I.  General Installation Requirements

1

 INSPECT 

SHIPMENT 

carefully for any signs of 

damage.  All equipment is carefully manufactured, 
inspected and packed.  Our responsibility ceases upon 
delivery of Boiler to the carrier in good condition.  Any 
claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be fi led 
immediately against the carrier by the consignee.  No 
claims for variances or shortages will be allowed by 
Boiler Manufacturer, unless presented within sixty (60) 
days after receipt of equipment.

 BOILER 

INSTALLATION 

must conform to the 

requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or in 
absence of such requirements to:

a.  “National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 obtainable 

from the American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson 
Blvd. Arlington (Rosslyn), VA   22209.

b.  When required by the authority having jurisdiction, 

the installation must conform to American Society 
of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls 
and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired boilers, 
No. CSD-1.

c.  The boiler must be electrically grounded in 

accordance with requirements of the authority 
having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such 
requirements, with the National Electrical Code, 
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

THESE GAS BOILERS ARE DESIGN 
CERTIFIED FOR INSTALLATION on an exterior 
wall of buildings constructed with combustible 
materials (wood framed walls with, paneling, drywall, 
plaster, etc.) or masonry walls (brick, stone, stucco, or 
cinder block).

4

 

DO NOT INSTALL ON CARPETING.  These gas 
boilers may be installed 

above

 carpeted areas.  Note:  

Protect carpeting or fl ooring to avoid possible damage 
during installation and maintenance procedures.

BOILER LOCATION MUST MEET THE 
FOLLOWING SITE REQUIREMENTS:
a.  The boiler must be mounted on a fl at wall, 

suffi ciently strong enough to carry the weight of 
the unit.  (See Figure 1).  Minimum acceptable wall 
construction would consist of 2” x 4” studding on 
24” centers.  Unit is designed for installation on 
16” centers.  Therefore, adequate supports must be 
added between existing studding.

b.  A suggested mounting height, where practical, is 

fi ve feet - six inches from fl oor to center line of 
intake air duct opening.  (See Figure 1).

 

NOTE:  depending on ceiling height, 6” combustible 
clearance height from jacket top panel to ceiling 
must be maintained.  (See Figure 3).

c.  Consider location of heating supply and return lines, 

gas supply line, cold water piping and expansion 
tank in selecting boiler location.

d.  Exterior wall surface must be fl at to ensure that wall 

fl ange can be mounted without being distorted and 
also provide a positive weather-tight seal to prevent 
water damage.

 

If exterior wall surface is not fl at (i.e., uneven 
masonry, stucco, aluminum siding, etc.) a fl at 
surface must be provided of equal size or larger than 
the exterior wall fl ange and vent terminal cover.

e.  Locate the vent terminal in relation to adjacent 

public walkways, adjacent buildings, operable 
windows and buildings, consistent with the National 
Fuel Gas Code Z223.1:  Minimum clearance of 
4 feet horizontally from and in no case above or 
below (unless four [4] foot horizontal distance is 
maintained), electric meters, gas meters, regulators 
and relay equipment.  At least 12” from any door, 
window or other building opening.  A minimum of 
12” above grade, 7” from any overhang, 18” from 
any side obstruction or wall and 3’ away from any 
adjacent building.  Increase minimum height above 
grade to maintain adequate clearance above average 
snow fall for geographical area in which unit is 
installed.  If the unit is to be vented over a public 
walkway, it must be at least 7” above grade.  If the 
vent terminal is to be within 10’ of a building fresh 
air intake, it must be at least 3’ above the opening.  
In addition, avoid venting the unit in corners, 
niches or areas which might have reduced fresh air 
circulation.  (See Figure 2).

Figure 2

f.  If boiler is to be installed above the level of the 

radiation, a low water cutoff must be installed.

 PROVIDE 

CLEARANCE 

between boiler jacket, 

mounting bracket and vent system and combustible 
material in accordance with local fi re ordinance.
