Installations should utilize the Energy Kinetics tank stand or the standard boiler stand to provide a solid, level, and 

smooth foundation for the boiler.  Place the unit as near to the chimney or vent as possible 

allowing clearance for front 

cleaning and service as shown in Figure 1B

.  If not using an Energy Kinetics supplied stand, provide a solid, level, and 

smooth foundation with clearance for door opening and service.  

NOTICE:

  The stand must be 

level

 to allow for proper venting of air from the boiler.  The Frontier is manufactured with the 

BACK of the boiler 

higher

 than the front to assist in air removal.

COMBUSTION AIR

 

The System 2000 Boiler must be installed in an area where adequate fresh air is available to support combustion.  

The Frontier is provided with a sealed Air Box that can be piped to air outside the building.  Piping of outside air directly to 
the boiler is highly recommended because it completely isolates the boiler from the home environment, as well as greatly 
reducing operating noise from the boiler. 

 

Boiler with outside air piping:

  In modern houses with tight construction, the connection of the Air Box to an outside 

air source to provide combustion air is highly recommended.  The outside air source must be located high enough above 
grade to be at least 12” above expected snow accumulation.  

 

WARNING:

  For systems with sidewall venting, combustion air piping from outside the building is 

required

.  The Energy 

Kinetics sidewall vent kit contains specific instructions for installation that must be followed.  Combustion air 
may be supplied through PVC pipe.  For EK1 use 2" pipe up to 20 feet in length with up to (5) 90-degree 
elbows.  For EK2 use 3" pipe up to 20 feet in length with up to (5) 90-degree elbows.  A total equivalent 
length of 45 feet is allowed.  Each 90 degree elbow is the equivalent of 5 feet of straight pipe.  For example, 
if three 90 degree elbows are used, then the length of pipe run may increase to 35 feet.  For longer runs up 
to 40 feet with up to five 90 degree elbows, immediately increase pipe size by 1", to 3" for EK1 and 4" for 
EK2.  An unglued or Tek-screw joint allows the door to swing down when the air inlet pipe is disconnected. 

 

WARNING:

  Modern buildings of tight construction, as well as the operation of attic and exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation 

systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions of unsatisfactory combustion or venting.  
Provisions must be made to use 

combustion air that communicates with a well-ventilated attic or with the 

outdoors

 (such as using a louver or grate).  The opening should have a free area of not less than one (1) 

square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour of the total input rating. 

 

Boiler without outside air piping:

   

 

WARNING:

  The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and 

one near the bottom.  Each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 1,000 BTU 
per hour of the total input rating of all appliances in the enclosure, freely communicating with interior areas 

having adequate infiltration from the outside.
