Modu-Fire®Gas-Fired Boiler

3.0INSTALLATION

3.1RECEIVING AND STORAGE

3.1.1 Initial Inspection

Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of ship- ping damage. Pay particular attention to the control panel on the top of the boiler and the components mounted on the back, which may show damage from mishandling.

The exterior cabinet must be reasonably air-tight for the burner to operate correctly. Leaks caused by dents in the sheet metal or panels out of position may cause the limit controls to show Low Air. Check to be sure that the mixer core in the top burner is centered and has not moved in shipment; (see Section 5.2, "Clean- ing the Burner" for proper location). Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the packing slip agrees with those actually received.

Important: Note any damage or shortage on the freight bill and immediately notify the carrier. File all claims for shortage or damage with the carrier.

3.1.2 Storage Prior to Installation

If the boiler is not installed immediately, it must be stored in a location adequately protected from the weather, preferably indoors. If this is not possible, then it should remain in the shipping container and be covered by a tarpaulin or other waterproof covering.

Note: Controls and other equipment that are damaged or fail due to weather exposure are not covered by warranty.

3.2COMPLIANCE WITH CODES

The P-K MODU-FIRE®Boiler with standard compo- nents and many options complies with American Na- tional Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9, latest edition, Gas-Fired Low Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers. The heat exchanger is constructed and stamped in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pres- sure Vessel Code, Section IV for 160 psig maximum operating pressure and/or 250º F maximum operating

temperature. Other codes or approvals which apply will be labeled on the boiler.

Installation of the boiler must conform to all the re- quirements of all national, state and local codes estab- lished by the authorities having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, in the U.S. to the Na- tional Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest edition. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CAN/CGA- B.149, and applicable Provincial Regulations for the class, which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.

Where required by local codes, the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ASME CSD-1).

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (a) this unit must be installed by a licensed pipe fitter / plumber,

(b)field installed gas cocks must be "T" handle type, and (c) piping of condensate shall conform with the State Plumbing Code.

3.3SETUP

3.3.1 Foundation

Provide a firm, level foundation, preferably of con- crete.

Note: The boiler may be installed on a combustible floor; however, the boiler must never be installed on carpeting.

3.3.2 Placement

The boiler must be level to function properly. To as- sist in leveling the boiler, the four (4) leg bolts (1/2"- NC) holding the boiler to the shipping skid must be reinstalled in the threaded legs on the bottom. The adjustable legs are also necessary to provide adequate floor clearance and prevent distortion on the cabinet, (twisting, etc.) in addition to leveling.
