e)   Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes 

of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, 

or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe. 

  Faire fonctionner le brûleur principal pendant 5 min ensuite, 

déterminer si le coupe-tirage déborde à l'ouverture de décharge. 

Utiliser la flamme d'une  allunette ou d'une chandelle ou la 

fumée d'une cigarette, d'un cigare ou d'une pipe.

f)  After it has been determined that each appliance remaining 

connected to the common venting system properly vents when 

tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, 

fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their 

previous condition of use.

  Une fois qu'il a été d éterminé, selon la métode indiquée ci-

dessus, que chaque appareil raccordé au système d'évacuation 

est mis à l'air libre de façor adéquate. Remettre les portes et les 

fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres de cheminées et les appareils 

au gaz à leur position originale.

g)  Any improper operation of the common venting system should 

be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel 

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. When resizing any portion 

of the common venting system, the common venting system 

should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined 

using the appropriate tables in Appendix F in the National Fuel 

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and or CAN/CGA-B149 

Installation Codes.

  Tout mauvais fonctionnement du systéme d'évacu-tion commun 

devrait étré corrigé de façor que l'installation soit conforme au 

National Fue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) aux 

codes d'installation CAN/CGA-B149. Si la grosseur d'une section 

du système d' évacuation doit étré modifiée, le système devrait 

étré modifié pour respecter les valeurs minimales des tableaux 

pertinents de l'appendice F du National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/ NFPA 54 et (ou) des codes d'installation CAN/

CGA-B149.

GENERAL PIPING REQUIREMENTS

  Improper piping of this boiler/water heater will void 

the manufacturer's warranty and can cause boiler failure 

resulting in flooding and extensive property damage! 

Excessive water hardness causing scaling in the copper 

heat exchanger tubes is NOT covered under the 

manufacturer’s warranty. Excessive pitting and erosion 

of the internal surface of the copper heat exchanger 

tubes is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s 

warranty if the result of high water flow rates, see Table 

7. Return water temperatures below 

125°F

52°C

 will 

result in heat exchanger damage from excessive 

condensation voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, see 

Primary/Secondary Piping Figure 11.

  Shut off valves and unions should be installed at the 

inlet and outlet connections of the boiler/water heater 

to provide for isolation of the unit should servicing 

be necessary.
