CAUTION
TEXT PRINTED OR OUTLINED IN RED CONTAINS
INFORMATION RELATIVE TO YOUR SAFETY. PLEASE READ
THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
Detailed installation diagrams are in this manual. These diagrams
will serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials
and method of piping suggested. IT IS NECESSARY THAT ALL
WATER AND GAS PIPING AND THE ELECTRICAL WIRING BE
INSTALLED AND CONNECTED AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAMS.
CHECK THE DIAGRAMS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING
INSTALLATION TO AVOID POSSIBLE ERRORS AND TO
MINIMIZE TIME AND MATERIALS COST.
This design complies with the latest edition of the ANSI Z21.13
CSA 4.9 low-pressure boiler.
Particular attention should be given to the installation of
thermometers at the locations indicated in the diagrams as these
are necessary for checking the operation of the boiler.
MAKE SURE THE GAS ON WHICH THE BOILER WILL OPERATE
IS THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT RATING PLATE.
The boiler installation must conform to these instructions and the
requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation
must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
In the absence of local code requirements, the boiler installation
must conform to the most current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA-B149.1-00 installation codes.
These manuals can be purchased from the CSA International,
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131 or 178
Rexdale Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9W 1R3.
