Notice Special Requirements

yFor recommended installation practice in Canada, refer to the latest version of CSA Standard B139 & B140.

yConcealed damage — If you discover damage to the burner or controls during unpacking, notify the carrier at once and file the appropriate claim.

yWhen contacting Beckett for service information

— Please record the burner serial number (and have available when calling or writing). You will find the serial number on the silver label located on the left rear of the burner. Refer to Figure 1.

Inspect/Prepare Installation Site

Chimney or vent

yInspect the chimney or vent, making sure it is properly sized and in good condition for use.

yFor those installations not requiring a chimney, such as through-the-wall vented appliances, fol- low the instructions given by the appliance and power venter (if used) manufacturers.

 

 

Adequate Combustion

 

! WARNING

 

and Ventilation Air Supply

 

 

Required

Failure to provide adequate air supply could se- riously affect the burner performance and result in damage to the equipment, asphyxiation, ex- plosion or fire hazards.

yThe burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not supplied with a reliable combustion air source.

yFollow the guidelines in the latest editions of the NFPA 31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing ad- equate air for combustion and ventilation.

Combustion air supply

See NFPA 31 Standard for complete details.

Appliance located in confined space

The confined space should have two (2) permanent openings: one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom of the enclosure. Each open- ing shall have a free area of not less than (1) one square inch per 1,000 BTU’s per hour of the total input rating of all appliances within the enclosure. The openings shall have free access to the build- ing interior, which should have adequate infiltration from the outside.

Exhaust fans and other air-using devices

Size air openings large enough to allow for all air- using devices in addition to the minimum area re- quired for combustion air. If there is any possibility of the equipment room developing negative pres- sure (because of exhaust fans or clothes dryers, for example), either pipe combustion air directly to the burner or provide a sealed enclosure for the burner and supply it with its own combustion air supply.

Direct air supply and sidewall venting

ySome AFG burners are equipped with combus- tion air boots to allow use of outside air for com- bustion.

yWhen sidewall venting appliances, carefully fol- low appliance and power venter instructions for installation and wiring.

!WARNING Follow the Outside Air Kit Instructions Exactly

Failure to comply could result in impaired com- bustion, appliance soot-up, puffback of smoke, and fire or asphyxiation hazards.

yDo not attempt to install outside air piping to the burner without using the outside air kit and in- structions.
