The CSD-1 ASME Code, Section CW-400 requires that hot
water heating and supply boilers have a) a UL 353 temperature
control device, b) at least one (1) temperature-actuated control
to shut o the fuel supply when system water reaches a preset
operating temperature, c) a high temperature limit control that
prevents the water temperature from exceeding the maximum
allowable temperature by causing a safety shutdown and
lockout, and d) its own sensing element and operating switch.
The temperature control system integrated into the 926
control provided with this heating appliance complies with
the requirements of CSD-1 Section CW-400 as a temperature
operation control. The control monitors the temperature
dierence between the inlet and the outlet sensor, which is
aected by boiler water ow. If this temperature dierence
exceeds 55°F (typically because of low water ow or very low
heat load), the control will reduce the maximum fan speed.
If the temperature dierence exceeds 60°F, the control will
eectively sense there is little or no water ow or heat load and
shut the boiler down. The controller will restart automatically
once the temperature dierence has dropped below 55°F and
the minimum o time (anti-cycle time) has expired. In addition,
if the control senses that the outlet water temperature has
reached 210°F, the boiler is put into a hard lockout and requires
manual reset to restart.

Part 2 - Before You Start
VWH units must be connected to a storage tank. You must not
have a direct connection of the potable water system into the
heat exchanger. This could cause ow issues, short cycling,
and an increase of mineral build-up in the unit. This system is
designed to have incoming potable water ow through the
storage tank rst, then through the heat exchanger. Damages
resulting from incorrect installation or from use of products not
approved by HTP, Inc. ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Remove all sides of the shipping crate of the boiler.
A. What’s in the Box

• CSD-1 Form
• H-3 Data Sheet
B. How the Boiler Operates
Elite Premier VWH® condensing technology intelligently
delivers large amounts of hot water while maximizing
eciency. Outlined below are the features of the system and
how they operate:
Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
The highly ecient stainless steel heat exchanger is designed
to use the cold water return from the storage tank and extract
the last bit of heat before it is exhausted.
Modulating Combustion System
The combustion system modulates the output of the burner
during operation to match system demand and achieve
the control set point while in operation. The set point can
change by internal or external signals to enhance the overall
performance of the system.
Control
The integrated control system monitors the system and
regulates fan speed to control boiler output. This allows the
boiler to deliver only the amount of heat energy required and
nothing more.
The control can regulate the output of multiple boilers
through its cascade system function. The cascade system is
capable of connecting up to eight boilers together in such a
way that they function as one boiler system. This allows for
greater turn down ratios and provides systematic control of
the multiple boilers in an installation to minimize downtime
and maximize eciency.
The cascade system works by establishing one boiler as the
master and the other connected boilers as followers. The
master boiler requires a sensor to provide feedback on set
point temperature in order to adjust heating input from the
connected boilers. Each cascaded boiler will have its own
pump to provide maximum ow and control heat exchanger
ow rate.
Text Display and Operational LED Light Indicators
The display allows the user to change system parameters and
monitor system outputs.
Gas Valve
Senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to ow only if
powered and combustion air is owing.
All Metal Integrated Venturi
Controls air and gas ow into the burner.
Burner
The high grade stainless steel burner uses premixed air and
gas to provide a wide range of ring rates.
Spark Ignition
The burner is ignited by applying high voltage through the
system spark electrode. The spark from the electrode ignites
mixed gas o of the burner.
Supply Water Temperature Sensor
This sensor monitors the boiler outlet water temperature
(System Supply). The control adjusts boiler ring rate so the
supply temperature will match the boiler set point.
Return Water Temperature Sensor
This sensor monitors boiler return water temperature (System
Return).
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 7
Flue Sensor
Monitors ue temperature and adjusts ring rate.
Temperature and Pressure Gauge
Allows the user to monitor system temperature and pressure.
Electrical eld connections with terminal strips
The electrical cover allows easy access to the clearly marked
line voltage and low voltage terminal strips to facilitate wiring
the boiler.
Condensate Collection System
This boiler is a high eciency appliance and will produce
condensate. The condensate collection system has a oat
which monitors condensate level and prevents condensate
from backing up into the combustion system. Inside the
collection system is a built in trap which seals the combustion
system from the connected drain. This condensate should be
neutralized to avoid damage to the drainage system or piping.
Flow Protection
The supplied ow switch is designed to protect the boiler
during low ow conditions. The boiler control also monitors
ow through the heat exchanger by monitoring the return
and supply sensors and will shut down the burner before
overheating occurs.
0-10 Volt Input
Allows the installer to connect a BMS (Building Management
System) to control the boiler.
Condensate Flue Check System
The check system prevents heat exchanger exhaust from
backing up into the cabinet.
Pump Service Mode
Allows manual operation of pumps to commission system and
check pump operation.
C. Optional Equipment
Optional equipment available from HTP (and Part #):
212, 399 Model - 7350P-611)
NOTE: When using an optional system sensor, pipe insulation
must be wrapped around it to improve temperature
measurement accuracy and increase overall system eciency.
Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the boiler to be
moved into its installation location. The boiler is also equipped
with leveling feet that can be used to level the boiler properly on
an uneven location surface. If surface ooring is rough, take care
when moving the boiler into position, as catching the leveling
feet could damage the boiler.
COLD WEATHER HANDLING - If the boiler has been stored in a
very cold location (BELOW 0oF) before installation, handle with
care until the components come to room temperature. Failure
to do so could result in damage to the boiler.
Carefully consider installation when determining boiler location.
Please read the entire manual before attempting installation.
Failure to properly take factors such as boiler venting, piping,
condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation
could result in wasted time, money, and possible property
damage and personal injury.
A. Locating the Boiler
This boiler is certied for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL
OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by
warranty. Failure to install the boiler indoors could result in
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the
heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the
installation location adheres to the information included in this
manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious
personal injury, or death. Failure of boiler or components due
to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product
warranty.
This boiler must be installed upright in the vertical position as
described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this boiler
in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper boiler
operation and property damage, and could result in serious
personal injury or death.
1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
• Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32
and lower than 104oF / 40oC
• Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by the
products, places, and conditions listed in this manual

2. Check for nearby connections to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
• Condensate drain
3. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline, and other ammable liquids.
Failure to keep the boiler area clear and free of combustible
materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such
as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat
exchanger, are directly inuenced by proximity to damp and
salty marine environments. In such areas higher concentration
levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity
can lead to degradation of boiler components. In these
environments, boilers must not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers
must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air
will have a much lower relative humidity, and hence potential
corrosion will be minimized.
High heat sources (generating heat 100oF / 37oC or greater,
such as boiler ue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage
plastic components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipe
materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high
heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions,
as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,
regulations, and ordinances when installing this boiler and
related components near high heat sources.
Locate the boiler where any leakage from the relief valve,
related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage
to surrounding areas or lower oors of the building. The boiler
should be located near a oor drain or installed in a drain pan.
Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of the boiler or components due to incorrect operating
conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from
dripping water during operation and service.
5. If the boiler is to replace an existing boiler, check for and
correct any existing system problems, such as:
• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and boiler to freeze
and leak
• Incorrectly sized expansion tank
6. Clean and ush system when reinstalling a boiler.
NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may
not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is
recommended to make note of the boiler model and serial
number.
Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall. Mount to the studs
only.
Use extreme care not to drop the boiler or cause bodily injury
while lifting or mounting the boiler onto the optional wall
mount bracket.
Gas conversion should be performed BEFORE the boiler is
installed. Carefully follow the gas conversion instructions
when performing the conversion.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
B. Flooring
Assure that the oor and structure of the installation location
are sucient to support the full installed weight of the
boiler, including water content of the heat exchanger and
related piping. Failure to ensure the oor and structure of the
installation location are structurally sound before installation
of the boiler can result in structural failure, substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
This boiler is approved for installation on combustible
ooring, but must never be installed on carpeting. Installing
this boiler on carpeting could result in re, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
C. Leveling
In order for the condensate to properly ow out of the
collection system, the area where you locate the boiler must
be level. Location must also fully support the weight of the
lled boiler.

