WOOD BOILER INSTRUCTIONS Page 13 Copyright © 2011 Seton Wood Boilers all rights reserved
NOTE:
Installation should be made by a qualified heating equipment installer
(one who is engaged in
and is responsible for, or is thoroughly familiar with the installation and operation of gas, oil, and solid fuel burn-
ing heating appliances, who is experienced in such work and familiar with all the building requirements and/or fire
codes of the authority having local jurisdiction.)
1. The installation is to be completed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association NFPA) installation
standards No. 89M, 90B, 211, 70 (National Electrical Code) and Uniform Mechanical Code 913, 6-4 in states
where applicable (where code offers making flue pipe connections into an existing chimney with other fuel
burning appliances).
2. Wood-burning appliances need air for combustion and circulation to the house. Provision must be made to pro-
vide make-up air so as not to starve the central heating system of combustion air. Have the local regulating
authority determine that make-up air supply is adequate. Reference NFPA standards No. 30 & 54, Code for
Installation of Gas and Oil Equipment.
3. Position the boiler according to clearances (see page 4)
4. Make flue pipe connections to the chimney with 24-gauge pipe and elbows (not included with boiler) maintain-
ing proper clearances. Seal the flue pipe in the chimney with furnace cement.
Chimney connections must be securely supported and joints fastened with sheet metal screws
or rivets.
5. Make electrical supply connections in the electrical junction box and connect power supply wires to des-
ignated wires using wire nuts (see wiring diagram
page 19 & 21
) The power cord supplied may be used for in-
stallation if local codes and regulations permit. If not permitted, power supply wiring must be minimum of 18-ga.
AWG copper and rated for 90 deg. Centigrade installed in a metal cable or conduit. Power connections should be
made by a qualified installer to comply with NFPA Standard No. 70 and all local codes and regulations.
CAUTION:
Keep furnishings and other combustible materials away from the boiler.
BOILER INSTALLATION
ANTIFREEZE,
Do no install antifreeze in the boiler for a few weeks, in case of boiler problems that would
blow the antifreeze out. Also it is best to drain the boiler at least three times with hot water in
it to remove any residual oil or impurities in it.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (POP-OFF),
The relief valve must be exercised at least once a year, to prevent chemical buildup in the
valve that will prevent it from operating properly. Replace the relieve valve immediately if it
starts to leak or drip.
Never block relieve valves
. Relieve valves should have an air gap so
you can see if they are leaking. Drain lines must slope down so they do not collect water and
to prevent freezing.
