0ROPANE BOILERS ONLY — Your propane
supplier mixes an odorant with the propane
to make its presence detectable. In some
instances, the odorant can fade and the gas
may no longer have an odor.
N Propane gas can accumulate at floor
level. Smell near the floor for the gas
odorant or any unusual odor. If you
suspect a leak, do not attempt to light
the burner.
N Use caution when attempting to light a
propane burner (or pilot burner). This
should be done by a qualified service
technician, particularly if flame out-
ages (or pilot outages) are common.
N Periodically check the odorant level of
your gas.
N Inspect boiler and system at least yearly
to make sure all gas piping is leak-
tight.

Before installing boiler (continued)
Combustion and ventilation air openings
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided to assure proper combustion and prevent
possibility of flue gas leakage and carbon monoxide
emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
Do not install an exhaust fan in boiler room. Incor-
rect burner operation can result.
When combustion and ventilation air enters
through side wall openings, ensure that the open-
ings comply with the requirements of Figure 3 and
Figure 4.
Opening sizes must comply with state, provincial or
local codes. In the absence of local requirements, use
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI/NFPA 54). The
following information is taken from ANSI/NFPA 54.
For details and information not addressed below,
refer to the standard.
Combustion air openings to inside
2EQUIRED VOLUME OF INTERIOR SPACES
ANSI/NFPA 54 allows combustion air to be supplied through openings
to interior spaces IF THE VOLUME OF THE CONNECTED INTERIOR SPACES
MEETS THE MINIMUM VOLUME REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
The minimum volume of interior spaces can be taken as 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btuh of all appliances in the spaces, or the minimum volume
can be calculated using the formulas given in ANSI/NFPA 54. Excep-
tion: If the air infiltration rate for the spaces is known to be less than
0.40 air changes per hour, the minimum volume must be calculated
as specified in the standard.
)NSIDE AIR OPENING SIZES AND LOCATIONS
For spaces that provide the minimum volume required by ANSI/
NFPA 54, the air openings must be sized per the following:
#OMBINING SPACES ON THE SAME STORY Each opening shall have
a minimum free area of 1 in2 ⁄1000 Btuh (2200 mm2 /kW) of the total
input rating of all appliances in the space but not less than 100 in2
(0.06 m2). One opening shall commence within 12 inches (300 mm)
of the top, and one opening shall commence within 12 inches (300
mm) of the bottom, of the enclosure. The minimum dimension of air
openings shall be not less than 3 inches (80 mm).
#OMBINING SPACES IN DIFFERENT STORIES The volumes of spaces
in different stories shall be considered as communicating spaces where
such spaces are connected by one or more openings in doors or floors
having a total minimum free area of 2 in2 ⁄1000 Btuh (4400 mm2 /kW)
of total input rating of all appliances.

outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal
duct to the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the
outdoors and shall have a minimum free area of the following:
(1) 1 in2 ⁄3000 Btu/hr (700 mm2 per kW) of the total input rating
of all appliances located in the enclosure, and . . .
(2) Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in
the space.
Combustion air — combination indoor
and outdoor openings
ANSI/NFPA 54 allows combustion air to be taken from a com-
bination of openings to outside and to interior spaces. Follow all
requirements of the standard to determine the minimum volume
of interior spaces and to calculate minimum sizes of openings.

Where all combustion air is provided by a mechanical air supply
system, the combustion air shall be supplied from outdoors at
the minimum rate of 0.35 ft3/minute per 1000 Btuh (0.034 m3/
min per kW) for all appliances located within the space.
s Where exhaust fans are installed in the building, addi-
tional air shall be provided to replace the exhausted air.
s Each of the appliances served shall be interlocked to the
mechanical air supply system to prevent main burner
operation where the mechanical air supply system is not
in operation.
s Where combustion air is provided by the building’s me-
chanical ventilation system, the system shall provide the
specified combustion air rate in addition to the required
ventilation air.
Louvers, Grilles, and Screens.
The required size of openings for combustion, ventilation, and di-
lution air shall be based on the NET FREE AREA of each opening.
Where the free area through a design of louver or grille or screen
is known, it shall be used in calculating the size opening required
to provide the free area specified.

