This boiler has been designed for residential
installations. Tf used for commercial applications,
all jurisdictional requirements must be met. This
may require wiring and/or piping modifications.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any changes to
the original design.
1, Read the Owner's Manual for Safe Operation. Failure
to follow rules for safe operation and instructions can
cause malfunction of boiler and result in death, serious
bodily injury, and/or property damage.
2, Check your local codes and utility requirements before
installation. Installation must be in accordance with
their directives, or follow NFPA 31 Installation of Oil
Burning Equipment, latest revision.
3, Before servicing, allow boiler to cool. Always shut off
any electricity and oil to boiler when working on it,
4, Inspect oil line and connections for leaks.
5, Be certain oil burner nozzle is the size required. Over-
firing will result in early failure of the boiler sections.
This will cause dangerous operation.
6, Never vent this boiler into enclosed space. Always vent
to outside. Never vent to another room or inside a
building.
7, Be sure there is adequate air supply for complete
combustion.
8. Follow regular service and maintenance schedule for
efficient and safe operation.
9. Keep boiler area clean and free of combustible material,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
10. Oil burners are not do-it-yourself items. This
boiler must be installed and serviced by qualified
professionals using combustion test instruments,
Burn and scald hazard. Safety relief valve could
discharge steam or hot water during operation.
Tnstall discharge piping per these instructions.
11.
Be aware when piping the safety relief valve if system
pressure exceeds safe limit of 30 pounds per square
inch, the safety relief valve will automatically lift
open. Lifting of the safety relief valve can discharge
large quantities of steam and hot water, which may
damage the surroundings. Before installing the safety
relief valve read the manufacturer's instructions and
maintenance section of the manual on safety relief
valves.
12.
Installation and sizing of the expansion tank must
consider heating systems total water volume,
temperature, boiler initial fill pressure, and system
arrangement. Improperly installed and sized expansion
tank may result in frequent lifting of the safety
relief valve or other heating system problems. For
proper installation, sizing, and maintenance of the
expansion tank follow guidelines established by tank
manufacturer.
13. Expansion tank performance and life expectancy can
be hindered by overfilling the boiler. Recommend initial
fill pressure of 10-12 psig. For higher fill pressures
expansion tank's air charge will need to be increased to
match fill pressure. Consult manufacturer's guidelines
for sizing and selection.
14. Purging the heating system of air and gases when
first putting boiler into service is critical for proper
circulation and quiet performance. Once air and gases
are purged, for boiler installations using float type
vents, air vents should be closed for normal operation.
If air is heard or noticed by loss of heat, purge system
and open vents for short period of time.

EXAMPLE 2: Boiler Located in Confined Space
Asphyxiation, fire hazard. Do not obstruct air
openings to combustion area. Follow instructions
below, to maintain adequate combustion air.
Install outside air intake if you use fireplace or
kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan. These devices rob
boiler and water heater of combustion air.
Provide enough fresh air to assure proper combustion.
Fire in the boiler uses oxygen. It must have continuous
supply. Air in the house contains only enough oxygen to
supply burner for short time. Outside air must enter the
house to replace air used by the burner, Study the following
examples 1 and 2 to determine your fresh air requirements.
EXAMPLE 1: Boiler Located in Unconfined Space
If your boiler is in an open area (un-partitioned basement)
in conventional house, air that leaks through cracks around
doors and windows will usually be adequate to provide air
for combustion. Doors should not fit tightly. Do not caulk
cracks around windows.
An unconfined space is defined as space whose volume is
not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour of total
input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
A, All Air from Inside the Building: Confined
space shall be provided with two permanent openings
communicating directly with additional room(s) of sufficient
volume so the combined volume of all spaces meets the
criteria for unconfined space. Total input of all combustion
equipment installed in combined space shall be considered
in making this determination. Each opening shall have
minimum free area of one square inch per 1,000 Btu per
hour of total input rating of all combustion equipment in the
confined space, but not less than 100 square inches. One
opening shall be within 12 inches of top and one within 12
inches of bottom of the enclosure.
Example: Your boiler is rated at 100,000 Btu per hour,
Water heater is rated at 30,000 Btu per hour, Total is
130,000 Btu per hour, You need two grilles, each with 130
square inches of FREEopening. Metal grilles have about
60% FREEopening. To find Iouvered area needed, multiply
free opening required by 1.7 (130 x 1.7 = 221.0 sq. in.
Iouvered area). In this example, two grilles each having 8"
x 30" (240 sq. in.) Iouvered area would be used.

