BEFORE INSTALLING THE BOILER

1.Boiler is equipped for residential installations. If used for commercial applications, any additional code requirements must be adhered to for installation. This may require additional controls including but not limited to a low water cut off, a manual reset high temperature limit, and wiring and/or piping modifications.

2.Before servicing boiler - allow boiler to cool. Shut off electricity and gas supply connected to boiler prior to servicing.

3.Inspect gas line for leaks.

4.Verify gas input rate is correct. Over firing may result in early failure of boiler sections. This may cause dangerous operation. Under firing may result in too much air for pre-mix burner causing poor or loss of combustion.

5.Never vent products of combustion from this boiler to enclosed space. Always vent to outdoors. Never vent to another room or to inside building.

6.Be sure there is adequate outdoor air supply to boiler for complete combustion.

7.Follow regular service and maintenance schedule for efficient and safe operation.

8.Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of combustible and flammable materials.

9.Proper through wall or through roof combustion venting shall be in accordance with materials and methods described in this manual. Installation must comply with local codes.

10.Boiler and related hot water heating systems are not do it yourself items they must be installed and serviced by qualified professionals.

Boiler Sizing

Check to be sure you have selected boiler with proper capacity before starting installation. AHRI Rating of boiler selected should be greater than or equal to calculated peak heating load (heat loss) for building or area(s) served by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. See Table 1, Page 5.

Heat loss calculations should be based on approved industry methods.

Boiler Location Considerations

Before selecting boiler location consider following.

•Supplied with correct type of gas (natural gas or propane).

•Connected to suitable combustion air intake piping system to supply correct amounts of fresh (outdoor) air for combustion, refer to “Combustion Air and Vent Pipe” on page 22 for details.

•Connected to a suitable venting system to remove the hazardous products of gas combustion, refer to “Combustion Air and Vent Pipe” on page 22 for details.

•Connected to a suitable hot water heating system.

•Supplied with a suitable electrical supply for all boiler motors and controls.

•Connected to a properly located thermostat or operating control. Not included with boiler.

•Placed on level surface. DO NOT install on carpeting.

•Condensate drain line must be pitched down to floor drain or external condensate pump with reservoir at ¼” per foot (wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler).