Assembling the block
Sections are top heavy. Unbolted sections may fall if not
supported, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
Prepare the back section first
1. Place ¼" x 3" steel plates on the floor or foundation, spaced 51 inches
apart, as shown in Figure 1, page 4.
2. Apply 1⁄8" continuous bead of sealing rope adhesive in sealing rope
grooves around section perimeter and around flueways — see Fig-
ure 6.
$O NOT GET ANY ADHESIVE ON THE MACHINED PORT SUR
FACES.
Place sealing rope in grooves
1. Place 5⁄8" coated and uncoated sealing rope in the rope grooves as shown
in Figure 6.
2. See WARNING below — place coated rope and uncoated rope as
described.
3. Around curves, grasp rope at 1" intervals and push together. $O NOT
STRETCH THE ROPE.
The boiler is supplied with TWO types of section sealing
rope — uncoated and coated with a narrow uncoated
strip.
Use the uncoated rope only on the flueways as shown in
Figure 6.
Use the coated rope around the perimeter and around the
upper nipple port as shown in Figure 6. The uncoated side
of the rope must be pressed into the adhesive as shown in
order to obtain a proper adhesion.
DO NOT pre-cut rope for sections. Cut rope as each sec-
tion is placed.
A gas-tight seal must be maintained to prevent possibility
of flue gas leakage and carbon monoxide emissions, caus-
ing severe personal injury or death.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing com-
pounds in boiler system. Severe damage to system compo-
nents can result, causing substantial property damage.
Install nipple port sealing rings
1. Remove any grit from port machined surfaces with clean rag.
2. Place 9" and 6" sealing rings in appropriate port openings as shown in
Figure 6, page 8. If sealing ring slips out of groove, stretch ring gently
for several seconds, then reposition in groove.
3. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant no larger than 1⁄16" around
entire outside edge of the OUTER machined surface of the port. See

Raise the rear section upright
1. Hoist the back section upright.
2. Move rear section into position on the steel rails. The
section should be 4 inches from the end of the founda-
tion (if used) as shown in Figure 1, page 4.
3. Block under the the flueway outlet to hold the rear sec-
tion upright in plumb position.
The back section must be plumb before in-
stalling other sections to ensure the block will
assemble correctly.
4. The blocking under the flueway can be removed later,
after several intermediate sections have been attached
and the assembly is stable.
5. Install intermediate sections and front section as de-
scribed on the following.
Install intermediate sections
1. Remove and discard 3⁄8" diameter shipping tie rods.
2. Remove grit from port machined surfaces with clean rag.
Also remove grit from tapped holes in all sections.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or
sealing compounds in boiler system. Severe
damage to system components can result,
causing substantial property damage.
3. Position intermediate section so aligning lugs fit into
sockets of next section. See Figure 8.
4. Draw sections together until metal-to-metal contact is
made around machined port openings (see Figure 8):
a. Oil threads on (4) 5⁄8" x 11" draw rods. Install washer
and nut on end to be tightened. Use nut only on
other end.
b. Uniformly draw sections together, starting at
washer/nut end.
Important — Leave an equal amount of thread
on each end of the draw rod. This is needed
to allow securing the jacket support brackets
in place. The draw rods must not extend past
the face of the front or back section, or they
will interfere with the jacket.
c. Draw rods should be torqued to a range of 100 to
120 ft-lbs. Do not back off draw rods.
d. Metal-to-metal contact will be achieved around port
openings. See Figure 8. If gap occurs, it should be no
greater than .032". Check with feeler gauge.

If the boiler was ordered with tankless coils, the heaters must be located on the right hand side of the boiler. It is important to position the TI
sections (where used) in the exact location in the boiler section assembly as shown above so the heater knockout openings in the jacket side
panels will accommodate the heaters. If the TI sections and internal water heaters are not positioned in the boiler section assembly as shown
above, the installer must cut openings in the jacket side panels to accommodate the heaters.
e. If, for any reason, the gap around machined port open-
ing exceeds .032", check for rope extending from rope
grooves, dirt on port openings or sockets, or misaligned
lugs. If corrections are made and gap still exists, contact
your Weil-McLain distributor or sales office before con-
tinuing installation.
After erecting first intermediate section, check
both sections for plumb. Repeat the check as each
additional section is installed. Failure to plumb sec-
tions can cause misaligned piping and breeching,
possibly resulting in property damage.
5. Repeat steps 1-5 for all remaining sections. NOTE — use 5⁄8"
x 10" draw rods between intermediates. When used, install TI
(tankless intermediate) and SI (supply intermediate) sections
in the positions shown in Figure 9, page 10.
6. Check each section for proper sealing rope position before
proceeding to next section.
Failure to position sealing rope properly can
cause boiler to not seal gas-tight. Gas tight seal
prevents possible flue gas leakage and carbon

