HV BOILER
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Take care not to damage the burners, pilot or
any other gas train components during this procedure. If
a component is damaged, it must be replaced!
Determine the best boiler location by following the instructions
in the
BOILER LOCATION
section of this manual. Remove the
front access panel and position the boiler in front of this location
leaving room behind the boiler to work. Tightly thread a 1 1/4"
elbow onto the close nipple in the supply pipe so the opening
faces the front of the boiler. Thread a 4' length of 11/4" pipe
into the elbow and carefully lift the front of the boiler. Slide a
3" thick brick or block under the first 1" of each boiler base
side panel. Make sure the boiler is steady and won’t shift to
the side. Remove the 4' length of pipe. Rotate the 1 1/4" elbow
so it’s opening faces the back of the boiler. Thread the 4' length
of pipe, or a shorter one if necessary, back into the elbow.
Place the special base behind the boiler. Using extreme care
lift the boiler up and slide the special base under the boiler.
CAUTION
:
Never lift the boiler by the jacket panels or
damage to the boiler may result!
Make sure that the special base support channels are squarely
under the boiler base side panels. Carfully slide the boiler and
base into position. Center the boiler from side to side and ensure
that the back of the burner base side panels are flush with the
back of the Special Base support channels. Install the front grill
supplied with the Special Base. Complete the boiler installation
in accordance with the instructions set forth in this manual.
COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OPTION
The HV boiler has been designed for use on non-combustible
floors only. If a HV boiler is to be installed on combustible
flooring of any type, it MUST be installed using the special base
designed by Hydrotherm.
Never use a substitute base when
installing this boiler on a combustible floor!
WARNING
:
Never install a HV boiler on combustible
flooring without using the special base specifically
designed for it by Hydrotherm. Do not alter in any way,
the special base supplied by Hydrotherm. Failure to
comply with this warning may result in a fire causing
extensive property damage, severe personal injury or
death!
To order the Special Base contact the nearest Hydrotherm
distributor and ask for the “Noncombustible Floor Pan” part
number referenced in the Replacement Parts List in back of
the IOM.
If the HV is being installed in an alcove or closet ensure that
the distances between the boiler and all combustible
construction are greater than or equal to the minimum
distances listed in
FIG. NO. 1
.
