such requirements, installation must conform to
National Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
C. Appliance is design listed for installation on
combustible flooring and must not be installed on
carpeting.
D. Provide clearance between boiler jacket and
combustible material in accordance with authority
having jurisdiction. Minimum clearances outlined
in Figures 4-1 and 4-2.
E. Provide practical service clearances. Minimum
24" from left side and front jacket panels is
recommended for servicing.
F. Install on level floor. For basement installation
provide concrete base if floor is not level or if
water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
G. Protect gas ignition system components from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler
operation and service (circulator replacement,
condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).
H. Provide combustion and ventilation air in
accordance with the section
"Air for Combustion
and Ventilation,"
of the
National Fuel Gas Code
,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or applicable provisions of
local building codes.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided to assure proper combustion and
dilution air.
I. Do not install boiler where gasoline or other

areas near chemical products containing chlorine,
chloride based salts, chloro/fluorocarbons, paint
removers, cleaning solvent, and detergents.
J. Consider using boiler bypass described in
Section 6 "Water Piping" for systems which have
a large volume or excessive radiation where low
boiler water temperatures may be encountered.
K. Where required by authority having jurisdiction,
installation must conform to standard for Controls
and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
L. A hot water boiler installed above radiation level

• An external energy management system is installed that reduces the boiler water temperature as the
heating load decreases.
• This boiler is not used for any space heating.
• This boiler is part of a modular or multiple boiler system having a total input of 300,000 BTU/hr or greater.
• This boiler is equipped with a tankless coil.
