BEFORE YOU START
Check to be sure you have the right size boiler before
starting the installation. See rating and capacity table
on previous page. Also be sure the new boiler is or the
type of gas you are using. Check the rating plate on the
right side of the boiler.
You must see that the boiler is supplied with the correct
type of gas, fresh air for combustion, and a suitable
electrical supply. Also, the boiler must be connected
to a suitable venting system and an adequate piping
system. Finally, a thermostat, properly located, is
needed for control of the heating system. If you have
any doubts as to the various requirements, check with
local authorities and obtain professional help where
needed. Take the time to complete all of the steps for
SAFE and PROPER operation of the heating system.
If this boiler is installed in a building under
construction, special care must be taken to insure a
clean combustion air supply during the construction
process. Airborne particulates such as from drywall
dust and from fi berglass insulation can clog the
burner ports and cause incomplete combustion and
sooting.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction,
the installation must conform to Standard for Controls
and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers,
ANSI/ASME. CSD-1.
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 Z223.1 /NFPA 54.
KEEP BOILER AREA CLEAN AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
LOCATING THE BOILER
1. Select level location as centralized with piping
system, and as near chimney, as possible.
2. Place crated boiler at selected location, remove
crate by pulling crate sides from top and bottom
boards. Combustible fl oors: When boiler is to be
installed on a combustible fl oor, a Special Base
Plate must be used - 146-14-031 (2-6 Section) or
146-14-032 (7-9 Section). This boiler must not be
installed on carpeting.
3. Boiler is to be level. Metal shims may be used
under base legs for fi nal leveling.
4. Accessibility clearances. Maintain 18-inch
clearance on any side where passage is required
to access another side for cleaning, servicing,
inspection or replacement of any part that
may need attention. An 18-inch clearance is
recommended on the control side for servicing.
5. Equipment shall be installed in a location
in which the facilities for ventilation permit
satisfactory combustion of gas, proper venting,
and maintenance of ambient temperature at safe
limits under normal conditions of use. Equipment
shall be located so as not to interfere with proper
circulation of air. When normal infi ltration
does not provide the necessary air, outside air
shall be introduced (See Page 4 - “Fresh Air for
Combustion”).
6. Advise owner to keep air passages free of
obstructions. Ventilating and combustion air must
enter boiler room without restrictions.
7. The boiler shall be installed such that the
automatic gas ignition system components are
protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain,
etc.) during appliance operation and service
(circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).