D. Clearances for Service Access
Figure 2 - Recommended Service Clearances
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown
in Figure 2 it might not be possible to service the boiler without
removing it from the space.
NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable
front clearance.
Minimum Clearances from Combustible Materials
• Hot water pipes - at least 1” from combustible materials
• Exhaust vent pipe - at least 1” from combustible
materials
likely to form condensate in the vent) and requires a special vent
system designed for pressurized venting.
NOTE: The venting options described here (and further
detailed in the Venting section, this manual) are the lone
venting options approved for this boiler. Failure to vent the
boiler in accordance with the provided venting instructions
will void the warranty.
Failure to vent the boiler properly will result in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not attempt to vent this boiler by any means other than
those described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty
and may result in severe personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Boiler exhaust and intake
connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent
support brackets must be within 1’ of the boiler and the balance
at 4’ intervals. Boiler must be readily accessible for visual
inspection for rst 3’ from the boiler. Failure to properly support
vents could result in property damage, severe personal injury,
or death.
The exhaust discharged by this boiler may be very hot. Avoid
touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases of the
vent termination assembly. Doing so could result in severe
personal injury or death.
The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air
openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the
same space as the boiler. The boiler cover must be securely
fastened to prevent the boiler from drawing air from the
boiler room. This is particularly important if the boiler is in a
room with other appliances. Failure to comply with the above
warnings could result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
All boilers eventually leak. It is recommended to install a
catch pan beneath the boiler. This catch pan should be sized
with a maximum depth of 2”, and a minimum diameter 2”
greater than the diameter of the boiler. The catch pan should
empty into an open drain line. This drain line should be 3/4”
ID minimum, piped to an open drain. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage. Such damages
ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
E. Residential Garage Installation
Precautions
If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
• Install the boiler burner and ignition devices a minimum of 18” above the oor of the garage. This will
ensure the burner and ignition devices are well o the
oor.
• When raising the boiler ensure the entire bottom and
fully lled weight of the boiler are fully supported.
• Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged
by a moving vehicle.
F. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe
The boiler is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent,
1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn
from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake and exhaust
must terminate outdoors. There are three basic direct vent
options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof
Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.
Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and
intake piping can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Dierent vent terminals can be used to simplify and
eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure (see
Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust vent and
intake piping lengths, routing, and termination methods must
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 10

all comply with the methods and limits given in the Venting
Section, this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care
must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. To
prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
2. Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned Space
This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation
and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is
adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent
combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space
has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or
louver to supply sucient combustion air based on the boiler
input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the boiler.
If the boiler is installed in areas where indoor air is contaminated
(see Table 2) it is imperative that the boiler be installed as
direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the
outdoors into the boiler intake connection.
Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total
input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space through openings not
furnished with doors are considered part of the space. See
Venting Section for details.
Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating
of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms
connected directly to this space through openings not furnished
with doors are considered part of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally
constructed building to a conned space, such space should be
provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm)
below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space
oor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch
2
per 1,000 BTU/hr (22cm
/kW) of the total input of all appliances
in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2).
If the conned space is within a building of tight construction, air
for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined
in the Venting section of this manual.
When drawing combustion air from the outside into the
mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate
freeze protection.
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can
cause poisonous ue gases to enter the living space, resulting
in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air
contamination, see Table 2.
G. Prevent Combustion Air Contamination
Install intake air piping for the boiler as described in the Venting
Section, this manual. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that
can allow contamination of intake air.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the
contaminants in Table 2. Contaminated air will damage the
boiler, resulting in possible substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death. For example, do not pipe
intake air near a swimming pool or laundry facilities. These
areas always contain contaminants.
H. Removing a Boiler from a Common Vent System
Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other
appliance. This will cause ue gas spillage or appliance
malfunction, resulting in possible substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in ue gas spillage
and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal
injury or death.
When removing an existing boiler, follow the steps below.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage,
corrosion, or other deciencies that could cause an unsafe
condition.

Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to
the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed.
Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all replace
dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the
lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance
will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5
minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a match
or candle or smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system properly vents
when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers, and any other gas burning appliances to
their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system
should be corrected to conform to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common
venting system, the system should approach the minimum
size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix
G of ANSI Z223.1.
• Sodium less than 20 mGL
• Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0
• Maintain water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with
litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by water
treatment company.
• If the pH diers from above, consult local water
treatment for treatment needed.
• Hardness less than 7 grains
• Consult local water treatment companies for unusually
hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).
• Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm
• Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as
levels are typically less than 5 ppm.
• Do not connect the boiler to directly heat swimming
pool or spa water.
• Do not ll boiler or operate with water containing
chlorine in excess of 100 ppm.
*NOTE: It is recommended to clean the heat exchanger at
least once a year to prevent lime scale buildup. To clean the
heat exchanger, follow the maintenance procedure in this

Figure 3 - CO Warning Label
I. Water Chemistry Requirements*
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may aect eciency
and cause severe damage to the boiler and associated
equipment. HTP recommends having water quality
professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary
to install a water softener. It is important that the water
chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating
sides are checked before installing the boiler, as water quality
will aect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating
temperatures above 140oF will cause the boiler to operate
continuously, accelerating the build-up of lime scale and
possibly shortening the service life of the boiler. Failure of a
boiler due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical
imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

Part 4 - Piping
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the
warranty and may result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Dielectric unions or galvanized steel ttings must not be used
in a system with this boiler. Doing so WILL VOID the warranty.
Use only copper, brass, or stainless steel ttings. Teon thread
sealant must be used on all connections.
DO NOT pipe this boiler with black iron, galvanized steel, steel,
or lead pipe. Doing so will result in premature product failure
and property damage, and WILL VOID the warranty.
Plumbing of this product should only be done by a qualied,
licensed plumber in accordance with all local plumbing codes.
The boiler is designed to be connected to a storage tank to
supply domestic hot water. HTP oers 60/80/119/175 gallon size
storage tanks in either stainless steel or glass-lined construction.
These storage tanks will be directly connected to the boiler
supply and return connection.
A. General Plumbing Information
The building piping system must meet or exceed the the piping
requirements in this manual.
Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at boiler. Use
one wrench to prevent the boiler return or supply line from
turning. Failure to prevent piping connections from turning
could cause damage to boiler components.
NOTE: The addition of a high temperature limiting device is
important if the boiler is to be connected to a domestic hot
water system.
Connect the cold water supply to both the storage bottom
port and the supply side of the boiler (shown in Applications,
this manual). It is important that you install a ow check on
the supply line of the boiler BEFORE connecting the feed line
to the storage tank. This allows the cold feed to ow through
the storage tank rst. It is recommended that you install shut
o valves on the cold feed line for future ease of service. If there
is a back ow preventer or any type of no return valve in the
system, then you must install an additional tee for a suitable
potable hot water expansion tank. Connect the storage tank
return line to the return connection located on the boiler (shown
in Applications, this manual). Then connect the storage tank hot
water outlet to the hot water plumbing lines.
B. Relief Valve
Connect discharge piping to a safe disposal location following
the guidelines below.
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
• Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet
and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the
discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of
severe burns or property damage should the relief valve
discharge.
• Discharge line must be as short as possible and
the same size as the valve discharge connection
throughout its entire length.
• Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve
and terminate at least 6” above the oor drain, making
discharge clearly visible.
• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded,
with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375
or greater.
• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing
could occur.
• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and
boiler or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any
obstruction in the discharge line.
• Test the operation of the relief valve after lling and
pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure
the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate
correctly, immediately replace with a new properly
rated relief valve.
• Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the
waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the
boiler “o” and call a plumber immediately.
• Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid
scalding injury or property damage.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES
COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION,
RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief
valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property
damage, serious injury, or death may result.
RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves
should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE
YEARS, and replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing
contractor or qualied service technician to ensure that the
product has not been aected by corrosive water conditions
and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been
altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring
conditions may corrode the valve and its components over
time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can
only be detected if the valve and its components are physically
removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor
for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED
COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR
PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

C. Backow Preventer
Use a backow preventer specically designed for boiler
installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water
ll supply line per local codes.
D. Potable Expansion Tank
A potable hot water expansion tank is required to oset
heated water expansion. In most city plumbing systems, the
water meter has a no return or back ow device built into
the system to prevent back owing of water into city mains.
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 15
15
Some local codes require back ow preventers on all incoming
water supplies. The hot water expansion tank must be listed
for potable water use. The expansion tank should be located
on the cold inlet piping close to the boiler.
Expansion Tank and Make-Up Water
1. Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to correctly handle
boiler and system water volume and temperature.
Expansion tanks must be sized according to total system
volume. This includes all length of pipe, all xtures, boilers,
etc. Failure to properly size for system expansion could result
in wasted time, money, possible property damage, serious
injury, or death.
Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost
from the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added.
Eventual boiler failure can result due to excessive makeup water addition. SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
DO NOT install automatic air vents on closed type expansion
tank systems. Air must remain in the system and return to the
tank to provide an air cushion. An automatic air vent would
cause air to leave the system, resulting in improper operation
of the expansion tank.
The expansion tank must be suitable for hot potable water
systems.
F. Flow Switch Installation
1. Choosing the correct ow paddle.
The boiler comes with a ow switch and four ow paddles. Use
the table below to determine which paddle to use with the boiler.
VWH ModelPaddle Size

2. The expansion tank must be located as shown in
Applications, this manual, or following recognized design
methods. See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for
details.
E. Circulators
Every VWH system requires special attention to circulator size
to overcome pressure drop through the boiler and its related
piping. All circulators installed on the VWH system must be
designed for potable water installations. Boiler pressure drop
is detailed in this manual.
Water temperature above 140oF requires the circulator to run
continuously. Water hardness must be between 5 and 7 grains.
Hardness above 7 grains will damage the heat exchanger and
shorten the service life of the boiler.
DO NOT use the boiler circulator in any location other than
the ones shown in this manual. The boiler circulator location
is selected to ensure adequate ow through the boiler.
Failure to comply with this caution could result in unreliable
performance and nuisance shutdowns from insucient ow.
4. Thread ow switch into outlet combination tting using pipe
dope, making certain the FLOW arrow points in the correct
direction.
5. Thread relief valve into outlet combination tting using pipe
dope.
6. Thread temperature and pressure gauge into outlet
combination tting using pipe dope.

