SERIES 28RTS/HE BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The bottom opening must be within 12 in.305 mm 
of, but not less than 3 in.76 mm from, the bottom of the 
enclosure.

All Air From Outside The Building
When installed in a confi ned space two permanent 
openings communicating directly with, or by ducts to, 
the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with 
the outdoors must be present. The upper opening must 
be within 12 in.,  305 mm of, but not less than 3 in.
76 mm from, the top of the enclosure. The bottom 
opening must be within 12 in.305 mm of, but not less 
than 3 in.76 mm from, the bottom of the enclosure.

Where directly communicating with the outdoors or 
communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, 
each opening shall have a minimum free area of 
1 in

kW of the total input rating of all of the equipment in the 
enclosure. When ducts are used, they must have the 
same cross-sectional area as the free area of the 
opening to which they connect. When calculating the 
free area necessar y to meet the make-up air 
requirements of the enclosure, consideration must be 
given to the blockage effects of louvers, grills and 
screens. Screens must have a minimum mesh size of 
1/4 in6.4mm. If the free area through a louver or grill 
is not known the louver or grille should be sized per 
Table 1.

COMBUSTION AIR & VENTILATION

WARNING: This boiler must be supplied with 
combustion and ventilation air in accordance 
with the latest revision of Section 5.3, Air for 
Combustion & Ventilation, of the National Fuel 
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 for gas boilers 
or ANSI/NFPA 31 Installation of Oil Burning 
Equipment for oil boilers. Canadian installations 
must comply with CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas 
and Propane Installation Code for gas boilers 
or CSA B140.7 Oil Burning Equipment for oil 
boilers. All applicable local building codes 
must be adhered to. Failure to provide adequate 
combustion air for this boiler can result in 
excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can 
result in severe personal injury or death!

To operate properly and safely this boiler requires a 
continuous supply of air for combustion. An adequate 
supply of air must be available to replace the air used 
by the combustion process. NEVER store objects on or 
around the boiler.

CAUTION: Never use an exhaust fan in the boiler 
room. The boiler room must never be under a 
negative pressure or improper burner operation will 
occur!

NOTE: Forced make-up air supplied to the boiler 
room must be approved by the local authorities. 
A minimum of 30 ft

All Air From Inside The Buidling
If the boiler is to be located in a confi ned space mini-
mum clearances of 24 in.610 mm must be maintained 
between the boiler and any adjacent construction. 
When installed in a confi ned space, two permanent 
openings communicating with an additional room(s) 
are required. The combined volume of these spaces 
must have suffi cient volume to meet the criteria for an 
unconfi ned space. The total air requirements of all fuel 
burning equipment or any type of exhaust fan must be 
considered when making this determination.

Each opening must have a minimum free area of 
1 in
