3.3.1 Foundation
and
Placement
Provide a firm, level foundation, preferably of concrete.
The wheels provided with this boiler are for positioning purposes only. When positioning
this boiler, maintain positive control of it at all times. Do not attempt to move the boiler on surfaces that are not
level. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Lifting the front of the boiler slightly will allow the boiler to be rolled off the shipping skid onto the concrete foundation.
Once in position, the wheel bolts may be removed allowing the wheels to recess up into the boiler. The base will sit
flat on the provided foundation. If the boiler is to be pulled out for maintenance, the wheels may be left attached.
3.3.2 Placement
The boiler must be level to function properly. There are six 9/16” holes in the base that may be used for 3/8” seismic
anchors.
3.3.3 Clearances
If the boiler is to be installed near combustible surfaces, the minimum clearances shown in the pictures and table
below must be maintained. Failure to provide for the service access clearances, even with non-combustible surfaces,
may cause future problems servicing the boiler. Maintain a clearance from the vent to combustible surfaces of 18” or
as specified in the vent manufacturer’s listed installation instructions. The boiler must be installed in a space large in
comparison to the boiler as described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.
