Can a Beckett burner Model AF that was run on a furnace be installed on a boiler. The control box has terminal F & F and T & T. How would it be wired for burner on and off. It is an old boiler pre flame retention.

There's a lot more to it than just attaching the burner. Air tube insertion has to be set, end cone has to be matched to the firing rate, etc. The wiring has to go thru the aquastat. This is something which should be done by someone with the training, knowledge, & test equipment to set the burner up for safe & efficient opperation.
