The installation must conform to the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of
such requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. The installation must also
conform to the additional requirements in this Slant/Fin

In addition where required by the authority having juris-
diction, the installation must conform to American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for
Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers, No. CSD-1.

This boiler, gas piping and accessories must be
installed, connected, serviced and repaired by a
trained, experienced service technician, familiar with all
precautions required for gas-fired equipment and
licensed or otherwise qualified, in compliance with the
authority having jurisdiction.

WARNING

The venting system of this boiler is under positive pres-
sure when it is connected to the outdoors with 3" diameter
pipe. Leakage from this system can be hazardous and if
not avoided can result in death or serious injury. In addi-

User’s Information Manual, the venting system, from the
blower to the outdoor discharge, must be carefully
checked annually by a qualified service agency.

This manual must be left with owner and
should be hung on or adjacent to the boiler
