L. Adjusting Airflow On Draft Blower
The damper below the blower should be set at the highest position to begin with and can be
adjusted lower as needed thereafter. Line up the lowest notch of the damper with the bottom of
the blower flange. This provides a lower amount of air flow for greater efficiency. Do not open the
damper so far as to exceed a flue draft of 0.1000” W.C. See also page 5 regarding this. For
burning coal, more air flow is needed.
III. Installing Boiler
Boiler must be installed by a certified technician.
A. Location of Boiler
The outdoor boiler must be located to comply with the clearance requirements on page 4. Keep the
door facing away from a structure so all fire danger is removed from your home. The boiler may be
installed as much as 250 feet away using an appropriately sized pump and piping and still heat your
house and hot water. However, if the boiler is located more than 100 feet away, you may experience
inefficiency and heat loss. A larger pump than the one supplied may be needed for distances over 100
feet and/or any rise in elevation over 15 feet.
Locate the outdoor wood boiler where it will be convenient for refueling and wood storage. Pex pipe
and power lines are to be installed underground between the house and the boiler and the pex must
be buried below frost lines.
1. It is recommended that the boiler be installed with chimney extensions for due
consideration to any neighboring residences and to the prevailing wind direction. This can
be obtained from Nature’s Comfort.
2. Do not locate the boiler within 100 ft of a residence not served by the boiler. Be
considerate of neighboring residences, properties, parks, etc.
3. Do not locate the boiler near any combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids
or gases.
4. The boiler should be located away from dry, grassy areas and any buildings
to minimize danger of fires.
5. Check with your insurance company and local codes or ordinances.
6. Do not install the boiler in an area where nearby structures or trees might cause down
drafts.
7. Typically, outdoor wood burning boilers are located 40 to 100 ft down wind from the
structure served.
8. To aid in smoke dispersal, extra chimney lengths may be required depending on the
distance to surrounding structures. See page 8 for additional guidance.
9. The boiler requires a dedicated 15 amp, 115vac electrical service to operate.
Failure to keep the boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
