Fulton Edge ICX or FB-F Vertical Tubeless Boilers (Steam), Gas Fired - Manual (Page 41)

Description/Instructions
Boiler Installation
The Steam Supply — Pipe the
steam supply line from the top right
side of the boiler.
The Steam Safety Valve
1) Before installing, be sure that all
pipes and connections have been
blown clean. Pipe compound or
dope is used on external threads
only. Be sure inlet of valve is free of
any foreign material.
2) Do not use a pipe
wrench! When making
installation, use proper
type and size wrench.
3) The valve should be
installed in a vertical upright
position in the connection provided
on the top left side of the boiler
with no unnecessary inter-
vening pipe. Under no cir-
cumstances should there be
a shut off valve or restriction
of any kind between the
safety valve and the con-
nection provided.
4) Do not cap or plug drain
hole in the side of valve body.
5) Since the purpose of this
safety valve is to protect
against an overpressure situa-
tion, it will loudly discharge hot
steam in doing so. Therefore, it is
recommended that a discharge pipe
be securely installed and run to a
safe point of disposal.
6) When a discharge pipe is used,
it must be of a pipe size equal to or
greater than that of the valve outlet.
Use schedule 40 discharge pipe
only. Do not use schedule 80, extra
strong or double extra strong dis-
charge pipe or connections. It must
be as short and straight
as possible and so
arranged as to avoid undue
stress on the valve. It must
have an ample provision for drain-
ing condensate at or near the valve
outlet. It must terminate freely to
atmosphere with no intervening
valve of any description and it must
be securely anchored and supported.
The Steam Pressure Gauge
Assembly — The gauge should be
facing front towards the panel box
and/or operator of the boiler.
Except as noted, each assembly or
any of its component parts may be
oriented, other than as shown to
provide improved operating clear-
ances and/or view of gauge.
Before installing steam gauge on
the siphon, add a small amount of
water to the siphon to create a
water seal to buffer the gauge ele-
ment. This must be done to prevent
inaccurate pressure readings and
/or premature failure of the gauge.
Install the steam gauge into the
siphon on the water column.