7. Connect red wire from ow switch to boiler wire harness.
8. When installation is complete, power up the boiler and
program set point. *Please note that these illustrations are
meant only to demonstrate installation. The installer is
responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local
codes.
G. Scalding
This boiler can deliver
scalding water at any
faucet in the system.
Be careful whenever
using hot water to
avoid scalding injury.
Certain appliances
such as dishwashers
and automatic clothes
washers may require
increased water
temperatures. By
setting the thermostat
on this boiler to obtain
the increased water
temperature required
by these appliances you
may create the potential
for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the
water system. This valve will reduce point of use discharge
temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply
lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing
supplier.
Table 5 details the relationship of water temperature and
time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in
determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

H. High Velocity Circulator Pump
Every VWH system requires special attention to pump size in
order to overcome pressure drop through the boiler and its
related piping. All circulators installed on the VWH system
must be designed for a potable water system.
In addition, the heat exchanger has a minimum total water
volume that must be taken into account when sizing the
circulator. Minimum ow rates are listed in the table below.

The chart below represents the combined ow rates and pipe sizes when using multiple boilers to design the manifold system for
the primary circuit. To size, simply add up the number of boilers and the required ow rates for the system design temperature.
Example: (5) 220 model boilers with a design of 20°Δt degree temperature rise with each boiler having an individual ow rate of
22 GPM. To correctly size the manifold feeding these (5) boilers you would need a pipe size of 4”.
Water temperature above 140oF requires the circulator pump to
run continuously and must have a water hardness of between
5 and 7 grains. Hardness above 7 grains will damage the heat
exchanger and shorten the service life of the boiler.
Water Chemistry*
• Sodium less than 20 mGL
• Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0
• Maintain water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with

I. Plumbing
The boiler is designed to function in an open loop hot water
supply system. We have included a temperature and pressure
gauge that allows the user to monitor the system pressure and
outlet temperature from the boiler. It is important to note that
the boiler has a minimal amount of pressure drop and must be
calculated when sizing the circulators.
Install the boiler so the gas ignition system components
are protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.). Allow
clearance for basic service of boiler circulator, valves and other
components.
Observe the minimum 1” clearance around all uninsulated hot
water pipes when openings around pipes are not protected by
non-combustible materials.
Basic steps are listed below, with illustration that will guide
you through the installation of the boiler.
1. Connect the system return marked “Boiler Return”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Boiler Supply”.
3. Install a circulator as shown in Applications (this manual).
Make sure the circulator is properly sized for the system and
friction loss.
4. Install an expansion tank on the system supply. Consult the
expansion tank manufacturer’s instruction manual (see Part 4,
Section D for water volume) for specic information relating
to expansion tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the
required system volume and capacity.
5. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system. Note:
The boiler cannot be drained completely of water without
purging the unit with an air pressure of 15 PSI.
6. The relief valve and temperature and pressure gauge are
included in the accessory kit. A discharge line should be
installed 6” above the drain in the event of a pressure relief.

Part 5 - Venting and Condensate Removal
The boiler must be vented as detailed in this section.
Ensure exhaust vent and intake piping complies with these
instructions regarding vent system. Inspect nished exhaust
vent and intake piping thoroughly to ensure all joints are
well secured, airtight, and comply with all applicable code
requirements, as well as the instructions provided in this
manual. Failure to properly install the vent system will result
in severe personal injury or death.
A. General
This boiler is certied as a “Category IV” appliance and
requires a special venting system. The vent system will
operate with a positive pressure in the pipe. Exhaust gases
must be piped directly outdoors using the vent materials
and rules outlined in these instructions. Do not connect vent
connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft into
any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under
positive pressure. Follow the venting instructions carefully.
Failure to do so will result in substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
1. Installation should be made in accordance with the
regulations of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, local code
authorities, and utility companies which pertain to this type
of water heating equipment.
2. Install the venting system in accordance with these
instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, CAN/CGA B149, and / or applicable provisions of
local building codes.
3. This boiler must be vented with materials, components,
and systems listed and approved for Category IV appliances.
Exhaust and intake are to be piped separately. This boiler
cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple
appliances. Failure to follow these instructions will result
in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
NOTE: To avoid contamination often contained in indoor
air, it is best to pipe all intake combustion air directly to the
outdoors.
NOTE: If exhaust vent pipe system passes through an
unheated space such as an alcove or attic, the space must be
heated or the pipe must be insulated. The insulation must have
an R value sucient to prevent freezing of the condensate.
Improper seating of vent pipe gaskets can cause eventual
gasket failure and exhaust gas leakage. Ensure the exhaust
vent pipe is properly beveled and seated before insertion
into the ue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
For closet and alcove installations: CPVC, polypropylene, or
stainless steel venting material MUST BE USED. Failure to
follow this statement could result in product damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
21
Due to the extreme ammability of most glues, cements,
solvents, and primers used to join plastic exhaust vent and
intake pipes, explosive solvent vapors must be cleared from
all vent piping before start-up. Avoid using excess cement
or primer, as this may pool in the vent pipes. Vent assemblies
should be allowed to cure for a period of at least 8 hours
before powering a connected appliance. Failure to follow these
instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death. It is the installers’ responsibility to
understand the hazards associated with explosive solvents and
take the necessary precautions to avoid these risks.
DO NOT insulate the rst 3 feet of the exhaust vent. CPVC,
Polypropylene, or Stainless Steel pipe material MUST be used
for the rst 3 feet of the vent run if the exhaust vent is insulated
or passes through an enclosed space greater than 6”, such as a
wall. The balance of the vent run can be installed with standard
Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Failure to comply with this warning could
result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Exhaust vent adaptors are not designed as load-bearing
devices, and must not be used to support exhaust vent piping.
All vent pipes must be properly connected, supported, and
the exhaust vent must be pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot
back to the boiler to allow drainage of condensate. Failure to
properly support vent piping and follow the information in this

objectionable.
• DO NOT locate exhaust vent or intake pipe in a parking area
where machinery may damage the pipe.
• DO NOT locate the exhaust vent or intake pipe terminals under
a porch, balcony, or veranda.
• Avoid terminating exhaust vents near shrubs, air conditioners,
or other objects that will obstruct the exhaust stream.
• DO NOT vent over a public walkway. Condensate could drip or
freeze and create a nuisance or hazard.
• NOTE: Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting
may not be the preferred venting option. Carefully consider
venting installation and location to save time and cost.
INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA
NOTE: Canadian installation must comply with the CAN/CSA B149.1
code and applicable local codes and supersede the restrictions for the

E. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Sizing
1. The exhaust vent and intake pipe size is 3” for 220 models and
4” for 299 - 399 models.
2. The maximum total equivalent length of exhaust vent and intake pipe should not exceed 200 feet.
a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees, and other ttings
are listed in the Friction Loss Table.

Equivalent Feet
3”4”6”
b. For example: If the exhaust vent is 3” in diameter, has two
90o elbows, and 10 feet of PVC pipe we will calculate:
Exhaust Vent Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 10 = 20 feet.
Further, if the 3” intake pipe has two 90o elbows, one 45o
elbow, and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation
applies:
Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 3 + 10 = 23 feet.
The total equivalent length is 43 feet, well below the
maximum of 200 feet.
c. Eort should be made to keep a minimum dierence in
equivalent length between the exhaust vent and intake pipe.
3. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet.
Do not exceed the maximum lengths for vent pipes. Excessive
length could result in boiler shutdown and property damage.
Failure to provide a minimum total vent length of 16 equivalent
feet could result in property damage and improper product
operation.
F. Longer Vent Runs
The maximum total equivalent length can be extended by
increasing the diameter of both the exhaust vent and intake
pipes equally. However, the transitions should begin a minimum
of 16 equivalent feet from the boiler. Transitions should always
be made in vertical sections of pipe to prevent the condensate
from pooling in the vent pipe.
The maximum equivalent length for increased diameter vent
pipes is 275 ft, which includes 16 ft from with boiler with a
transition total of 259 ft upsize piping for longer vent runs.

Total maximum equivalent length of increased diameter
exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed the lengths
dened in this manual. Failure to keep the total equivalent
length below the maximum lengths determined in this
manual will result in faulty boiler operation, substantial
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Installation
All joints of positive pressure vent systems must be sealed
completely to prevent leakage of ue products into the living
space. Failure to do so could result in property damage,
serious injury, or death.
1. Use only solid PVC, CPVC, or stainless steel pipe or a
Polypropylene vent system approved for use with Category IV
appliances.
FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED FOR EXHAUST
VENT APPLICATIONS. Foam core piping may be used on air
inlet piping only.
2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and ttings.
3. When using PVC or CPVC pipe, all joints must be properly
cleaned, primed, and cemented. Use only cement and primer
approved for use with the pipe material. Cement must
conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC and ASTM F493 for CPVC
pipe. NOTE: DO NOT CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE PIPE.
4. Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to
prevailing winds.
5. In all roof venting applications, exhaust discharge must
point away from the pitch of the roof.
6. If the exhaust vent is to be terminated in a walled o area
(such as a roof with a parapet wall), ensure the exhaust vent
terminates a minimum of 10’ from nearest wall and extends
level with or above the top of the wall. This will ensure ue gas
does does not get trapped and possibly recirculated into the
intake air pipe, which could contaminate the combustion air.
7. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof ashing
where the pipe enters the roof.
8. Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways, or
parking lots. Condensate could drip and freeze, resulting in a
slip hazard or damage to vehicles and machinery.
9. Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may

not be the preferred venting option. To save time and cost,
6/23/15
TWO PIPE SIDEWALL VENTING WITH TEE (INTAKE)
AND COUPLING (EXHAUST)
carefully consider venting installation and location.
10. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards
the boiler not less than ¼” per foot to allow condensate to
drain from the vent pipe.
11. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot
make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage
shrubs or plants.
12. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap
over existing chimney openings.
13. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a
minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent sagging of the pipe
where condensate may form.
14. Do not use the boiler to support any piping.
15. Ensure the outdoor exhaust vent termination is screened
to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.
16. Ensure the outdoor intake pipe termination is screened to
prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.

