WARNING - CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION  
65: This product contains chemicals known to the  
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or  
other reproductive harm.  
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas  
supply valve fail to shut, do not turn off or disconnect  
the electrical supply to the heater. Instead, shut off  
the gas supply at a location external to the heater.  
WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper  
operation, serious personal injury, fire, or damage to  
the heater:  
Always keep the area around the heater free of  
combustible materials, gasoline, and other  
flammable liquids and vapors.  
WARNING: Do not use this heater if any part has  
been under water. Immediately call a qualified  
service technician to inspect the heater and to  
replace any part of the control system and any gas  
control which has been under water.  
Heater should never be covered or have any  
blockage to the flow of fresh air to the heater.  
WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic  
fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber.  
RCF, as manufactured, does not contain respirable  
crystalline silica. However, following sustained  
exposure to very high temperatures (>2192F), the  
RCF can transform into crystalline silica  
(cristabolite). The International Agency for Research  
on Cancer (IARC) has classified the inhalation of  
crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to  
humans.  
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. More than one  
disconnect switch may be required to de-energize  
the equipment before servicing.  
CAUTION: Operation of this heater in low  
temperature systems requires special piping.  
Harmful internal condensation will occur if the inlet  
water temperature does not exceed 105°F. Warranty  
claims will be denied when condensation occurs.  
CAUTION: If this heater is to be installed above  
radiation level, it must be provided with a low water  
cut-off device at the time of heater installation.  
When removing the burners or heat exchangers,  
take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and  
avoid inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills,  
use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air  
(HEPA) filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust.  
Use feasible engineering controls such as local  
exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to  
minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal  
protective equipment including gloves, safety  
glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH  
certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of  
airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.  
CAUTION: This heater requires forced water  
circulation when the burner is operating. See  
minimum and maximum flow rates. Severe damage  
will occur if the heater is operated without proper  
water flow circulation.  
CAUTION: If this heater is to be installed in a  
negative or positive pressure equipment room, there  
are special installation requirements. Consult factory  
for details.

Installation Base  
The boiler should be mounted on a level, non-com-  
bustible surface. Boiler must not be installed on  
carpeting. The boiler can be installed on a combustible  
surface only when a suitable floor shield base is pro-  
vided. Raypak offers an optional floor shield base  
which can be factory installed on all indoor models  
except Model 133; the Model 133 floor shield base is  
shipped loose and must be installed by the contractor.  
Do NOT use the shipping crate base as an installation  
base.  
NOTE: For Models 2100-4001, a factory-installed  
floor shield is standard. Table B provides the floor  
shield ordering information for other models.  
Fig. 2: Alternate Method for Providing a Non-  
Combustible Base  
Clearances  
NOTE: The boiler should be located in an area  
where water leakage will not result in damage to the  
area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.  
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is  
recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately  
drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan  
must not restrict air flow.

Vent Piping  
WARNING: Indoor boilers require a drafthood  
that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly  
vented to the outside. Failure to follow this  
procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide  
poisoning.  
Vent piping the same size or larger than the drafthood  
outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent  
height is at least 10 ft. (drafthood relief opening to vent  
terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as spec-  
ified in Chapter 10 of the latest edition of the National  
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.  
As much as possible, avoid long horizontal runs of  
vent pipe and too many elbows. If installation requires  
horizontal non-vertical runs, the vent pipe must have a  
minimum of 1/4 inch per foot rise and should be sup-  
ported at not more than 5 ft. intervals. Plumbers tape,  
criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and  
vertical piping.  
Fig. 13: Drafthood Installation—Models 514–824  
Models 962-1826  
Locate and assemble as shown in Fig. 14. Secure with  
screws supplied in envelope in carton.  
Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extend-  
ing above the roof more than 5 ft. should be securely  
guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads.  
We recommend the use of insulated vent pipe spacers  
through the roof and walls.  
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the  
vent pipe must terminate with a vent cap which com-  
plies with the local codes or, in the absence of such  
codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas  
Code, ANSI Z223.1.  
The discharge opening must be a minimum of 2 ft. ver-  
tically from the roof surface and at least 2 ft. higher  
than any part of the building within 10 ft.  
Vent stack shall be at least 5 ft. in vertical height above  
the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location shall have  
a minimum clearance of 4 feet horizontally from, and  
in no case above or below, unless a 4-foot horizontal  
distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas  
meters regulators and relief equipment.  
Fig. 14: Drafthood Installation—Models 962–1826  
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest  
on boiler drafthood. Support must be provided in com-  
pliance with applicable codes. The boiler top and  
drafthood must be readily removable for maintenance  
and inspection. Vent pipe should be adequately sup-  
ported to maintain proper clearances from combustible  
construction.  
Models 2100-4001  
These models have built-in drafthoods. For proper  
operation, the drafthood outlet must be connected to  
the venting system.

