Page 13

NOTE: 1. If boiler is not level condensate drain lines will not function properly. Adjustable feet are located on the boiler to make up for minor surface irregularities or tilt.

2.Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler to maintain drain pitch or to be above external condensate pump reservoir.

H.REMOVAL OF EXISTING BOILER FROM COMMON VENT SYSTEM

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

1.Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage. or restrictions, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3.Insofar as is practical, close all. building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryer and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhaust, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fire dampers.

4.Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliances will operate continuously.

5.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or the smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6.After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition of use.

7.Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Code, NFPA-54/ANSI -Z223.1-latest revision, or section 5 of CSA-B 149 for Canadian standards. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in part 11 in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA-54/ANSI- Z223.1-latest revision, or section 5 of CSA-B 149 for Canadian standards.

PLACING THE BOILER

The boiler should be placed to provide the most direct connections to the combustion air, vent and system piping as possible.

Place crated boiler as close to selected location as possible and uncrate boiler. The uncrated boiler may be moved into position with an appliance dolly or 2-wheel hand truck. The dolly or hand truck should be inserted under the left hand side of the boiler. It is possible to slide the boiler for a short distance on a smooth floor or surface.

NOTE: Refer to manual section “LOCATING THE BOILER” for required clearances for servic ing and maintenance.

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.
