CHAPTER 2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Chapter provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install
AERCO Benchmark Boiler Models BMK 750 and BMK 1000.
2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT
Each Benchmark Boiler System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weights for the
BMK 750 and BMK 1000 Models are approximately 1100 and 1200 pounds, respectively. The
unit must be moved with the proper rigging equipment for safety and to avoid equipment
damage. The unit should be completely inspected for evidence of shipping damage and
shipment completeness at the time of receipt from the carrier and before the bill of lading is
signed.
NOTE
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit has a Tip-
N-Tell indicator on the outside of the crate. This indicates if the unit has
been turned on its side during shipment. If the Tip-N-Tell indicator is
tripped, do not sign for the shipment. Note the information on the carrier’s
paperwork and request a freight claim and inspection by a claims adjuster
before proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials
should also be made clear to the delivering carrier.
2.3 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure when cutting away
packaging materials
After unpacking, closely inspect the unit to make sure there is no evidence of damage not
indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. Notify the freight carrier immediately if any damage is
detected.
The following accessories come standard with each unit and are either packed separately within
the unit’s shipping container or are factory installed on the unit:
• Pressure/Temperature Gauge
• ASME Pressure Relief Valve
• Condensate Drain Trap (part no. 24060)
• 1” Gas Supply Shutoff Valve
• Lifting Bar (with attaching hardware)
When optional accessories are ordered, they may be packed within the unit’s shipping
container, factory installed on the unit, or packed and shipped in a separate container. Any
standard or optional accessories shipped loose should be identified and stored in a safe place
until ready for installation or use.