H. Applications
1. Direct Vent Installation of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be
drawn from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake, and
exhaust must terminate outside. There are three basic direct
vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2.
Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.
Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and
intake pipe can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Dierent vent terminals can be used to simplify
and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure
(see Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust
vent and intake pipe lengths, routing and termination
methods must all comply with the methods and limits given
in the Venting section of this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care
must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air.
NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
Take extra precaution to adequately support the weight of
vent pipes terminating through the roof. Failure to properly
support roof terminated piping could result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
Figure 13 - Two Pipe Roof and Sidewall Venting
NOTE: These drawings are meant to demonstrate system
venting only. The installer is responsible for all equipment and
detailing required by local codes.
All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the
exhaust pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot back to the boiler to
allow drainage of condensate. When placing support brackets
on vent piping, the rst bracket must be within 1 foot of the
boiler and the balance of 4 foot intervals on the vent pipe.
Venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection from
the rst three feet from the boiler.

pipe. Venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection
from the rst three feet from the boiler.
An unbalanced vent system can be installed ONLY when the
exhaust is in the vertical position. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury or death.
2. Venting Through an Existing System
This boiler may be vented through an existing unused vent
system. The inner diameter of the existing vent system is
utilized for the combustion air source. Two methods have
been approved for such venting: Concentric Venting Through
an Existing System and Venting as a Chase.
27
Contractors must check state and local codes before installing
through an existing vent opening. State and local codes always
take precedence over manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to
check state and local codes before installing through an existing
opening could result in property damage and add signicantly
to installation costs.
If an existing venting system is converted for use with this boiler,
the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is
clean and free from particulate contamination that could
damage the boiler. Failure to do so could result in property
damage and boiler failure. Such failure IS NOT covered under
warranty.
Concentric Venting Through an Existing System
NOTE: The following instructions refer only to venting through
an existing vent system, and not to venting with HTP’s optional
concentric vent kits. Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation
manual (LP-166) for further information on venting with the
optional concentric vent kits.
Concentric venting through an existing system must run
vertically through the roof. See Table 17 for proper minimum
vent sizing. Use only the approved venting materials specied
in Table 13 for piping the system. All instructions listed in this
Venting section apply. See Figures 17-1 and 17-2 for venting
demonstrations.
The upper and lower vent terminations as well as all joints in
the venting system must be properly sealed to ensure that all
combustion air is drawn properly and exhaust does not leak
from the system. Failure to properly seal the venting system
will result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Chase Venting Through an Existing System
When venting as a chase, follow all instructions included in this
Venting section, including those in the previous Concentric
Venting Through an Existing System section. See Figure 17-3 for
chase venting demonstration.

3. Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned Space
This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation
and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is
adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent
combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space
has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or
louver to supply sucient combustion air based on the boiler
input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the boiler. If the boiler is installed in areas where indoor air is
contaminated (see Figure 18) it is imperative that the boiler be
installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly
from the outdoors into the boiler intake connection.
Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total
input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.
Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input
rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally
constructed building to a conned space, such space should be
provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm)
below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space
oor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch
per 1,000 Btu/hr (22cm2/kW) of the total input of all appliances
in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2).
If the conned space is within a building of tight construction, air
for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined
in the Venting section of this manual. See Figure 19.

I. Condensate Removal System
NOTE: Check with your local gas company to determine if
combustion condensate disposal is permitted in your area. In
the state of Massachusetts, condensate must be neutralized
before entering a drain.
This boiler is a high eciency appliance, and therefore produces
condensate: a by-product of the combustion process. A
condensate collection system with an internal oat switch
monitors condensate level to prevent it from backing up into the
combustion system. There is a ¾” socket connection provided
to connect the outlet of the collection system to a drain or
condensate pump.
Condensate from the boiler is slightly acidic with a pH of 3.2 -
4.5. To avoid long term damage to the drainage system and to
meet local code requirements, HTP recommends neutralizing
condensate with a Condensate Neutralizer Kit (Part # 7450P212 for 80/110/150/220/299/301 models, Part # 7350P-611 for
the 399 model). The neutralizer kit connects to the drain system
and contains limestone chips that neutralize the pH level of the
condensate. The neutralizer kit should be checked annually and
the limestone chips replenished if necessary. When replacing
the limestone chips, take care to ensure chips are no smaller
than ½” to avoid blockage in condensate piping (refer to Figure
20 for piping of the condensate neutralizer.)
Figure 19 - Indoor and Outdoor Combustion Air - Single Pipe
Figure 20 - Condensate Piping
NOTES:
1. Condensate line must be pitched at least ¼” per foot to
properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length
of condensate hose is used, increase the condensate line to a
minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate
neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.
2. PVC or CPVC pipe should be the only material used for
condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, and other metals will be
subject to corrosion or deterioration.
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 30
30
3. A frozen condensate line could result in a blocked vent
condition. It is very important to protect the condensate line from
freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. In installations
that may encounter sustained freezing conditions, the use of
heat tape is recommended to avoid freezing of the condensate
line. It is also recommended to bush up the condensate line size
to 1” and terminate condensate discharge as close to the unit as
possible. Longer condensate runs are more prone to freezing.
Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT
covered by warranty.
4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid
blockage of the condensate ow.
5. To allow proper drainage on longer horizontal condensate
runs, tubing size may need to increase to 1” and a second line
vent may be required.
NOTE: To clean out condensate trap, see Maintenance section.
The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to
freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate
can exit from the boiler tee, resulting in potential water damage
to property. When installing a condensate pump, select one
approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The
condensate pump should have an overow switch to prevent
property damage from spillage. Condensate from the boiler will
be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing lter
if required by local codes.
Is is very important that condensate piping be no smaller than
1/2”. Use a tee at the condensate connection with a branch
vertically up and open to the atmosphere to prevent a vacuum
that could obstruct the ow of condensate from the boiler. To
prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate piping should
be supported with pipe supports.
When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for
use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The pump should
have an overow switch to prevent property damage from
condensate spillage.
Power to the optional condensate pump is continuous. When
the boiler is powered o the condensate pump will remain on.
It is important to remember to turn o the condensate pump
when powering down the boiler. Failure to do so could result in
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Part 6 - Wiring
To avoid electrical shock, turn o all power to the boiler prior
to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power
remains o while any wiring connections are being made.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or
product failure, serious injury, or death. Such product failure IS
NOT covered by warranty.
Jumping out control circuits or components WILL VOID product
warranty and can result in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
It is of extreme importance that this unit be properly
grounded. It is very important that the building system
ground is inspected by a qualied electrician prior to making
this connection. Electrical power must only be turned on
when the boiler is completely lled with cold water. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in component or
product failure, serious injury, or death.
Electrical Shock Hazard - Turn o electrical power supply
at service entrance panel before making any electrical
connections. Failure to follow do do so could result in serious
injury, or death.
Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing
the boiler. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
property damage or personal injury.
Wiring must be NEC Class 1. If original wiring supplied with
the boiler must be replaced, use only TEW 105 oC wire or
equivalent. Boiler must be electrically grounded as required
by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - Latest
Edition.
A. Installation Must Comply With
1. National Electrical Code and any other national, state,
provincial, or local codes or regulations.
2. In Canada, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and
any local codes.

C. Field Wiring
The control used in the boiler is capable of directly controlling
1 pump in standard mode and 2 pumps when congured as
a cascade master boiler. As a standard unit, each pump can
provide a maximum of 3 amps at 120 volts. If a pump requires
more than this amount of power, an external contactor or
motor starter is needed. If the boiler is congured as a cascade
master, the system pump output is a dry contact output
capable of switching 5 amps at 120 volts, in addition to the
boiler pump output sourcing 4 amps each.
The electrical junction box has separate, clearly marked
terminal strips for line voltage and low voltage wiring. Special
jacks are provided for trouble-free cascade system wiring
using standard CAT3 or CAT5 patch cables.

