during storage. Surface rust is normal and does not affect the performance or longevity of a boiler.

All boilers must be installed in accordance with National, State and Local Plumbing, Heating

and Electrical Codes and the regulations of the serving utilities. These Codes and Regulations

may differ from this instruction manual. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted

before installations are made.

In all cases, reference should be made to the following Standards:

USA BOILERS

A. Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, “Installation of Oil

Burning Equipment”, for recommended installation practices.

B. Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 211, “Chimneys, Fireplaces,

Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances”, For Venting requirements.

C. Current Edition of American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME CSD-1, “Controls and

Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers”, for assembly and operations of controls

and safety devices.

D. All wiring on boilers installed in the USA shall be made in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and/or Local Regulations.