Connect water boiler piping
General water piping information
1. System water supply and return piping should be installed and
piping connections attached to boiler before erecting jacket or
installing controls.
2. Do not pipe in through supply and out through return. This creates
reverse water flow through boiler that must not be used.
3. When installing in a system in which return water temperature can
drop below 140°F, apply the by-pass piping with by-pass pump as
shown in Figure 16, page 15.
4. When three-way valves are used for temperature modulation,
install slow-opening valves to minimize the potential of boiler
thermal shock.
Install piping
Install piping as shown in Figure 12, page 14 and Figure 16, page 15
(if applicable) for single boilers. For multiple boilers, see Fig-
ure 17, page 15.
Improperly piped systems or undersized piping can
contribute to erratic boiler operation and possible boiler
or system damage.
1. Connect supply and return piping:
a. Size according to tables below.
s For KNOWN mOW RATES OR HIGHER mOW RATE (less than 20°F
temperature rise) through boiler, see Figure 13.
s For UNKNOWN FLOW RATES, size piping per Figure 15,
page page 15, using 20°F temperature rise through boiler.
Flow at higher rates than shown in the tables in this
manual for given pipe sizes can damage the boiler, caus-
ing substantial property damage.
b. Locate circulator in supply piping.
c. For return piping, use full diameter pipe for 10 times that
diameter before making any reduction. For example, a 4-inch
return should not be reduced any closer to boiler return tap-
ping than 40 inches.
d. Install system blow-off (drain) valve in lowest part of return
piping close to boiler. ASME minimum size requirements are
given in Figure 15, page 15.
2. Install expansion tank:
a. #LOSED TYPE – connect to 11⁄4" tapping T1, T2 or X2 (see
Figure 10, page 12). Use 1" NPT piping. Any horizontal pip-
ing must pitch up toward tank at least 1 inch per each 5 feet
of piping.
b. $IAPHRAGM TYPE – Refer to tank manufacturer's literature for
location. Install automatic air vent in 11⁄4" tapping T1, T2 or
X2 (see Figure 10, page 12).
c. Connect cold water fill to expansion tank piping. Figure 12
shows typical piping when using a closed type tank. Connect
to the same location as the expansion tank connects to the
system when using a diaphragm type tank.
d. Also shown are recommended valves and water meter, when
used. Water meter will detect added make-up water, indicating
leaks in system.

Connect steam boiler piping
General steam piping information:
1. Hartford loop piping arrangement and wet return are required for
steam boilers. Use the Hartford loop for both pumped-return and
gravity-return systems.
2. Maintain 24-inch minimum from waterline to bottom of header (86 3⁄4"
from bottom of section).
3. When using condensate receiver, feed pump must be energized by
boiler-mounted pump controller.
4. Install piping:
a. Install piping as shown on page 17 through page 18 for single boil-
ers. See page 19 for additional requirements when piping multiple
boilers.
b. Return pipe sizing.
s Pumped return — Size return piping by pump.
s Gravity return — Size gravity return same as Hartford loop
equalizer pipe size.
c. Drain valve — Install system drain valve in lowest part of return
piping close to boiler. See Figure 15, page 15, for sizing.
d. Cold water fill piping — Connect cold water fill piping as shown in
Figure 18. Also shown are recommended valves and water meter,
if used. Water meter will detect added makeup water, indicating
leaks in system.
e. Condensate return piping:
s Satisfactory operation of any steam heating system depends on
adequate return of condensate to maintain steady water level.
s Avoid adding excessive amounts of raw make-up water.
s Where condensate return is not adequate, a low water cutoff
with pump control, condensate receiver, and condensate boiler
feed pump should be installed.
s See Figure 19 for piping and Figure 20 for sizing.

