Canadian Installations
1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the heater
shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation
air at the highest practical point communicating
with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of
such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the
area required in 2. and 3. (below), but in no case
shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 in.

).
2. For heaters using a barometric damper in the vent
system there shall be a permanent air supply
opening(s) having a cross section area of not less
than 1 in.

per kW) up
to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 in.
2
per
14,000 BTUH (160 mm

per kW) in excess of 1
million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either
located at or ducted to a point not more than 18 in.
(450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the
floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through
the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down
and terminated 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but
not near piping. This air supply opening require-
ment shall be in addition to the air opening for
ventilation air required in 1. (above).
3. For heaters not using a barometric damper in the
vent system, and when air supply is provided by
natural air flow from outdoors for a power burner
and there is no draft regulator, drafthood or similar
flue gas dilution device installed in the same
space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air
required in 1., there shall be a permanent air sup-
ply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area
of not less than 1 in.

per kW) of total rated input of the burner(s),
and the location of the opening(s) shall not inter-
fere with the intended purpose of the opening(s)
for ventilation air referred to in 1. This opening(s)
can be ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450
mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor
level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the
roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18
in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping.

Water Piping
General
The heater should be located so that any water leaks
will not cause damage to the adjacent area or struc-
tures.
Relief Valve Piping
Temperature & Pressure Gauge
The temperature and pressure gauge is shipped
mounted on the boiler outlet.
Hydrostatic Test
Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not re-
quire hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in
operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac-
tory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure.
However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic test-
ing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest
of the system prior to operation. This is particularly
true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol-
based anti-freeze. Raypak recommends conducting
the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or
electrical supply.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to
the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak
compounds.
To perform hydrostatic test:
1. Connect fill water supply. Fill heater with water.
Carefully fill the rest of the system, making sure to
eliminate any entrapped air by using high-point
vents. Close feed valve. Test at standard operating
pressure for at least 24 hours.
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been
maintained throughout test.
WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the
equipment room is not under negative pressure
conditions.
CAUTION: All combustion air must be drawn from
the air outside of the building; the mechanical equip-
ment room must communicate directly with the
outdoors.
CAUTION: This heater must be installed with a
Primary-Secondary piping arrangement for the
integral pumping system to function properly.
NOTE: Minimum pipe size for the heater inlet/outlet
connections is dependent on the equivalent length of
piping between the load loop and the heater loop,
the operating conditions and the size of the heater.
