The FTXL gas manifold and controls
met safe lighting and other performance
criteria when the boiler underwent tests
specified in ANSI Z21.13 – latest edition.
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free
of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids and vapors can
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
Installation must comply with:
• Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,
regulations, and ordinances.
• National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition.
• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically
Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1, when required.
• National Electrical Code.
• For Canada only: B149.1 Installation Code, CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local codes.
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections should
leak, water damage will not occur. 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. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be
held responsible for water damage in connection with
this appliance, or any of its components.
3. Check area around the boiler. Remove any combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
4. The FTXL must be installed so that gas control system
components are protected from dripping or spraying
water or rain during operation or service.
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for
and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat
exchanger cracks from hard water deposits.
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
• Lack of freeze protection fluids in boiler water causing
system and boiler to freeze and leak.
• Debris left from existing piping, if not flushed and
cleaned with an appropriate cleaner.
6. Check around the boiler for any potential air contaminants
that could risk corrosion to the boiler or the boiler
combustion air supply (see Table 1A on page 10).
Prevent combustion air contamination. Remove any of
these contaminants from the boiler area.

WARNING
Provide clearances:
Clearances from combustible materials
1. Hot water pipes—at least 1/4" (6 mm) from combustible
materials.
2. Vent pipe – at least 1" (25 mm) from combustible materials.
3. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for other clearance
minimums.
Clearances for service access
1. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for recommended
service clearances. If you do not provide the minimum
clearances shown, it may not be possible to service the
boiler without removing it from the space.
This appliance requires a special venting
system. The vent connection to the appliance
must be made with the starter CPVC/
stainless steel pipe section provided with
the appliance. The field provided PVC vent
fittings must be cemented to the CPVC pipe
section. Use only the vent materials, primer
and cement specified in this manual to make
the vent connections. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fire, personal injury,
or death.
For closet and alcove installations as shown
in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2, CPVC or stainless
steel vent material must be used inside
the structure. The ventilating air openings
shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 are required
for this arrangement. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fire, personal injury,
or death.