Improperly piped systems or undersized piping can
contribute to erratic boiler operation and possible boiler
or system damage. Piping system must be installed as
shown, using pipe sizes shown. Pipe sizes shown are for
two-pipe, pumped-return systems. Adjust pipe sizing
as needed when connecting to gravity-return systems.
Consult local Weil-McLain distributor or sales office
before installing alternate piping.
Steam boiler piping guidelines
-INIMUM HEIGHT OF HEADER ABOVE WATER LINE MUST
be 24 inches
The boiler header must always be at least INCHES
above the water line, as shown in all steam boiler piping
diagrams. Installing the pipe lower will result in increased
water carryover to the system, resulting in potential seri-
ous damage to system components and oxygen corrosion
due to excess make-up water.
(ARTFORD LOOP PIPING FOR ALL STEAM BOILERS
1. You must install the system supply pipe between the equalizer
elbow and the last boiler riser pipe connection to the header. This
assists in separating water from the steam as it turns upward into
the steam supply pipe.
2. Locate the top of the Hartford loop return nipple at least 4 inches
below the water line, as shown.

(OT WATER CAN SCALD
Consumer Product Safety Commission and some
states recommend domestic hot water tempera-
ture of 130°F or less.
When installing an automatic mixing valve, se-
lection and installation MUST comply with valve
manufacturer's recommendations and instruc-
tions.
Water heated to a temperature suitable for clothes
washing, dish washing and other sanitizing needs
will scald and cause injury.
Children, elderly, infirm or physically handi-
capped persons are more likely to be injured
by hot water. Never leave them unattended in
or near a bathtub, shower or sink. Never allow
small children to use a hot water faucet or draw
their own bath. If anyone using hot water in the
building fits this description, or if state laws or
local codes require certain water temperatures at
hot water faucets, take special precautions:
— Install automatic mixing valve set according
to those standards.
— Use lowest practical temperature setting.
— Check water temperature immediately after
first heating cycle and after any adjustment.
To pipe tankless heaters:
1. See Figure 31.
2. Size piping no smaller than heater inlet and out-
let.
3. Automatic mixing valve must be installed. See
Figure 31. Follow manufacturer's instructions to
install.
4. Flow regulating valve must be installed. Size accord-
ing to continuous draw of heater. See Figure 30.
Follow manufacturer's instructions to install.
5. Operating control with small adjustable differen-
tial scale is recommended. Install in temperature
control tapping in heater plate.
6. Multiple tankless heaters (see Figure 31):
a. Use cold water supply header with individual
risers to each heater. Size header by increasing
one pipe size for each additional heater.
b. Use hot water outlet header with individual
risers to each heater. Size header by increasing
one pipe size for each additional heater.
c. Do not pipe multiple heaters in series.
7. In hard water areas, soften cold domestic water
supply to heaters to prevent lime build-up.

Connect breeching and venting systems
Seal the venting system gas-tight and connect the breech-
ing with welded seams and joints to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the boiler room. This is most
important for forced draft vent systems. Conventional
flue pipe should not be used as it could leak flue gases
and carbon monoxide emissions through seams and
joints, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
General venting information
1. Model 94 boilers operate with positive overfire pressure. Adjust
damper assembly (see Figure 44, page 35) during burner start-up
to achieve 0.1" W.C. positive pressure at damper sample hole.
Construct metal breeching:
1. 894-2194 boilers — construct "stub" to attach breeching:
a. Use steel breeching-16 ga. or heavier, 20" nominal diameter,
minimum 6-inch length (so damper can open).
b. Unbolt the breeching counterflange from flue collar flange.
c. Insert or butt the breeching stub against counter flange so
stub is square to flange. Stub must not extend past the face of
the flange.
d. Weld stub to flange gas-tight. Use caution when welding to
avoid warping the flange due to excessive heat accumulation.

e. Make sure the sealing rope is intact on the flue collar flange.
f. Attach the flange/stub assembly to the flue collar using ½" x
1½" machine bolts and washers provided. The connection
must be gas-tight.
2. 2294-2594 boilers — attach factory-supplied breeching adapter:
a. The boiler is supplied with a flanged breeching adapter 22-inch
diameter x 12 inches long.
b. Make sure the sealing rope is intact on the flue collar flange.
c. Attach the flange/stub assembly to the flue collar using ½" x
1½" machine bolts and washers provided. The connection
must be gas-tight.
3. See Figure 39 for minimum breeching diameter.
4. Select material type and thickness in compliance with local
codes.
5. Refer to ASHRAE Guide for chimney and breeching calculations
and construction and lining.
Long horizontal breechings, excessive number of tees and
elbows or other obstructions restricting combustion gas
flow can result in possibility of condensation, flue gas
leakage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe
personal injury or death.

