Provide air openings to room:
The Power-fin alone in boiler room
1. No air ventilation openings into the boiler room are
needed when clearances around the Power-fin are at
least equal to the SERVICE clearances shown in FIG. 1-1.
For spaces that do NOT supply this clearance, provide
two openings as shown in FIG. 1-1. Each opening must
provide one square inch free area per 1,000 Btu/hr of
boiler input.
2. Combustion air openings are required when using the
Room Air Option on 24 of this manual.
The Power-fin in the same space with other gas or
oil-fired appliances
1. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) or CSA B149.1
(Canada) to size/verify size of the combustion/ventilation
air openings into the space.
The space must be provided with
combustion/ventilation air openings
correctly sized for all other appliances
located in the same space as the Power-fin.
Failure to comply with the above warnings
could result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
2. Size openings only on the basis of the other appliances in
the space. No additional air opening free area is needed
for the Power-fin when it takes its combustion air from
outside (direct vent installation).
WARNING
Recommended clearances for service access
- Sides .............................................................................. 0"
- Rear ............................................................................... 24"
- Front ............................................................................. 24"
- Top ................................................................................ 24"
If you do not provide the recommended
service clearances shown, it may not be
possible to service the boiler without
removing it from the space.
NOTICE
Maintain minimum specified clearances for adequate
operation. All installations must allow sufficient space for
servicing the vent connections, water pipe connections, piping
and other auxiliary equipment, as well as the appliance. The
clearance labels on each appliance note the same service and
combustible clearance requirements as shown in this manual.
Multiple boilers may be installed side by side with no clearance
between adjacent boilers because this boiler is approved for
zero clearance from combustible surfaces; however, service
access will be limited from the sides.
Consult the
Venting
section of this manual for specific
installation instructions for the appropriate type of venting
system that you will be using.
