
After the boiler has been located; the rollers can be removed by one of two ways. Either by lifting the
boiler by the lifting eyes and removing the rollers or by jacking the boiler up and removing the rollers.
It is highly recommended that if removal of the boilers requires the jacking up of the boiler, that boiler
jacking pads be used. Any damage that could occur from the improper handling or jacking of the boiler
is the responsibility of the equipment handler.
4.4 The boiler room
Local building codes and insurance requirements usually dictate the type of construction and the material
to be used in the boiler room. The boiler room floor should be non-combustible and of adequate strength
to support the weight of the boiler full of water. The boiler room floor should include a floor drain.
See
the “Drains” section . It is advisable to provide wall and floor surfaces that permit the use of water hoses.
Space should be provided in the boiler room to accommodate boiler water treatment equipment and any
other equipment that may be required in the boiler room. Adequate space should be provided around
each boiler to permit cleaning and inspection of all piping supplied with the boiler. After the boiler has
been set in place, ensure it is level.
Fresh & Ventilation air
The boiler room must have an adequate air supply to permit clean, safe combustion and to minimize soot
formation. An unobstructed air opening should be provided. It may be sized on the basis of 1 sq in. free
area per 1000 Btu/hr. maximum fuel input of the combined burners located in the boiler room, or as
specified in NFPA 31, 54, or IFGC as applicable to your installation. The boiler room air supply openings
must be kept clear at all times. Also review the ventilation requirement of your burner.
Lighting
The boiler room should be well lit and it should have adequate emergency lighting for use in case of power
failure. If a flashlight is used for this purpose, it should be maintained in usable condition and it should be
protected against removal from the boiler room.
4.5 Installing the Boiler
Before connecting the boiler, carry out the following operations:

Clean carefully all the system pipework to remove any residues that could damage impede correct
boiler operation;

Check that the flue has sufficient draft, has no restrictions, is free of all soot and residues, and is
perfectly gas tight in particular to the water vapor contained in the flue gas. Check further that no
other devices are connected to the flue. Take account of applicable regulations in this regard.
