GAS SERVICE & PIPE CAPACITY

Before connecting the burner to the gas supply, insure that the gas pipes and service meter

are large enough to permit the additional load of the gas burner (see Chart 4).

Picture 2: DIE CAST FLANGE: (picture to the left)

Install the gasket and Die Cast flange to the boiler.

Tighten the bolts. Measure the boiler or furnace-mounting plate

to determine the flame tube insertion depth required and make a

mark on the tube (with a marker or screwdriver). Deduct ¼”

from the total length and tighten the flange on the flame tube with

the deducted insertion depth. The ¼” deduction will prevent the

tip of the flame tube from burning off. Slide the blast tube into

the boiler to the proper depth and tighten the two setscrews using

a 4 mm allen key. Seal off any free openings with either high

temperature cement or high temperature silicone.

Picture 2: BODY FLANGE: (picture to the left)

First, install the gasket and boiler flange to the boiler.

• For heat exchangers with a diamond stud pattern, one allen screw

on the flange should be on the top, slightly to the left of the 12

o’clock stud. The second screw should be on the right (slightly above

the 3 o’clock position stud). Tighten all the nuts equally. Make sure

that the allen screws are backed out, to allow enough clearance.

Then, insert the SU-2A gas burner into the boiler. Once the burner is

inserted and pushed all the way forward, tighten the allen screw on

the top of the flange. This screw MUST go into the grove that is on

the burner housing. Tighten the second allen screw, located on the

right side of the flange. This screw should be tight.

• For heat exchangers with a square stud pattern, move one of the

allen screws so that both are under the top two boiler studs. Tighten

the bolts and install the burner. Make sure the burner is straight and

tighten the allen screws.

• Seal off any free openings with either high

temperature cement or

high temperature silicone.
