GENERAL
The PB boiler-burner unit is a wet-base, vertical flue,
low pressure, sectional, cast iron steam or hot water
heating boiler. It is rated for natural draft firing with
-0.02" W.C. over the fire draft.
The ports between sections are provided with a special
hydronic seal which is resistant to petroleum products.
The flue gas seal between sections is accomplished by
the use of fiberglass rope rated at 1000 ° R
Packaged units are hydrostatically tested for the maxi-
mum working pressures.
An insulated metal jacket is furnished to both enhance
the units looks and to minimize any heat loss. A
full access cleanout cover for cleaning vertical flue
passages is on the left hand side of the boiler and is
accessible by removing the left hand cleanout access
jacket panel.
The PB boiler is offered in 2 different configurations:
1 - Packaged boiler with "burner in the box" shipped
separately.
2 - Packaged boiler with burner mounted and wired.
