2. Other manufacturer(s) or other Weil-McLain boiler(s) must comply with
specifying engineer’s requirements, including:
a) Full intent of these specifications, and provide complete submittal
including literature, wiring diagrams, fuel piping diagrams, and a list of
similar installations.
b) Submittal to be presented to specifying engineer at least seven working
days for approval before bid opening. Substitutions are not permitted after
contract is awarded.
c) Burner(s) and Energy Management Control System(s) must be tested
and approved for installation with specified boiler by boiler manufacturer.
B. Boiler construction
• Boiler sections
• Assembled with short, individual draw rods.
• Cast with sealing grooves for high temperature sealing rope to assure
permanent gas-tight seal.
• Sealed water-tight by elastomer sealing rings, not cast iron nipples. Each port
opening is machined to completely capture sealing ring between sections.
• Must be hydro-wall design to provide completely water-cooled combustion
chamber.
• Provided with sufficient tappings to install required controls.
• Limited 10 year warranty against workmanship and defects to be in writing by
manufacturer.
C. Boiler(s)
• Provided with cast-in air elimination to separate air from circulating water.
• Provided with expansion tank tapping to divert separated air to expansion tank.
• Constructed to provide balanced water flow through entire section assembly
using single supply and return connections for water. No external headers are
necessary for water. Steam requires an
external header 24” minimum from the
waterline to the bottom of the header.
• Designed with a low silhouette to provide maximum headroom.
• Furnished with insulated burner mounting plate having necessary holes and
tappings to mount burner. High temperature sealing rope is used to provide
permanent gas-tight seal between front section and plate.
• Furnished with two observation ports (one in front and one in back) to allow
visual inspection of the flame.
• Provided with cast iron flue collar with a built-in adjustable damper capable of
being locked into place after adjustment.
• High temperature sealing rope used to provide permanent gas-tight seal
between hood and section assembly.
• Furnished with cast iron cleanout plates to cover cleanout openings on the
front of the boiler(s).
• Elastomer sealing rings are to be used to provide permanent water-tight seal
between sections. Unlike cast iron or steel push nipples, the elasticity of the
seals fills any gaps caused by misalignment or expansion or contraction.
