Determining Product Location
Before locating the ELITE check for conve- nient locations to:
-Domestic water supply piping
-Heating system piping
-Venting
-Gas or oil supply piping
-Electrical service
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of the ELITE is free of any combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
WARNING
Failure to remove or maintain the area free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids or vapors can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Ensure the ELITE and its controls are protect- ed from dripping or spraying water during nor- mal operation or service.
The ELITE should be installed in a location so that any water leaking from the tank or piping connections or relief valves will not cause damage to the area surrounding the unit or any lower floors in the structure.
-When such a location is unavoidable a suitable drain pan with adequate drainage should be placed under the unit. The drain pan must not restrict the flow of combustion air to the unit.
Boiler Replacement
If the ELITE is replacing an existing boiler / hot water heater system, the following items should be checked and corrected prior to instal- lation:
•Primary and domestic piping leaks and corrosion.
•Improper location and sizing of the expansion tank on the primary heating loop.
•Improper sizing of the thermal expan- sion tank (if used) on the domestic sup- ply line.
•Vent condition and sizing.
Recommended Clearances
The ELITE is approved for zero clearance to combustibles, excluding the vent hood and vent piping.
Vent hood and vent piping - 6 inches from combustible materials when using type “L” double wall vent.
Vent Piping - 18 inches from combustible materials when using single wall vent.
Primary and domestic hot water piping - 1 inch from combustible material.
