2. Installation Considerations
EnergyLogic boilers are designed to operate reliably over a wide range of conditions. However,
it is important to read this section before installation to prevent unnecessary work or problems.
2.1 Technical Guidelines
1.
Most components of your boiler are factory-tested to ensure proper operation. Do not
tamper with factory settings or fittings. The settings on the triple aquastat may be
adjusted.
2.
Pre-assembled fittings are sealed with thread-locker sealant and do not require
additional tightening.
3.
Always supply power through a dedicated, hard-wired (copper only), 115VAC/60Hz
circuit with a 25 Amp maximum breaker. Check local codes.
4.
Do not use the provided thread-locker sealant on flare fittings. Use the provided
sealant on all NPT fuel line connections only.
5.
Do not use Teflon tape on any fuel connections. Loose strands may block small
orifices, affecting unit operation or may damage components.
6.
Route all fuel lines inside building to prevent exposure to cold weather. If this is not
practical, call EnergyLogic for application support.
7.
Locate boiler and tank in a dry area above 50°F (10°C) at all times.
8.
If not installing the pump to an EnergyLogic Tank, mount it according to guidelines in
the EnergyLogic Top Suction Kit packaging instructions.
9.
Do not kink copper tubing. Route tubing as straight and vertical as possible to avoid
air pockets.
10. Maximize vertical run of flue, and minimize horizontal run. Allow access for clean-out.
11. Do not allow your tank to run out of fuel. If the tank runs out of fuel, air and
contamination will be introduced into the fuel delivery system. An optional EnergyLogic
low-level cut off switch is recommended to prevent low fuel operation.
12. Never use compression fittings for fuel tubing connections, as they will leak and cause
the burner to shut down.
13. Care should be taken not to over tighten or cross thread brass fittings.
14. Applying a thin film of anti-seize compound to burner gasket may reduce gasket
sticking to vessel when servicing.
15. Another source of heat is recommended for periods when the boiler may be off-line for
maintenance or for any other reason.
