I. Pre-Installation
A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage.
1.ALL EQUIPMENT is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.
2.ANY CLAIMS for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the carrier by the consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of goods.
B. LOCATE BOILER in front of final position before removing crate. See Figure 1. Boiler's approximate shipping weight is 325 pounds.
1.LOCATE so that vent pipe will be short and direct. Refer to Section V. A., General Venting Guidelines.
2.BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be installed on carpeting.
3.FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid base, such as concrete, if floor is not level, or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
4.PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least 24” at front of boiler for servicing.
5.For minimum clearances to combustible materials, see Figure 2.
C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY to accommodate proper combustion of oil. Local and national codes may apply and should be referenced.
1.In unconfined spaces (basement) in buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction, infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for combustion. An unconfined space is a space whose volume is greater than or equal to 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTUH of the combined input of all air consuming appliances in the space.
2.In a confined space, combustion air may be ducted directly from the outdoors to the burner. Refer to Section IV for installation of air intake duct to the burner.
D. VENTILATION AIR must be provided to maintain the ambient temperature at safe limits. Local and national codes may apply and should be referenced.
1.In unconfined spaces (basement) in buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction, infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for ventilation.
2.In confined spaces (closet, etc.) two permanent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom, shall be provided. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than 1 sq. inch per
1000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances in the space.
E. Do not install boiler where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.
