It is very important that your installation comply with all federal, state and local codes (NFGC, NEC, NFPA, CSD-1) as well as meet good industry practices as shown in publications issued by ASME, AGA, UL, ASHRAE, ABMA, ANSI etc. Boiler Placement: The boiler should be placed on a solid foundation, preferably a concrete pad, adequately sized for your boiler. Ajax Boilers are not suitable for installation on combustible surfaces. Electrical conduit should not be imbedded in the concrete directly under the boiler without first consulting with the engineer of the approved boiler pad. Provide adequate clearance for normal inspection and maintenance purposes and allow proper clearances for combustion air. Also, allow tube pull length clearance in the front or rear of the boiler for servicing (see boiler dimensions page for tube lengths). The minimum clearances to combustible surfaces are listed under the UL-795 clearance guidelines and on the boiler nameplate. Make sure the boiler is level, from side to side and front to back. Use metal shims if necessary. Combustion Air: Adequate combustion air is one of the most important requirements for an atmospheric fired boiler. A lack of proper airflow can result in poor combustion, sooting and premature failure to the boiler. Sizing combustion air intakes according to the National Fuel Gas Code or NFPA 54 is acceptable. Ventilation openings should be provided per the National Fuel Gas Code. The boiler room should have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within two feet of the ceiling and one more within two feet of the floor. Each opening should have a free area of not less than 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU/HR of the total input of every combustion product in the boiler room. The openings should not be obstructed from the outside and air conditioning or exhaust fans should not interfere with proper airflow and ventilation of the boiler room. Consideration should always be given to the blocking effect of louvers in determining total free area. Always leave adequate clearance around the base of the boiler to allow the combustion air to freely enter the combustion chamber. The combustion air entering the boiler must be free of hazardous and flammable vapor fumes. This includes such fumes as perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc. Venting: This particular boiler will produce positive and negative draft conditions as a result of the burner firing. All possible points of air infiltration or ex-filtration must be sealed. If the unit is to be fired under positive combustion chamber conditions, extreme care must be taken to ensure that a 100% seal is maintained. Please consult with a stack specialist for use of appropriate stacking material. Before attaching the breeching or extending the stack, be sure there are no obstructions or foreign materials in the vent or on the tubes of the boiler. The boiler should be vented as directly as possible. The stack must be the same diameter as the boiler vent or the combined area of multiple boiler vents. The recommended upward slope of the horizontal breaching is 1” per linear foot. In other words, the stack should rise 1” vertically for each foot horizontally. The stack should reach at least 3 feet above the highest obstruction of the roof to insure proper venting. The stack must be equipped with an appropriate

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 7

weather cap of the correct size. At no time should the boiler support the stack weight. (Refer to the latest version of the National Fuel Gas Code for additional installation requirements). When a draft inducer is required, a draft proving switch must be wired to the boiler to prevent the boiler from firing unless the draft is proven. Relief Valve: The relief valve discharge must be piped to a floor drain to eliminate the potential of scalding burns. The drain line must be the same size as the relief valve outlet and have a downward slope to insure proper drainage. The drain line termination should be visible to see discharge. Check the relief valve nameplate. The boiler operating pressure cannot exceed that listed on the relief valve. Also, confirm the boiler does not exceed the maximum Btu rating on the relief valve. Check Burner:

Check the burner mounting bolts and tighten if loose.

Stud Nuts on Boiler Headers: During shipment, the head plate nuts may loosen. Tighten these if required to the torques specified later in this manual. After the boiler has been in operation for a few days, check and retighten the head plate nuts. Refer to Quick Reference Guide. Water Connections:

See typical piping diagram as shown in the installation instructions (page 10).

Gas Connections: Check supply gas pressure and select gas line pipe size for adequate capacity at boiler firing rate. Install a condensate trap in the gas line ahead of the boiler gas valve regulator. Do not use Teflon tape on the gas line pipe threads. Use a pipe compound rated for use with gas. All gas piping must be leak tested after installation as components may work loose during shipment. Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a bubble test. Do not test the boiler gas piping at a pressure higher than the boiler maximum gas pressure rating as this can damage the gas train components. Support the gas piping with hangers, not by the boiler or its accessories. Manual Main Gas Shutoff Valve: This valve is located on the upstream of the main gas pressure regulator and is normally located on the lower right side of the boiler. The gas supply is to be connected to this valve. Boilers with a minimum input rating are set for the specified rating at the factory. The minimum input rating is not adjustable in the field. Fuel Oil Connections (Where applicable): Use copper tubing with flare fittings or iron pipe on all installations. All units must utilize the proper size and type of suction line oil strainers. Do not install manual valves in the return line between the pump and the tank unless required by a specific code. The fuel tank should be mounted above the pump level. If not, a two-pipe system is recommended. A check valve should be installed at the burner and a foot valve is recommended on the suction line within the fuel tank. These are installed to prevent the loss of oil supply, which can be damaging to the pump. It is recommended that prior to installation, MFPA-31 and all other national, state and local codes be followed. The size of the oil feed pipe depends on the length of line and whether the system is gravity or suction feed. (Please see the burner manual for oil line sizing). All lines should be tested for leaks after they have been installed. This should be done prior to running oil through them. The suction line should pass a vacuum test before placing oil in the tank. Plugging the tank end of the suction line may do this and connecting a vacuum gauge, valve and vacuum pump to the suction line stub in the boiler room. Air should be exhausted from the suction line until the vacuum gauge reads 24" of mercury (this figure is based on sea level conditions; for higher altitudes, corresponding lower values may be used). The valve should then be closed tightly and the test equipment should be allowed to stand for 24 hours, during which time, the gauge pressure should not decrease by more than Â˝ inch.

