1.Add “PIN” for natural gas boiler - “PIL” for propane gas boiler.

2.Based on standard test procedures prescribed by the United States Department of Energy.

3.Net I=B=R ratings are based on net installed radiation of sufficient quantity for the requirements of the building and nothing need be added for normal piping and pickup. Ratings are based on a piping and pickup allowance

Notes

of 1.15. An additional allowance should be made for unusual piping and pickup loads.

4.CGi-4E boilers require special venting, consistent with Category I or III boiler. Use only the vent materials and methods specified in this manual. Vent diameter shown above is for direct exhaust venting. See Table 3, page 14, for vent diameter when chimney draft venting.

5.As an Energy Star Partner, Weil-McLain has determined that the CGi-4E meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

CGi-4E boilers for residential radiant panel systems, converted gravity heating systems or other low water temperature applications should be installed with balancing valves and bypass piping equal to the supply and return size to avoid excessive flue gas condensation due to lower operating water temperatures. For alternate piping, contact your Weil-McLain sales office. CSA design certified for installation on combustible flooring.

Tested for 50 psi working pressure.
