KN Series Gas-fired direct vent cast iron boilers – Field assembly instructions

Step 43 

Apply jacket rear insula-

tion

  Use of an approved dust 

respirator is strongly recom-

mended when handling the 

insulating components of the 

boiler.

1.  Press jacket rear insulation against the 

back of the rear panel.

Step 44 

Install jacket rear panel

  The jacket rear panel is sup-

plied with the igniter and 

conduit box installed.

  Leather gloves are recom-

mended when handling sheet 

metal components. They will 

reduce the possibility of cuts 

from sheet metal edges.

1.  Insert a screwdriver through the left 

center jacket mounting hole.

2.  Use the screwdriver to help align the 

mounting hole with the mounting 

boss on the rear section.

3.  Secure the jacket rear with the bolts 

provided.

4.  Apply the upper left bolt and the two 

lower bolts.

5.  The fourth jacket mounting hole is 

under the conduit box. Temporarily 

remove this box to install the bolt. 

Then re-install the box.
