state, provincial or local codes or regulations.
2. In Canada, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code
Part 1, and any local codes.

Thermostat
1. Connect thermostat as shown on wiring diagram
on boiler.
2. Install on inside wall away from influences of drafts,
hot or cold water pipes, lighting fixtures, television,
sunrays or fireplaces.
3. If thermostat has a heat anticipator, set heat
anticipator in thermostat to match power
requirements of equipment connected to it. If
connected directly to boiler, set for 0.1 amps plus
gas valve current. See information on the wiring
diagram shown in Figure 25b, page 39. For other
devices, refer to manufacturer’s specifications.
Wiring diagram on boiler gives setting for control
module and gas valve. Also see instructions with
thermostat.
Junction box (furnished)
1. Connect 120 VAC power wiring (Figure 20).
2. Fused disconnect or service switch (15 amp.
recommended) may be mounted on this box. For
those installations with local codes which prohibit
installation of fused disconnect or service switch on
boiler, install a 2 x 4 cover plate on the boiler
junction box and mount the service switch remotely
as required by the code.
Wiring multiple zones
Refer to zone valve manufacturer’s literature for wiring
and application. A separate transformer is required to
power zone valves. Zoning with circulators requires a
relay for each circulator.
Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1.
If rollout thermal fuse element wire as supplied with
boiler must be replaced, type 200 °C wire or equivalent
must be used. If other original wiring as supplied with
boiler must be replaced, use only type 105 °C wire or
equivalent.
Boiler must be electrically grounded as required by
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.
