MACH® Series Gas-Fired Boiler Safety
Page 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The P-K MACH® Series
Gas-Fired Boilers are fully
modulating using a variable speed combustion blower,
sophisticated microprocessor controls, modulating gas
safety shut off / control valves and a unique aluminum
alloy heat exchanger capable of operating in a fully
condensing mode to provide maximum efficiency in a
minimum amount of space. The high-quality materials
and thoroughly tested design of the boiler should
provide years of trouble-free service if the instructions
in this manual are followed carefully.
This manual covers installation of P-K MACH Series
Boilers. The model numbers may be followed by a
prefix or suffix letter in some cases to indicate special
features or different options.
While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the
same for all models. Boilers may be built to operate
with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (propane).
Check the rating plate for correct fuel usage and gas
pressures.
The boiler is only a part of the complete heating
system. This boiler may be fully operational and yet
because of poor circulation, control, or other operating
characteristics, not deliver heat to the desired location.
Additional equipment such as temperature sensors,
pumps, flow switches, balancing valves, and check
valves will be required for satisfactory operation of
any system. Patterson-Kelley cannot be responsible
for the design or operation of such systems and a
qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
