4.9 Gas Supply and Piping
Gas piping should be supported by suitable hangers or
oor stands, not the appliance.
Review the following instructions before proceeding with
the installation.
1. Verify that the appliance is tted for the proper type
of gas by checking the rating plate. FT will function
properly at elevations up to 10,000 feet
(3050 m). Refer to Section 4.12 for High Altitude
Settings.
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed
13" W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas pressure
is 3.5" W.C. (1.0kPa).
3. Refer to Table 7, Table 8, and Table 9 to size piping.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all
applicable codes.
5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in
accordance with state and local requirements.
6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of the
gas controls.
7. All threaded joints should be coated with piping
compound resistant to action of liqueed petroleum
gas.
8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45kPa).
9. The unit must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
PSIG (3.45kPa).
10. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak
tested before placing it in operation.
11. Purge all air from gas lines.
CAUTION
PRV (included) must be installed immediately at the
top of boiler outlet to PRV, with no valves between.
Refer to Section 4.15
__________________________________________
WARNING:
Open ame can cause gas to ignite and result in
property damage, severe injury, or loss of life.
NOTE: The FT appliance and all other gas appliances
sharing the gas supply line must be ring at maximum
capacity to properly measure the inlet supply pressure.
The pressure can be measured at the supply pressure
port on the gas valve. Low gas pressure could be an
indication of an undersized gas meter, undersized gas
supply lines and/or an obstructed gas supply line.

from the main supply line, you must measure
sizes of the supply line according to the
COMBINED total maximum BTUH draw for the
appliances as if they were all operating at the
same time.
Measure the length of the gas supply line from
the gas meter to the Combination boiler.
Use the tables in this manual or refer to the gas
line manufacturers sizing information to determine
the correct supply pipe size.
The gas shut-off valve in the gas supply line
should be installed close to the unit.

4.14 Plumbing Guidelines
External Plumbing and Water Connection
Guidelines
- Ensure pipe material meets local codes and
industry standards.
- The pipe end must be clean and free of debris.
- Do not apply torch heat within 12˝ of the bottom
connections of the unit.
- The size of the DHW pipe should be 3/4˝
diameter and central heating water pipe should
be 1˝ diameter.
- Isolation valves(Shutoff valve) will be used.
- All piping should be insulated.
Applicable Backow Preventer
- Apply a backow preventer valve in the DHW
supply inlet (water Inlet) to the unit as required by
local codes.
Closed type Expansion tank
- Apply 1" pipe to the expansion tank to allow air
within the system for exhausting.
- Pitch any horizontal piping up towards tank 1
inch per 5 feet of piping.
- 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
its air cushion.
- DO NOT use a closed type expansion tank in a
system with the FT Combination Boiler. (Automatic air vent has been installed inside of the
boiler.)
- If the combination boiler is installed in a closed
water supply system, such as one having a
backow preventer in the cold water supply line,
it will control thermal expansion.
CAUTION
Use at least the MINIMUM pipe size for the entire
boiler loop piping (connecting boiler to and from
the primary/secondary connection). Use only
primary/secondary piping as shown.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in
system problems.
Scalding Risk: Manufacturer recommends
the use of a thermostatic mixing
valve at domestic hot water
outlet (boiler location) to
reduce potential for scalding.
Contact Manufacturer for
recommended models.

Diaphragm Type Expansion Tank
- The air in a diaphragm-type expansion tank is separated from the water by a exible rubber membrane.
When the tank is installed in and connected to the piping of the system, water enters the other side of the
tank chamber and presses down on the diaphragm.
- You should always install an ‘Automatic Air Vent (Under gure ‘A’)’ on the top of the air separator to remove
residual air from the system.
- Automatic air vent has been installed on the inside of the FT combination boiler.
- The installation of additional air vent is optional.
- If the combination boiler is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backow
preventer in the cold water supply line, it will control thermal expansion.

Shown is the model 140.The model 199 is very similar
.
WARNING
DO NOT install a CH pipe line relief valve with a
pressure higher than 30psi and DHW pipe line relief
valve with a pressure higher than 150psi. This is
the maximum allowable relief valve setting for the
combination boiler.
Test the operation of the valve after lling and
pressurizing system by lifting the lever. Make sure the
valve discharges freely . If the valve fails to operate
correctly , replace it with a new relief valve. Ensure that
the discharge capacity of the pressure relief valve is
equal to or greater than the maximum pressure rating
of the combination boiler.
Ensure that the maximum BTU/H rating on the
pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the
maximum input BTU/H rating of the combination
boiler.
Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the CH
supply line & DHW outlet line as close to the unit as
possible. (CH supply line: maximum 30psi, DHW
outlet line : maximum 150psi). No other valves should
be placed between the pressure relief valve and the
appliance.
This appliance has a high-temperature shut off switch
built in as a standard safety feature .Therefore a
“pressure only” relief valve is required.

4.16 Disposal of Condensate
High efciency gas condensing Boilers create
condensation when operating. Condensation has
acidic (pH) of approximately 4-5.
Condensate must be drained in accordance with all
local regulations. Follow your local code with regards
to the disposal of condensation.
One of 4 disposal methods must be followed
1. to oor drain
2. to neutralizer (optional kit)
3. to laundry tub
4. to condensate pump (eld supplied)
If a neutralizer is installed, periodic replacement of the
lime stone (or neutralizing agent) will be required. The
rate of depletion of the lime stone varies upon usage
of the boiler. During the rst year of operation, please
check the neutralizer every few months for depletion.
Page 43
Apply only corrosion-resistant materials for the
condensate drain lines such as 1/2˝ PVC, CPVC,
Polypropylene pipe or included plastic hose.
For Category II and IV boilers, be installed so as to
prevent accumulation of condensate; and
For Category II and IV boilers, where necessary , have
means provided for drainage of condensate.
les chaudières de catégories II et IV doivent être
installées de façon à empêcher l'accumulation de
condensat; et
si nécessaire, les chaudières de catégories II et IV
doivent être pourvues de dispositifs d'évacuation du
condensat.

CAUTION
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and may harm
some oor drains and/or pipes, particularly those
that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and
anything that will come in contact with the condensate
can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate
before disposal. Damage caused by failure to install
a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate
will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.

NOTE: 0 - 10VDC terminals may not be used for both outdoor reset and 0 - 10VDC temp
setpoint simultaneously.
5.10 External Set Point Temperature Control
A signal from a building management system may be connected to the appliance to enable remote
control. This signal should be a 0-10 volt DC signal. When this input is enabled, a building control
system can be used to control the set point temperature of the appliance.
The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the
appliance will be in standby mode, not ring.
When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, the appliance will ignite. As the signal continues to rise
towards its maximum of 10 volts, the appliance will increase in set point temperature. Adjust 16:cH
and 17:cL to set MIN and MAX boiler water temperatures respectively.
Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked
for this purpose on the appliance terminal block (shown in Piping Diagrams, this manual). Caution
should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.
Connect to terminal strip as outlined 4.17 Electrical Connections.
NOTE: 0 - 10VDC terminals may not be used for both outdoor reset and 0 - 10VDC temp
setpoint simultaneously.