Electrical: The boiler is wired for 120volts 60hz 1phase and 12 amps, unless otherwise noted on the boiler nameplate. Verify the electrical supply using a voltmeter. The voltage tie-in leads are indicated on the wiring diagram. For your safety, turn off electrical power supply at the service entrance before making any electrical connections. This boiler contains sensitive control components and should be protected by a suitable commercial grade surge protection device and properly grounded. The boiler must be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code and in accordance with all state and local codes. Pump Selection: An appropriate sized pump will need to be installed, to pump water through the boiler at its appropriate flow rate. Ajax recommends using a delta T of 20째 to 40째F through the boiler. The boiler circulation pump must interlock with the boiler, so the pump will operate under normal boiler operation. Expansion Tank: A properly sized expansion tank is required on the boiler-piping loop. Indoor Boilers: Protect all electrical components from moisture. The venting must be completely sealed to prevent spent flue gas into the boiler room. The draft diverter must be installed on top of metal screws in the boiler vent(s) per U.L. requirement. Note: Boilers are not designed to support stack weight. Outdoor Boilers: The boiler must not be installed under any overhang that is less than 6 feet from the top of the boiler. Outdoor boilers have been tested to light off in 40 MPH and operate in 10 MPH wind conditions. Boiler must be protected from excessive wind and or down draft conditions (see venting). Three sides must be open in the area under the overhang. All roof water drainage must be diverted away from the boiler. Outdoor forced draft boilers require vent piping with an approved rain cap.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 9

Size of Piping to Gas Boilers In determining the size of gas pipe, the following factors should be considered: a.) Length of pipe and number of fittings. b.) Maximum gas consumption to be provided for (including possible future expansion). c.) Allowable loss in pressure from meter outlet to boiler. The volume to be used (in cubic feet per hour) shall be determined, whenever possible, directly from BTU ratings of the boiler which will be installed and the heating value of the gas to be used. To obtain the cubic feet per hour, divide the total BTU input of the boiler by the BTU heating value per cubic foot of gas.

Installation of Boiler with Refrigeration System

The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Install valves 1, 2, 3 and 4. Valves 1, 2, 3 and 4 may be manual or automatic. Close valves 1 and 2 when operating water chiller. Close valves 3 and 4 when operating boiler. Water supply valve remains open at all times.

Note: When hot water heating boilers are connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation, the boiler piping system shall be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 13

Water Treatment We, the manufacturer of your boiler, wish to call to your attention to the necessity for a sound approach to the broad problem of boiler feed water treatment. Boilers used for space heating purposes only, operate with a closed system of piping in which all of the boiler water is brought back to the boiler. Under these conditions, very little raw makeup water is added to the system. Unless there are system leaks, only a small amount of makeup is required and there is little need for attention to the problem of feed water treatment. Heating boilers are subject to idle periods during the warmer months of a year. Protection of such idle boilers to prevent corrosion should be considered. Such protection can be provided in several ways and can be recommended by a qualified feed water treatment service or chemical supply company in your area. Makeup water continuously introduces contaminants; scale forming solids, corrosive minerals and oxygen, which is the primary cause of corrosion, in both water and steam boilers. The application of your boiler system, the condition of your boiler system and its operation should be carefully considered. For example, during initial operating periods of a new or a remodeled boiler system, all or a large amount of the water may be wasted. There are other reasons for water losses such as piping leaks, a faulty relief valve, blow down, summer drainage, etc. Whenever appreciable amounts of raw makeup water are continuously added to your system, we recommend that the problem be brought to the attention of a qualified water consultant. Boiler water treatment means more than just scale prevention. It actually includes: 1. The kind and control of the chemical treatment. 2. A suitable method of regulating the preheating and pretreatment of raw water. 3. Regulating and the method of blow down of the boiler water in amounts proportionate to the raw water makeup. The treatment program maintains the boiler water concentration within safe and acceptable limits for longer boiler life and reduced maintenance. The feed water treatment is dependent upon the make-up water conditions. We, the manufacturer, offer the following general guidelines for water treatment. Refer to Quick Reference Guide. The analysis for and the supervision of this treatment and control can only be handled by a qualified operator, of your own or an outside chemical service that specializes in the field. Particular care is exercised in handling the water problems in large utility central station plants. Modern industrial boilers deserve comparable attention. All modern boilers, including the smaller industrial types, are designed with lower water storage content than was used many years ago. They operate at ratings above those employed on the boilers of yesterday. This is one of the reasons we draw your attention to the importance of the proper handling of the water problem. Water treatment is a specialized subject that we, as boiler manufacturers, are not qualified to carry on a water treatment service. We, therefore, recommend that a qualified feed water treatment service company be used to supervise all phases of the water problem that may be encountered in your installation. This service should be picked most carefully as the prevention of trouble costs far less than the cost of repairs to equipment that has been neglected. Final proof of any feed water treatment program is in the continued observation of its effectiveness on the waterside surfaces of the boiler. Regular internal inspection of the boiler, therefore, should become part of the maintenance program.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 14

Before Start-up 1. Clean system: The boiler and the entire system should be cleaned and flushed prior to filling the boiler. 2. Fill the boiler: a.) After cleaning, fill the system with a treated water mixture according to a water treatment specialistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation and to the correct system pressure. Further information can be found at www.H2Ochem.com. b.) To prevent the boiler from becoming air bound, open the relief valve located on the top rear of the boiler and leave it open until a steady flow of water is observed. On boilers equipped with a float type low water cut-off, the top cross in the low water cut-off piping should be opened to bleed off any air that may be trapped in the piping. Once this is done, close the relief valve, and low water cut-off assembly if applicable and complete filling the system to the correct pressure. c.) After filling the system, inspect all piping throughout the system for leaks. If found, make necessary repairs. 3. Fill oil tank: Fill the oil tank with the proper grade of oil (If applicable, Models DRFO & DRFC). If the fuel tank is below the burner level, be sure to prime the pump. If the oil pump is above the tank level, the pump should be lubricated to prevent damage by running dry. In some cases, the fuel pump may become air bound. To remove the air, remove the plug on the discharge side of the pump and run the burner until oil flows freely from the discharge. Afterwards, replace the plug and restart the burner. 4. Additional controls: Boilers are pre-wired at the factory. If additional controls are to be installed, care should be taken not to disturb the continuity of the existing circuit. Refer to the boiler wiring diagram and control manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions supplied with the boiler. 5. Venting: The venting will include a barometric damper (draft hoods are not approved). A wind deflecting vent cap that prevents down drafts, must be securely fastened to the vent outlet. Outdoor units will be provided with a rain cap as standard. 6. Check factory assembled joints and head bolts: Although the boiler pressure vessel and the gas train are pressure tested prior to shipping, often times during shipment, items may work loose. These items may include head plate nuts, relief valves and gas train assemblies. These items should be checked prior to operating the boiler and tightened. Refer to Quick Reference Guide. Important! The boiler gas piping and all connections should be tested for leaks before starting up the boiler. Do not use a flame test. It is important that you check the boiler gas train as some components may shift during transport. The boiler has been furnished completely assembled at the factory and furnished to deliver the rated capacity, as designated on the boiler nameplate. The manifold pressure must be set between the specified gas pressures recommended in the burner manual. The supply pressure to the boiler regulator must be set between the minimum and maximum pressures stated on the boiler nameplate.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 15

