Installation
•
As Primary Boiler
Locate the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Boiler as close to the new or existing
chimney as possible. The ENERGY KING
heating appliance should be placed so that
you can easily complete operation and
maintenance procedures.
Locate the 24-V Wall Thermostat provided
with your ENERGY KING heating appliance
in the living area of the home. Your draft
system is controlled primarily by the wall
thermostat, so proper placement and
installation of the wall thermostat is crucial.
Strictly adhere to all requirements
pertaining to clearances to combustibles,
combustion air, venting system, draft
control, and thermostat installation.
•
As Add-On Boiler
The ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler is
designed to be used in conjunction with a
listed gas- or oil-fired boiler, but not all
boilers will accept an add-on application.
Some small boilers may not be used in an
add-on installation.
Before installing your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Boiler, consult your heating
contractor and local, state and national
building codes and regulations to determine
if your existing hydronic heating system is
compatible with the ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Boiler.
When using your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Boiler in an add-on application,
locate the ENERGY KING Wood/Coal
Boiler as close to the new or existing
chimney as possible, and as close to your
existing boiler as practical. However a
minimum clearance of 12-inches is required
between your existing boiler and your
ENERGY KING Wood/Coal Boiler.
Locate the 24-V Wall Thermostat provided
with your ENERGY KING heating appliance
in the living area of the home, near your
existing thermostat. Your draft system is
controlled primarily by the wall thermostat,
so proper placement and installation of the
wall thermostat is crucial.
