I. Pre-Installation
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage or personal injury.
DANGER
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.
NOTICE
Due to the low water content of the boiler, mis- sizing of the boiler with regard to the heating system load will result in excessive boiler cycling and accelerated component failure. Burnham DOES NOT warrant failures caused by
A.Inspect shipment carefully for any signs of damage. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of boiler to carrier in good condition. Any claim for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against carrier by consignee. No claims for variances or shortages will be allowed by Boiler Manufacturer, unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of equipment.
B.Installation must conform to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such requirements, installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/ CSA B149.1 Installation Codes. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME No.
C.Appliance is design certified for installation on combustible flooring. Boiler must not be installed on carpeting.
D.Provide clearance between boiler jacket and combustible material in accordance with local fire ordinance. See Figure 3 for minimum listed clearance to combustible material. Recommended service clearance is 24 inches from left side, right side, and
front. Additional clearance may be required on left side if optional tankless heater is installed. Service clearances may be reduced to minimum clearances to combustible materials.
E.Install boiler on level floor as close to chimney as possible. For basement installation provide a solid base, such as concrete, steel or masonry if floor is not level or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
F.Protect gas ignition system components from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).
G.Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance with applicable provisions of local building codes, or the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation; or CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Code.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided to assure proper combustion.
The following guideline is based on the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
1.Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms communicating directly with space (through openings not furnished with doors) are considered part of space.
Volume [ft³] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]
2.Determine Total Input of all appliances in space. Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).
3.Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total Input.
a.If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³ per 1,000 Btuh, space is considered an unconfined space.
b.If result is less than 50 ft³ per 1,000 Btuh, space is considered a confined space.
4.Determine building type. A building of unusually tight construction has the following characteristics:
a.Walls and ceiling exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or less with openings gasketed and sealed, and
b.
c.Caulking or sealants applied in joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between
