Multiple boiler installations

Placing multiple boilers

1.  Locate multiple boilers with spacings shown in Figure 59.
2.  Provide indicated clearances around boilers for access and servic-

ing. If recommended dimensions are not possible, provide at least 

the minimum clearances given on page 9. Also follow local codes.

3.  The recommended clearance of 41½ inches below the boiler en-

sures room for further addition of a CWH unit if desired.

4.  Provide a minimum 30-inch walkway in front of the boilers to 

ensure accessibility.

5.  Uncrate, assemble and mount boilers according to instructions 

in this manual.

6.  Provide clearance for installation of venting, air piping, gas piping, 

expansion tank, primary circulator and other accessories.

Manifolded combustion air option

1.  Multiple WM97+ boilers can use a common combustion air 

manifold.
a.  Provide minimum clearance to adjacent vents and grade/snow 

line as shown in Figure 60.

b.  Provide minimum free area in duct (adjusted for louver restric-

tion) of 

1 square inch per 2,000 Btuh

 total boiler input (or 

see Figure 133, page 130).

c.  If combustion air damper is used, wire to boilers to prevent 

operation except after damper has opened.

  ONLY air piping can be combined. DO NOT use com-

bined vent piping. Flue gas leakage and boiler compo-

nent damage can occur. Failure to comply could result 

in severe personal injury, death or substantial property 

damage.

  DO NOT use common venting — the manifold option is 

only for combustion air — all vent pipes must be routed 

and terminated individually as described in this manual.

 See 

Figure 133, page 130 for minimum cross sectional 

area of combined air ducts. 

 

— OR —

  Calculate required cross section (for area in square 

inches):

 

MIN. AREA = TOTAL MBH INPUT DIVIDED BY 2

 

Example: A multiple boiler system with (6) WM97+155 

boilers has a total input of 6 x 155 = 

930

 MBH (930,000 

Btuh). The required duct cross sectional area is:

 

MIN. AREA = 930 DIVIDED BY 2 = 465 sq. inches