Start-up Instructions – Gas Important! When starting up your boiler for the first time, run it at low fire for 30 minutes prior to running it at high fire. The refractory panels may contain moisture from the curing process. Running the boiler at low fire will dry out the panels. If the boiler is immediately operated at high fire, there may be a chance that the refractory will crack. A "cold" boiler should be treated the same way. Please see the burner operation manual for complete instructions. 1. Read manual: Before attempting to start-up the boiler, read this manual in its entirety and be familiar with the details contained within. 2. Verification: Locate the boiler nameplate and verify the voltage, type of gas, gas pressure and regulator setting. Ensure free combustion air openings to the boiler room meet the requirements on the boiler nameplate, local codes, gas industry standards and the O&M manual. The venting will include a draft hood or barometric damper (Indoor units only). A wind deflecting vent cap that prevents down drafts, must be securely fastened to the vent outlet. Outdoor units will be provided with a rain cap as standard. 3. Inspect: Turn off all electric power and open the main gas valve. Smell for gas, especially around the floor. If you smell gas, shut the main gas valve to the boiler immediately and check for piping leaks! If you do not smell gas, go on to the next step. 4. Operating controller: Set the operating temperature controller to its lowest setting and the hi-limit 15°F above the operating temperature control. (Figure 1.4)

Figure 1.4 5. Main power: Set the main power switch and the burner panel control switch to the ON position. The burner blower motor will start and after a suitable pre-purge period (this will vary based upon the control safeguard used – usually 30 to 90 seconds). If equipped, the manual firing rate potentiometer should be set at its lowest setting. 6. Flame: Once flame has been established, run the boiler at low fire for ½ hour. This will evaporate the moisture in the refractory panels. 7. Low fire run time: After running the boiler at low fire for ½ hour, open the manual gas valves fully. Make sure the boiler operating temperature control is set at the desired output temperature. 8. Full fire: The boiler will continue to operate at full fire until it satisfies its set operating temperature. Once satisfied, the boiler will shut down or go to low fire if equipped.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 16

9. Testing: While the boiler is running, test all interlocks and safeties. Once the boiler has reached at least 150°F, test the high limit by turning the temperature dial to its lowest setting. The boiler should shut down and lock out. To put the boiler back in operation, turn the high limit temperature setting to 15°F higher than the operating temperature setting and press the reset button on the high limit. The boiler will now resume. 10. Testing low water cut-off: To check the low water cut-off, push the test button located on the boiler control panel, labeled LWCO. Hold it for 5 seconds. This will produce a simulated low water shutdown. Upon release on the button, the boiler will remain locked out. The boiler will remain locked out until the low water cut-off reset button, located on the control panel, is depressed. 11. Draft: Stack Draft Requirements (FD), -0.02” to -0.04” Water Column. 12. Boiler Circulation: Proper water flow is required for water boilers; low water flow may cause overheating of the water in the boiler tubes. Prolonged operation of the boiler under this condition may cause damage to the unit. The most common WARNING sign is a knocking sound, from which the water inside the boiler tubes is flashing to steam.

After Start-up Check List

Has air been purged from the system? Has the gas line piping been checked for gas leaks? Have the operating and high limit temperature controls been set? Is the boiler inlet water temperature above 140°F? Is the blow fan rotating in the appropriate direction? Flue gas spillage and soot: Check for spillage at the draft hood. Check for soot around the sheet metal joints. Use the smoke from a match to detect flue gas spillage. If spillage is present, determine the cause of the problem and correct it. Leaks: Look for water on the floor. Check for water leaks from any part of the boiler, valves or piping. Supports: Check for proper supports on the water piping and gas lines. Caution: Keep flammable materials away from the boiler. In the event of the boiler overheating – shut the boiler down by (1) turning off the manual gas valve located in the gas controls manifold adjacent to the boiler and (2) turn off the electricity to the boiler.

Shutting Down the Boiler 1. 2. 3. 4.

Operating controller: Set the operating temperature controller to its lowest setting. Burner: Follow the instruction in the burner manual for proper shutdown. Power: Turn off the boiler by switching the toggle switch on the control panel into the OFF position. Gas valves and oil line: Close the main gas valve and/or oil lines.

Has air been purged from the system? Has the gas line piping been checked for gas leaks? Have the operating and high limit temperature controls been set? Is the boiler inlet water temperature above 140°F? Flue gas spillage and soot: Check for spillage at the draft hood. Check for soot around the sheet metal joints. Use the smoke from a match to detect flue gas spillage. If spillage is present, determine the cause of the problem and correct it. Leaks: Look for water on the floor. Check for water leaks from any part of the boiler, valves or piping. Supports: Check for proper supports on the water piping and gas lines. Caution: Keep flammable materials away from the boiler. In the event of the boiler overheating – shut the boiler down by (1) turning off the manual gas valve located in the gas controls manifold adjacent to the boiler and (2) turn off the electricity to the boiler.

