Install optional vent damper (if supplied)
If not installing a vent damper, proceed to next section (Piping connections).
Once a vent damper has been operated on an EGH boiler, the boiler will no longer operate without a damper installed.
Only dampers listed in the Replacement parts list in this Supplement are certified for use with EGH Series 4 boilers. Any other damper installed could cause severe personal injury or death.
Minimum clearances — Provide a minimum of 6" between the damper and any combustible material. (Provide a minimum of 46" between EGH jacket top and a combustible ceiling.)
Damper must be installed directly on top of draft hood so that it serves only that boiler. DO NOT modify draft hood or damper, or make another connection between draft hood and damper or boiler. This will void AGA/CGA certification and will not be covered by
Install damper directly on top of draft hood, with arrow pointing straight up. Install so the damper blade indicator is visible to the user. See Figure 2.
Screws or rivets used to secure the damper to the vent pipe and the draft hood must not interfere with rotation of the damper blade.
Install damper harness between damper actuator and knockout in right top of boiler jacket. Knock out opening in jacket top and install strain relief bushings in jacket
and actuator wiring openings. Insert wires and secure strain relief clamps. See Figure 6, 8, or 10 as applies.
Keep wiring harnesses clear of all hot surfaces.
