2.0 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation of your NY Thermal Trinity gas boiler must conform to the requirements of your local
authority, and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
Where required by the Authority, the installation must conform to the standard for “Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
Important: Carbon Monoxide Detectors
A carbon monoxide detector must also be installed in the room that houses the boiler. Carbon
monoxide detectors shall comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition).
“In the state of Massachusetts only”
If there is not one already present, on each floor level where there are bedroom(s), a carbon monoxide detector
and alarm shall be placed in the living area outside the bedroom(s).
If the bottom of the vent and air intake terminal is installed below four feet above grade, the carbon monoxide
detector located in the boiler room shall:
a. Be powered by the same electrical circuit as the boiler such that only one service switch services both the
appliance and the carbon monoxide detector;
b. Have battery back-up power;
c. Meet ANSI/UL 2034 Standards and comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition); and
d. Have been approved and listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory as recognized under 527
CMR.
ATTENTION: LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (LP) PROPANE
The Trinity boiler is set to operate with Natural Gas, an LP Conversion Kit Part No. 82066-1 for Ti150 and 82650-1 for
Ti200 is included with each boiler and must be installed before operating with Propane.
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air; it is imperative that your boiler is not installed in a pit or
similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Local Codes may require appliances fueled with LP gas
be provided with an approved means, of removing unburned gases from the room. Check your local codes for this
requirement.
2.10 LOCATION
In all cases, the Trinity boiler must be installed indoors, in a dry location, such that the gas components
are protected from dripping or spraying water or rain, during operation and servicing. The boiler location
ambient temperature is maintained to a minimum of 50°F.
Determine the best location of the vent termination, and if possible locate the boiler as close to the
termination point as possible.
For proper and safe installation adhere to the following clearances to combustibles:
Boiler Casing=0" Floor=Combustible Flue Pipe: Boxed in or enclosed=2” In free air=0”
The following are the minimum clearances for servicing, however 24” is recommended:
Front = 24” Back = 0" Top = 12" Sides = 12" Bottom = 12"
Ensure that the desired boiler location is not subjected to flooding or high moisture levels, for damage to
the boiler will occur, voiding your NY THERMAL warranty.

3.0 VENTING
The NY Thermal Trinity condensing gas boiler
is a high efficiency boiler utilizing induced
power venting, which is designed to be vented
directly outdoors, using the venting method
detailed in this section. Under no conditions,
may this unit vent gases into a masonry
chimney, unless it is vacant, and utilizes the
Trinity approved venting material (Solid core ABS or PVC
steel pipe) as illustrated in the figures on page 5.
3.1 VENT PIPE MATERIAL
Selection of the vent pipe material must be based upon the Local codes and regulations. The
Trinity boiler is certified to operate under all conditions using solid core ABS or PVC
CPVC. Local codes may prohibit the use of plastics, and stainless steel venting must be used
(AL29-4C).
3.2 VENTING CLEARANCES
1. It is highly recommended that the vent terminal be located where it will not be exposed to normal
prevailing winds.
2. The exhaust must be a minimum of 18” above the air inlet, and the air inlet must always be a
minimum of 12” plus snow allowance above any surface that will support snow. (Two feet plus snow
allowance is highly recommended). Consult your weather office, for the maximum typical snowfall for
your region. Example: New Brunswick Canada the maximum typical snowfall is 19”, Thus in figures of Section 3.3, the
inlet must be (12”+19”) = 31” off the ground, the exhaust must be (31”+18”) = 49”.
3. The horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust must be a minimum of 4” center to center. If
the horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust is more then 12”, increase the vertical
separation by the same amount. Example: If horizontal separation is 24”, a minimum vertical
separation of 30” is required (24”-12”=12”), so increase minimum vertical separation by 12”),
(18”+12”=30”). If horizontal distance is greater then 6’, no additional vertical spacing is required.
Vertical separation is never required to be greater then 36”.
4. Under normal operating conditions this appliance will produce a plume of white gases, and should be
taken into consideration when selecting an adequate location. A 3’ diameter stainless, plastic, or
vinyl shield can be used to flash the exterior of the residence.
The vent terminal shall not terminate:
• Directly above a paved sidewalk or a paved
driveway that is located between two
buildings, and that serves both buildings;
• Less than 7 feet above grade where located
adjacent to a paved driveway or public walkway.
• Within 3' (three feet) horizontally of a window or door that can be opened, or non-mechanical air
supply inlet to any building.
• Within 6’ of a mechanical air supply inlet to any building, or roof eve containing soffit openings.
• Above a meter/regulator assembly within 3' horizontally of the vertical centerline of the regulator.
• Within 6' of any gas service regulator vent outlet.
• Less than 30” plus snow allowance above grade, or any surface that will support snow, ice, or debris.
The exhaust must be a minimum of 18” above the air inlet, and the air inlet must always be a
minimum of 12” plus snow allowance above any surface that will support snow. (Two feet
plus snow allowance is highly recommended). Consult your weather office, for the maximum
typical snowfall for your region.