Maintenance Instructions 1. Keep tubes clean: In order to maintain high boiler efficiency and boiler life, the boiler tubes should be cleaned periodically, both inside and outside. The frequency of cleaning the inside of the boiler tubes depends on the characteristics of the water and the type of installation. When a large amount of makeup water is used, it is good practice to inspect and clean, if necessary, the inside of the tubes after 30 days. The accumulation of lime and other solids within this time will establish the criterion for how often the boiler tubes should be cleaned. On closed systems, where only a small amount of makeup water is used, the insides the boiler tubes should be examined and if necessary, cleaned at the end of the heating season. When makeup water is negligible, such as boilers connected to unit heaters or radiators, the boiler should be flushed at the end of each heating season. All water boilers should have a tee installed at the boiler inlet for draining the boiler. Clean tubes will not only ensure higher boiler efficiency but will also prevent possible damage to the boiler. The boiler should never be fired unless it is full of water. 2. Gaskets: Tighten gaskets during start up and periodically thereafter. Leaky gaskets will cause the use of excessive makeup water and could cause corrosion of the stud bolts. It is good practice to use a new gasket; however, if the gasket is not damaged, it may be reused. Use a soft gasket compound on both sides of the gasket. Specify boiler model number and the height and width of the boiler head plate when ordering new gaskets. 3. Studs: Keep studs protected from corrosion with paint or oil. Keep stud bolts tight to prevent leaky gaskets. Stud bolts will not corrode if they are kept dry and protected. Use caution in removing and reinstalling head plates. The boiler must be shut down and drained. Before removing the nuts, apply penetrating oil and allow it to set for a few minutes. Tap the head plate lightly around each stud bolt before trying to break the nut loose. Forcing the nut off could cause breakage. Use a torch to heat the nut and it will come off easier. If a torch is not available, take a cold chisel, place it across the flat of the nut, and strike several sharp blows with a heavy hammer. This should loosen the nut. If necessary, it is better to split the nut open and replace it than to break the stud off. Should, for any reason, a stud bolt on a boiler head be broken, it can be replaced as follows: without removing the heat plate, use a slow speed drill to drill out the remaining portion of the stud. Re-drill the header and tap using a standard thread tap. Spare studs may be obtained from the factory. 4. Controls: Under normal conditions, controls furnished with the Ajax Boiler require very little service. It is important, however, that the controls be protected from moisture and dirt. All controls should be checked frequently to make sure that they are working properly. Turn both the operating controls and the safety controls up and down to verify that they will operate satisfactorily. The high limit control furnished with the boiler should only be used as a safety control. 5. Power burner: Reference the maintenance and service instruction in the burner manual. 6. Relief valve: Boilers are equipped with a lever type relief valve of “ASME” rated capacity. To maintain the valve in good working condition, it should be manually opened once a month on “closed” systems and once a week on “open” systems. The relief valve outlet should be piped directly to an open drain and the drain checked frequently for discharge. If the relief valve is leaking or does not operate freely, it should be replaced.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 20

7. Low water cut-off: A low water cutoff is furnished to protect the boiler against damage by preventing it from operating without water. This is particularly important when the boiler is installed above the water level, i.e., on a roof. Low water level cutoffs should be checked periodically by lowering the water level in the boiler and verifying that the safety circuit opens. Float type low water cutoffs should be flushed at least once a week on “open” systems and once a month on “closed” systems (if applicable). If neglected, accumulation of sediment within the low water cutoff casing may render the control inoperative and thereby become a safety hazard. Probe low water cutoffs may accumulate deposits on the grounding element. These should be carefully cleaned. 8. Operating control: The operating temperature control sets the desired boiler water temperature output. To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight screwdriver into the slotted screw hole at the front of the controller. This controller has an adjustable differential wheel under its casing. 9. High limit manual reset: The boiler is equipped with a manual reset high limit temperature safety designed to shut down the boiler in the event the boiler water temperature exceeds the high limit set point. The high limit should be set 15°F above the operating temperature controller. 10. Gas pressure switches (Optional, where applicable): The low gas pressure switch is designed to shut down the boiler if the gas supply drops below its set point. The high gas pressure switch is designed to shut the boiler down if the gas pressure exceeds its set point. Both switches will lock out and must be manually reset if tripped. 11. Anodes: Magnesium anodes are standard on all copper tube boilers. They will extend the life of the boiler, and must be replaced periodically. The replacement frequency can vary from six months to several years. Higher temperatures and/or higher total dissolved solid contents in the boiler water will speed electrolysis and decrease the life of the anodes. Normally, two anodes in each header are adequate for header protection. Under adverse conditions, it may be necessary to install as many as three or four anodes in each header. New anodes may be purchased from your Ajax Boiler representative. 12. Venting system (indoor boilers): Examine the venting system externally at least once a year for: a.) Tightness of all joints and connections including the draft hood to the boiler and the vent connection from the draft hood to the stack. b.) Corrosion of metal in the vent ducting. 14. Flue gas passageways: Inspect and clean, if necessary, at least once every five years. a.) Shut off gas and turn off electric power to boiler. b.) Disconnect vent pipe and remove draft hood(s) or vent cap on outdoor boilers. c.) Examine flue gas passageways and the inside of the venting system for soot and corrosion. d.) If cleaning is needed, open front door, remove main burners, and cover burner orifices and pilot burner with a waterproof covering. e.) Protect controls, electrical, etc. with waterproof covering. f.) Clean tube bundle through vent opening(s) at top of boiler using a water or steam hose. Clean out and reassemble boiler after cleaning. Note: If any parts need tightening or replacement, consult a qualified serviceman. It is highly recommended that an operator’s log be kept as a record of boiler readings as a way of tracking operational changes that may affect warranty and/or boiler reliability.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 21

