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 24.
Only a qualified installing contractor may carry out the installation, the
initial start-up, the connection for fixed gas and vent gas, and
conversion to another type of gas. The hot water distribution system
must comply with the applicable codes and regulations. When
replacing an existing boiler, it is important to check the entire hot
water distribution system to insure safe operation. Maintenance and
cleaning must be carried out at least once a year by a trained service
technician. The entire installation must be tested for proper
operation. Any defects detected must be fixed immediately.

To facilitate boiler transportation into the final installation site, a
special handling tool (package BG 45, no.8218-7723) may be used
as shown to transport the boiler or the boiler on the MLS horizontal
domestic hot water tank. The two 3/4” or 1” pipes are shown are not
supplied with the package BG45, they are supplied by others.
Installation
1 Installing the boiler
The boiler does not require any special housekeeping pad as it has been provided with a study frame and leveling bolts for the
final installation, but a non combustible pad is suggested to keep occasional water away from the boiler. The boiler requires
clearance for combustibles and for servicing, the recommended clearance as shown in the table below. Do not install the boiler
on combustible flooring or carpet.
Proper combustion air and ventilation are required for the boiler, inadequate combustion air or makeup air provisions may result
in foul boiler room odors, incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide (CO) development or creation of negative building
pressure.
Particular attention must be observed if the boiler is operating near or within vicinity of beauty shops, paint shops or
industrial plant where known pollutants, corrosive element may containment affect the quality of combustion air supply, failure to
observe this warnings will result in void of warranty of the boiler and any responsibility of De Dietrich.
Consult local codes for combustion air and ventilation requirements, each installation must comply with all local and national
codes having jurisdiction.
