BOILERS AND VOLUME WATER HEATERS
Section 2
LOCATING THE APPLIANCE
2.1
Locating the Appliance
The MagnaTech may be installed indoors or
outdoors. If installing outdoors in a location
that may experience freezing temperatures,
precautions must be taken to prevent water in
the heat exchanger and condensate inside and
outside of the boiler from freezing. Damage due
to freezing water or condensate is not covered by
the warranty.
Choose a location for the unit which allows
clearances on all sides for maintenance and
inspection. See Table 1. Always install the unit on
a firm, level surface.
The unit should not be located in an area
where leakage of any connections will result in
damage to the area adjacent to the appliance,
or to lower floors of the structure.
When this type of location is not available,
install a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
under the appliance.
The appliance is design-certified by CSA-
International for installation on combustible
flooring; in basements; in utility rooms or
alcoves
. MagnaTech boilers must never be
installed on carpeting.
The location for the
appliance should be chosen with regard to the
vent pipe lengths and external plumbing.
The unit shall be installed such that the gas
ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
operation and service (circulator replacement,
control replacement, etc.).
When vented vertically, the MagnaTech must
be located as close as practical to the vertical
section of the vent. If the vent terminal and/or
combustion air terminal terminate through a wall,
and there is potential for snow accumulation in
the local area, both terminals should be installed
at an appropriate level above grade or the
maximum expected snow line.
The dimensions and requirements that are
shown in Table 1 should be met when choosing
the locations for the appliance.
2.2
Correct Vent Distance from
Outside Wall or Roof Termination
1.7 Unpacking
The MagnaTech is shipped in a single crate.
Remove all packing and tie-down materials.
Note -
When located on the same wall, the
MagnaTech combustion air intake terminal must be
installed a minimum of 12” (
30cm)
below the exhaust
terminal. There must also be a minimum horizontal
distance from intake to the exhaust terminal
of 84” (
213cm)

Installations in the U.S. require exhaust vent pipe that is CPVC
complying with ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441, polypropylene
complying with ULC S636, or stainless steel complying with
UL1738. Installations in Canada require exhaust vent pipe that
is certified to ULC S636.
Intake (air) pipe must be PVC or CPVC that complies with
ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441, ABS that complies with ANSI/ASTM
D1527, stainless steel, or galvanized material.
To calculate max equivalent length, measure the linear feet of
the pipe, and add 5 feet
(1.5 m)
for each elbow used.
