Part 1 - General Safety Information
Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
NOTE:
When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be
possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to
make note of the boiler model and serial number.
NOTE:
A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front
clearance.
CAUTION
CAUTION
All boilers eventually leak. Locate the boiler where any leakage from
the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result
in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. Any
boiler should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak
the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in
which it is installed. If the boiler is installed in a location where
a leak could cause damage, it is required to provide containment
measures. Such measures include but are not limited to: a properly
sized drain pan installed beneath the boiler and piped to an open
drain line, or installing the boiler on a concrete floor pitched to a
free flowing drain. Failure to provide containment measures is the
sole responsibility of the owner and/or installer. Leakage damages
ARE NOT covered by warranty.
In addition, water leak detection devices and automatic water
shutoff valves are readily available at plumbing supply houses. IT
IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INSTALL
WATER LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
VALVES IN ANY BOILER INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OF
WATER COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGES.
The boiler must be installed level for the condensate to properly flow
out of the collection system. Failure to do so will result in improper
appliance operation.
B. Leveling
C. Clearances for Service Access
NOTE:
If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure
2 and Table 6 it might not be possible to service the boiler without
removing it from the space.

Table 6 - Minimum Installation and Service Clearances
NOTE:
For closet installations, a combustible door or removable
panel is acceptable front clearance. A 3” minimum clearance must be
provided from the appliance front cover to the removable panel or
combustible door.
Minimum Clearances from Combustible Materials
•
Hot water pipes - at least 1” from combustible materials
•
Exhaust vent pipe - at least 1” from combustible materials

Boiler Area Ventilation Air Openings - Closet Installations
If the boiler is installed in a closet or alcove the boiler area/room must
be ventilated.
EXCEPTION:
If the boiler area/room has a volume of 150 ft
3
or greater,
ventilation of the boiler area/room is not required.
Each ventilation air opening must meet the minimum requirements
of 1 in
2
per 1000 BTU/hr., but not less than 100 in
2
. The lower ventila-
tion opening must be located within 6 in. of the floor, while the upper
opening must be located 6 in. from the top of the space.
The space must be provided with correctly sized combustion/
ventilation air openings for all other appliances located in the
space with the boiler. For power venting installations using room
air for combustion, refer to the boiler venting section, this manual,
for descriptions of confined and unconfined spaces. Do not install
the boiler in an attic. The boiler cover must be securely fastened
to prevent the boiler from drawing air from the boiler room. This is
particularly important if the boiler is in a room with other appliances.
Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
If the boiler area has a volume less than 150 ft
3
, it is considered a
Closet or Alcove. In the US/Canada, PVC vent pipe and fittings SHALL
NOT BE USED within the closet or alcove. Only approved CPVC,
Polypropylene, or Stainless Steel vent pipe and fittings may be used.
See Table 12 for a list of approved materials. Under all circumstances
proper ventilation must be provided.
WARNING
Alcove Installations
Alcove installations have the same minimum dimensions as closet
installations, except the installation must be completely open to the
room at a distance no greater than 18 in. (457 mm) from the front of
the boiler and the room must be at least three (3) times the size of the
alcove. Provided these conditions are met, the boiler requires no extra
ventilation air openings to the space. If these conditions are not met,
follow the requirements for Closet Installations.
