BOILER
— Boiler Manual
Boiler location checklist
Before placing the boiler, verify:
❏
United States installations must
comply with all applicable U. S.
codes:
• Applicable state, local and national codes.
• National Electrical Code.
• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/
ASME CSD-1, when required.
Canadian installations must
comply with all applicable Cana-
dian codes:
• Canadian Standards Association CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil-Burning Equip-
ment.
• CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part One.
• Applicable provincial and local codes.
❏
Consider use of space
• The boiler area must be kept free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable liquids.
• The boiler must be installed so that boiler and system components are protected from
dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
❏
Moving boiler to location
• See manual pages 38 and 39 for boiler dimensions and weights.
• If necessary, the boiler jacket can be removed if desired for handling. See manual
pages 30 and 31 for instructions.
❏
Clearances
• Provide minimum clearances to combustible materials and for servicing boiler.
• Ensure that the swing-away burner door can swing open freely. (The hinge can be
mounted on right or left side.)
• See manual page 1
for instructions on changing door hinge location.
❏
Flooring and foundation
• Provide level flooring (non-carpeted combustible flooring is acceptable if boiler level-
ing legs are installed).
• Provide foundation if necessary.
• See manual page
.
❏
Combustion and ventilation air
openings
• Boiler room must provide adequate combustion air and ventilation.
• Unless burner uses ducted outside air for combustion, the boiler room must provide
combustion air openings.
• See manual page
.
❏
Venting
Chimney venting:
• Ensure the vent pipe can be routed to the chimney, and that the chimney connection
is higher than the boiler flue outlet.
• Ensure the vent piping will provide minimum clearances shown on manual pages
and 1
.
• See manual pages 1
and 1
for venting information.
Direct venting:
• The Ultra oil boiler can be direct vented, using the Field Controls Direct Vent Kit. Ver-
ify that the vent piping can be installed and routed to the outside wall as specified in
the Field Controls instruction manual.
• Ensure the vent piping will provide minimum clearances shown on manual page
.
❏
System water piping
• Check location of system water piping connections to be sure boiler can be properly
connected.
• See manual pages 1
through 1
.
❏
Fuel supply
• See manual page 2
for routing of fuel lines.
❏
Electrical power
• The boiler requires 120 vac power and connection to a room thermostat or other
device to initiate call for heat.
• If equipped with an AFM, the boiler requires a 20-amp service.
• See manual pages 1
through 2
.
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable liquids and vapors can
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
If the Ultra Oil boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for and correct system problems, such as:
•
System leaks
causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger cracks from hard water deposits; • Incorrectly-sized expansion tank; •
Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system and boiler to freeze and leak. Failure to correct such conditions
could result in failure of the new boiler.