If sealing rope is used, apply 1⁄8" continuous bead of rope adhesive
around burner mounting flange and apply sealing rope to make
gas-tight seal.
3. Mount burner into opening in burner mounting plate.
Maintain gas-tight seal between burner mounting flange
and plate to prevent damage to air tube.
4. Level burner using burner support brackets where required.
5. Secure with furnished bolts.
6. Retain burner information packet. Keep with boiler.
To wire burner and boiler controls
Electric shock hazard. Can cause severe personal injury
or death if power source is not disconnected before
installing or servicing boiler and burner.
1. Install all wiring in compliance with:
s National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
s Any additional national, state, or local codes.
2. Follow burner manual and wiring diagram found in burner in-
formation packet.
3. Use #14 AWG wire for operating and safety circuit wiring.
4. Where burner motor voltage differs from control voltage, supply
proper voltage to each. Size fused disconnects and conductors per
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
Determine if water treatment is needed
(water boilers only)
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing com-
pounds in boiler system. Severe damage to system
components can result, causing substantial property
damage.
Continual make-up water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up
in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast iron and causing
section failure.
For unusually hard water areas or low pH conditions
(less than 7.0) consult local water treatment company.
Provide a water softener for make-up water if hardness
exceeds 7 grains.
Freeze protection (when used)
(water boilers only)
1. Use antifreeze especially made for hydronic systems.
Inhibited propylene glycol is recommended.
Do not use automotive, ethylene glycol
or undiluted antifreeze. Severe personal
injury or death can result.
2. 50% solution provides protection to about -30°F.
3. Local codes may require back-flow preventer or
actual disconnect from city water supply.
4. Determine quantity according to system water
content. Boiler water content is listed in "Ratings,"
page 41. Percent of solution will affect sizing of heat
distribution units, circulator and expansion tank.
5. Follow antifreeze manufacturer's instructions.

'AS PIPING
1. In sizing the gas piping, the following factors should be consid-
ered:
a. Diameter and length of the gas supply piping.
b. Number of fittings.
c. Maximum gas consumption (including any possible future
expansion).
d. Allowable loss in gas pressure from the gas meter outlet to
the boiler.
2. Minimum inlet natural gas pressure required at manual main shut-
off valve — see the burner manual and material list.
3. Follow good piping practices.
4. Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant to the corrosive
action of liquefied petroleum gases and applied sparingly only to
the male threads of pipe joints.
5. A ground joint union must be installed in the piping to provide
for servicing. The supply piping must include a manual shut-off
valve and sediment trap. See Figure 43.
6. Piping must be supported by hangers, not by the burner or its
accessories.
7. Purge all air from the supply piping.
8. All gas piping must be tested for leaks after installation. Use soap
suds mixture only.
Fuel oil piping
To prevent oil flow in case of oil line breakage:
s 5SE ANTI
SYPHON DEVICE WHEN ANY PART OF THE OIL TANK
is above burner level.
s 5SE CHECK VALVE IN SUCTION LINE ON BURNER SIDE OF
manual shut-off valve nearest tank when top of fuel
oil tank is below burner level.
Failure to comply could result in fuel leakage or fire, caus-
ing potential severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
1. A two-pipe fuel oil piping system is required for all installations.
2. Supply and return lines must enter tank from top, extending to
within 4 to 6 inches from bottom of tank.
3. Use oil filter sized for fuel pump suction gear capacity.
4. Install oil filter.
Do not install filter outside or close to an outside wall.
5. Use continuous copper tubing to reduce possible piping leaks and
to ensure reliable seal when oil piping is buried.
6. Use flare fittings, not compression fittings.
&IRE HAZARD — DO NOT USE soldered fittings. No safe
repair can be made.
7. Follow good piping practices.
8. Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant
to corrosive action of fuel oil. Apply sparingly only
to male threads of pipe joints.
9. Supply and return piping should be sized to design
conditions, but not less than ½" O.D. continuous
copper tubing.
10. Auxiliary fuel oil pump is recommended when
suction line lift exceeds 12 feet.
11. Install swing joints so they will tighten as buried
tank settles to prevent fuel line breakage.
12. Where iron pipe is required by local codes, make

(0.01%).
c. &LUE GAS TEMPERATURE NO LOWER THAN &
On some applications, if draft conditions or burner char-
acteristics cause the burner flame pattern to impinge on
the combustion chamber wall, you may notice pinging
sounds from the boiler. Adjust the burner if possible to
redirect the flame. If this does not work, contact your
boiler supplier or Weil-McLain to obtain an optional
combustion chamber kit (see page 44 for contents).
5. Adjust flue collar damper ( Figure 44) to ensure 0.1" W.C. positive
pressure at test opening.

