IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PLEASE READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY

This boiler has a limited warranty, a copy of which is printed on the back page of this manual.

All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler.

This equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the area where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction shall be consulted before installations are made.

Boiler should be positioned to provide minimum side clearances of 1”, minimum top clearance of 6”, minium front clearance of 2”, minimum rear and flue system clearances of 0” and minimum floor clearance of 6” between boiler surfaces and any combustible materials. (See Figure 3).

Boiler must also be positioned to provide minimum clearances between edge of vent terminal and exterior obstructions. Provide minimum overhang clearance of 7”, minimum above grade clearance of 12” and minimum side obstruction clearance of 18”. (See Figure 2).

In all cases, clearance between boiler jacket and vent system surfaces and combustible materials must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and local jurisdictions.

Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not place any obstruction in the boiler room that will hinder the flow of ventilating air.

Boiler must be installed with the vent/intake air system supplied as part of the unit, without alteration.

The wall thickness through which the unit may be installed must not exceed a minimum of 5” or a maximum of 15”.

a.Misc. Parts Carton — Part No. 6050301 (5” to 9” thick walls) — Standard

b.Misc. Parts Carton — Part No. 6050302 (9” to 15” thick walls) — Optional

The boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain etc.). during boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are operating properly when the installation is completed.

Service on this boiler should be undertaken only by trained and skilled personnel.

Post instructions near boiler for reference by owner and serviceman.

Maintain instructions in legible condition.

WARNING

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it.

a.Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

b.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

c.Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system.

Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

d.Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.

e.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

f.After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

g.Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