terminal strip in the electrical junction box at terminals 120V,
Neutral, Ground (shown in Figure 22).
2. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be required,
externally mounted and connected according to local codes
that may apply.
3. Connect the boiler pump as shown in Figure 22 to the
terminals marked 1 – (HOT), 2 – (NEUT), and 3 – (GND). The
connections shown are suitable for a maximum continuous
pump draw of 3 amps at 120 volts. If the pump requires more
current or voltage than the 120 volts supplied, an external
motor starter or contactor will be required.
E. Alarm Connections
The control includes a dry contact alarm output. This is an
SPDT circuit, rated at 5 amps at 120 volts. This contact can
be used to activate an alarm light or bell or notify a building
management system if the boiler goes into a lockout
condition. The circuit between the ALARM COM and NC
terminals is closed during normal operation and the circuit
Figure 22 - VWH Control Wiring
between ALARM COM and NO is open during normal operation.
The connections depicted in Figure 22 show two 120 volt lights
connected to the alarm terminals. One light will be on when the
boiler is in normal mode and the other light will be on when the
boiler is in lockout mode.
F. Low Voltage Connections for Standard Boiler
1. All low voltage cables should enter the electrical junction box
through the provided knock out holes as shown in Figure 21.
2. Connect all low voltage eld devices to the low voltage
terminal strip located in the electrical junction box.
G. Tank Sensor or Mechanical Control
Connect the tank sensor or mechanical controls to the TANK
SENSOR terminals (10, 11) of the low voltage terminal strip as
shown in Figure 22. The control will automatically determine
which type of sensor is connected and operate accordingly.
Failure to use the correct sensor may result in tank temperature
being either above or below set point, and could result in
decreased performance, substantial property damage, or
heightened risk of injury or death due to scalds.
Caution should be used to ensure neither of these terminals
becomes connected to ground.
NOTE: If sensor wires are located in an area with
sources of potential electromagnetic interference
(EMI), the sensor wires should be shielded, or the
wires routed in a grounded metal conduit. If using
shielded cable, the shielding should be connected to
the common ground of the boiler.
H. System / Pipe Sensor
The system/pipe
sensor can be
used to control
the temperature
of the storage
tank when a
tank sensor
or mechanical
control cannot
be mounted.
The system/pipe
sensor would
be wired into
the terminals of
the low voltage
terminal strip
as shown on
Figure 22. It is
important to
note that when
a system/pipe
sensor is used, the circulating pump must be wired to
operate continuously; otherwise the boiler will short
cycle.
The system/pipe sensor can also be used in a cascade
system when the sensor is placed on the supply line
of multiple boilers that feed the storage tank. This
will control the temperature and modulate the ring
rate of the connected boilers. The system/pipe sensor
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 32
32
would then be wired into the master boiler terminals on the
low voltage strip as shown on Figure 24.
NOTE: If sensor wires are located in an area with sources of
potential electromagnetic interference (EMI), the sensor
wires should be shielded, or the wires routed in a grounded
metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shielding should be
connected to the common ground of the boiler.
I. Optional 0-10 Volt Building Control Signal
1. A signal from a building management system may be
connected to the boiler to enable remote control. This signal
should be a 0-10 volt positive-going DC signal. When this input
is enabled using the installer menu, a building control system
can be used to control the set point temperature of the boiler.
The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the
signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the boiler will be in standby
mode, not ring. When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, the
boiler will ignite. As the signal continues to rise towards its
maximum of 10 volts, the boiler will increase in set point
temperature. See Part 10 for details on the setting of function
16.
2. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary
control signal to the terminals marked 16, 0-10 VOLT + and
17, 0-10 VOLT – in the electrical junction box (shown in Figure
22). Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT +
connection does not become connected to ground.
3. Move jumper on connection board (shown in Figure 24)
from A to B.
4. See Function 17 this manual to program the 0-10 volt signal.
NOTE: When a 0-10 volt building management system is
installed, the return sensor temperature cannot be monitored
through the appliance display.
J. Optional UL353 Low Water Cut-O Interface Kit
If an optional Low Water Cut-O (LWCO) Kit is used, the
LWCO probe should be mounted into the tting provided in
the outlet combination tting.
Follow the complete instructions included in the kit for proper
installation.
K. Wiring of Cascade System Communication Bus
1. A Cascade Bus Termination Plug has been installed on the
customer connection board of this boiler. The purpose of
this plug is to stabilize communication between multiple
boilers and reduce electrical “noise”. See Figures 23 and 24 for
Cascade Bus Termination Plug installation detail.
2. Use standard CAT3 or CAT5 computer network patch cables
to connect the communication bus between each of the
boilers. These cables are readily available at any oce supply,
computer, electronic, department or discount home supply
store in varying lengths. If you possess the skills you can also
construct custom length cables.
3. It is recommended to use the shortest length cable that will
reach between the boilers and create a neat installation. Do not
run unprotected cables across the oor where they may become
wet or damaged. Avoid running communication cables parallel
and close to or against high voltage (120 volt or greater) wiring.
HTP recommends that the maximum length of communication
bus cables not exceed 200 feet.
4. Route the communication cables through one of the
knockouts in the cabinet.
5. Connect the boilers in a daisy chain conguration as shown
below. It is best to wire the boilers using the shortest wire
runs rather than trying to wire them in the order that they are
addressed. The communication bus jacks on the customer
connection panel are interchangeable so you can use either one
or both in any order to connect the cable.
If you have connected the boilers to each other properly, there
will be no open communication connection ports.
L. Cascade Master Pump and Sensor Wiring
1. Connect the system pump hot wire to the terminal marked 8.
2. Connect the system pump neutral to the 2 terminal and the
pump ground wire to the 3 terminal.
3. Connect a jumper wire from the 120 VOLT terminal to the 9
terminal.
4. Connect the boiler pump to the terminals marked 1 (HOT), 2
(NEUT) and 3 (GND).
5. Connect system pipe sensor to terminals marked 10 and 11.
M. Cascade Follower Pump and Sensor Wiring
1. Connect the boiler pump to the terminals labeled 1 (HOT), 2
(NEUT), and 3 (GND).
2. An alarm bell or light can be connected to the alarm contacts
of the follower boiler. The normally closed alarm contact may be
used to turn a device o if the boiler goes into lockout mode. The
alarm contacts are rated 5 amps at 120 VAC.
To connect an alarm device, connect the power for the device to
the ALARM COM terminal. Connect the alarm device hot wire
to the ALARM NO terminal. Connect the neutral or return of the
alarm device to the neutral or return of the power for the alarm
device.
To connect a device that should be powered o during a boiler
lockout condition, follow the same instructions as above except
use the ALARM NC terminal rather than the ALARM NC terminal.
Note that in a cascade system the alarm output of the boiler
addressed as #1 will also be active if the master boiler has a
lockout condition. The alarm output of boilers addressed as 2-7
will only activate an alarm if a lockout condition occurs on that
specic boiler.

Part 7 - Gas Connections
Failure to follow all precautions could result in re, explosion,
severe injury, or death.
It is very important that you are connected to the type of
gas noted on the rating plate. “LP” for liqueed petroleum,
propane gas, or “NG” for natural or city gas. Do not do a gas
conversion without an approved gas conversion kit. Follow
the included instructions VERY carefully if converting the
boiler. Prior to turning the gas on, all gas connections must
be approved by the local gas supplier or utility, in addition to
the governing authority. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less
than 14” w.c. (3.5 kPa), and a minimum of 3.5” w.c. (.87 kPa).
The entire piping system, gas meter and regulator must be
sized properly to prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5” (.12
kPa) as stated in the National Fuel Gas Code. This information
is listed on the rating label.
35
Care must be taken when applying compound to prevent
blockage or obstruction of gas ow which may aect the
operation of the unit.
Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the boiler or its
accessories. The boiler gas valve and blower will not support the
weight of the piping. Make sure the gas piping is protected from
physical damage and freezing, where required. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in gas leakage, and result in re,
explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do not use Teon tape on gas line pipe thread. Use a pipe
compound rated for use with natural and propane gases. Apply
sparingly on male pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare
and ow unobstructed. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in gas leakage or blockage, and result in re, explosion,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
UL recognized fuel gas detectors are recommended in
all enclosed propane and natural gas applications where
there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to
accumulate. The installation of these detectors should
be made in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s
recommendations, and/or local laws. Failure to install fuel gas
detectors in these applications could result in re, explosion,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The gas connection on the boiler is 3/4” for 80/110/150 models
and 1” for 220/299/301/399 models. It is mandatory that this
tting is used for connection to a eld fabricated drip leg as
shown in the illustratioN per the National Fuel Gas Code. You
must ensure that the entire gas line to the connection at the
boiler is no smaller than the unit supplied connection.
Once all inspections have been performed, the piping must
be leak tested. If the leak test requirement is a higher test
pres¬sure than the maximum inlet pressure, you must isolate
the boiler from the gas line. In order to do this, shut the gas
o using factory and eld-installed gas cocks. This will prevent
high pressure. Failure to do so may damage the gas valve. In
the event the gas valve is exposed to a pressure greater than
½ PSI, 14” w.c. (3.5 kPa), the gas valve must be replaced.
Never use an open ame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas
connections.
Figure 26 - Gas Connection
A. Gas Piping
1. Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable
codes.
2. Locate and install manual shuto valves in accordance with
state and local requirements.
3. In Canada, the Manual Shuto must be identied by the
installing contractor.
4. It is important to support gas piping as the unit is not
designed to structurally support a large amount of weight.
5. Purge all gas lines thoroughly to avoid start up issues with
air in the lines.
6. Sealing compound must be approved for gas connections.
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 36
36
Never use an open ame (match or lighter) to check for gas
leaks. Use a soapy solution to test connection. Failure to use
a soapy solution test or check gas connection for leaks can
result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury,
or death.
Use two wrenches when tightening gas piping at the boiler: One
to prevent the boiler gas line from turning. Failure to prevent
the boiler gas connection from turning could result in damage
to the gas line components, substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
CSA or UL listed exible gas connections can be used when
installing the boiler. Flexible gas connections have dierent
capacities and must be sized correctly for the connected boiler
ring rates. Consult with the ex line supplier to assure the
line size is adequate for the job. Follow local codes for proper
installation and service requirements.
B. Check Inlet Gas Pressure
The gas valve is equipped with an inlet gas pressure tap that can
be used to measure the gas pressure to the unit. To check gas
pressure, perform the steps listed below:
1. IMPORTANT! Before you connect to the inlet pressure, shut
o the gas and electrical power to unit.
2. Loosen the pressure tap with a small screwdriver. Refer to
Figure 27 for location.
3. Each unit is equipped with a needle valve that will accept a
5/16 ID hose to connect to a digital manometer or liquid gauge
to measure incoming pressure from 0-35” w.c. See Figure 27.
4. Turn on the gas and power up the unit.
5. Put the unit into manual test mode (details on test mode are
in Part 10). In test mode, monitor pressure to assure it does not
drop below 1 inch from its idle reading. If gas pressure is out
of range or pressure drop is excessive, contact the gas utility,
gas supplier, qualied installer, or service agency to determine
correct action that is needed to provide proper gas pressure to
the unit. If Gas Pressure is within normal range proceed to Step
6.
6. Exit test mode, then turn power o and shut o gas supply at
the manual gas valve before disconnecting the hose from the
gas monitoring device. Tighten screw on the pressure tap and
turn gas on. Check for leaks with soapy solution. Bubbles will
appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present.
Ensure the pressure tap screw is properly tightened to prevent
gas leaks. Failure to do so could cause substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The gas piping must be sized for the proper ow and length
of pipe to avoid pressure drop. The gas meter and regulator
must be properly sized for the total gas load. If you experience
a pressure drop greater than 1” w.c. (.87 kPa), the meter,
regulator or gas line may be undersized or in need of service.
You can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip leg after
removing the cap. The gas pressure must remain between
3.5” (.87 kPa) and 14” (3.5 kPa) during stand-by (static) mode
and while in operating (dynamic) mode.
If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet
from the boiler. It is very important that the gas line is properly
purged by the gas supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge
the lines, or improper line sizing, will result in ignition failure.
This problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations
and empty tank situations. This situation can also occur when
a utility company shuts o service to an area to provide
maintenance to their lines. This gas valve must not be replaced
with a conventional gas valve under any circumstances.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve outlet
pressure. The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet
pressure and requires no eld adjustment. Attempts by the
installer to adjust or measure the gas valve outlet pressure
could result in damage to the valve and cause substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Ensure that the high gas pressure regulator is as least 6 – 10
feet upstream of the appliance. Failure to do so could result
in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.