7. Plug test opening with 1⁄8" plug provided with flue collar/damper
assembly.
8. Adjust barometric draft control, when used, to design condi-
tions.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 6. Adjust as required.
Skim steam boilers:
Clean all newly installed steam boilers to remove oil.
Failure to properly clean can result in violent water level
fluctuations, water passing into steam mains, or high
maintenance costs on strainers, traps and vents. Skim
boiler only. Do not clean old piping or leaks can occur.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing com-
pounds in boiler system. Severe damage to system
components can result, causing substantial property
damage.

Maintenance and troubleshooting (continued)
Water chemistry and make-up
Do not use petroleum-based clean-
ing or sealing compounds in boiler
system. Severe damage to system
components can result, causing
substantial property damage.
Leaks in the boiler and piping sys-
tem must be repaired at once. If a
leak is detected around a gasket (i.e.
tankless heater, supply outlet, etc.)
tighten evenly and only enough to
stop the leak Over-tightening can
ruin a gasket.
The constant addition of makeup
water may damage the boiler.
If serious leaks occur, stop the
burner. Then gradually reduce boiler
pressure or temperature. Do not
attempt to make repairs while the
boiler is hot or under pressure.
If the boiler or system are experienc-
ing large amounts of makeup water,
extreme foaming or priming, scale in
the boiler, or internal corrosion or
pitting, contact a company special-
izing in boiler water chemistry.
DO NOT try "homemade cures"
or boiler "patent medicines" on the
market under various trade names,
as serious damage to the boiler, per-
sonnel, and property may result.
Failure to comply with the above
could result in severe personal in-
jury, death or substantial property
damage.
Read before proceeding
The boiler must be inspected,
cleaned as necessary, started up and
adjusted by a qualified boiler service
technician.
%LECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD — Dis-
connect electrical supplies to the
boiler before servicing.
%XPLOSION HAZARD — Shut off the
fuel supply to the boiler while servic-
ing.
"URN HAZARD — Allow the boiler to
cool before touching boiler surfaces
or contacting boiler water.
The boiler area must be kept clear of
combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapor or liquids.
Do not block the flow of air to the
burner. Incomplete combustion, flue
gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions can occur.

