1 Prevent combustion air contamination
WARNING
WARNING
If the boiler combustion air inlet is located in any area likely to cause contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, you must have the combustion air and vent
If the boiler combustion air inlet is located in a laundry room or pool facility, for example, these areas will always contain hazardous contaminants.
Table 1A Corrosive Contaminants and Sources
Products to avoid:
Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes/cleaners
Calcium chloride used for thawing
Sodium chloride used for water softening
Refrigerant leaks
Pool and laundry products and common household and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine compounds. When these chemicals pass through the boiler, they can form strong acids. The acid can eat through the boiler wall, causing serious damage and presenting a possible threat of flue gas spillage or boiler water leakage into the building.
Please read the information listed in Table 1A. If contaminating chemicals will be present near the location of the boiler combustion air inlet, have your installer pipe the boiler combustion air and vent to another location, per the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual.
Paint or varnish removers
Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers

Areas likely to have contaminants

WARNING
To prevent the potential of severe personal injury or death, check for areas and products listed in Table 1A before installing the boiler or air inlet piping.

•Relocate air inlet and vent terminations to other areas.
