14 Installing the Boiler
2.2 Choosing an Installation
Location
When choosing an installation location, you
must ensure that the location provides adequate
clearance for the boiler, adequate venting and
drainage options, and sufficient access to gas,
water, and electrical supplies. Carefully consider
the following factors when choosing an installation
location:
Compliance Requirements
●
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,
CSA-B214-12 Installation code for hydronic
heating systems, and any local codes.
Access to Utilities
●
Water – the installation location should be near
where the domestic water supply enters the
building.
●
Gas – the installation location should be near
where the gas supply enters the building.
●
Electricity – the installation location should
be near where the electrical supply enters the
building.
Humidity and Contact with Water
When installing the boiler, avoid places with
excessive humidity. The boiler has electric gas
ignition components. Moisture can get inside
the boiler and damage the ignition system. The
boiler must be installed in a way to ensure that
the gas ignition system components are protected
from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
operation and service.
4. Remove the two pallet brackets.
5. Tighten the six screws into the original position.
CAUTION
Ensure that the screws have been retightened
so that the boiler can maintain a proper airtight
seal.
