INSPECTION

VICTORY II VHS MODELS

INSPECTION

Your boiler and heating system will last an indefinitely long time at full efficiency, if it is inspected regularly and is kept in good repair and adjustment. You, the user, should make regular inspections, and report any problems to your service agency. At regular intervals, you should have that agency inspect the system, clean the boiler and make repair adjustments as necessary. What you and the service agency should do is listed below. Contact your gas supplier for a list of qualified service and repair agencies.

USER INSPECTION

The user should make the following inspections at least once each month during the heating season and once just before cold weather starts:

1.Venting system inspection

A.Horizontal or vertical venting inspection

All Victory II boilers may be vented horizontally through an outside wall (see Figure 2), through the roof (see Figure 3) or vertically utilizing an existing chimney as a chase (see Figure 4). In all cases a 3" diameter AL29-4C* stainless steel venting material MUST be used.

Inspect the system regularly for condensation, corrosion and/or physical damage. A qualified professional should service the boiler annually and include such an inspection at that time. The homeowner should look over the system month- ly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust, other corrosion or separation of the flue (vent) and fittings.

Should an inspection turn up signs of condensa- tion, corrosion or damage, the boiler should be shut down immediately and the condition should be corrected by a qualified professional.

If the boiler is vented horizontally through the wall, the outside termination and screen should be checked for any debris blocking the opening and cleaned as required.

B.Chimney or Type “B” venting inspection

Only models VHS-90, VHS-120, VHS-150 and VHS-180 may be vented directly into a chimney with 5, 6, or 7 inch diameter standard metal smoke pipe (galvanized). See Figure 5. Make sure pipe joints are snug and are fastened with screws. The chimney joint should be filled with cement to pre- vent leakage. There should be no visible signs of rust or salts from water evaporation.
