Full Service on a Trianco Boiler with a Riello Burner

[@rodgraff1782]

38 years and never replaced electrodes?? I did oil from 1973 until 2006. I’ll have to admit, we didn’t have any of these burners with one piece electrodes, but on Lennox, Becket, Ray, Wayne, etc. I always replaced electrodes every service It’s just not worth having a delayed ignition . It’s nice to see an old timer who does a complete oil service. I used to get Wayne tune up kits, and replace everything, nozzle, buss bars, pump couplers, filters, strainers, etc. I charged 4 hours, and did two a day. Was using the old Bacharach combustion testing equipment back then, with the manual smoke pump and hour glass CO2 testers.

That is true on the burners you mentioned but I was referring to Riello burners when I said that. They run on DC voltage and just never seem to wear. Thanks for listening and commenting. I got into the trade in 1985.

This may sound dumb but what are the main things you should do during a service of this kind if boiler? clean something I assume

[@raymondrexinger3300]

Is there no need to clean the spot out of the bottom portion? How would you access that? I have a trianco boiler with a Beckett unit, with no access panels. Only from the top like in your video. Thanks

The only access to the combustion chamber is by removing the burner. This seldom needs to be done because of the extreme heat in the chamber. You may always have some debris in there. The flame should burn in suspension and not impinge on anything. If that is the case, let it go, it will be fine. If the chamber does need to be vacuumed out, let it cool down and be very carful not to damage the soft fiber chamber.

To run the motor for purging the pump, leave the control box off and jump 5 and 6. Assuming they're wired the same way as here in Ireland.
