INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The installation must conform to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1- latest edition.

This installation must also conform to the additional require- ments in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.

NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION

Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so that the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See Appen- dix A for vent terminal location restrictions.) The location should also be such that all boiler components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

WARNING

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION

REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) propane gas is heavier than air. Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves should NOT be installed in locations where propane leaking from defective equipment and piping will "pool" in a basement or other space below the leak.

A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignite the accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire. Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location should be as near the chimney as possible so that the flue pipe from boiler to chimney is short and direct.

The UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE may be in effect in your geographic area.

The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6:

"LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-burning appliances shall not be installed in a pit, basement or similar location where heavier-than-air-gas might collect. Appliances so fueled shall not be installed in an above- grade under-floor space or basement unless such loca- tion is provided with an approved means for removal of unburned gas."

Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE for design criteria of the "approved" means for removal of unburned gas.

BOILER FOUNDATION

A.Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at least 2" past the jacket on all sides. See dimensions of boilers, page 2.

B.For installation on non-combustible floors only*.

C.If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes or the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific requirements.

*Installation on combustible flooring allowed only with proper Com- bustible Floor Kit. Kit part number is printed on boiler rating plate. In no case may the boiler be installed on carpeting.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONS

A.Minimum clearances to the exterior surfaces of the boiler shall be as follows:

C.All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This may result in increased values of some minimum clear- ances in order to maintain the minimum clearances of others.

D.Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 1 inch**.

**At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling, the clearance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wall or ceiling boards may be not less than 1/2 inch. Each such opening shall be covered with a plate of uncombustible material.

VSPH-180, VSPH-60 specifications

Slant/Fin is a renowned name in the heating industry, renowned for its innovation, quality, and efficiency. Among its popular offerings are the VSPH-180 and VSPH-60, two highly efficient gas-fired residential boilers designed to provide reliable heating for homes.

The VSPH-180 is a high-efficiency residential boiler that delivers exceptional heating performance while being mindful of energy consumption. It operates at an impressive AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of up to 95%, meaning it uses 95% of the fuel burned for heating, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. The VSPH-180 features a durable stainless steel heat exchanger that not only contributes to its efficiency but also prolongs the boiler's lifespan.

On the other hand, the VSPH-60 is a slightly smaller but equally efficient model that is perfect for apartments or smaller homes. It also boasts a remarkable AFUE rating of up to 95%, ensuring cost-effective heating solutions. The compact design of the VSPH-60 allows for easy installation in various locations, making it a versatile choice for homeowners seeking space-saving options without compromising on performance.

One of the standout technologies in both models is the modulating gas valve, which adjusts the burner’s output to match the heating demand. This feature enhances energy efficiency by preventing the boiler from working harder than necessary, ensuring consistent temperatures and reducing wear on the unit. Furthermore, both models are equipped with a built-in electronic ignition system, eliminating the need for a pilot light and adding convenience for homeowners.

The VSPH series is designed with maintenance ease in mind.
