BOILER INSTALLATION

Condensate Drain Requirements

•Pitch condensate drain line down to floor drain at mini- mum of ¼” per foot. External condensate pump (not furnished) may be used if floor drain is not available.

•Condensate pump must be designed for flue gas con- densate application.

•Condensate trap provided with boiler, an additional trap is not required and should not be used.

•Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler to maintain drain pitch or to be above external condensate pump reservoir.

Foundation Requirements

• Install boiler on level surface.

!WARNING

Fire hazard. Do not install boiler on carpeting. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

•Boiler is NOT to be installed on carpeting.

•If boiler is not level condensate drain lines will not function properly. Adjustable feet are located on the boiler to make up for minor surface irregularities or tilt.

•Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler to maintain drain pitch or to be above external condensate pump reservoir.

Removal of Existing Boiler From Common Vent System

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. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

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

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

3.In-so-far 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 dryer and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhaust, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fire dampers.

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

5.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 the smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6.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, fire place dampers, and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition of use.

7.Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Code, NFPA-54/ANSI -Z223.1 and/ or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.. When re-sizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be re-sized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Chapter 13 of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA-54/ANSI- Z223.1 and/or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.
