RECEIVING AND STORAGE
3.1.1 Initial Inspection
Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of
shipping damage. Since some damage may be hidden,
we recommend unpacking the boiler and removing the
top cover and inspecting the boiler.
Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the
packing slip agrees with those actually received.
Important: note any damage, suspected potential
damage, or shortage of materials on the freight bill
and immediately notify the carrier. File all claims
for shortage or damage with the carrier. Claims
for hidden damages must be filed with your carrier
within 7 days. The boiler carton is equipped with a
“Tip (N) Tell”. If "Tip (N) Tell” arrow point is
blue, that indicates that the package has been on its
side or tipped over in transit.
3.1.2 Storage Prior to Installation
If the boiler is not installed immediately, it must be
stored in a location adequately protected from the
weather, preferably indoors. If this is not possible,
then it should remain in the shipping container and be
covered by a tarpaulin or other waterproof covering.
Note: controls and other equipment that are
damaged or fail due to weather exposure are not
covered by warranty.

COMPLIANCE WITH CODES
The P-K MACH Series
Boiler with standard
components and with many options complies with
American National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI
Z21.13/CSA 4.9, latest edition, Gas-Fired Low
Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers.
The heat exchanger is constructed and stamped in
accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section IV for 50 psig maximum operating
pressure and/or 200º F maximum temperature.
Other codes or approvals which apply will be labeled
on the boiler.
Installation of the boiler must conform to all the
requirements of all national, state and local codes
established by the authorities having jurisdiction or,
in the absence of such requirements, in the U.S. to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
latest edition. In Canada, the equipment shall be
installed in accordance with the current Installation
Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment,
CAN/CGA-B.149, and applicable Provincial
Regulations for the class, which should be carefully
followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction
should be consulted before installations are made.
Where required by local codes, the installation must
conform to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ASME
CSD-1).
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (a) this unit
must be installed by a licensed pipe fitter / plumber,
(b) field installed gas cocks must be “T” handle type,
and (c) piping of condensate shall conform with the

SETUP
3.3.1 Foundation
Provide a firm, level foundation, preferably of
concrete.
Note: The boiler may be installed on a combustible
floor; however, the boiler must never be installed on
carpeting.

The boiler must be level to function properly. To
assist in leveling the boiler, the four (4) adjustable leg
