Rapid Temperature Rise Advisory 6

Heatmaker – Heating-Only Type Boilers, such as Models H, EDP (Endurance), CB, and HWG (9600 Series) and Summit Boilers

Heatmaker.com is committed to providing you with information that can help you avoid mechanical malfunction before it becomes an issue.

Function:

This series has no built-in storage tank and requires a flow-limiting thermostat as its flow (supply). This limits the minimum temperature of the boiler to 150-160 degrees F and prevents the cold system return from creating condensation on the copper fin coils that would eventually foul them.

Note: Make sure that the boiler pump has been checked and is functioning properly.

Thermostat Locations:

  • H and EDP models have an automotive type thermostat located in a black ips-type union installed in the supply-to-system piping no more that 2 feet from the boiler
  • The 9600 series and Summits have a built-in thermostat accessible via a removable plate on the top jacket.

Typical Problems:

In normal operation upon ignition, boiler temp rises quickly to 150 to 160 degrees F and then settles there until the return temperature starts to rise.

Failures:

  • Type A:  The thermostat is stuck in the open position. The temperature rise upon ignition is very slow until returns start to heat-up.
  • Type B:  The thermostat fails to open. The temperature rises rapidly and the unit shuts down on its limit.

Replacement Thermostat Part Numbers:

Models H and EDP:  2400-030

Models CB and HWG, pre-1995:     2400-129

Models CB, HWG and Summit, post-1995:  2400-130
