Clearances
A Provide combustion air/ventilation openings per Figure 24, page 22
or as otherwise directed in this manual or by applicable codes.
If the installation does not provide the minimum clearances,
then the enclosure MUST HAVE air openings located per Figure 2,
above. Each of these air openings must have free area of at least
1 square inch per 1,000 MBH of boiler input.
B Left side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
C Top of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12.0 inches minimum
D Right side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
E Bottom of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12 inches minimum
(must be 18 inches above floor for garage installations)
F Clearance in front of the boiler = 12.0 inches, but
36 inches mini-
mum required for service
H Vent pipe must be minimum 3/16 inch from combustibles. Opening
in combustible wall, floor, ceiling or roof must be 3/8” larger than
flue pipe diameter, fitted with galvanized steel thimble, or larger if
required by codes or as specified by vent pipe manufacturer.
ADDITIONAL service clearance may be
needed, depending on how piping is routed
to the boiler.
A Provide combustion air/ventilation openings per Figure 24, page 22 or
as otherwise directed in this manual or by applicable codes. NOTE: If
the installation does not provide the minimum clearances in this il-
lustration, then the enclosure must have air openings located and sized
per Figure 2.