(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting  
system.  
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting  
system should be corrected so that the installation  
conforms with the latest edition of the National  
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When re-sizing any  
portion of the common venting system, the com-  
mon venting system should be re-sized to  
approach the minimum size as determined using  
the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National

(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size  
and horizontal pitch and make sure there is no  
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and  
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe  
condition.  
(c) As much as possible, close all building doors and  
windows and all doors between the space in which  
the appliances remaining connected to the com-  
mon venting system are located and other spaces  
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any  
appliance not connected to the common venting

Vent Damper  
Normal Operation Summary  
For safe, efficient operation, the vent damper and all  
flue product carrying areas of the appliance must be  
checked annually, with particular attention given to  
deterioration from corrosion or other sources. Check  
vent damper operation as follows:  
1. When the boiler is off, check that the vent damper  
position indicator points to the closed position. (See  
figure below.)  
2. Turn the thermostat or controller up to call for heat  
and check that the vent damper indicator points to the  
open position. (See figure below.)  
Fig. 21: Connection Diagram for Effikal® Vent Damper  
3. Turn the thermostat or controller down again and  
check that the vent damper position indicator returns  
to the closed position.  
Plumbing  
NOTE: The vent damper must be inspected at least  
once a year by a trained, experienced service  
technician. The name of the person who originally  
installed your vent damper is shown on the  
installation label. Damper must be in open position  
when boiler main burners are operating.

Gas Supply Connections  
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the  
boiler gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve locat-  
ed outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be  
tested after installation in accordance with local codes.

CAUTION: The boiler and its manual shut-off valve  
must be disconnected from the gas supply during  
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures  
in excess of 1/2 PSIG. Dissipate test pressure in  
the gas supply line before reconnecting the boiler  
and its manual shut-off valve to gas supply line.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY  
DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. OVER PRESSURED  
GAS VALVES ARE NOT COVERED BY  
WARRANTY. The boiler and its gas connections  
shall be leak tested before placing the appliance in  
operation. Use soapy water for leak test do NOT use  
open flame.  
Gas valves that are equipped with a gas bleed must be  
vented to the outdoors as required by the National  
Fuel Gas Code. Under NO circumstances shall bleed  
lines terminate in the gas utilization equipment flue or

Gas Pressure Regulator  
Fig. 23: Bleed Line Connection Location  
The gas pressure regulator is preset nominally at 4"  
W.C. for natural gas, and 11" W.C. for propane.  
Between the gas valve and the burners is a 1/8" pipe  
plug. The pressure at this point, taken with a manome-  
ter, should be about 3.7" W.C. for natural gas and  
10.5" W.C. for propane. Low NOx models should be  
3.9" W.C., natural gas only. If an adjustment is need-  
ed, turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase  
pressure, or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.  
General  
Boiler should be located so that any water leaks will  
not cause damage to any adjacent areas or structures.  
See piping diagrams for proper water connections for  
the type of boiler and system.  
Pump Selection  
For boilers with mechanical modulation gas valves  
(Type H1 and H5) or two-stage gas valves (Type H3),  
the gas pressure regulator is preset and sealed, and  
not field adjustable. Pressure tap is provided on the  
outlet side of the gas valve for measurement of gas  
pressure in the manifold.  
In order to ensure proper hydraulics in your hydronic  
heating system, adequate pump size must be select-  
ed. We recommend that the pump be sized for 20°F  
Delta T whenever possible. (Delta T is the temperature

gas valves. These dual-seat combination valves have  
the pressure regulator and 24 volt operator built-in.  
The hydraulic actuator will throttle the boiler input to  
adjust the firing rate and meet the required load. This,  
in effect, prevents costly fuel consumption, as com-  
pared to an on-off cycling boiler.  
The Economaster II is an electronic device that allows  
the operator to set the desired time for the pump to run  
after the boiler shuts off. The time is factory-set at 7  
minutes and it can be re-adjusted in the field anywhere  
from 3 to 10 minutes.  
In a conventional system, when the aquastat is satis-  
fied, the main gas valve closes, but the pump  
continues operating. With the energy-conserving  
Economaster II the boiler pump is programmed to con-  
tinue running for an optimum period of time in order to  
absorb the residual heat from the combustion chamber  
and use it in the system. The pump then shuts off until  
the next call for heat is received from the aquastat.  
The valve has a remote capillary bulb immersed in a  
well, at the header outlet, to maintain a constant outlet  
water temperature. When multiple valves are fur-  
nished, they can be staged to give greater flexibility of  
control. Standard factory setting is at position 5.  
Consult the dial setting tag attached to the control for  
your desired temperature. See sample tag drawings  
below.  
NOTE: Pump will come on when power is first  
applied to boiler.  
NOTE: No external control of the valve position is  
possible.

