OXYGEN DIFFUSION BARRIER

 

This  barrier  provides  added  protection  against  corrosion  for  the  various  ferrous  components  of  a 
heating system. 
 
Oxygen molecules will penetrate through the tubing wall and into the circulating water of a “closed” 
system. The amount of oxygen passing through the tubing wall and into the system is well known for 
all materials and increases with temperature. For a typical system with plastic tubing working at 100º F 
continuously, this oxygen diffusion leads to the generation of about 1 oz. corrosion products 
(MagnetiteFe304) per 100 ft. of pipe each year (10 times more for epdm rubber hoses). That is, if 
ferrous materials are present in the systems, such as steel pipes, steel pumps or steel boilers. If the 
quality of the water is good, general corrosion occurs. The resultant sludge consists of a fine grain 
metal oxide that normally is easily transported with the water. It mainly settles where the water flow 
rate is low. However, the amount of sludge builds up over the years and will lead to circulation 
disturbances and other corrosion-related problems. With more corrosive water qualities, problems due 
to pitting corrosion are likely to occur early.  
 
An Oxygen barrier is a layer within the pipe construction which prevents oxygen from entering the 
system. By preventing oxygen from entering the system, corrosion of the pipe, radiators, boilers and 
associated fittings is massively reduced, thus prolonging the life of the system. 
 
Other problems that will increase the corrosion of the system: Faulty expansion tank, Leak in pipes or 
expansion tank and new water introduced 

 
WARNING:  FAILURE TO INSTALL THE AMERICAS HEAT ® BOILER ACCORDING TO 
INSTRUCTIONS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. 

 

 

Install the AMERICAS HEAT ® boiler in a room with adequate air for combustion and ventilation; 60 
cubic feet per minute, minimum.  Minimum clearances to combustibles for the AMERICAS HEAT® 
boiler is 24” from the top, open front, 30” on either side and 18” from the rear.  The AMERICAS 
HEAT® boiler is to be installed on noncombustible flooring. 

 

 

 

Connect the AMERICAS HEAT® boiler to an all fuel or Class “A” fuel chimney only, with 6” 
(minimum) metal flue pipe using sheet metal screws.  Do not connect the AMERICAS HEAT® boiler 
to any chimney flue servicing any other heating appliance, as recommended by the National Fire 
Prevention Association.  All chimney connections must meet the approval of the local building 
inspector and fire marshal and conform to all local, state and national codes. 
 
The AMERICAS HEAT® boiler requires .04 inches water column draft (chimney draft), on low fire, 
to assure proper operation.  Low fire mode is when the thermostat is satisfied and fuel is not being 
augured into the burner.  When the chimney draft is too high, burner fire may go out.  If the chimney 
draft is too low, smoke may back up in the boiler storage bin, causing a potential hazard. 
 
Chimney draft can be tested by inserting a draft gauge in the flue pipe as close to boiler as possible.  
Check draft after boiler has been burning for a minimum of thirty minutes.  The supplied automatic 
barometric damper should be installed, in the flue, to properly regulate .04 water column draft.  (Install 
as close to boiler as possible.)