B,
All Air from Outdoors: Confined space shall
be provided with two permanent openings, one
commencing within 12 inches of top and commencing
within 12 inches of bottom of enclosure. Openings
shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with outdoors
or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with
outdoors.
1. When directly communicating with outdoors, each
opening shall have minimum free area of one
3. When communicating with outdoors through
horizontal ducts, each opening shall have
minimum free area of one square inch per 2,000
Btu per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure.
4. When ducts are used, they shall be of same cross
sectional area as free area of openings to which
they connect. Minimum dimension of rectangular
air ducts shall be not less than three inches.
square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour of total input
rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
2. When communicating with outdoors through
vertical ducts, each opening shall have minimum
free area of one square inch per 4,000 Btu per
hour of total input rating of all equipment in the
enclosure.

,
Installation of boiler for new heating system,
Install all of radiation units (panels, radiators,
baseboard, or tubing) and supply and return mains
first. After all heating system piping and components
have been installed, make final connection of system
piping to boiler. It is recommended to mount circulating
pump on supply side piping, such that it pumps away
from expansion tank. Refer to figures on next pages.
,
Equip hot water boiler installed above radiation
level with low water cut off device. Periodic inspection
is necessary, as is flushing of float type devices, per
low water cut off manufacturer's specific instructions.
,
Packaged boiler is set up with 1¼" NPT supply
and return piping from front of boiler. Boiler supply
and return piping can be moved to rear of boiler. Boiler
should not be piped return line to front, supply line
to rear, or vice versa, will cause boiler water to short
circuit heat exchanger. Piping connections may require
additional fittings and parts.
,
Install drain valve provided with boiler in return tee.
See figure 6.
,
Install Safety Relief valve in rear section using ¾"
nipple and street elbow provided with boiler. See figure
3.
A. Install safety relief valve with spindle in vertical
position.
B. Do not install shutoff valve between boiler and
safety relief valve.
C. Install discharge piping from safety relief valve.
• Use 3/4"or larger pipe.
• Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F
(191°C) or greater.
• Individual boiler discharge piping shall be
independent of other discharge piping.
• Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid
reducing safety relief valve relieving capacity
below minimum relief valve capacity stated on
rating plate.
• Run pipe as short and straight as possible to
location protecting user from scalding and properly
drain piping.
• Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve
outlet.
• Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve
outlet and downstream of union (if used).
• Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).
,
Verify clean cold water supply is available when
connecting to pressure reducing valve. When water
supply is from well or pump, a sand strainer should be
installed at the pump.
Low Design Water Temperature Systems (Below 140 °
F) And Large Water Content Systems
• Significant condensation may form in this boiler and/
or venting system if boiler is operated with return
temperatures of less than 120°F.
• Condensation is corrosive and can eventually cause
damage to boiler and venting system. Minimum design
return water temperature to prevent this condensation in
boiler and venting is 120°F.
• Boiler used in heating system where design water
temperatures below 140°F are desired (e.g. radiant floor
heating), a 3=way or 4=way mixing valve or suitable
alternative (e.g. Bypass Piping Arrangement shown
in diagram on following page) is required to prevent
low temperature (below return 120°F) return water
from entering boiler. When using mixing valve, follow
manufacturer's installation instructions.
• Boiler connected to system having large water content
(such as former gravity system), use of Bypass Piping
Arrangement shown in diagram on following page is
suggested.
