PREINSTALLATION
1. PREINSTALLATION
A. GENERAL
1. Peak boilers are supplied completely assembled as packaged
boilers. The package should be inspected for damage upon
receipt; any damage to the unit should be reported to the
shipping company and wholesaler. The boiler should be
stored in a clean, dry area.
2. Carefully read these instructions and be sure to understand
the function of all connections prior to beginning installation.
Contact your Representative for help in answering questions.
3. This boiler must be installed by a qualified contractor. The boiler
warranty may be voided if the boiler is not installed correctly.
4. A hot water boiler installed above radiation or as required by
the Authority having jurisdiction, must be provided with a
low water fuel cut-off device either as part of the boiler or at
the time of installation.
5. Peak boilers are capable of producing instantaneous
domestic hot water to the dwelling. Hot water over 125°F can
cause severe scald burns instantly. If utilizing the domestic
water production features of the unit, be sure to:
a. Install a temperature limiting device per the device
manufacturer’s instructions to reduce scald hazard.
b. Set the temperature limiting device to the lowest practical
temperature setting.
c. Always feel water before bathing or showering.
d. Do not leave children, the disabled, or the elderly
unattended while bathing.
e. Additional point of use temperature limiting devices may
be required at the fixtures to reduce scald hazard.
B. CODES & REGULATIONS
1. Installation and repairs are to be performed in strict
accordance with the requirements of state and local
regulating agencies and codes dealing with boiler and gas
appliance installation.
– Water temperatures over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly, or death from scalds.
– Children, the disabled, and the
elderly are at the highest risk of
being scalded.
– Feel water before bathing or showering.
– Read this manual in its entirety before setting
domestic hot water setpoint.
– A temperature limiting device (listed to ASSE 1070
or ASSE 1017) is required.
2. In the absence of local requirements the following should be
followed:
a. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV -
“Heating Boilers”
b. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VI -
“Recommended Rules for the Care and Operation of
Heating Boilers”
c. ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - “National Fuel Gas Code”
d. ANSI/NFPA 70 - “National Electrical Code”
e. ANSI/NFPA 211 - “Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances”
3. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and
Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME
CSD-1.
**Please read if installing in Massachusetts**
Massachusetts requires manufacturers of Side Wall Vented
boilers to provide the following information from the
Massachusetts code:
• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm
and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level
where the gas equipment is to be installed AND on each
additional level of the dwelling, building or structure
served by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled
equipment.
• In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gas
fueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an
attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with
alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next
adjacent floor level.
• Detector(s) must be installed by qualified licensed
professionals.
• APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS:
Each carbon monoxide detector shall comply with
NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS
certified.
• SIGNAGE: A metal or plastic identification plate shall be
permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at
a minimum height of eight (8) feet above grade directly
in line with the exhaust vent terminal for the horizontally
vented gas fueled heating appliance or equipment.
The sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half
(1/2) inch in size,
“GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW.
KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
WARNING
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas or Propane is heavier
than air and, in the event of a leak, may collect in low
areas such as basements or floor drains. The gas may
then ignite resulting in a fire or explosion.
