3. All clearances between the boiler and the
enclosure must equal or exceed the minimum
stated in the clearance table on the Outline
Drawings.
4. Is there suffi cient space for servicing the boiler
and other equipment? A minimum of 36” front
and 36” top must be provided for service access to
the boiler. Any access door or panel must permit
removal of the largest component.
5. Are the ventilation and combustion air ope-
nings large enought and will they remain unob-
structed? If outside air is used, are the openings
set above the highest snow accumulation level?
(See Combustion and Ventilation section)
6. Ensure the fl oor structure will support the
weight of the boiler. Ensure any stairs, peda-
stles, and fl oors will support the weight of the
boiler, dolly, moving equipment and any personnel
moving the boiler.
7. Locate the boiler so that all system compo-
nents are protected from water damage during
operation or service.
8. In some applications, boilers may need to be
raised above the fl oor level to reduce the risk of
water damage.
9. If the boiler is installed in a residential garage,
it must be installed so the burner is located
higher than 18 inches above the fl oor. Also, the
boiler must be located or protected to avoid physi-
cal damage from impacts by vehicles.
10. Boilers must rest installed on sturdy, stable,
and level surfaces.
11. All boilers installed above the level of heat
emitters must have a low water cut-off device
installed. Refer to National, State or Local codes
for guidance.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances to combustible materials are
mandatory to assure protection from fi re hazard
during boiler operation. (Refer to the Standard for
the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31
-latest edition, for defi nitions of combustible and non-
combustible materials.)
Service clearances, which are typically greater, may
exceed fi re protection clearances. See Table 2.

WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT INSTALL THIS BOILER DIRECTLY ON
CARPETING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WAR-
NING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY,
DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS APPROVED FOR
INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING.
DO NOT INSTALL ON CARPET.
a) Location Considerations
Before the boiler is moved into place, be sure to
consider the following requirements:
1. Proximity to the chimney and available ven-
ting locations.
2. For a utility room or closet installation, the
entrance door must be wide enough to permit
the largest part of the boiler to pass through
the doorway or allow suffi cient clearance to
permit the replacement of another appliance,
e.g. a water heater, in the room and have enough
clearance for service on both sides and rear of the
boiler to permit installation and service access.
2.3 Codes & Regulations
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
equipment installed in violation of any code or regu-
lation.
Installation of this oil-fi red boiler must be perfor-
med by a qualifi ed installer in accordance with all lo-
cal codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Codes
and local utility requirements governing the instal-
lation of boiler equipment, wiring, plumbing and
fl ue connections must be adhered to. In the absence
of local governing codes, installation shall conform
to these instructions and to the regulations of the
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard for
the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31
- (most recent edition), and the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – (most recent edition)
The most recent edition of the American National
Standard NFPA 211, “Chimneys, fi re places, vents,
and solid fuel burning appliances” for venting requi-
rements and the most recent editions of American
Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME CSD-1,
“Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers,” for assembly and operation of controls and
sefety devices.
Reference should be made to the most recent edition
of the Canadian Standards Association CSAB139
“Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment” for
recommended installation porcedures in Canada.
A qualifi ed installer
, also referred to in this in-
struction manual as a “qualifi ed heating dealer”,
is
an individual, or agency, properly licensed and
experienced to install and service oil-burning
equipment in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
It is recommended that Manual J of the Air Condi-
tioning Contractors Association (ACCA) or A.R.I. 230
be followed in estimating heating requirements.
