4.1 Boiler Location Considerations
• Ambient room temperature always maintain
above 32°F (0°C) to prevent freezing of liquid
condensate.
• Approved for installation in closets or alcove
provided it is correctly designed for that purpose
and minimum clearances are met.
• Protect gas ignition system components from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
operation and service (circulator replacement,
condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).
• Access to outdoors to meet minimum and
maximum pipe lengths for combustion air and
vent piping. See section 5.
• Disposal of condensate. See section 5.
• Drainage of water (or water - antifreeze solution)
during boiler service or from safety relief valve
discharge. See section 6.
• Access to system water piping, gas supply, and
electrical service. See sections 6, 7 and 8.
• Clearances to combustible materials and service
clearances. See Table 1 and Figures pg. 16.
• Room-sealed boiler installed in room containing
bath or shower shall be installed so person using
bath or shower cannot touch any electrical switch
or boiler control utilizing line voltage electricity.
• Multiple Boilers can be placed side by side, or
back to back.
• Observe service clearances in all installations.
• For Direct Vent installations, air vents are not
required in room boiler is installed in, or when
installed in closet or compartment.
• Requires fresh air intake piped from outdoors.
•
Install filter on air intake if boiler is installed in
dusty or dirty environment. A high flow air filter
with minimum air filtration of 800 CFM can be
placed on air intake section of vent pipe.
• Use of unregulated gas (well gas) is not
manufacturer recommended with this boiler.
4 - LOCATING BOILER
4.2 Floor Location
• Place crated boiler as close to selected location as
possible and uncrate boiler. Boiler may be moved
into position with appliance dolly or (2) two wheel
hand truck. Insert dolly or hand truck under left
hand side of boiler. It is possible to slide boiler for
short distance on smooth floor or surface.
• Adjust the position of the boiler, verify it is level
and plumb.
• Select level location central to piping systems
served and as close to vent and air intake
terminals as possible.
• Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e.
larger clearances) than required fire protection
clearances, shall be used for boiler installation.
Accessibility clearances may be achieved with the
use of removable walls or partitions.
• Boiler is approved for installation in closets and
on combustible floors. This boiler shall NOT be
installed on carpeting.
• Install equipment in location which facilitates
operation of venting and combustion air intake
piping systems as described in this manual.
• Advise owner to keep venting and combustion
air intake passages free of obstructions. Both
venting and combustion air intake piping systems
connected to outdoors must permit flow through
piping systems without restrictions for boiler
operation.
• Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of
flammable and combustible materials, vapors and
liquids.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Do not install boiler on combustible
flooring or carpeting. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious
injury.
!
WARNING
Fire, explosion, and asphyxiation hazard.
Improper installation could result in death or
serious injury. Read these instructions and
understand all requirements before beginning
installation.