Maintenance Intervals Daily Maintenance 1. Check water level: An unstable water level can indicate several problems such as excessive solids or water treatment, contamination from oil, overload or control malfunction. Ensure there is water in the gauge glass (if applicable) every time you enter the boiler room. 2. Check combustion visually: Look at the flame to see if anything has changed. Changes may be an indication that a problem is developing. 3. Treat water according to the established program: Add chemicals and take tests as outlined by your chemical feed water consultant. 4. Record boiler operating pressure and temperature: An excessive steam or water temperature drop will alert you to excessive loading on the boiler. 5. Record feed water pressure and temperature: A change in pressure or temperature may indicate a problem is developing with your feed pump(s), deaerator or packaged feed system. 6. Record stack temperatures: Changes in stack temperatures could indicate the boiler is sooting, scaling or there is a problem with baffles or refractory. 7. Record oil-atomizing pressure (if applicable): Changes in pressure could have an effect on combustion in the boiler. 8. Record gas pressure: Changes in pressure could have an effect on combustion in the boiler and indicate a problem in the gas delivery system. 9. Check with general boiler/burner operation personnel: Has anything changed from the day before? If so, why? 10. Record boiler water supply and return temperatures: On hot water boilers, record these temperatures to assist in detecting system changes. Return temperatures below 140ยบF will cause the boiler to condense. 11. Record makeup water usage: Excessive makeup water could be an indication of system problems (leaks) in both steam and hot water systems. 12. Check auxiliary equipment: There is a vast difference between "is it running" and "is it running properly." Take nothing for granted, as auxiliary equipment can shut down your operation.

Weekly Maintenance 1. Check for tight closing fuel valves: Check to ensure fuel does not flow through the fuel valve(s) when the burner is shut off. 2. Check fuel and air linkage: Check to ensure that all set-screws on linkages are tight and securely holding the linkage in place (Forced Draft boilers). 3. Check indicating lights and alarms: Check for burned out or loose light bulbs. In addition, check to ensure the alarm bell sounds on the appropriate shut down condition. 4. Check operation of water level controls: Stop the boiler feed pump and allow the control to stop the boiler under normal low fire conditions. 5. Check for leaks, noise, vibration, unusual conditions, etc.: Checking for these items, is a cost-effective way to detect system operational changes. Small problems can be corrected before they become large problems. 6. Check operation of all motors: By developing a routine, any change in operation or bearing temperature will usually be caught in time to avoid a failure. 7. Check the flame scanner assembly (if applicable): Using the appropriate meter, check the flame signal strength at the program relay flame amplifier. Ensure the scanner assembly is clean and dry.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 22

8. Check gauge glass: Ensure there are no scratches or etching in the glass or leakage around the package.

Monthly Maintenance 1. Inspect burner operation: Do a visual inspection of the pilot flame and main burner flame throughout the firing range. 2. Analyze combustion: Take the flue gas analysis over the entire firing range, comparing the combustion analysis and stack temperature reading with the pervious month. 3. Check cams (Power burners): Inspect the cam springs for scoring, tightness of set-screws, free movement, alignment of cam followers and other related parts. 4. Check for flue gas leaks: Ensure something hasn't changed in the breaching, stack or overall system that allows flue gas to be drawn into the boiler room. 5. Check boiler blow down: Review boiler blow down to determine that a waste of treated water is not occurring. Check water treatment and testing procedures with your feed water consultant. 6. Check all combustion air supply inlets: Ensure sufficient combustion air is being supplied to the boiler room and burner. 7. Check all filter elements (oil, gas and air): Clean or replace as needed. On â&#x20AC;&#x153;self-cleaningâ&#x20AC;? filters, make certain that impurities are flushed or discharged from filter body. 8. Check the fuel system: Make sure certain strainers, vacuum gauges, pressure gauges and pumps are properly cared for. 9. Check lubrication: Verify lubrication requirements of all bearing supported equipment. Do not over-lubricate electric motors.

Semi-Annual Maintenance 1. Clean low water cut-off(s): Remove the head assembly or probes, inspect and clean out any sediment or contamination in the column or piping. Determine why sediment or contamination condition exists. 2. Pre-heaters: Check oil pre-heaters by removing the heating element and inspect for sludge or scale. 3. Repair refractory: Repair all cracks and fill in gaps. 4. Clean oil pump strainer and filter: Ensure they are not plugged, thus reducing the flow of the required oil to the burner. 5. Reset combustion: The entire combustion process should be carefully checked, O2 readings taken and necessary burner adjustments made. Make certain readings are recorded and used as a basis of comparison for future tests. Combustion adjustments should only be made by those thoroughly familiar with all aspects of burner adjustments and combustion.

Annual Maintenance 1. Clean fireside surfaces: Clean fireside surfaces by brush or use a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove soot. After the cleaning process, and if the boiler is to be left open, it is advisable to spray all fireside surfaces with some type of corrosion preventative. 2. Clean breaching: Inspect breaching, stack, and remove any soot build-up. 3. Clean waterside surfaces: Remove all head plates and inspect tubes. Inspect water columns, tee and float assemblies from water columns. Thoroughly wash all waterside surfaces. 4. Check gauge glass for possible replacement: If internal erosion at water level is noted, replace with new glass and gaskets. 5. Remove and recondition safety valves: Have them reconditioned by an authorized safety valve facility. The safety valve is an important device yet possibly receives less attention than any other device.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 23

6. Boiler feed pumps: Strainers should be reconditioned. Feed-pump elements wear and must be replaced. Sometimes a review of the condensate return system and chemical feed arrangement will reveal causes of short pump life. 7. Chemical feed systems: Chemical feed systems should be completely emptied, flushed and reconditioned. Metering valves or pumps should be reconditioned at this time. 8. Tighten all electrical terminals: All terminals should be checked for tightness, particularly on starters and moveable relays. 9. Check linkages: Check to ensure the linkage ball connectors have not worn out. Worn connectors can cause inconstancy in the linkage movement and result in unrepeatable excess air levels in the combustion process.

