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 Figures 1A thru 1D.

1.LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney will be short and direct.

2.BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be installed on carpeting.

3.FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid elevated 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” clearance from front jacket panel for servicing and removal of front tankless heater (increase to 30" for #A54 heater). If boiler is equipped with a rear tankless heater, provide at least 24" service clearance on the right side of the boiler. Boiler

flueways may be cleaned either from the top or from the right side. Provide at least 24" clearance from either the right side of the boiler or the top of the boiler for cleaning flueways.

5.For minimum clearances to combustible materials. See Figure 2.

NOTICE

Clearance to venting is for single wall vent pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may be reduced to the minimum required by the vent pipe manufacturer.

Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)

NOTES:

1.Listed clearances comply with American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment.

2.V8 Series boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed

above. Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or closet installations.

3.For reduced clearances to combustible material, protection must be provided as described in the above ANSI/NFPA 31 standard.