Figure 27 - Gas Valve
Do not do a gas conversion on this boiler without an ocially
approved conversion kit and instructions supplied by HTP.
Failure to use a conversion kit when converting the boiler
to re on Natural or Propane gas will result in extremely
dangerous burner operation, leading to re, explosion, severe
personal injury, or death.
Strain on the gas valve and ttings may result in vibration,
premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in re,
explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Adjustments to the throttle screw or oset may only be made
by a qualied gas technician using a calibrated combustion
analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in re, explosion, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.

Part 8 - Start-Up Preparation
A. Check / Control Water Chemistry
Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage
to your boiler and associated equipment, and may also
aect eciency. You may have to have your water quality
professionally analyzed to determine whether you need to
install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry
on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are
checked before installing the boiler, as water quality will aect
the reliability of the system. Outlined below are those water
quality parameters which need to be met in order for the
system to operate eciently for many years. Failure of a heat
exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface,
low pH or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
To assure extended service life, it is recommended to test water
quality prior to installation. Listed below are some guidelines.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds
in the boiler system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets
in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property
damage.
Sodium less than 20 mGL
Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0
1. Maintain boiler water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with
litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a water treatment
company.
2. If the pH diers from above, consult local water treatment
company for treatment needed.
Hardness less than 7 grains
Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard
water areas (above 7 grains hardness).
Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm
1. Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable since
drinking water chlorine levels are typically less than 5 ppm.
2. Do not connect the boiler to directly heat a swimming pool
or spa water.
3. Do not ll boiler or operate with water containing chlorine in
excess of 100 ppm.
Hardness: Less than 7 grains
Chloride Levels: Less than 100 ppm
pH Levels: 6-8
TDS: Less than 2000 ppm
Sodium: Less than 20 mGL
PROPANE BOILERS ONLY – The propane supplier mixes an
odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable.
In some instances the odorant can fade, and the gas may
no longer have an odor. Before startup (and periodically
thereafter), have the propane supplier verify the correct
odorant level in the gas.
C. Condensate Removal
1. The boiler is a high eciency condensing boiler. Therefore,
the unit has a condensate drain. Condensate uid is nothing
more than water vapor, derived from combustion products,
similar to that produced by an automobile when it is initially
started.
Condensation is slightly acidic (typically with a pH of 3 to 5)
and must be piped with the correct materials. Never pipe the
condensate using steel, copper, brass or other materials that
will be subject to corrosion. Plastic PVC or CPVC pipe are the
only approved materials.
A condensate neutralizer, if required by local authorities,
can be made up of lime crystals, marble or phosphate chips
that will neutralize the condensate. This may be done by the
installer or you may purchase a condensate neutralizer from
HTP (7450P-212).
2. The boiler is equipped with a ¾ female socket weld tting
connection that must be piped to a local drain. It is very
important that the condensate line is sloped downward away
from the boiler to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate
outlet on the appliance is lower than the drain, you must use a
condensate removal pump, available from HTP (554200). This
pump is equipped with two leads that can be connected to an
alarm or another type of warning device to alert the user of
a condensate overow, which, if not corrected, could cause
property damage.
3. If a long horizontal run is used, it may be necessary to create
a vent in the horizontal run to prevent a vacuum lock in the
condensate line.
4. Do not expose the condensate to freezing temperatures.
5. It is very important you support the condensation line to
assure proper drainage.
D. Final Checks Before Starting Boiler
1. Read Startup Procedures within this manual for proper
steps to start boiler. (See Startup Report to record steps for
future reference.)
2. Verify the boiler and system are full of water and all system
components are correctly set for operation.
B. Check for Gas Leaks
Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation, smell
near the oor and around the boiler for gas odorant or any
unusual odor. Remove boiler front door and smell interior of
boiler enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any
indication of a gas leak. Repair any leaks at once.
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Ensure the boiler is full of water before ring the burner.
Failure to do so will damage the boiler. Such damage IS NOT
covered by warranty, and could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
3. Fill condensate trap with water.
4. Verify electrical connections are correct and securely
attached.
5. Inspect exhaust vent and intake piping for signs of
deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or sagging.
Verify exhaust vent and intake piping are intact and correctly
installed per Venting Section and local codes.