Electronic Ignition  
The intermittent ignition device conserves energy by  
automatically extinguishing the pilot when desired

ed, the pilot re-ignites electrically, eliminating the fuel  
costs of maintaining a constant pilot. To ensure safe  
operation, the gas valve cannot open until the pilot  
relights and is proven.

General  
Initial Start-Up - Pump and  
Motor  
Before lighting up a new installation, water should be  
flowing through the boiler. Regulator should be set to  
minimum 12 PSI.  
Many pumps are now direct-drive. They have no cou-  
pler or bearing assembly. These pumps do not require  
lubrication. Others require SAE-30 non-detergent oil to  
lubricate both the motor and the bearing assembly.  
Check pump motor for type before attempting to oil.  
CAUTION: Propane gas is heavier than air and  
sinks to the ground. Exercise extreme care in light-  
ing boiler in confined areas.  
Clean dust and lint from pump and motor. Check pump  
coupler and tighten if necessary. Flush system before  
putting into operation to ensure that foreign material  
does not damage pump seals.  
Filling System - Heating  
Boilers  
Fill system with water. Purge all air from the system  
using purge valve sequence. After system is purged of

reaches the pilot burner.  
b. Spark ignition should cut-off when pilot flame  
is established.  
c. Main gas valve should open and main burner  
should ignite after gas reaches the burner  
port.  
Inspections  
Burners  
Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and  
debris. Keep boiler area clear and free from com-  
bustibles and flammable liquids. Do not obstruct the  
flow of combustion and ventilation air. Make visual  
check of burner and pilot flame. Yellow flame indicates  
clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi-  
cates high gas pressure. Low flame indicates low gas  
pressure.  
Fig. 43: Pilot Burner Flame (Standing Pilot Units)  
Controls  
Check all controls to see that they are operational. To  
check electronic safety (IID Models), turn off main  
burner. Observe pilot burner when shutting off pilot  
gas. Ignition spark should go on. Main gas valve will  
also drop out.  
To check high limit switch, turn dial setting down to a  
point slightly below the temperature of the water leav-  
ing the heater. The reset button should snap out and  
the burner should shut-off. Reset dial to 30°F to 40°F  
above desired operating temperature, and push reset  
button. Burner should light.  
Suggested Inspection  
Schedule  
Modulating burner flame varies in height from approximately 1/4"  
at low fire to approximately 4" at high fire.  
Fig. 41: Typical Main Burner Flame  
The boiler should be inspected on the first and third  
months after initial start-up and then on an annual  
basis. If problems are found, refer to Troubleshooting  
Guide for additional directions.  
1. Remove top of heater and inspect heat exchanger  
for soot and examine venting system.  
2. Remove rear header and inspect for scale  
deposits, and/or accelerated erosion.  
*3. Inspect pilot and main burner flame and firing rate.  
*4. Inspect and operate all controls and gas valve.  
*5. Visually inspect system for water leaks.  
Fig. 42: Pilot Burner Flame (IID Units)  
*6. a. Oil pump motor and bearing assembly, if oil  
cups are provided.  
b. Disconnect pump from header and check condi-  
tion of pump impeller. Check condition of bearing  
by attempting to move impeller from side to side.

