GAS FIRED STEAM BOILERS

Information and specifications outlined in this manual in effect at the

time of printing of this manual.  Manufacturer  reserves the right to

discontinue, change specifications or system design at any time without 

notice and without incurring any obligation, whatsoever.

Introduction

Boiler is designed for use in closed heating systems where 

all steam is returned as condensate and make-up water is 

minimal. Boiler is not designed for or intended for use in 

open systems using 100% make-up water.

Prior to Installation

• Verify correct boiler for type of gas being used 

natural or propane. See Rating Plate.

• Verify boiler size and dimensions. See Figure 1 page 2. 
• Verify ratings and capacity data for natural gas. See 

Table 1 page 3.

Installation Requirements

• Supply boiler with correct gas (natural or propane), 

fresh air for combustion, and suitable electrical supply.

• Connect boiler to adequate venting and piping 

systems.

• Provide boiler with properly located and adjusted 

thermostat.

Installation of boiler in building under construction, use 

precaution to insure clean combustion air supply during 

construction process. Airborne particulate from construction 

materials can clog burner ports and cause incomplete 

combustion and sooting.
Complete all steps for safe and proper heating system 

operation.