Removing and Sealing The Manway Access Door Every Ajax Boiler, size 50HP and up, includes a bricked access door to the combustion chamber on the left side of the boiler. This manway entrance provides access to the combustion chamber, the burner nozzle and the first row of boiler tubes for ease of maintenance. Boilers under 50HP will have fronthinged door access. Opening The Manway 1. Remove the sheet metal plate covering the manway access. The plate is sheet metal screwed to the side of the boiler. 2. Remove the fiberglass insulation, the Fibrex board (if applicable) and the fitted refractory panel. These items have been laid in the access hole. Once these items have been removed, this will give access to the refractory brick set and mortared in place.

Use a chisel and hammer or a saber saw to carefully break the brick from the pre-cast refractory panels. Do not hit the bricks with a hammer, as this may damage the surrounding refractory panels.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 24

Closing The Manway 1. Remove all loose debris around the manway opening. 2. Using a high temperature refractory brick, fill in the opening. Some of the bricks will require cutting in order to fit. Set the bricks in loosely first to guarantee a perfect fit. The bricklayers must be staggered. 3. Once the bricks have been arrange so they fit, remove them and reinstall each brick with a high temperature mortar. Install each brick until the manway hole is covered. 4. After the bricks have been placed, trowel a Â˝" layer of mortar to the backside of the bricks to seal. 5. Reinstall the refractory panel, Fibrex board (if applicable), the fiberglass insulation and the sheet metal panel.

Flame Rod Pilot 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Ensure flame rod is clean. Make sure all grounding points on pilot are clean. Check for proper electrode gap and depth in pilot head. See Power Flame Manual. Check for strong blue spark from ignition transformer. Flame sensing wire resistance should be near 0 ohms. Ensure static inlet gas pressure does not exceed pilot regulator. Set pilot gas pressure at 1 Â˝" to 4" WC. Best flame signal at test tee on pilot. Check for pilot pressure at main flame light off. If pilot pressure drops at the point when the main gas valve opens, check for proper gas supply. Gas line may be undersized our under-pressured. 9. Ensure air holes in pilot body are unobstructed. 10. Check the draft through the boiler in the off-cycle, pre-purge and pilot flame establishing pressure. High draft will affect pilot reliability and can cause pilot failures. Reduce draft via barometric damper or other draft control device.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 26

Trouble Shooting Guide The following is a list of items that can cause boiler performance problems if not installed correctly. Available combustion air: Normal Conditions: 1 sq. in. open area per 1000 Btu/hr. Note: This must be open area between louvers. Stack draft: Normal Conditions: Forced Draft: Balanced draft, -0.02” to -0.04” WC. Combustion Chamber Pressure: The combustion chamber pressure should not exceed 0.25” WC on “DRF” boilers and should not exceed +0.50” WC on “DRF” boilers with lox NOx burners installed by factory. Fuel pressure: See Burner Manual. Inlet water treatment, flow, and/or temperature: Minimum inlet water temperature without boiler recirculator line = 140°F

The following are common problems with possible causes and solutions. 1. Nuisance flame failures: See Burner Manual. 2. Boiler not putting out enough heat: The main reason a boiler will not put out enough heat is usually due to there not being enough gas reaching the burners. Check the following: a.) Have you been able to accurately measure the gas flow (oil) rate at the meter? b.) What is the gas pressure at the burner manifold? c.) What is the inlet gas pressure, while the burner is firing? This number will be lower than when the burner is not firing? d.) Review combustion report, if the boiler is under fired, there should be too much Oxygen in the stack gases? e.) Is the boiler at altitude? If yes, has it been derated? 4. Boiler is sooting up: a.) Condensate: Check the boiler's flue gas using a combustion analyzer and compare those to the ideal combustion list. Refer to Ideal Combustion Rate. A high percentage of CO in the combustibles is an indication of a sooting problem. Running the boiler in a condensing mode with inlet water temperatures below 140°F. When this happens, it will “rain” down on the burners and appear to be leaking. The boiler will subsequently soot up. b.) Insufficient gas/air ratios: See Burner Manual. c.) Check Start-up or Combustion report: d.) Combustion: Open a door to the boiler room. Any improvement? If so, there is not enough combustion air in the boiler room. e.) Pressurization: Is the room pressurized? Is there other equipment in the room? Is there an extractor fan in the room? 5. My boiler is leaking: Sometimes boilers appear to be leaking when they are actually operating in a condensing mode. To prevent condensing, inlet water temperature should be 140°F or higher.

AJAX BOILER INC. Page 27

Condensation During startup conditions, when the boiler water temperature is below 140°F, condensation will occur. Condensation will stop when the return boiler water temperature exceeds 140°F. Water tube boilers, including the Ajax Boiler, should not be operated at water inlet temperatures below 140°F. Prolonged operation of the boiler under condensation conditions will cause damage to the boiler. If the boiler application requires inlet water temperatures below 140°F, a boiler recirculation system must be installed so that the cold inlet water is mixed with hot boiler water in a ratio to ensure that condensation does not occur.

Cold Start-ups Too many cold startups will be evidenced by rust stains on the refractory inside the boiler and around the boiler doors. If condensation occurs regularly, eventually the boiler tubes and firebox area may rust apart and collapse. Frequent shutdowns of the heating system can endanger the boiler life expectancy. With a water boiler, maintain at least the minimum inlet water temperature recommended (140°F). If an outdoor reset control is used, the controls must be arranged so that the boiler never falls below the recommended water temperature.

Soot No matter what kind of fuel is used (gas, oil, LPG), soot and scale deposits will accumulate on the outside of the boiler tubes. If the tubes aren’t cleaned regularly, boiler efficiency will be sacrificed and fuel will be wasted. Soot has excellent insulating properties, which can result in a tremendous heat loss and increased fuel consumption. CAUTION: 1. Check daily to be sure that boiler area is free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline, solvents, and other flammable vapors, liquids or materials. 2. Check daily to be sure that the flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler is not obstructed. 3. If the boiler overheats, shut it down immediately by (1) turning off the manual gas valve located on the boiler and (2) turning off the electric power to the boiler.