E. Setting Up a Single Boiler
When power is applied to the boiler, the control rst
completes a power-up systems check. During this time the
combustion fan may run. The display will initially show the
current boiler outlet temperature. If a fault is detected during
the power-up test, the control will display the appropriate
fault code. Otherwise, the display will continue to show the
boiler outlet temperature and stand-by, waiting for a demand
for hot water. If the temperature of the tank sensor falls below
the tank set point minus the tank dierential temperature, a
demand for hot water is generated by the control.
When a demand for hot water is received, the control begins
the following demand sequence. The boiler rst turns on the
pump (if it is not wired to run continuously). Once the pump is
running, the control will display LOW WATER FLOW and wait
for the water ow in the system to increase to an acceptable
level determined by the ow switch on the outside of the
boiler. (NOTE: This step may happen very rapidly. If ow is
adequate, LOW WATER FLOW may never display.)
Once ow through the boiler is adequate, the control will
measure the supply temperature. If it is below the set point
temperature minus the ignition dierential set point, the
control will ignite the burner. After the burner is lit, the
control modulates the ring rate to control the supply water
temperature at the set point temperature plus the supply
oset temperature (installer #4) above the tank set point
temperature. When the tank temperature is equal to the
tank set point temperature, the control will extinguish the
burner and run the combustion fan to purge gasses from the
combustion chamber. In addition, the pump will run for a
pump post purge interval. The control will then be in standby,
waiting to process the next demand for heat.
During this process, the control will extinguish the burner
if it senses a dangerous or unsafe condition. If the control
determines that a dangerous or unsafe condition has occurred,
the control may lock out the boiler and prevent it from igniting
until a maintenance person diagnoses the problem, repairs
it, and resets the control. In the event that the control goes
into lockout, it will show a diagnostic code on the display,
illuminate the LED fault indicator, and close the alarm relay
contacts to aid in recognition of the condition, diagnosis, and
repair.
F. Setting Up a Cascaded System
If the boiler is part of a cascaded system the operation is
somewhat dierent. The control of each boiler in a cascaded
system completes its own power up system check as described
above. One of the boilers in the cascade system is designated
as the master boiler. After the master boiler completes its
power up sequence, it checks the communication bus to see if
any other boilers are present. If other boilers are present, the
master control determines these follower boiler addresses.
The master boiler control will recheck the bus every few
seconds as long as it is powered up to update the status of the
connected boilers. The control in the master boiler processes
all heat demands and dictates which of the follower boilers
should light and what ring rate the followers should try to
achieve.
When the master boiler receives a demand for heat, it
determines which boiler is rst in the ring sequence and
sends that boiler a command to begin a demand sequence. That
boiler will then begin a demand sequence as described above.
Once the boiler ignites, the master boiler control will increase
the ring rate command to that boiler until the system sensor
temperature is at the tank set point temperature plus the supply
oset temperature (installer #4), or that boiler is at high ring
rate. If the command from the master boiler control gets to the
high ring rate of the follower boiler, but the system sensor is
below the required temperature, the master boiler control
will then tell the next boiler in the ring sequence to begin its
demand sequence. The master boiler control will then begin to
ramp up the ring rate command of that boiler. This process will
continue while there is a demand until all boilers in the cascade
system are at high re or the desired temperature of the system
sensor is reached. If the system sensor temperature reaches
tank set point and installer #4 before all boilers are at high re,
the master control will modulate the cascade command signal
to maintain the system sensor at tank set point and installer
#4 until the demand is complete. When the tank temperature
is equal to the set point temperature, the demand is complete,
and the master boiler control will extinguish all boilers that may
be lit. If the demand decreases, the ring rate command and
amount of boilers lit will decrease exactly opposite as described
above.
Whenever the master boiler control needs to re a follower
boiler, it sends a ring rate command to that boiler. The
follower boiler will respond to the command until its supply
sensor temperature gets to be 5
o
F above the tank set point
temperature plus the supply oset temperature (installer #4),
at which point the individual boiler will modulate on its own so
as not to overheat. As a result, it is not uncommon to see the
cascade output at maximum but individual boilers ring at less
than their maximum ring rate.
G. Lockout Condition
If any boilers, including the master boiler in the cascade system,
are in a lockout condition, the master control will recognize the
lockout condition and skip over the boiler in the ring sequence.
Each boiler in the cascade system is responsible for its own
safety functions. So, if any individual boiler control senses an
unsafe condition, it will extinguish the burner and, if necessary,
go to a lockout condition. In this way, every boiler in the system
has its individual safety controls intact and operational, even if
the ring of the boiler is under control of the master boiler.
In the event that the system sensor fails, all boilers in the
system will ignite simultaneously when there is a demand, and
each boiler will individually regulate ring rates to maintain
the master set point temperature (tank set point + installer
#4) at the individual supply sensors built into the boiler. If this
should happen, the master boiler will display an E03 fault code,
indicating that the supply sensor has failed.
H. Cascade System Programming
1. If the boiler is used alone, skip this section.
2. Programming the Master Boiler:
a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to
the boiler.
b. Apply power to the boiler.
c. Enter the system setting program navigation following
instructions in Part 10 of this manual.
d. Verify that cascade address function 15 is set to 0. This
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 40
40
makes the master boiler address 0. NOTE: The Master
Boiler MUST be addressed as 0.
e. Change Cascade Mode function 23 to 926 Boilrs. This
makes it the master boiler.
f. Exit the installer menu.
NOTE: The temperature set point of the master must match
the follower boiler set point in order for the system to operate
properly.
3. Programming Follower Boilers:
NOTE: READ THE NOTES BELOW BEFORE
PROGRAMMING FOLLOWER BOILERS
• The boiler addressed as 1 will share its alarm output with the
master boiler.
• It is recommended but not necessary to address boilers in
the order that they are wired.
• No two boilers can have the same address.
• It is not required to use all consecutive address numbers.
a. Make sure there is no demand for heat being supplied to
the master boiler
b. Apply power to the follower boiler you are working on.
c. Enter system settings following instructions in Part 10 of
this manual
d. Set cascade address parameter 15 to 1 for the rst
follower, 2 for the second follower, etc. depending on which
boiler you are programming based on the above notes.
e. Change “CASCADE MODE” parameter to “926 BOILRS”.
This makes the boiler a follower boiler and enables all data
to be transferred between boilers as needed for the system
to function to full capability.
f. Exit the installer menu.
NOTE: The temperature set point of the follower must match
the master boiler set point in order for the system to operate
properly.
Part 9 - Start-Up Procedure
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
1. This boiler does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an
ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not
try to light the burner by hand.
2. BEFORE OPERATING: Smell all around the boiler area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any boiler.
• Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas suppliers’ instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re
department.
• Turn o the gas shuto valve (located outside the
boiler) so that the handle is crosswise to the gas pipe.
If the handle will not turn by hand, don’t try to force
or repair it, call a qualied service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a re or explosion.
4. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the
boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control that has been damaged.
5. The boiler shall be installed so the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying,
rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator
replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.)
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property
damage, serious personal injury, or death.
If you discover any evidence of a gas leak, shut down the
boiler at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and
repair immediately. Do not start the boiler again until the
leak is repaired. Failure to comply could result in substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. Control Overview
The control is one of the primary safety devices of the boiler.
It monitors the safety sensors of the boiler to assure safe and
ecient operation.
The control has many features associated with system design.
This section addresses programming features, including
Boiler Settings / System Settings / Maintenance Settings and
System Diagnostics, to help in customizing your control. It
is important to fully understand control capabilities before
customization, as its factory defaults may already t your
system design and not require any adjustment at all.
B. Navigation of the Display
The display includes a two line backlit LCD readout to provide
informative messages about the operation of the boiler. Many
operating parameters can be viewed and adjusted by using
the six buttons on the display. The function of each button is
described below.
RESET – The RESET button has two functions.

One of the zeroes will be blinking. Use the ^ v arrow keys to
change the blinking digit to the correct value. Use the < >
arrow keys to select the next digit to change and again use the
^ v keys to change the value. Repeat until the correct code is
entered. Press the ENTER key to accept the code entered. If
the code is correct, the readout will change to the appropriate
screen. If the programming code is not accepted, the readout
will continue to display as shown above.
ENTER is also used to enable a function for editing. After the
user navigates to the desired function, the user holds down
ENTER for one second. When ENTER is released, the function
value will begin to blink. The function can now be changed
using the ^ v keys. After the new value is displayed, the user
then presses ENTER for 1 second to lock the new value of the
function. The value will then stop blinking.
LEFT AND RIGHT ARROW KEYS – < > are used to navigate
between the default display, status display, analog and
cascade displays if they are enabled. The < > keys are also used
in programming modes to change between programmable
functions. It is recommended you use the Menu Maps in
the back of this manual and the detailed menu instructions
printed in this section to help in menu navigation.
UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS – ^ v are used to navigate
between the various functions displayed in the menu. After
the function is enabled for editing by pushing the ENTER
key, the ^ v keys are used to adjust the function upward or
downward to the desired value.
C. Operating Instructions
Before operating the unit, it is important to remove the cover
and verify that the gas line and water lines are connected to
boiler and fully purged. If you smell gas, STOP; Follow the
safety instructions listed in the rst part of this section. If you
do not smell gas, follow the next steps.
1. Turn down the thermostats before applying power to the
boiler. If 0–10 volt or other inputs are used, make sure that
they are set so there is no call for heat while programming.
2. Turn on the power to the boiler or boilers if a cascade system
used.
3. Next, check the boiler settings. Adjustment and factory
defaults are outlined within this section. If a cascade system
is used, it is important that all the boilers have the same boiler
settings.
4. Next, check the system settings. Adjustments and factory
defaults are outlined within this section. If a cascade system
is used, it is important that the Master Boiler is programmed
with the correct system settings.
5. Create a demand on the boiler or boilers if a cascade system
is used. The user can monitor system functions when the
boilers are operational.
6. If the boilers fail to start, refer to the troubleshooting
section in the back of this manual.
D. Programming Boiler Settings
Boiler Setting Program Access
Note: Programming the boiler control is not possible when the
boiler is ring. Make sure any input which can create a demand
on the boiler, such as the tank thermostat, is turned o, so the
boiler will remain idle to allow programming.

Part 11 - Troubleshooting
A. Boiler Error and Fault Codes
If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition, or an
internal component fails during the operation of the boiler,
the display may show an error message and error code. This
message and code may be the result of a temporary condition,
in which case the display will revert to its normal readout
when the condition is corrected, or it may be a condition that
the controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the boiler. In
this case, the boiler control will be locked out, the red FAULT
light will be lit, and the message “LOCKOUT” will be displayed
on the readout in the lower line.
The boiler will not start until a qualied technician has repaired
the boiler and pressed the RESET button for more than 1
second. If there is an error message displayed on the readout,
and the message “LOCKOUT” is not displayed and the FAULT
light is not lit, then the message is the result of a temporary
condition and will disappear when the problem corrects itself.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you see error messages on your display
readout, call a technician immediately, since the message
may indicate a more serious problem will occur soon.
B. Boiler Error
The controller will display an error code and message when
an error condition occurs. These error codes, descriptions, and
recommended corrective actions are described in Section D.
C. Boiler Fault
1. The controller will illuminate the red “FAULT” indication
light and display a fault code and message when a fault
condition occurs. The alarm output will also activate. Most
fault conditions cause the CH pump to run in an attempt to
cool the boiler.
2. Note the displayed fault code and refer to Section D for an
explanation of the message along with several suggestions for
corrective actions.
3. Press RESET to clear the fault and resume operation. Be
sure to observe the operation of the unit for a period of time
to assure correct operation and no reoccurrence of fault
message.
When servicing or replacing components that are in direct
contact with boiler water, be certain that:
• There is no pressure in the boiler. (Pull the release on
the relief valve. Do not depend on the pressure gauge
reading.
• The boiler water is not hot.
• The electrical power is disconnected.
• The gas is shut o.
Failure to make these checks could result in substantial
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN
SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualied service
technician. The appliance MUST BE replaced if it has been
submerged. Attempting to operate an appliance that has
been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions,
such as a potential gas leakage causing a re and/or explosion,
or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates
into the air. Operating a previously submerged appliance
could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
NOTE: Appliance damage due to ood or submersion is
considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product
warranty.
If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut o, do not
turn o electrical power to the circulating pump. This may
aggravate the problem and increase the likelihood of boiler
damage. Instead, shut o the gas supply to the boiler at the
gas service valve. Failure to do so may result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.

Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing
the boiler. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
property damage or personal injury.
NOTE: If system return temperatures are maintained below the
dew point, condensation will form on the inside of the boiler
cabinet and cause some internal sheet metal components to
rust.
Disconnect the system sensor from the wiring and
measure it’s resistance. Compare the measured resistance
to the table in this manual to see if it corresponds to the
temperature of the sensor. If the resistance does not
agree with the sensor, replace the sensor. If the sensor
is OK, disconnect the sensor wiring from both the boiler
and the sensor and check continuity using an ohmmeter.
Repair or replace as necessary.
If this error is present, the boilers in the cascaded group
will run and ignite simultaneously when there is a heat
demand. Each boiler will modulate to maintain set
point temperature on its own supply sensor. This code
automatically resets when repair is complete. This code

SENS is set to OFF.
1. Check the electrical connections to each half of the
sensor on the outlet manifold. Verify 5 VDC by checking in
Molex connector. If there is not 5 VDC, check the harness.
If harness and sensors are OK, replace control.
NOTE: The boiler will reset automatically. Verify sensor
resistance values of each half of the dual sensor by
referencing chart in this manual.
2. Replace thermistor if necessary.
1. Check circulator pump operation.
2. Ensure adequate ow through the boiler by accessing
the status menu and determining there is less than a 50

Part 12 - Maintenance
A. Procedures
Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a
qualied service technician to assure that all the equipment
is operating safely and eciently. The owner should make
necessary arrangements with a qualied heating contractor
for periodic maintenance of the boiler. The installer must also
inform the owner that a lack of proper care and maintenance of
the boiler may result in a hazardous condition.
BEFORE EACH HEATING SEASON a trained and qualied
service technician should perform the inspections as per the
boiler inspection and maintenance schedule in this manual.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
The combustion chamber insulation in this product contains
ceramic ber material. Ceramic bers can be converted
to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz
or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to
humans (Group 1).”
• Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use a NIOSH certied dust respirator (N95). This type
of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for
cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other
types of respirators may be needed depending on job
site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can
be found on the NIOSH website: http://www.cdc.gov/
niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators,
manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on
this website.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose tting clothing, gloves, and
eye protection.
• Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining
to prevent dust.
• Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from
other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid.
• Eye: Irrigate immediately.
• Breathing: Fresh air.
B. Combustion Chamber Coil Cleaning Instructions
*Before beginning this procedure, have on hand the following
items:
• a nylon, stainless steel, or brass brush (not steel)
• gloves and eye protection
1. Shut down the boiler by using the following steps:
a. Close the gas valve. Shut down the unit, and wait for it to
be cool to the touch.
b. Disconnect the condensate piping from the outside
connection, (not from the boiler side), so ow from
condensate reservoir can be observed.
c. Disconnect electrical connections from the gas valve,
spark electrode, ame rectication probe, and combustion
blower.
d. Remove the four (4) screws on the aluminum ¾” NPT
connector on the right side of the gas valve.

blower motor.
f. Remove the six (6) 10MM nuts from the burner plate
assembly.
g. Pull the entire burner plate assembly with blower still
attached towards you, while removing or pushing aside
any wiring to allow removal of the assembly.
2. Spray the coils liberally with a spray bottle lled with clear
tap water. Conne the spray to the area being cleaned. Avoid
getting the ceramic target wall wet. If the condensate system
is blocked, use a vacuum to clear it.
3. Scrub coils of any buildup with a nylon, stainless steel, or
brass brush. Do not use a steel brush. Vacuum the debris from
the coils.
4. Spray the coils again with clear tap water. Conne the spray
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 55
55
to the area being cleaned. Flush the combustion chamber with
fresh water until it runs clear from the condensate reservoir.
At this point, the boiler should be ready to be reassembled.
a. Inspect gaskets.
b. Reinstall the burner assembly
c. Replace and tighten the six (6) 10MM nuts to the burner
plate using staggered tightening sequence. (See detail.)
d. Reconnect all wiring connections
e. Inspect the gas valve. Ensure the O-ring is in place.
f. Replace the four (4) screws on the aluminum connector
on the gas valve. Turn the gas back on. (IMPORTANT:
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!)
g. Turn boiler power back on and create a heat demand.
When boiler is lit observe condensate ow from the boiler.
Be sure the boiler is operating properly.
h. Reconnect the condensate piping to the outside
condensate connection.
Do not use solvents to clean any of the burner components.
The components could be damaged, resulting in unreliable or
unsafe boiler operation, substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
system.
3. Thoroughly ush the heat exchanger before commissioning
the unit back in service.
D. Maintaining the Condensate System
The condensate trap assembly MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED
according to these instructions when operating the boiler.
Operating the boiler without the condensate trap assembly will
cause ue gases to leak and result in serious personal injury or
death.
When servicing is complete, make sure the condensate collector
cap is replaced securely. Failure to do so will cause venting
issues that will result in serious injury or death.
1. Ensure the boiler is powered o and has had time to cool.
2. Remove the hose clamp attaching the condensate trap to
the condensate hose from the heat exchanger. Remove the
clear plastic hose from the hose barb. Remove the condensate
hose clamp to detach the condensate trap from the drain tube.
Remove the condensate trap from the boiler.
3. Remove the bottom cap from the condensate trap.
4. Flush trap with fresh water to remove debris from the trap.
NOTE: Ensure the oat moves freely within the trap. If the oat
does not move, DO NOT reinstall the trap.
5. When the condensate trap is suciently clean, reinstall the
bottom cap on the trap.
NOTE: Ensure all parts shown in Figure 29, Condensate Detail,
are installed with the condensate trap. If any parts are missing,
DO NOT reinstall the trap. Replace the entire assembly.
Figure 28 - Heat Exchanger Detail
C. Cleaning Water Side of Heat Exchanger
1. Make sure power is
turned o to the boiler.
Run water through the
hot water system to
ensure it is below room
temperature.
2. Close isolation valves
on the return and
supply connections to
the boilers as shown
in the piping diagrams
in this manual. Slowly
open the ball valves and
release pressure into a
bucket. Once pressure
is released, connect a
hose to the water line
to ush the boiler. Scale
removing solution may
be used, but must be
approved for use with
stainless steel and FDA approved for use in a potable water
Do not install the condensate assembly if a component is lost
or missing. Replace the entire assembly. Failure to follow this
warning could result in property damage, serious personal
injury, or death.
6. Fill the condensate trap with fresh water prior to reassembly
on the boiler.
7. Install the condensate trap on the condensate hose from
the heat exchanger. Use the hose clamp to secure the trap.
Attach the clear plastic hose onto the hose barb. Reinstall the
condensate hose clamp to detach the condensate trap from the
drain tube.
Do not operate the boiler without the clear hose attached
from the hose barb to the pressure switch. Failure to follow
this warning could result in property damage, serious personal
injury, or death.
8. If a condensate neutralizer kit is installed with the boiler,
check the assembly when cleaning the condensate trap, and
replenish the limestone chips if necessary. When replacing
limestone chips, take care to ensure chips are no smaller than
½” to avoid blockage in condensate piping (for piping details,
refer to condensate neutralizer installation instruction.)
9. Check condensate piping for sagging and/or leakage. Repair
any sags or leaks before restoring power to the boiler.
LP-551 Rev. 3.9.16
Page 56
56
It is very important that the condensate piping be no smaller
than ¾”. To prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate
piping should be supported with pipe supports, and pitched
¼” per foot to allow for proper drainage. Failure to maintain
proper pipe size and pitch could result in condensate leakage
and potential water damage to property.
The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free
ow of condensate. If condensate freezes in the line, or if line is
obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from the
tee, resulting in potential water damage to property.
10. If the boiler has a condensate pump, ensure the pump
operates properly before considering maintenance complete.

Part 14 - Maintenance Report
In unusually dirty or dusty conditions, care must be taken to
keep boiler cabinet door in place at all times. Failure to do so
VOIDS the warranty.
Allowing the boiler to operate with a dirty combustion
chamber will hurt operation. Failure to clean the heat
exchanger as needed by the installation location could result
in boiler failure, property damage, personal injury, or death.
Such product failures ARE NOT covered under warranty.
The boiler requires minimal periodic maintenance under normal
conditions. However, in unusually dirty or dusty conditions,
periodic vacuuming of the cover to maintain visibility of the
display and indicators is recommended.
Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a
qualied service technician to assure that all the equipment
is operating safely and eciently. The owner should make
necessary arrangements with a qualied heating contractor for
periodic maintenance of the boiler. Installer must also inform
the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the
boiler may result in a hazardous condition.
