It should be noted that after a Fulton boiler has been in operation for several months, pieces of burned metal
will be found in the space at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces of metal are the remains of a light gauge
metal form which was used during manufacture for forming the boiler insulation. This is normal and does not
affecttheefciencyorthelifeoftheboilerinanyway.

plates and clean-out door, use furnace cement to ensure a tight seal, thus preventing the
escape of hot gases.
