Complete Prior To Installing Boiler
.
A. Verify you have selected the right size boiler with
proper capacity. AHRI rating of boiler selected
should be greater than or equal to calculated peak
heating load (heat loss) for building or area(s)
served by boiler and associated hot water heating
systems. See boiler rating and capacity table
previously listed in this manual. Any heat loss
calculations used should be based on approved
methods.
B. Boiler must be supplied with proper oil supply
and oil piping, suf
fi
cient fresh combustion air, and
suitable electrical supply.
C. Boiler must be connected to suitable venting system
and piping system adequate to distribute heating
load.
D. Properly locate and install thermostat for heating
system control.
Any doubts as to requirements, check with local authorities
and obtain professional help where needed. OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, FINAL CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS, and
MAINTENANCE sections in this manual are vital to the
proper and safe operation of the heating system.
1.
Place boiler in location centralized with the piping
system and as close to chimney as possible.
2.
Boiler must be level. If necessary use metal shims
beneath boiler’s feet.
3.
Use raised base if
fl
oor can become wet or damp.
4.
Maintain clearances for
fi
re safety as well as
servicing. 18” clearance must be maintained at
a side where passage is required for access to
another side for cleaning, servicing, inspection, or
replacement of any parts that normally may require
such attention. Boilers must be installed at least 6”
from combustible material on all sides and above.
Allow at least 24” front clearance for servicing.
5.
Fresh air for combustion must be available at front
of the boiler. Fresh air for ventilation must be
available to front
and
rear of boiler. Air passages
must be free of obstructions at all times. Ventilating
and combustion air must enter boiler room without
restrictions.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Do not install boiler on combustible
fl
ooring or carpeting. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
!
6.
Floor supporting boiler must be noncombustible and
suf
fi
ciently stable. If it is combustible, place boiler
on 2” concrete patio blocks or 2” Cladlite Pad™.
Blocks or pad must be under entire boiler to protect
the
fl
oor.
7.
Installation shall be in accordance with the
requirements of the local authorities having
jurisdiction. Compliance with these regulations is
required. In the absence of local codes, follow NFPA
31 Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, latest
revision.
