Determining Product Location
The PRESTIGE boiler is certified for
indoor, conditioned space installations
ONLY.
Before locating the PRESTIGE Excellence
check for convenient locations to:
- Heating system piping
- Venting
- Gas supply piping

Ensure the boiler location allows the combus-
tion air/vent piping to be routed directly through
the building and terminate properly outside with
a minimum amount of length and bends.
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of the
PRESTIGE Excellence is free of any com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
liquids.
Failure to remove or maintain the area
free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids or vapors
can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Ensure the PRESTIGE Excellence and its con-
trols are protected from dripping or spraying
water during normal operation or service.
The PRESTIGE Excellence should be
installed in a location so that any water leaking
from the boiler or piping connections or relief
valve will not cause damage to the area sur-
rounding the unit or any lower floors in the
structure.
Boiler Replacement
If the PRESTIGE Excellence is replacing an
existing boiler, the following items should be
checked and corrected prior to installation:
- Boiler piping leaks and corrosion.
- Improper location and sizing of the
expansion tank on the boiler heating
loop.
