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.
