Installation & Operation Manual
1 Determine boiler location
Installation must comply with:
•Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances.
•National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition.
•Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME
•National Electrical Code.
•For Canada only: B149.1 Installation Code, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local codes.
NOTICE | The SYNC gas manifold and controls | |
met safe lighting and other performance | ||
| ||
| criteria when the boiler underwent tests | |
| specified in ANSI Z21.13 – latest edition. |
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to: |
• System water piping |
• Venting connections |
WARNING
WARNING
This appliance is certified as an indoor appliance. Do not install the appliance outdoors or locate where the appliance will be exposed to freezing temperatures or to temperatures that exceed 100°F.
Do not install the appliance where the relative humidity may exceed 93%. Do not install the appliance where condensation may form on the inside or outside of the appliance, or where condensation may fall onto the appliance.
Failure to install the appliance indoors could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
This appliance requires a special venting system. Use only the vent materials, primer and cement specified in this manual to make the vent connections. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.
• Gas supply piping |
• Electrical power |
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections should |
leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations |
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable |
drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the |
appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air |
flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be |
held responsible for water damage in connection with |
this appliance, or any of its components. |
Closet and alcove installations
A closet is any room the boiler is installed in which is less than 778 cubic feet for SB1000 models, 847 cubic feet for SB1300 models, and 914 cubic feet for SB1500 models.
An alcove is any room which meets the criteria for a closet with the exception that it does not have a door.
Example: Room dimensions = 9 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 9 foot ceiling = 9 x 9 x 9 = 729 cubic feet. This would be considered a closet for a SYNC Boiler.
3. Check area around the boiler. Remove any combustible |
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids. |
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free WARNING of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
WARNING
For closet and alcove installations as shown in FIG.’s
4. The SYNC must be installed so that gas control system components are protected from dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger cracks from hard water deposits.
•
• Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system and boiler to freeze and leak.
Provide clearances:
Clearances from combustible materials
1.Hot water pipes – at least 1/4" (6 mm) from combustible materials.
2.Vent pipe – at least 1" (25 mm) from combustible materials.
3.See FIG.’s
