DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Steam Boilers: Shut down burners, relieve all pressure,
remove safety valve, pour into opening, and replace valve,
fire boiler. DO NOT DRAIN.
Hot Water System Boilers: require that all zone valving be
closed to isolate the boiler. Next, sufficient water must be
drained off to allow space to add the product. Reopen zone
valving before firing up system. Allow 3 (three) days of nor-
mal operation then draw off sediment through drain cock.
Note: Do not mix
scout - pour contents directly from can into
boiler.
Use full contents of one can for each 850 sq. ft. of boiler rat-
ing. For boilers over 8500 sq. ft., use one can for 1,250 sq. ft.
Conversions: 1 sq. ft. of steam = approx. 240 BTU
1 boiler H.P. = approx. 34,000 BTU = approx. 140 sq. ft.
1 can of
scout = 113 grams = approx. 4 ounces.
When cleaning very large boilers, or using bulk sizes of
scout, one can = 113 grams = 4 ounces. Thus if boiler
requires 20 cans, the equivalent would be 5 lbs. of
scout.