Cleaning boiler heating surfaces and
flueways
Do not brush or vacuum the firebox or combus-
tion chamber area of those boilers using fibrous
combustion chamber material.
Do not use stick-type thermal bombs in this
boiler.
1. Soot is an effective insulator and prevents flue gases from
heating the boiler water as efficiently as possible. The fre-
quency of cleaning will depend upon the fuel used, the
burner adjustments, boiler temperature, draft conditions,
and other job factors.
2. Remove top or side jacket panel(s).
3. Remove the flueway opening cover(s).
4. Cover the burner and controls.
5. Using a wire flue brush, thoroughly brush the flueways at
all angles.
6. Remove any soot or scale from the horizontal and/or vertical
flueways, the boiler firebox.
7. Remove access panel and enter the boiler to clean combustion
chamber with special flue brushes provided.
8. Clean the base of the chimney using a vacuum cleaner or
brush.
9. Replace the flueway opening cover(s), access panels and
jacket panel(s), making sure the original gas-tight seal is
maintained.
10. If additional cleaning is required:
a. Replace access panels and start the boiler following all
instructions in this manual.
b. Heat the boiler water to 180°F. Then turn the boiler off,
disconnect electrical power and fuel supplies.
c. Remove the flueway opening covers.
d. Use a garden sprayer or connect a spray nozzle to a
garden hose and spray the sooted flueways with a fine
mist of water.
e. The soot will become loosened and fall to the floor of the
firebox and around the horizontal flueways.
f. Remove the loosened soot.
Seasonal boiler shutdown
DO NOT DRAIN BOILER during periods of shut-
down unless exposed to freezing temperatures.
If boiler is shut down during severe winter weather,
have the heating system inspected periodically or
thoroughly drain the heating and plumbing system
following the instructions in this manual for long-
term shutdown.
1. Turn off all power supplies to the boiler and its compo-
nents.
2. Close all fuel valves.
3. Cover the burner to protect it from dust and dampness.
4. Steam boilers — open boiler blowdown valve and flush till
clear while under steam pressure.
5. Water boilers — open the boiler drain cock to remove im-
purities. It may be necessary to drain several gallons of water
until all traces of sediment are gone. Refill the boiler to the
proper water level or pressure.
Boiler water does not have to be crystal clear for
Weil-McLain 94 Water and steam boilers — for Gas, Light Oil, & Gas/Light Oil-Fired Burners
40 Part No. 550-110-275/0810
If gauge glass breaks, close off both gauge cocks
and loosen the glass retaining nuts to remove gauge
glass. Replace broken gauge glass with new gauge
glass made of heavy-walled Pyrex. DO NOT USE
THIN GLASS TUBING.
Checking the relief valve
1. Manually open the safety valve once each year by pulling
the valve lever or handle and allowing a small amount of
steam to escape.
2. Be sure that the valve reseals properly and does not leak.
3. If the relief valve sticks or appears to be clogged, replace
immediately.
Automatic air vents
1. With the system filled with water, loosen the air vent cap
slowly so that particles of dirt or scale are not deposited on
the valve seat by the escaping air.
2. Should dirt or scale lodge on the valve seat, causing it to leak,
remove the cap and press the inner stem with a screwdriver
or other tool to permit water to flush the valve seat clean.
3. Release the stem quickly and replace the cap.
4. For normal operation and venting, unscrew the cap at least
two turns.
Troubleshooting — steam boiler priming
or foaming
1. Foaming or priming in a steam boiler can cause large quanti-
ties of water to pass into the steam mains, resulting in violent
fluctuations of water level in the gauge glass.
2. This trouble may be caused by dirt, oil, or other impurities in
the boiler water, too high a boiler water level, a high overload
on the boiler (i.e., the sudden release of boiler steam pressure
into the mains by action of fast operating valves), or the ad-
dition of too much boiler water treatment.
3. With serious foaming or priming, stop the burner and de-
crease boiler load.
4. Then alternately blowdown and slowly feed fresh water
several times.
5. If trouble persists, it may be necessary to skim the boiler one
or more times.
Troubleshooting —relief valve opens
frequently or weeps
1. Expansion tank may be water-logged in it closed type (air-
head type)
2. Bladder or diaphragm-type expansion tank may have punc-
tured membrane or may have incorrect charge pressure —
follow tank manufacturer's instruction to troubleshoot and
set charge pressure.

based on 1,000 Btu per cubic foot natural gas, specific gravity of 0.60.
Refer to burner manual for required pressure.
5. Gross I=B=R ratings have been determined under the I=B=R
provision governing forced draft boiler-burner units.
6. Based on average water temperature of 170°F in heat
distributing units.
7. Flue gas volume at outlet temperature.
8. Net I=B=R ratings are based on net installed radiation of
sufficient quantity for the requirements of the building.
Nothing need be added for normal piping and pick-up.
Water ratings are based on a piping and pick-up allowance
of 1.15.
Steam ratings are based on the following allowance of 1.288.
An additional allowance should be made for gravity hot water
systems or for unusual piping and pick-up loads.
Consult local Weil-McLain distributor/agent or sales office.

