Installation & Operation Manual

1 Determine boiler location (continued)

When removing a boiler from existing common vent system:

￿ DANGER

Do not install the SYNC into a common

vent with any other appliance. This

 

 

will cause flue gas spillage or appliance

 

malfunction, resulting in possible severe

 

personal injury, death, or substantial

 

property damage.

￿WARNING Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide

emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.

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.

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

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

c.Test vent system – 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 dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

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

e.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 smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

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

g.Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. 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 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Remove boiler from wood pallet

1.After removing the outer shipping carton from the boiler, remove the parts package (packaged parts inside the jacket of the boiler).

2.To remove the boiler from the pallet:

a.Remove the front door of the boiler.

b.Remove the two lag bolts from the wood pallet inside the boiler (FIG. 1-3).

c.Detach the boiler from the lag bolts in the rear of the unit, see FIG. 1-3.

Do not drop the boiler or bump the jacket NOTICE on the floor or pallet. Damage to the boiler

can result.

Maintain minimum specified clearances for adequate operation. All installations must allow sufficient space for servicing the vent connections, water pipe connections, piping and other auxiliary equipment, as well as the appliance. The clearance labels on each appliance note the same service and combustible clearance requirements as shown in this manual.

Multiple appliances may be installed in a modular boiler installation. Multiple appliances may be installed side by side with no clearance between adjacent appliances because this appliance is approved for zero clearance from combustible surfaces and no service access is required from the sides.

Consult the Venting section of this manual for specific installation instructions for the appropriate type of venting system that you will be using.
