INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation must conform to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1- latest edition.
This installation must also conform to the additional require-
ments in this Slant/Fin instruction book.
NATURAL GAS FIRED BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so that the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See Appendix B for vent terminal location restrictions.)
The location should also be such that the gas ignition sys- tem components are protected from water (dripping, spray- ing, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circu- lator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUMWARNING(L.P.) PROPANE FIRED GAS BOILER LOCATION
REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) propane gas is heavier than air. Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves must NOT be installed in locations where propane leaking from defective equipment and piping will "pool" in a basement or other space below the leak.
A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignite the accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire. Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location

The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL"LPG AppliancesCODE,. section 304.6:
Liquefied petroleum
Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE for design criteria of the "approved" means for
removal of unburned gas.
BOILER FOUNDATION
A.Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at least 2" past the jacket on all sides. See dimensions of boilers, page 2.
B.For installation on
C.If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes or the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific requirements.
*Installation on combustible flooring allowed only with proper Com- bustible Floor Kit. Kit part number is printed on boiler rating plate. In no case may the boiler be installed on carpeting.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONS
A.Minimum boiler clearances shall be as follows:
VICTORY BOILER
MINIMUM CLEARANCE FOR COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUC- TION.
MINIMUM ALCOVE AND CLOSET CLEARANCE.
Front | 6" |
Rear | 6" |
Left Side | 6" |
Right Side | 12" |
Top (above boiler) | 12" |
Flue Connector | 6" |
B.Provide accessibility clearance of 24" on sides requiring servicing and 18" on sides used for passage.
C.All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This may result in increased values of some minimum clear- ances in order to maintain the minimum clearances of others.
D.Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 1 inch**.
**At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling, the clearance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wall or ceiling boards may
be not less than 1/2 inch. Each such opening shall be SAFETYcovered with a plate of uncombustible material.
KEEP THE BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Victory series boiler is a high efficiency, mechanically induced draft boiler and, therefore, requires different venting arrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency boilers.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY HAZ- ARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLA- TION OF THE FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEM.
The vent piping installation MUST be in accordance with these instructions and with ANSI
If this boiler is replacing a boiler which is connected to a common venting system with other natural draft, gas fired appliances, the removal of the existing boiler from the vent- ing system is likely to cause the system to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it. At the time of removal of the existing boiler, the test proce- dure specified in Appendix "A" must be followed.
Figure 5 shows the models, vent sizes, conditions and requirements for different types of venting.
The use of a vent damper is NOT permitted on this boiler series.
