1.Outdoor installations, or unheated spaces, which can cause freezing.

2.Process heating of potable water, or any other fluids.

3.Un-pressurized, and gravity feed heating systems.

4.Heating systems with very low pressures or flow.

Improper use or installation will seriously damage the boiler, voiding warranty!

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 should take precedence over fire protection clearances. Table 1 lists the minimum clearances for servicing, however 24 in, 610 mm is recommended.

2.An optimum site will be level, central to the hot water piping system and close to an outside wall.

NOTE: This boiler is designed for direct placement on a combustible floor. Never install this boiler on carpeting!

3.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. The boiler location ambient temperature must be no less than 50°F, 10°C including the condensate line.

4.NEVER store objects on or around the boiler.

5.This boiler may be wall mounted. See the Wall Hung Conversion section listed in the table of contents.
