Section 1 - Outdoor Furnace Installation

Corrosion Inhibitor Plus™ is composed of common 

materials and is biodegradable. However, in keeping 

with good safety and environmental practices, the 

supplier recommends the following if draining treated 

system water becomes necessary:

•  You may drain the outdoor furnace to a home septic 

system. Central Boiler Corrosion Inhibitor Plus™ 

is biodegradable and can be properly treated in a 

residential septic system. If doing so, however, be 

careful not to overflow the septic system.

•  Do not drain the outdoor furnace in such a manner 

that the drain water could in any way contact 

surface water, stream, river, estuary (where a river 

meets a sea), lake, pond, ocean or other types of 

waters.

•  Do not drain to any location within 50 feet (15 

meters) of any water well.

Shut-Off Valves

Shut-off valves must be installed on each hot supply 

and return water line so each line can be shut off 

individually for purging air from the system. Be sure all 

valves and fittings are metal. Do not use plastic valves 

or fittings.

Ground Rod Kit

The outdoor furnace must be electrically bonded to 

ground in accordance with the requirements of the 

authority having jurisdiction or, in absence of such 

requirements, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, 

CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
Install a Ground Rod Kit (p/n 6593) and connect it to 

the outdoor furnace.
1.  In the water line trench near the outdoor furnace, 

drive the ground rod into the ground until the top of 

the ground rod is below the ground surface.

2.  Route the ground wire from the ground rod under 

the outdoor furnace base and over to the frame of the 

outdoor furnace.

3.  Secure the ground terminal with a cap screw (1/4" x 

3/4"), star washer and nut. Secure the ground wire 

to the terminal; then secure the ground wire to the 

ground rod with the clamp. Tighten all hardware 

securely.

NOTE: A hole for the ground terminal has been 

pre-punched  in  the  outdoor  furnace  base  near 

the pumps.

Fig. 4

SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES

Determine  the  configuration  of  the  supply  and  return 

lines from the outdoor furnace to where the supply and 

return lines will connect to the existing heating system. 

Central Boiler recommends using the ThermoPEX

®

 

piping system.
ThermoPEX  is a fully assembled, pre-insulated 

piping system consisting of two 1" Central PEX lines 

or two 1-1/4" PEX lines. The two lines (one a supply 

and one a return line) are insulated with high-density 

urethane insulation and a thick, durable, waterproof, 

polyethylene outer jacket. One of the lines is marked 

with a black stripe for identification.

NOTE: To prevent ground water from entering the 

house, do not use drain tile, PVC pipe with bubble 

wrap, or any other inferior material for insulating 

the water lines.
NOTE: If the outdoor furnace supply and return 

lines  are  not  insulated  properly,  or  if  other 

brands of insulated piping are used, there can be 

excessive  heat  loss.  This  heat  loss  can  greatly 

increase the fuel consumption.
NOTE: If it is unavoidable that the trench will run 

through an area of ponding water, use ThermoPEX 

instead  of  other  materials.  ThermoPEX  should 

also  be  used  for  above-ground  or  winter 

installations, and if the area is likely to be affected 

by compaction.