For other trouble shooting issues, please reference the specific control sheets included in this manual.

Ajax Boilers and Water Heaters are complete package units with safety and operating controls and are constructed with non ASBESTOS materials. Any replacement gaskets, refractory, insulation, etc used must not contain Asbestos. No additional insulation is required on the Boilers and Water Heaters. Additions or replacement of insulation on any connecting pipes or accessories to the Boilers and/or Water Heaters must be of “NON-ASBESTOS” and contain only non-hazardous materials. Crystalline Silica, a material known to cause cancer, may be encapsulated in some refractory or insulation materials and must be handled only by authorized trained personnel. Crystalline Silica as used is encapsulated and is not harm full in this form. Care must be taken during removal or replacement of refractory or insulation to remove it in bulk form and avoid generation or inhalation of dust. Removal must be properly performed by trained, qualified and equipped personnel. This is also true of Asbestos not contained in Ajax products but may be otherwise contained in replacement materials or parts, in connecting piping or other nearby products. All safety and operating controls must be set within the specified operating limits and tested periodically to assure proper operation. All limit and operating controls must be installed in series on the boiler. Connect drain pipes to a safe drain to prevent serious personal injury from relief valve discharge and or from boiler blow down discharge. After installation, check for proper operation of all limit and operating controls before leaving the site. Perform scheduled and annual inspections including checking Controls for proper calibration and performance.

Failure to follow these warnings, to allow access by unauthorized persons and the use of non-properly trained and equipped personnel in the operation, service, modification, removal or demolition of these products or replacement of parts with non-authorized factory non-asbestos materials could cause damage, personal injury or death.

Watts product specifications in U.S. customary units and metric are approximate and are provided for reference only. Watts reserves the right to change or modify product design, construction, specifications, or materials without prior notice and without incurring any obligation to make such changes and modifications on Watts products previously or subsequently sold.

As thermal expansion conditions develop, pressure builds up to the setting of the relief valve. This will cause discharging of small quantity of water. Should operating controls fail, permitting runaway firing, the boiler water may reach steam temperatures. The valve will then open to discharge steam at the rate or faster than the boiler can generate it, thus restoring system pressure to a safer level. Important: The discharge line must be the same size as the valve outlet, and must pitch downward from the valve to a safe place for disposal. Valve lever must be tripped at least once a year to insure that waterways are clear. This device is designed for emergency safety relief and shall not be used as an operating control.

FEATURES

T991A Proportional Temperature Controllers provide modulating control of water or air temperatures in ducts, tanks, and similar applications. Standard models have a sensing bulb and capillary; fast response models have a coiled sensing element that operates at least four times faster than standard controllers, depending upon operating conditions.

Locate the sensing bulb where duct air of average temperature can circulate freely around it. Avoid mounting the bulb close to hot pipes, cooling coils, and other places where air temperatures are not representative.

To Install Sensing Buld in Air Duct

í˘ą Remove cover. Using the case as a template, mark three screw hole locations on mounting sur face, then punch or drill holes. í˘˛ Fasten T991A securely to mounting surface with the furnished mounting screws.

Mounting the Controller Case

On replacement applications, mount the T991A in place of old control if requirements under LOCATION above, are met. Mount case according to instructions below. Use old sensing bulb hole, bulb holder, immersion well, or compression fitting if these are suitable; otherwise, follow the instructions below for new applications.

MOUNTING

The T991A may be mounted in any convenient position on a flat surface where the ambient temperature does not exceed 125ÂşF. When mounting on a hot or cold surface, mount the case on a wood board or other insulating material. The capilliary tube provides for remote mounting.

Neatly coil excess capillary tubing at T991A case.

To install pressure fitting:

After mounting and wiring have been completed, let the controlled equipment operate until system temperature stabilizes (from 1 to 3 hours). Observe the motor action to see if it stabilizes. If the motor shaft constantly moves back and forth, widen the T991A proportional range (about five degrees at a time) until the system is stable.

CHECKOUT

Example: If the temperature of the controlled medium is to be maintained at 130ÂşF, and proportional action from 125ÂşF to 135ÂşF ( a range of 10 degrees) is desired - turn the temperature set point indicator to 130ÂşF and the proportional range adjustmetn wheel to 10.

Range Adjustment: The T991A may be adjusted to vary the temperature range within which proportional action is desired. With cover off, turn adjustment wheel until pointer indicates desired range.

Electrical Ratings: Switch ratings are shown on the inside cover of each device. The electrical requirements on controlled equipment must not exceed this rating. L4008A—breaks the burner circuit on a rise in water temperature. It is normally used as a limit controller. When used as an operating controller or low limit, a separate high limit control must be used. L4008B—makes a control circuit on a rise in water temperature. It is normally used as a circulator controller to prevent circulator operation until boiler water temperature is at or above the control setting. L4008E—breaks the burner circuit and locks out on a rise in water temperature. It is used as a high limit controller where manual reset is desirable. L4008L—is used as a 2-stage Aquastat® controller. L6008A—makes the burner circuit on a drop in water temperature. It is normally used as a circulator and low limit cooling controller.

These remote bulb (see Fig. 7), immersion type (see Fig. 1) controllers operate in response to temperature changes in hydronic heating systems and other heated liquids.

APPLICATION

X-XX UL

95-5971-2

The boiler manufacturer generally provides a tapping for inserting the Aquastat® controller sensing element. Locate this tapping in a representative point where typical water temperature can be measured. Never locate the bulb or protecting immersion well close to a hot or cold water inlet or steam coil. Install the bulb in the supply line of an indirect water heater, in the indirect water heater itself, or in the feed riser about 6 in. (152 mm) above the boiler. If the riser is valved, install the bulb between the boiler and the valve.

