INTRODUCTION
This design complies with the current edition of the ANSI Z21.13
Compliance under this standard implies that when the boiler underwent test, the gas manifold and control assembly provided on the boiler met safe lighting and other performance criteria.
Detailed installation diagrams are found in this manual. These diagrams will serve to provide the installer a reference for the materials and methods of piping necessary. It is essential that all water, gas piping and wiring be installed as shown on the diagrams. You should thoroughly read and understand this manual before installation and/or operation of this boiler.
The factory warranty will be void if the boiler(s) have been improperly installed or operated.
In addition to these instructions, the boiler(s) shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the current editions, as follows:
In the United States:
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and the National Electric Code, NFPA 70.
In Canada:
Installation Code CAN/CSA B149.1 and Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IF THE BOILER HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO FLOODING, IT MUST BE REPLACED.
LIQUefied petroleum gas models
Boilers for propane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are different from natural gas models. A natural gas boiler will not function safely on LP gas and no attempt should be made to convert a boiler from natural gas to LP gas.
LP gas must be used with great caution. It is highly explosive and heavier than air. It collects first in the low areas making its odor difficult to detect at nose level. If LP gas is present or even suspected, do not attempt to find the cause yourself. Leave the building, leaving doors open to ventilate, then call your gas supplier or service agent. Keep area clear until a service call has been made.
At times you may not be able to smell an LP gas leak. One cause is odor fade, which is a loss of the chemical odorant that gives LP gas its distinctive smell. Another cause can be your physical condition, such as having a cold or diminishing sense of smell with age. For these reasons, the use of a propane gas detector is recommended.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE AN OUT OF GAS SITUATION, DO NOT TRY TO RELIGHT APPLIANCES YOURSELF. Call your local service agent. Only trained LP professionals should conduct the required safety checks in accordance with industry standards.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
This boiler must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and/or local codes. Correct wiring is imperative for proper operation.
This boiler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the boiler.
CORRECT GAS
MAKE SURE THE GAS ON WHICH THE BOILER WILL OPERATE IS THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE BOILER RATING PLATE. DO NOT INSTALL THE BOILER IF EQUIPPED FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAS — CONSULT YOUR SUPPLIER.
PRECAUTIONS
IF THE UNIT IS EXPOSED TO THE FOLLOWING, DO NOT OPERATE UNTIL ALL CORRECTIVE STEPS HAVE BEEN MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN:
1.EXPOSURE TO FIRE.
2.IF DAMAGED.
3.FIRING WITHOUT WATER.
4.SOOTING.
Rated inputs are suitable up to 2000 feet (610 m) elevation. Consult the factory for installation at altitudes over 2000 feet (610 m).
