Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions
2.1 Location
In all cases, the Matrix must be installed indoors, in a dry location, such that the gas components are protected from dripping or
spraying water or rain, during operation and servicing. The boiler location ambient temperature is maintained to a minimum of
50
°
F.
Determine the best location of the vent termination, and if possible locate the appliance as close to the termination point as possible.
Ensure that the desired appliance location is not subjected to flooding or high moisture levels, for damage to the appliance will
occur, voiding your NY THERMAL warranty.
ATTENTION
LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM (LP) PROPANE
T
he Matrix is set to operate with Natural Gas; LP Conversion Kit Part No. 82650-1 is included with each furnace and
must be installed before operating with Propane.
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air; it is imperative that your boiler is not installed in a pit or
similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Local Codes may require appliances fueled with LP gas
be provided with an approved means, of removing unburned gases from the room.
Check your local codes for this requirement.

system shall include:
1.
Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting system design or the venting system components; and
2.
A complete parts list for the venting system design or venting system.
(d)MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS – GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDED. When the

1.
The referenced “special venting system” instructions shall be included with the appliance or equipment installation
instructions; and
2.
The “special venting systems” shall be Product Approved by the Board, and the instructions for that system shall
include a parts list and detailed installation instructions.
