Power Flame Model NVC burners are available with control systems to comply with the

requirements of Factory Mutual, GE GAP and any special state, municipal, local and utility

company codes, including New York City Department of Buildings (MEA), Commonwealth of

Massachusetts, State of Connecticut Fire Marshall, Illinois School Code and others.

2.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

The numerical suffix after the letters NVC denotes the burner frame size. The letter R inserted

immediately after the letters NVC denotes an inverted blower configuration.

The alphabetical designation immediately following the frame size indicates the fuel to be used:

G is gas only. The numbers following the fuel designation indicate the nominal size of the gas

train (30 = 3.0”).

Model NVC9-G-30

Fuel (gas)

Standard gas train size (3.0”)

Any alphabetical suffix (such as A, B, etc.) to the fuel designation denotes special product

coding (consult factory).

3.

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

Power Flame Model NVC burners are usually shipped as a unit with an integrally mounted, pre-

wired control panel. Gas train components may be pre-piped as an option or shipped loose for

field mounting.

Uncrate the burner carefully and check all parts received against the computer generated

Burner Specification Sheets supplied by Power Flame. Components not mounted on the burner

(shipped loose) are designated with an L in the left hand column on the sheets. Claims on

shortage or damage must be immediately filled with the carrier.

4.

WARRANTY AND SPARE PARTS INFORMATION

Power Flame offers a 15 month Limited Warranty on all components from the date of shipment

(see inside of back cover for details).

The Owners Information envelope packed with the burner contains a Warranty Registration

Card. The Warranty Registration Card is also a request form for a computer generated Spare

Parts List. An on-hand supply of spare parts is highly recommended in case of emergency

shutdown. The pre-addressed, postage paid Warranty Registration Card should be completed

and returned to Power Flame. In the event that the Warranty Registration Card is lost, please

contact Power Flame’s Customer Service Department in Parsons, Kansas or you may register

on-line through the Power Flame website (www.powerflame.com). All communications with the

factory will be handled more efficiently if the burner is identified by the burner model, serial and

job numbers. This information is stamped into the burner nameplate that is attached to the

integral control panel (or to the burner, when remote control panels are supplied).
