3.0INSTALLATION

3.1RECEIVING AND STORAGE

3.1.1 Initial Inspection

Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of shipping damage. Since some damage may be hidden, we recommend unpacking the boiler and removing the top cover and inspecting the boiler.

Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the packing slip agrees with those actually received.

Important: note any damage, suspected potential damage, or shortage of materials on the freight bill and immediately notify the carrier. File all claims for shortage or damage with the carrier. Claims for hidden damages must be filed with your carrier within 7 days. The boiler carton is equipped with a “Tip (N) Tell”. If "Tip (N) Tell” arrow point is blue, that indicates that the package has been on its side or tipped over in transit.

3.1.2 Storage Prior to Installation

If the boiler is not installed immediately, it must be stored in a location adequately protected from the weather, preferably indoors. If this is not possible, then it should remain in the shipping container and be covered by a tarpaulin or other waterproof covering.

Note: controls and other equipment that are damaged or fail due to weather exposure are not covered by warranty.

Code, Section IV for 50 psig maximum operating pressure and/or 200º F maximum temperature.

Other codes or approvals which apply will be labeled on the boiler.

Installation of the boiler must conform to all the requirements of all national, state and local codes established by the authorities having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, in the U.S. to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest edition. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CAN/CGA-B.149, and applicable Provincial Regulations for the class, which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
