A. ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCES

Install boiler not less than 24

(610 mm) between the

left side, top, and front of the boiler and adjacent wall or
other appliance, when access is required for servicing.

B. CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE 

CONSTRUCTION

The design of this boiler is certified for alcove
installation with the following clearances:

1. 6

(152 mm) between sides and combustible

construction.

2. 24

(610 mm) between top of jacket and

combustible construction.

3. 6

(152 mm) between draft hood and combustible

construction.

4. 6

(152 mm) between vent pipe and combustible

construction.

5. 10

(254 mm) between rear of jacket and

combustible construction.

C. AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION

1. Adequate combustion air and ventilation air must be

provided for this appliance in accordance with the
section of the 

National Fuel Gas Code

entitled, “Air

for Combustion and Ventilation” or applicable
provisions of the local building code. Subsections 2
through 8 as follows are based on the 

National Fuel

Gas Code

requirements.

2. Required Combustion Air Volume: The total required

volume of indoor air is to be the sum of the required
volumes for all appliances located within the space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed and through
combustion air openings sized as indicated in
Subsection 3 are considered part of the required
volume. The required volume of indoor air is to be
determined by one of two methods.

a.

Standard Method:

The minimum required

volume of indoor air (room volume) shall be 50
cubic feet per 1000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m

3

/kW). This

method is to be used if the air infiltration rate is
unknown or if the rate of air infiltration is known
to be greater than 0.6 air changes per hour. As
an option, this method may be used if the air
infiltration rate is known to be between 0.6 and
0.4 air changes per hour. If the air infiltration rate
is known to be below 0.4 then the 

Known Air

Infiltration Rate Method

must be used. If the

building in which this appliance is to be installed
is unusually tight, the manufacturer recommends
that the air infiltration rate be determined.

b.

Known Air Infiltration Rate Method:

Where

the air infiltration rate of a structure is known,
the minimum required volume of indoor air for
appliances other than fan assisted and for the
boiler shall be determined as follows:

PREINSTALLATION

1. PREINSTALLATION

Read carefully, study these instructions before beginning work.

This boiler must be installed by a qualified contractor.

The boiler warranty can be voided if the boiler is not installed, maintained and serviced correctly.

The equipment must be installed in accordance with those installation requirements of the authority having 
jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the current edition of the 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, 

Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to 

American Society of

Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ASME CSD-1.

NOTICE

Do not install this boiler on carpeting. Boiler
installation on carpeting is a fire hazard. Install this
boiler on non-combustible flooring or use a
combustible floor pan to install this boiler on other
non-carpeted flooring.

WARNING

Do not install this boiler on combustible flooring
unless it is installed on a special combustible floor
pan provided by the manufacturer. Boiler installation
on combustible flooring without the special pan is a
fire hazard.

To order combustible floor pan, use the 5-digit stock
codes listed in Table 11.1 of this manual.
