SERIES 8800 & 8900 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Page 3

RATINGS & CAPACITIES

Before undertaking the installation of the Series 8800
and 8900 boiler/water heater check the rating plate to
ensure that the unit has been sized properly for the job.
The “Net I=B=R Ratings” specify the equivalent amount
of direct cast iron radiation that the unit can supply under
normal conditions. Also ensure that the unit has been
set up for the type of gas available at the installation
site. Other important considerations are the availability
of an adequate electrical supply, fresh air for combustion
and a suitable chimney or vent system.

BOILER/WATER HEATER LOCATION

1.

Locate the boiler/water heater in an area that
provides good access to the unit. Servicing may
require the removal of jacket panels. Allow the
minimum clearances between adjacent construction
and the boiler/water heater as listed in Table 1.
Accessibility clearances must take precedence over
fire protection clearances.

2.

An optimum site will be level, central to the piping
system, close to a chimney and have adequate fresh
air for combustion. Ensure that the boiler/water heater
is level from front to back and from side to side. Use
metal shims to level the boiler/water heater. Electrical
and electronic components must also be protected
from exposure to water during operation and
maintenance. 

DO NOT

 install this boiler/water heater

in a location that would subject any of the gas ignition
components to direct contact with water or excessive
moisture during operation or servicing.

3.

Ensure that the floor is structurally sound and will
support the weight of the boiler/water heater. Never
install a Series 8800 or 8900 boiler/water heater on
a concrete floor that contains wires, cables, water
pipes or hoses. This boiler/water heater is designed
for noncombustible floors only! Never install this
boiler/water heater on combustible materials or
carpeting even if a non-combustible foundation
material is placed over them!

WARNING: Never install a Series 8800 or 8900
boiler/water heater on top of combustible
flooring! Failure to comply with this warning may
result in a fire causing extensive property
damage, severe personal injury or death!

4.

Locate the boiler/water heater in an area that will
prevent water damage to adjacent construction
should a leak occur or during routine maintenance.
If such a location doesn’t exist, a suitable drain pan
that’s adequately drained must be installed under
the unit. The pan must not restrict the flow of
combustion air to the unit.

5.

DO NOT

 place this boiler/water heater in a location

that would restrict the introduction of combustion air
into the unit or subject it to a negative pressure.

6.

NEVER

 place this boiler/water heater in a location

that would subject it to temperatures at or near
freezing.

WARNING: Never store combustible materials,
gasoline or any product containing flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of the boiler/water heater.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in an
explosion or fire causing extensive property damage,
severe personal injury or death!

COMBUSTION AIR & VENTILATION

WARNING: This boiler/water heater must be
supplied with combustion air in accordance with
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion & Ventilation, of
the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 and all applicable local
building codes. Canadian installations must
comply with CAN/ CGA B149.1 or .2 Installation
Code for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes. Failure to provide adequate
combustion air for this boiler/water heater can
result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide
which can result in severe personal injury or
death!

To operate properly and safely this boiler/water heater
requires a continuous supply of air for combustion.

NEVER

 store objects on or around the boiler!

CAUTION: Combustion air contaminated with
fluorocarbons or other halogenated compounds
such as cleaning solvents and refrigerants will
result in the formation of acids in the combustion
chamber. These acids will cause premature failure
of the boiler/water heater voiding the warranty!

Buildings will require the installation of a fresh air duct
or other means of providing make-up air. Any building
utilizing other gas burning appliances, a fireplace, wood
stove or any type of exhaust fan must be checked for
adequate combustion air when all of these devices are
in operation at one time. Sizing of an outside air duct
must be done to meet the requirements of all such devices.
