PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILERS

Installation location ONLY as permitted in paragraph

entitled "LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE

GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION" on page 4 of this

instruction book. 

The above warning does not apply to NATURAL gas-
fired boilers.

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

Instruction Book.

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.

WARNING

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 pressure.

Leakage from this system can be hazardous and if not

avoided can result in death or serious injury. In addition to

the recommendations within this manual and the User’s

Information Manual, the venting system, from the blower to

the outdoor discharge, must be carefully checked annually

by a qualified service agency.