Depending on model and installation requirements, install the temperature sensing bulb either in an immersion well (see Fig. 2) that extends into the boiler or tank, or directly immerse the temperature sensing bulb in the liquid. For installations not using a well, secure the bulb with a bulb compression fitting (see Fig. 3), or a capillary compression fitting (see Fig. 4). Order the well or the fitting separately.

Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

Reset Button Optional

MANUAL RESET OPTIONAL POWER OUTAGE FEATURE (Normally closed pushbutton across reset terminals) Control will ignore power loss to control. With liquid above electrode on terminal LLCO, a power outage will cause the control to de-energize, but will automatically energize upon return of power. However, loss of liquid will cause control to de-energize and remain so until liquid again rises to electrode and pushbutton is depressed.

MANUAL RESET (Normally closed pushbutton installed across reset terminals) When the liquid rises to the electrode on terminal LLCO, the control will remain de-energized until the pushbutton is depressed. The control will then energize, (LED will be lit) changing the state of the contacts. The control remains energized until the liquid level recedes below electrode on terminal LLCO. The control then de-energizes, (LED will not be lit) returning load contacts to their original state. Unless otherwise specified, there is a three second time delay on decreasing level. Liquid must be below probe on terminal LLCO for full three seconds before control de-energizes.

Optional Character Chart

Optional Manual Reset (Normally closed pushbutton across reset terminals. Pushbutton ordered separately): Manual reset only applies to the function associated with terminal LLCO. When the liquid rises to the electrode on terminal LLCO, the control will remain de-energized (load contacts in original state) until the pushbutton is depressed. The control will then energize, (LED will be lit) changing the state of the contacts. The control remains energized until the liquid level recedes below electrode on terminal LLCO. The control then deenergizes, (LED will go off) returning load contacts to their original state. Unless otherwise specified, there is a three second time delay on decreasing level. Liquid must be below probe on terminal LLCO for full three seconds before control deenergizes. Manual Reset with optional Power Outage Feature: Reset (Normally closed pushbutton across reset terminals. Pushbutton ordered separately) Control will ignore power loss to control. With liquid in contact with electrode on terminal LLCO, a power outage of less than 250 m sec. Will cause the control to de-energize, but will automatically energize upon return of power. However, loss of liquid will cause control to de-energize and remain so until liquid again rises to electrode and pushbutton is depressed. Time Delays associated with terminals H and L : With time delay on increasing level, the liquid must be in contact with the high electrode for the full duration of the time delay before control will operate. With delay on decreasing level, the liquid must be below the low electrode for the full duration of the time delay before control will operate. In single level service, terminals 3 and 4 must be jumpered together to achieve time delays on both increasing and decreasing levels or just decreasing level. Time Delays associated with terminal LLCO LLCO:: 3 Second time delay on decreasing level is standard. A 6 second time delay can be specified and would act in the same manner as listed above.

Optional

state of the load contacts. When the liquid rises to the electrode on terminal H, the relay de-energizes, returning load contacts to shelf state. (LED will not be lit). The associated relay remains de-energized until the liquid level recedes below electrode on terminal L. The relay then energizes.

WARNING

IMPORTANT: If water does not start filling the boiler, immediately turn off the the boiler and make the necessary corrections.

b. The boiler should begin to fill with water. Watch the gauge glass (J) until the water level reaches approximately d” (22mm) above the horizontal cast line (M) on the low water cut-off.

78 (22mm)

Failure to follow this warning could cause an explosion or fire and result in property damage, personal injury or death.

If the burner comes on, immediately turn the boiler off and make the necessary corrections.

a. Turn on the electric power to the boiler. With the boiler empty the pump should go on and the burner must remain off.

OFF

IMPORTANT: Follow the boiler manufacturer’s start-up and operating instructions along with all applicable codes and ordinances. Note: Water levels stated below are only for 150 psi (10.5 kg/cm2) operation.

This control is factory calibrated for specific applications. The following testing procedure is only meant to serve as a verification of proper operating sequence. Dimensions provided are typical for a boiler not being fired and/or not at pressure. Actual operating ranges are shown on page 2 in the "Operation" section.

STEP 5 - Testing

INSTALLATION COMPLETE

When the water level is at its normal level and the burner is on. Slowly open the blow down valve (G) until it is fully open. Watch the gauge glass (H) to see that the water level drops. Close the valve after verifying that the pump comes on and the burner shuts off. For Models 158 and 158S, close the blow down valve after the motorized valve opens and the burner shuts off. For Models 159 and 159S, close the blow down valve after both pumps come on. If this does not occur, immediately shut off the boiler and correct the problem and retest.

Failure to follow this caution could cause personal injury.

To prevent serious personal injury from steam pipe blow down, connect a pipe to avoid exposure to steam discharge.

d. Continue watching the gauge glass (J) to see that the water continues to rise to approximately 1a” (35mm) (17/16” (37mm) for MD models) above the horizontal cast line (M). The pump should shut off (the motorized valve should close with Models 158 and 158S, or with Models 159 and 159S, pump #1 should shut off).

For manual reset models only. When the water level reaches approximately d” (22mm) above the horizontal cast line press the reset button (N). The burner should then come on.

c. For automatic reset models only. When the water level reaches approximately d” (22mm) above the horizontal cast line (lower for MD models) the burner should come on (pump #2 should shut off with Models 159 and 159S).

Replacement Switch Assembly

CAUTION

3-Wire Burner

CAUTION

Snap switches must be replaced as an assembly.

1. Blow down the low water cut-off when the water level is at its normal level and the burner is on. Slowly open the blow down valve until it is fully open and observe the water level fall in the gauge glass. Close the valve after verifying that the pump contacts have closed and the burner shuts off. For Models 158 and 158S, close the blow down valve after the motorized valve opens and the burner shuts off. For Models 159 and 159S, close the blow down valve after both pumps come on. If this does not happen, immediately shut off the boiler and correct the problem.

Failure to follow this caution could cause personal injury.

To prevent serious personal injury from steam pipe blow down, connect a drain pipe to the control opening to avoid exposure to steam discharge.

PROCEDURE:

Replacement Mercury Tubes