proper operation, but should be free of sludge or
sediment.
Long-term boiler shutdown
1. When the boiler and system must be drained for long-term
shutdown, perform the following procedures.
2. Turn off all power supplies to the boiler and its compo-
nents.
3. Close all fuel valves.
4. Cover the burner to protect it from dust and dampness.
5. Clean all carbon, rust, and other deposits from the fire-side
of the boiler heating surfaces in order to protect the boiler
from the corrosive action of combustion deposits. Follow
the procedure in this manual under " Cleaning boiler heat-
ing surfaces."
6. Apply a thin coating of oil or grease to heating surfaces if the
boiler is to remain out of service for an extended time.
7. Drain the boiler and system as necessary.
To inspect water side of boiler
1. If the water side of the boiler must be cleaned or inspected,
open the blowdown valve and drain the boiler.
2. Hose the inside of the boiler with high pressure water to
remove sludge and sediment. Then flush.
3. Dry the boiler water side thoroughly, or refill with fresh water
and heat to release dissolved gases, following the procedures
in this manual for filling the system.
Repeated draining and filling of the boiler and/
or the heating system can lead to the same conse-
quences as adding too much makeup water. This
is worst where the makeup water is hard.
Cleaning float-type low water cut-offs
1. Accumulated sediment in the low water cut-off should be
flushed out through a blow-off valve provided for this pur-
pose at least once each month of heating system operation.
Cleaning the gauge glass
1. Close the lower gauge glass cock and carefully open the pet-
cock below the glass to blow water and sediment out of the
gauge glass by steam pressure.
2. Then slowly open the lower gauge glass cock, allowing a small
amount of water to flush out through the open petcock.
3. Close the petcock and fully open the lower gauge cock.
4. The water level should immediately rise to its proper level.
Maintenance and troubleshooting (continued)
for service. Wiring errors can cause
improper operation.
Verify proper operation of the boiler
and system after servicing.
The boiler contains ceramic fiber
and fiberglass materials. Follow the
instructions on page 36.
Failure to comply with the above
could result in severe personal in-
jury, death or substantial property
damage.
t Inspect vent piping.
t Inspect relief valve.
t Water systems — inspect
automatic air vents (if used).
t Probe-type low water cut-off —
test by pressing the test button.

.OTE Boiler is supplied with a counterflange that must
be welded to a 20-inch diameter x 6-inch minimum
length adapter. The breeching can then be reduced
or increased to the size listed above.
.OTE Boiler is supplied with a flanged adapter, 22-inch
diameter, for connection to 22-inch diameter
breeching. Breeching size can be increased after
the adapter if required for the application.
.OTE Forced draft — Boiler, breeching and stub vent
operate at positive pressure. Entire system must be
gas-tight to prevent leaks. Stub vent height must be
limited to prevent negative draft with 3-foot minimum
stub vent height above roof, 15-foot minimum overall
height. See Figure 41 and Figure 42.
.OTE Balanced draft — Boiler operates with positive
pressure overfire. Chimney may provide excess
draft which may require a barometric draft
control installed and set to provide minimum
draft to maintain 0.1" positive pressure at flue
collar. Minimum chimney height above roof is 3
feet. Minimum overall height is 20 feet. For other
vent heights, use ASHRAE Guide for sizing. See
Figure 40 and Figure 42.

1. Side panel brackets are not required for boiler sizes 894 and
994. Skip to the next section. See the following for 1094
through 2594 boilers.
2. See Figure 27.
3. Larger boilers use multiple side panels, requiring splice chan-
nels as shown in Figure 27.
a. Each splice channel is attached to the brackets with four
screws as shown.
b. Boilers 1094 through 1894 require one set of splice chan-
nels. Boilers 1994 through 2594 require two sets.
4. The brackets that secure the splice channels mount to the
tie rod lugs as shown in Figure 27, using 5/8"-11 N.C. hex
nuts supplied.
a. Locate the brackets on the sections specified in Fig-
ure 26.
b. Brackets must be oriented as shown, with their edges
point at one another. DO NOT loosen the existing tie
1 inch.
c. Secure assembly to plate with 1⁄4" x 3⁄4" flat-head machine screws.
Cleanout and inspection tappings
1. If cleanout and inspection tappings were ordered, use 1½" brass coun-
tersunk plugs to plug openings.
2. If using "TI" sections, install tankless or storage heaters and gaskets, or
heater plates and gaskets. Use 3⁄8" cap screws.
Remove jacket parts from cartons and inspect
1. Locate jacket cartons.
2. Remove jacket parts from cartons as needed. Leave in cartons as long
as possible to avoid damage.
3. Inspect all parts before installing.
4. Jacket parts are in the boxes listed in Figure 25, page 21.
Prepare jacket panels for use
1. Determine from the control tapping table (Figure 10, page 12 or Fig-
ure 11, page 13) which of the knockout openings in the jacket panels
will be used.
2. To remove a knockout disc, bend one side inward until it can be
grasped with a pair of pliers; then, bend the disc back and forth until
it breaks loose.
The JACKET SIDE PANELS are reversible and can be placed
on either the left or right side of the boiler. If the boiler was
ordered with tankless coils (supplied with intermediate sec-
tions with tankless coil openings), the jacket side panels with
tankless coil knockouts must be properly positioned on the
right-hand side of the boiler ONLY.
