1.Select a location which is level, central to the piping systems served and as close to the vent and air intake terminals as possible.

2.Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e. larger clearances) than required fire protection clearances, must be used for the boiler installation. Accessibility clearances may be achieved with the use of removable walls or partitions.

3.The boiler is approved for installation in closets and on combustible floors. This boiler shall NOT be installed on carpeting.

4.The clearances shown in Table 2 indicate required clearances per IAS listing. A minimum 1" clearance must be maintained between combustible construction and each of the left, top and back surfaces of the boiler. A minimum 8" clearance is required on the right side, to allow room for the inlet air pipe. An 18" clearance must be maintained at a side where passage is required to access another side for cleaning or servicing, inspection or replacement of any parts that normally may require such attention. Allow at least 24" at the front and left side and 8" at the top for servicing. No clearances are required to venting or combustion air intake piping.

5.Equipment shall be installed in a location which facilitates the operation of venting and combustion air intake piping systems as described in this manual.

6.Advise owner of boiler to keep venting and combustion air intake passages free of obstructions. both the venting and combustion air intake piping systems connected to the outdoors must permit flow through the piping systems without restrictions for the boiler to operate.

7.The boiler shall be installed such that the automatic gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

E.COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT PIPE REQUIREMENTS

This boiler requires a dedicated direct vent system. In a direct vent system, all air for combustionis taken directly from outside atmosphere, and all flue products are discharged to outside atmosphere.

Combustion air and vent pipe connections must terminate together in the same atmospheric pressure zone, either through the roof or sidewall (roof termination preferred). See Fig.9 & 10 for required clearances.

GAS-FIRED BOILERS specifications

Quantum gas-fired boilers represent a significant advancement in the realm of residential and commercial heating solutions. These innovative systems efficiently utilize natural gas to deliver consistent heating, catering to a wide range of climates and applications. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental concerns, the adoption of gas-fired boilers has gained momentum, making them a popular choice for heating needs.

One of the main features of Quantum gas-fired boilers is their impressive energy efficiency. Modern gas boilers are designed to achieve high efficiencies, often ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the majority of the energy consumed is converted into useful heat, significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. Their ability to operate at such high efficiencies is largely due to advanced condensing technology, which captures and reuses the heat from exhaust gases, thus maximizing the energy extracted from the fuel.

Moreover, Quantum gas-fired boilers are equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise temperature regulation. These systems can monitor changes in demand and adjust the operation of the boiler accordingly, ensuring that energy consumption is kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort. This not only promotes energy savings but also extends the lifespan of the appliance.

In addition to efficiency and control, modular design is another important characteristic of Quantum gas-fired boilers. Many models are available in compact sizes, making them suitable for diverse installation environments, including tight spaces and urban areas. Their versatility allows for installation in various configurations, including wall-mounted and floor-standing units, which can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of a heating system.

Moreover, modern Quantum gas-fired boilers come with features that enhance user experience and maintenance. Many incorporate built-in diagnostic tools that indicate potential issues before they become significant problems, facilitating timely interventions and reducing downtime. Some models even offer connectivity features, enabling remote monitoring and control through smartphone applications.

In summary, Quantum gas-fired boilers deliver exceptional energy efficiency and reliability, employing advanced technologies such as condensing methods and smart controls. Their modular design and user-friendly features make them an appealing choice for anyone seeking a high-performing heating solution. As the demand for sustainable and cost-effective heating solutions continues to rise, Quantum gas-fired boilers are poised to play a crucial role in meeting the world's heating needs.
