A. GENERAL
1. Series PBC™ boilers are intended for installation in an
area with a floor drain or in a suitable drain pan. Do
not install any boiler where leaks or relief valve
discharge will cause property damage.
2. The Series PBC™ boiler is not intended to support
external piping. All venting and other piping should
be supported independently of the boiler.
3. Install the boiler level to prevent condensate from
backing up inside the boiler.
4. Series PBC™ boilers are wall mounted.
B. UNPACKING THE UNIT
1. Items included inside of the boiler cabinet:
a. Two vent adapters
b. Miscellaneous parts kit
2. Remove external foam packaging and remove the
front panel from the unit. The unit can be easily lifted
out of the carton by gripping the bottom front edge of
the base panel and the inside of the front edge of the
top panel.
3. With the boiler flat on the back panel, remove the
right side panel to access the vent adapters and
miscellaneous kit. Remove these components.
4. Remove the internal packaging block behind
the gas valve.
5. The boiler can now be placed upright on a flat stable
surface for further pre-installation work.
C. MOUNTING
1. A wall mounting bracket kit (5636) is included for wall
mounting these boiler sizes.
2. Mount the bracket level on the wall using 5/16" lag
bolts. Be sure the lag bolts are fully supported by wall
studs or adequate wall structure.
3. The mounting bracket has (4) holes on 16" centers as
shown in Figure 2.1. This is intended to give installers
the ability to mount the bracket on two wall studs
spaced at this interval. If existing wall studs are spaced
differently or if the desired location is not in line with
the wall studs additional support is required.
4. Install the two ½"-13 by 4" bolts supplied with the
boiler into the weld nuts in the base of the unit. The
depth that these are threaded into the base can be
adjusted to assure the proper level of the boiler. Adjust
the bolts until the unit is tilted slightly off level to the
rear to aid in condensate draining.
5. Be sure that the wall provides adequate support for
the boiler.
6. Be sure to adequately support the boiler while
installing external piping or other connections.
7. Be sure that condensate piping is routed to a suitable
drain or condensate pump.
BOILER SET-UP
2. BOILER SET-UP
The wall mounting bracket is designed to support the
boiler. External piping for water, venting, air intake
and fuel supply is to be supported separately
WARNING
Figure 2.1: Wall Mounting Bracket
This boiler must be installed level to prevent
condensate from backing up inside the boiler.
CAUTION
Make sure the boiler wall bracket is adequately
supported. Do not install this bracket on dry wall
unless adequately supported by wall studs.
