Clearances
If the boiler is to be installed near combustible surfaces, the minimum clearances are shown in the
illustration below. Failure to provide adequate service clearances, even with non-combustible surfaces,
may present problems during routine maintenance of the boiler.
Maintain a clearance from the vent to
combustible surfaces of 18
” or as specified in the vent manufacturer’s listed installation instructions.
The boiler must be installed in a space large in comparison to the boiler as described in the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Latest Edition.
