BOILER RATINGS AND CAPACITIES
→ The ratings marked "Net I=B=R Rating" indicate the amount of remaining heat input that can be used to heat the radiation or terminal units. The Net I=B=R Ratings shown are based on an allowance of 1.15 in accordance with the factors in the I=B=R Standard as published by The Hydronics Institute. New York City MEA Number 484-84-E-Vol. III.
Selection of boiler size should be based upon "Net I=B=R Rating" being equal to or greater than calculated heat loss of building. Consult manufacturer before selecting a boiler for installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.
These boilers must stand on a non-combustible floor. If installed on a combustible floor, a factory-approved combustible floor base must be used.
BOILERS FOR USE AT HIGH ALTITUDE
This boiler is factory equipped for use at altitudes of 0-2000 ft above sea level. For use at altitudes above 2000 ft above sea level, input ratings are reduced by a change in main burner orifice size.
→ U.S.A. OnlyÐFor altitudes above 2000 ft above sea level, input ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1000 ft above sea level. Consult the NFGC or the manufacturer for correct orifice sizing information. High-altitude orifices are available from boiler manufacturer.

INTRODUCTION
This boiler cannot be used with all types of chimneys. Read these instructions carefully before installing.
These Gas-Fired Hot Water Boilers are low-pressure, sectional cast iron boilers design certified by the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) and Canadian Gas Association (C.G.A.) for use with natural and propane gases. They are constructed and hydrostatically tested for a maximum working pressure of 50 psi in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (A.S.M.E.) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IV Standards for cast iron heating boilers.
Check to be sure boiler size is correct before starting installation. See rating and capacity table shown in Fig. 1. Also be sure new boiler is for the type of gas being used. Check rating plate on right side of boiler.
The boiler must be supplied with correct type of gas, fresh air for combustion, and a suitable electrical supply. Boiler must also be connected to a suitable venting system and an adequate piping system. Finally, a properly located thermostat is needed for control of heating system. If there are any doubts as to the various requirements, check with local authorities and obtain professional help where needed. Take time to complete all the steps for SAFE and PROPER operation of heating system.
→ If this boiler is installed in a building under construction, special care must be taken to insure a clean combustion air supply during the construction process. Airborne particulates such as from drywall dust and from fiberglass insulation can clog the burner ports and cause incomplete combustion and sooting.
Where required by authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
→ Before installing the boiler in the United States, refer to the current edition of the NFGC and the NFPA 90B. For copies of the NFGC and NFPA 90B, contact the National Fire Protection Association Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269; or for only the NFGC contact the American Gas Association, 400 N. Capitol St., N.W., Washington DC 20001.
→ Before installing the boiler in Canada, refer to the NSCNGPIC. For a copy of the NSCNGPIC, contact Standard Sales, CSA International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Etobicoke (Toronto), Ontario, M9W 1R3, Canada.
→ Installation must comply with regulations of serving gas supplier and local building, heating, plumbing or other codes in effect in the area in which installation is made. In absence of local building codes, installation must comply with NFGC in the United States and the NSCNGPIC in Canada.
The following steps are all necessary for proper installation and safe operation of boiler.
1. LOCATING THE BOILER
2. FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION
3. INSTALLATIONÐSYSTEM PIPING
4. CHIMNEY AND VENT PIPE CONNECTION

WARNING: Keep boiler area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to follow this warning could result in explosion, electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas supplier, or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use only factory-authorized and listed kits or accessories when modifying this product. Boilers with cast iron burners are not to be converted to propane. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.
