Location 

This boiler/water heater is for indoor installation only.

For

 

service access to the Burner control box, condensate drain “U” trap, and gas train, refer

to  the  clearances  indicated  on  the  boiler/water  heater  rating  plate.    Note  that  some
jurisdictions  may  have  their  own  clearance  requirements.    In  such  cases  refer  to  all
applicable local codes.

The boiler/water heater can be placed in a basement or utility room.  It should not be placed
in  an  unconditioned  area  where  the  unit  and  condensation  could  be  subject  to  freezing
temperatures.

For  reduced  installation  cost,  locate  the  boiler/water  heater  as  close  to  an  outside  wall  as
possible.

Flue gases can be vented out directly through a wall, or in case of retrofit installation, the
flue gas duct can be extended into the existing chimney

.

Keep  boiler/water  heater  area  clear  and  free  from  combustible  materials,  gasoline,
flammable vapors and liquids.

Ensure that inlet to the blower is kept  clear of any obstruction so that combustion air can
flow freely through to the air intake blower.

A resilient pad to separate the boiler/water heater from floor when the appliance is installed
directly on carpeting, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 in (76.2 mm) in any direction
or, if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the
panel.  The  panel  must  be  strong  enough  to  carry  the  weight  of  the  heater  when  full  of
water.

 Notes: 

Never install directly on carpet.

For  other than a direct vent  appliance, the appliance must be located
as close as practicable to a chimney or gas vent.

The appliance should be located in an area where leakage of the tank
or  connections  will  not  result  in  damage  to  the  area  adjacent  to  the
appliance  or  to  lower  floors  of  the  structure.  When  such  locations
cannot  be  avoided,  it  is  recommended  that  a  suitable  drain  pan,
adequately  drained,  be  installed  under  the  appliance.  The  pan  must
not restrict combustion air flow.
