Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series
3
All Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boilers must be properly sized to provide domestic hot water.
Use the water heater manufacturer's charts to determine the correct BTU requirements for
domestic hot water service.
Alternatively, the ‘K’ factor sizing method, which uses past energy consumption, based on the
efficiency of the old appliance and local weather data may also be used.
Replacement heating appliance installations should not use the existing appliance exclusively for
determining the size of the new appliance.
As previously noted, recent research indicates that existing installed appliances are often over-
sized, resulting in excessive energy consumption.
Receiving Shipment
Upon receipt of shipment, inspect all items and cartons for external damage. If external damage is
noted, open the item or carton and inspect for damage to equipment. Mark the number of items
received in this condition on the delivering carriers' waybill, and request the services of their
inspector.
If, upon opening the carton, concealed damage is found, open the entire shipment and note all
equipment so damaged. Contact the delivering carrier, not PNA, Inc., and request inspection of the
damaged equipment. Do not destroy the carton. The inspector from the freight company will need
this to determine the reason for the damage.
Normally claims for any damages should be filed with the freight company within 5 working days
after receipt of shipment. It is the responsibility of the consignee to file claim with the delivering
carrier for material received in a damaged condition.
Permission to return goods to PNA, Inc. must be authorized by us and are subject to a 15%
restocking charge.
Boiler Location
The boiler should be located on a dry, solid, non-combustible, level surface, preferably as close to
the chimney or venting inlet as possible, with a minimum of 90
°
vent elbows. Vent lengths over
10 ft. do not reflect good installation practice.
It is good practice however, to raise the boiler above the floor for service and piping.
Clearances for Service and Combustible Materials
Service access to the boiler must be adequate to provide access around the boiler for cleaning and
servicing. Consult local fire codes for required clearances.
The easier the service accesses the higher the quality of service the unit will receive.
Installers should follow the recommendations given in this manual, and make sure that they
comply with all local codes and NFPA31 and NFPA211.
