SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install
AERCO Benchmark Boilers.
2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT
Each Benchmark Boiler System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weight for these
BMK models is approximately as follows:
• BMK750: 1,100 lbs. (499 kg)
• BMK1000: 1,200 lbs. (544 kg)
• BMK1500/2000: 1,800 lbs. (817 kg).
• BMK2500/3000: 2,200 lbs. (1000 kg)
• BMK4000/5000N: 2,500 lbs. (1136 kg)
• BMK5000/6000: 3,530 lbs. (1601 kg)
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.
CAUTION!
While packaged in the shipping container, the unit must be moved by pallet jack or forklift
from the front only.
NOTE: AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit has A Tip-N-Tell
indicator on the outside of the crate, which 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, make a close inspection of the unit to ensure that there is no evidence of damage
not indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. The freight carrier should be notified 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 (P/N 24441)
• A 1”, 1-1/2” or 2” Natural Gas Supply Shutoff Valve, and a Propane Shutoff Valve on
Propane and Dual Fuel units