Replace any parts showing wear.  
c. Check pump coupler for wear and vibration.  
Operation  
On call for heat, the ignition system, consisting of an  
electronic spark module, and gas pilot system is ener-  
gized. Providing pilot is proven, blower will start  
running, the main gas valve will open and the boiler  
will operate. When the operating control is satisfied the  
boiler will shut down.  
7. Check flow switch paddle.  
8. Clean room air intake openings to ensure ade-  
quate flow of combustion and ventilation air.  
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be  
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which  
can damage the boiler and void the warranty.  
Start-Up (S8600H)  
1. Turn on power to the boiler with gas supply off.  
9. Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible  
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors  
and liquids.  
2. Check ignition module as follows:  
a. Set the thermostat or controller to call for heat.  
b. Watch for continuous spark at the pilot burner.  
c. Check the ignition spark operation. Time must  
be within the lockout timing period (90 sec-  
onds).  
*Should be checked monthly. (Takes approximately  
15 minutes).  
d. Turn control down to end call for heat and wait  
60 seconds before beginning step 3.  
LOW NOx BOILERS—  
Models 181 to 401  
3. Turn on gas supply.  
The boilers are certified and tested under the latest  
edition of the ANSI Z21.13 standards for hot water  
boilers.  
4. Set controller to call for heat.  
5. System should start as follows:  
a. Spark will turn on and pilot gas valve will open.  
b. Main valve and blower will be powered after  
pilot flame signal is proven.  
The boiler should be installed to meet the latest edition  
of all local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1  
and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.  
c. Heater will operate until call for heat is satis-  
fied.  
Blower Adjustment  
The blower is set for optimal operation. If adjustment is  
needed, see Fig. 46.  
Visual Inspection  
Flame can be observed through the slot opening  
above the plenum. Flame color is blue and evenly  
spread on the top surface of the burner. At least every  
three months a visual inspection should be made of  
the burners. In case flame lifting is observed, check  
gas pressure on manifold and static pressure in  
plenum. Gas pressure in manifold should be 3.9" W.C.  
and static pressure in plenum should be greater than  
0.5" W.C.

Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch  
The boiler is equipped with a cut-off device to prevent  
flame roll-out in the event the heat exchanger  
becomes blocked. This is a "manual reset" type roll-  
out switch, that must be reset by a service technician  
after any over temperature conditions have been fixed.  
Excessive restriction in the heat exchanger flue pas-  
sage may cause the switch to disable the boiler.

Tube Cleaning Procedure  
2. Disconnect wires at gas valve and slide burner  
tray out.  
Establish a regular inspection schedule, the frequency  
depending on the local water condition and severity of  
service. Do not let the tubes clog up solidly. Clean out  
deposits over 1/16" in thickness.  
Gas Valve Removal  
1. Shut-off gas supply to the boiler. Remove gas pip-  
ing to gas valve inlet.  
The boiler may be cleaned from the side opposite the  
water connections as shown, without breaking pipe  
connections. It is preferable, however, to remove both  
headers for better visibility through the tubes and to be  
sure the residue does not get into the system.  
2. Disconnect wires, pilot tubing and bleed line, if  
required.  
3. Turn vertical gas pipe from manifold slightly and  
unscrew gas valve.  
Note that you do not remove the top pan or the heat  
exchanger generally. After reaming with the auger,  
mount the wire brush and clean out the debris remain-  
ing in the tubes. Another method is to remove the heat  
exchanger, ream tubes and immerse heat exchanger  
in noninhibited de-scale solvent.  
4. Reverse above procedure to re-install.

in the system. Make sure that system pump oper-  
ates immediately on the call for heat. The system  
is ready for operation.  
7. Lift heat exchanger straight up using caution not to  
damage refractory.  
12. Within two (2) days of start-up, recheck all air  
vents and expansion tank levels.

5. Install inlet and return pipes in water headers  
using pipe thread sealant.  
Remove top, sensing bulb and clip. Collapse well tube  
at the opening with a chisel, push through into header  
and remove the well through header. Insert a new well  
and roll into place. If a roller is not available, solder the  
well in place with silver solder.  
6. Install water pressure relief valve, flow switch, and  
low water cut-off devices if so equipped.  
7. Open water supply and return shut-off valves. Fill  
boiler and water piping system with water. Check  
boiler and piping system for leaks at full line pres-  
sure. Run system circulating pump for a minimum  
of 1/2 hour with boiler off.  
Tube Replacement Procedure  
1. Remove heat exchanger from boiler following  
instructions outlined under HEAT EXCHANGER  
REMOVAL above.  
8. Shut down entire system and vent all radiation  
units and high points in system piping. Check all  
strainers for debris. Expansion tank water level  
should be at the 1/4 mark and the balance of the  
tank filled with air.  
2. Remove in/out and return headers. Remove "V"  
baffle from damaged tube.  
3. Remove damaged tube by cutting with a hack saw  
or shearing with a chisel adjacent to each tube  
sheet.  
9. Install flue collector, jacket top and inspection pan-  
els. Install top holding screws. Install draft diverter  
and vent piping if so equipped.  
4. Collapse stub ends in tube sheets using a chisel or  
screwdriver. DO NOT cut into tube sheet or mar  
surface in tube hole in any way.
