Regulations and guidelines
The installation must conform to the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1 / NFPA 54. In Canada,
installation must be in accordance with the requirements of CAN/
CGA B149.1 or 2 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
Install CO detectors per local regulations. Boiler requires yearly
maintenance, see "Connecting the burner", page 28.

Warning:
• Inadequate combustion air supply will result in carbon monoxide [CO] development.
• Ensure boiler room is provided with an obstruction free combustion air source,
• Sources must be sized to provide ample supply, more than one o pening maybe required.
• Ensure boiler room must be been with adequate se rvicing clearances.
• Ensure boiler installed with proper clearance to combustible mate rials
• Do not store combustible materials, flammable fluids or vapors near the boiler.
• Do not operate the boiler under a negative building pressure.
The combustion air supply depends on the volume and construction of the building, more than one
combustion air supply source or openings maybe required. Combustion air sources that are provided by
mechanical device or electrically operated must be interlocked with the boiler/burner to ensure they are in
the correct position.
The combustion air supply must be from a source that is free from airborne contaminates such as dust,
fumes, corrosive elements, hydrocarbons and any other known air containments. If the combustion air
quality is unknown or is a concern, please consult the factory for assistance. Failure in complying with any
of these requirements will result in void of product warranty.
