INSTALLATIOIN INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRIC STEAM BOILERS
Note: Please read the entire instruction manual before attempting installation.
Insurance and local or state regulatory codes may contain additional or more stringent
requirements than those contained in this manual. Installation must conform to these codes and
any other authority having jurisdiction. Appropriate sections of NEC should be consulted and
followed.
1.1 BOILER
FOUNDATION
Before uncrating, the boiler location should be prepared. The boiler should set upon a good level
concrete floor. If the boiler is not level or the floor is not in good condition, a concrete foundation
should be built, the dimensions being larger than the outside dimensions of the boiler base.
1.2 CLEARANCES
The front of the boiler should not be any closer than 36" from any obstruction for servicing the
electrical panels. The element end of the boiler should not have any obstruction to allow for the
same length as the boiler supplied for removal and servicing of elements. The back of the boiler
(as long as panels are not supplied in the rear) can be mounted next to an obstruction. Local
codes must be applied to specific installations and the minimum clearances established
accordingly. Provisions must also be made for service, accessibility, and clearance for piping
and electrical connections.
NOTE
ADHERE TO ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES REGARDING BOILER INSTALLATION AND
CLEARANCES.
1.3 UNCRATING THE BOILER
Uncrate the boiler near its permanent location. Leave it on the bottom crating until ready to place it
permanently. Leave the plastic shroud on the boiler until all piping work is complete, cutting holes
in the plastic for access to connections.
Remove the bolts attaching the boiler to the crate at the underside of the bottom crating. Lift or
slide the boiler off of the bottom crating into position. Be careful not to tip the boiler up on one
corner or side, which could cause damage to jacket.
