This boiler has a condensate disposal system that may freeze if
exposed to sustained temperatures below 32
o
F. Precautions should
be taken to protect the condensate trap and drain lines from
sustained freezing conditions. Failure to take precautions could
result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

This boiler is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL
OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure to install the boiler indoors could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
A. Locating the Boiler
1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
• Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32
o
F / 0
o
C and
lower than 104
o
F / 40
o
C
• Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by the products,
places, and conditions listed in this manual
• Avoid continuously high levels of humidity
• Never close existing ventilation openings
• Ensure a minimum 1” clearance around hot water and exhaust
vent pipes
• NOTE: To prevent condensing in the fan, it is recommended to
avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 45
o

Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating
system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation
location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure
to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or
death. Failure of boiler or components due to incorrect operating
conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
2. Check for nearby connections to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
• Condensate drain
3. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
Failure to keep the boiler area clear and free of combustible materials,
liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as
the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat exchanger,
are directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine
environments. In such areas higher concentration levels of
chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead
to degradation of boiler components. In these environments,
boilers must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw
outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed using
room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative
humidity, and hence potential corrosion will be minimized.
High heat sources (generating heat 100
o
F / 37
o
C or greater, such
as boiler flue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic
components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipe materials.
Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended
to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources.
Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local,
state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and
ordinances when installing this boiler and related components
near high heat sources.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping
water during operation and service.
5. If the boiler is to replace an existing boiler, check for and correct
any existing system problems, such as:
• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and boiler to freeze
and leak
• Incorrectly sized expansion tank
6. Clean and flush system when reinstalling a boiler.
NOTE:
When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be
possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended
to make note of the boiler model and serial number.
NOTE:
A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front
clearance.
Failure of the boiler or components due to incorrect operating
conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
C. Leveling
In order for the condensate to properly flow out of the collection
system, the area where you locate the boiler must be level.
Location must also fully support the weight of the filled boiler.
Assure that the structure of the installation location is sufficient
to support the full installed weight of the boiler, including water
content of the heat exchanger and related piping. Failure to ensure
the structure of the installation location is structurally sound
before installation of the boiler can result in structural failure,
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
B. Structure
D. Clearances for Service Access
NOTE:
If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in
Figure 3 it might not be possible to service the boiler without
removing it from the space.
This boiler must be installed upright in the vertical position as
described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this boiler
in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper boiler
operation and property damage, and could result in serious
personal injury or death.
