Boiler Assembly
The boiler must be completely assembled on the base angles supplied by Smith Boilers. The base angles are drilled and tapped to accommodate the lower jacket channels. Blocks of assembled sections are shipped on 6″ or 8″ channel iron from the factory.
Controls, Gauges and Piping Installations
Any controls or gauges to be located on the front face of boiler and the steam gauge glass MUST BE INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FRONT PANEL F1 IS IN POSITION, (FOR EASE OF ASSEMBLY). All other piping and control connections may be made prior to the jacket installation. Leave ample room to add and remove panels when necessary.
Burner Installation:
The burner can be installed first as long as the front panel F2 (H-1 CTN.) is
installed between the front section and the burner mounting plate (See Figure
1). Apply two coats of spray adhesive (X-1 CTN.) supplied with the boiler to
the rope grove on burner mounting plate. Allow time for the first coat to dry
before applying the second coat. When the second coat is tacky lay the 3/8
rope (X-1 CTN.) into the rope groove and press in place. Screw the (4) 7/16-14
x 2 1/2″ studs (X-1 CTN.) into the front section of the boiler. Next install
the burner mounting plate insulation block (CTN. #69645) in the burner opening
in the front section of the boiler. The notched observation port must be
situated on the top left side of burner opening. Position the F2 front jacket
panel over the four studs with the solid insulated panel on the bottom. Align
the four holes in the burner mounting plate with the 7/16″ studs and force the
insulation block inward until the studs extends far enough through the burner
mounting plate holes to mount the washers and 7/16-14 nuts (X-1 CTN.). When
completed tighten the four 7/16-14 nuts.
JACKET ASSEMBLY
Lower Channels
4 through 7 section boilers have one-piece lower channels (H-3 CTN.), 8
through 14 section boilers have two-piece lower channels (H-3 CTN.) and 15
through 18 section boilers have a three-piece lower channel per side (H-3
CTN.). The center lower channels for the 15 through 18 section boilers have
slots for mounting to the base angle only. Locate the lower channels and
layout along the outside of base angles so that the 5/16″ hole(s) on the ends
of the channels are to the front and back of the base angles. Mount the lower
channels through the slots to the tapped holes in the base angle with 1/4-20 x
1/2″ round head machine screws and washers. (H-1 Bag in H-1CTN. for 4 to 7
section boilers and additional hardware in H-3C Bag(s) in H-3 CNT. when
shipped with 8 to 18 section boilers).
Front Panel
Position the front panel F1 (H-1CTN.) over the front section and in front of
panel F2 and place over the lower channels so that the edges of the lower
channels are inside the side edges of the F1 panel and in front of the
retaining clip. Align holes in the F1 panel to the holes in the lower channels
(see Figure 2) and F2 and fasten with (15) hex head sheet metal screws
(Hardware in H-1Bag in H-1 CTN.). If the burner mounting plate is not
installed at this time you can fasten F2 to F1 before mounting to the lower
channels. REMEMBER TO INSTALL ALL CONTROLS AND GAUGES TO FRONT FACE OF BOILER
AT THIS TIME. Temporally support the front panel while installing upper
channels between the front and rear panels.
Rear Panel
Locate the rear panel B1 (H-1 CTN.) and place over the rear of lower channels
so that the edges of the lower channels are inside the side edges of the rear
panel and in front of the retaining clip (see Figure 2). Align holes in lower
channels and the rear panel and fasten with (2) hex head sheet metal screws
(H-1Bag). Temporally support the rear panel while installing the upper
channels between the front and rear panels.
UPPER CHANNELS
4 through 7 section boilers
Boilers from 4 through 7 sections have one piece upper channels (H-3 CTN.).
The upper channels are to be mounted between the top of the inside of the
front jacket panel and the top of the inside of the rear jacket panel. Align
the holes on the topside of Jacket panels with the weld nuts on the upper
channels and fasten with (8) 1/4-20 x 3/4″ slotted round head machine screws
and washers. (H-1 Bag).
8 through 18 section boilers
Boilers from 8 through 18 sections have two to three piece upper channels (H-3 CTN.). The channels are supported at their joints by splice angles (H-3 CTN.) and support brackets (H-3 CTN.), (see Figure 3). Align the upper channels on the floor with the 5/16″ holes on the flat side of channels to face the front and back of boiler. Align the holes in the splice angle to the hole on the inside of the upper channels. Assemble the upper channels on the floor with splice angles using (8) 1/4-20 x 1/2” round head machine screws, per joint, with nuts and washers (hand tighten only). Mount the upper channel assemblies between the front jacket panel and the rear panel. Align the holes on the topside of front and rear jacket panels with the weld nuts on upper channels and fasten with (8) 1/4-20 x 3/4″ slotted round head machine screws and washers. Line up the support brackets with splice angles and closest corresponding draw rods that will allow overlapping of the support bracket and the splice angle. Remove as many of the 1/4-20 machine screw as necessary from the inside edges of splice angle to fasten the support bracket. (H-1 Bag and H-3C Bag(s) in H-3 CTN.).
Important;
Loosen the nuts on draw rods to install the left and right support brackets
behind the washer on draw rods. Level upper channels and re-tighten draw rod
nuts immediately to 40 ft. lbs. on the left draw rods and to 125-ft. lbs. on
the right draw rods. Re-install the machine screws through the support bracket
splice angle and upper channels. On some size boilers the slots in the support
bracket used for mounting to the upper channels and splice angles might not
line up with all the holes in the upper channels and splice angles.
Side Panels
Install side panels by inserting the tops into the grooves in the top channels
first and then sliding the panels down into the groove made by the lower
channel. The solid LH panels (H-4-1 CTN.) go on the left-hand side. The RH
panels, (H-4-1 CTN. & H-4-2 CTN.), with the knockouts go on the right-hand
side in their corresponding locations (See Figure 4).
Top Panels
Lay out T top panels (H-2 CTN.), such that the knockouts and openings agree
with the assembled boiler. After lay out has been checked remove the necessary
knockouts and install panels. Fasten top panels to side rails using sheet
metal screws (2 to 4 per panel). The top panel T3 gets fastened to the inside
top of rear panel near large opening (See Figure 4). (Hardware in H-2-1 Bag in
H-2 CTNS.).
Knockout Covers.
Place necessary knockout cover plates over exposed areas; fasten with sheet
metal screws that are supplied. Cover plates go to F1, RH1, RH2, RH4, T1, T2,
and T3 (H-4-1 CNT. & H-4-2 CTN.). The knockout cover plate, F3 (H-1 CNT.), for
the front panel must be installed inside of the panel. Knockout cover plate
for the RH1 and the RH2 panels also fastens to the side of the F1 panel.
This completes the jacket assembly.
