GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS | Page 3 |
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
BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES
Before undertaking the installation of the GS110 check the boiler rating plate to ensure that the boiler is the proper size for the job. The "Net I=B=R Ratings" specify the equivalent amount of direct cast iron radiation that the boiler can handle under normal conditions.
Also ensure that the boiler has been set up for the type of gas available at the installation site. Other important considerations are the availability of an adequate electrical supply, fresh air for combustion and proximity a suitable outside wall.
BOILER LOCATION
WARNING: The clearances to combustible construction show in Figure 1 must be main- tained. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
CAUTION: Do not lift the boiler by the jacket. Use a hand truck under the base frame as shown in Figure 2.
1.Locate the boiler in an area that provides good access to the unit. Keep in mind that servicing may require the removal of jacket panels. Accessibility clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
Figure 1 - Clearances to Combustible Construction
2.An optimum site will be level, central to the hot water piping system, close to an outside wall and have adequate fresh air for combustion.
3.Ensure that the floor is structurally sound and will support the weight of the boiler.
NOTE: This boiler is designed for direct placement on a combustible floor. Never install this boiler on carpeting!
4.DO NOT install this boiler in a location that would subject any of the gas ignition components to direct contact with water or excessive moisture during operation or servicing.
5.NEVER store objects on or around the boiler.
WARNING: Never store combustible materials, gasoline or any product containing flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the boiler. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