Notes
1.) If the horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust is more then 12”, increase minimum
vertical separation by the same amount. (If horizontal distance is greater then 6’, no additional
vertical spacing is required). Example, horizontal separation equal to 24” requires a minimum
vertical separation of 18”+(24”-12”) =30”. (Vertical separation is never required to be greater
then 36”)
2.) Elbows on outside of wall must be no greater than ½” away from the wall.
3.) All indoor exhaust piping must be on a slope back to the boiler ¼” per linear foot of vent. (See
figure after #11. Recommended way to have plumb pipe connection to boiler.)
4.) Exhaust and Inlet venting must have screens installed at the termination (See figure page 7).
5.) Exhaust vent pipe can be secured to the wall for more rigidity.
6.) In all roof applications the discharge must point away
from the pitch of the roof.
7.) Install adequate flashing where the pipe enters the
roof, to prevent water leakage.
8.) Install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney
openings, in vacant chimney applications.
9.) For installations that exit the wall below grade.
Excavate site as shown in figure, to a point below
where the pipes are to exit. Ensure that the wall is
fully sealed where the pipes penetrate the wall. The
vent piping MUST be secured to the side of the
building above grade, as shown, to provide rigidity.
NTI Provides a mounting bracket PN. 82075 for
securing the exhaust pipes. Ensure that the vent clearances are maintained (Inlet minimum 12”
plus snow allowance from grade, exhaust outlet 18” minimum above inlet)

10.) Install the vent screens provided into both the inlet and exhaust vent terminal elbows.
The screen must be on the outside of the last elbow. Install the screen into the female opening of
the elbow. Then cut a small piece of pipe to sandwich the screen into the elbow. NOTE be sure
that the small piece of pipe cut, does not extend past the end of the elbow. Two screens are
provided in the package.
11.) It is extremely important that the intake and exhaust piping be
adapted to 3” immediately at the boiler using the appropriate adaptors.
Use a 3” to 2” adaptor on the exhaust and a 3” to 1½” adaptor at the inlet.
12.) All interior vent pipe shall be supported every 24”
It is recommended that two
elbows be used, so that the
slope of the horizontal
exhaust vent (1/4” per foot)
does not affect the vertical

3.4 DETERMINING VENT LENGTHS
Use the following chart to determine the
maximum amount of vent pipe that can be
used. This chart calculates, sweep and 45º
elbows, and 90º elbows at 5 equivalent feet.
Combustion air that contains chloride,
fluoride, bromine, or iodine can cause
corrosion of the heat exchanger,
voiding your warranty.
Warning
IMPORTANT:
• The length of one vent pipe (intake or exhaust) may not exceed the length of the other vent
pipe by more then 20 equivalent feet.
• The three 90° elbows of the exterior vent piping (two outlet, and one inlet) do not have to
be included, as they are taken into consideration in the vent calculations.
• 2” venting cannot be used.
• For Propane Gas (LP) maximum vent length cannot exceed 50 equivalent feet.
Vent piping outside the Building is permitted under the following conditions:
1. The maximum length outside the building is 20 feet.
2. Only 3” pipe can be used.
3. All normal termination clearances

on a slope back to the boiler ¼” per
linear foot of vent. Steps must be taken to ensure that condensate does not collect in the venting
system. Condensate must be drained from the boiler into a household drain.
Note: check with your municipality, or local gas company to determine if disposal of combustion
condensate is permitted. In the State of Massachusetts the condensate must be neutralized
prior to entering a drain.
The following are important notes that must be taken into
consideration when constructing the condensate system:
• DO NOT run condensate line outside. A frozen or blocked
drain will cause the condensate to fill the combustion
chamber. This will result in a no heat condition, as the unit
will shut down, and damage to the flame sensor, and
components can occur.
• NEVER use copper, steel, or galvanized piping in the
construction of the condensate system.
• When a condensate pump is used or required, select a
pump that is designed for residential furnaces.

Insure that:
• Flexible gas pipe is used (if acceptable by local codes). The gas valve and blower cannot support
the weight of piping, leading to blower vibration and damaged components. If rigid piping is used,
ensure that the valve supports NO WEIGHT
• You plan the installation so that the piping does not interfere with the vent pipe, or the removal of
the valve, burner, and serviceable components.
• The Boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain etc.) during installation and servicing.
• The gas piping is large enough for all the appliances in the home. No appreciable drop in line or
manifold pressure should occur when any unit (or combination of units) lights or runs.
• Always use a pipe-threading compound that is resistant to propane (LP) gas solvent action. Use
sparingly to all male threads, starting at two threads from the end. Over doping or applying dope
to the female end, can result in a blocked gas line.
• DO NOT TIGHTEN FITTINGS WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE GAS VALVE as damage to the
valve or motor can occur.
• Install a manual “equipment Shut-Off Valve” as shown. Valve must be listed by a nationally
recognized testing lab.

Boiler Venting: Hot water boilers are designed to operate with airless water in the system. The Trinity
boiler is provided with a 1/8” Air vent located on the top of the unit. This Air vent is intended to vent the
boiler on initial startup. This device will NOT continuously vent air collecting in the primary loop, and it is
not intended to be the primary venting device. The Air Scoop as shown in the diagram is the primary
venting location. It is recommended that an additional Air Scoop be used in the secondary plumbing. If
air continues to be a problem an air scrubber must be used (recommend Spirovent # VJR 100TM for
Ti150 or VJR 125TM for Ti200, use 1-1/4” primary-loop plumbing with model VJR 125TM).
Low Water Cutoff/ Flow Switch: A certified LWCO or Flow Switch is not provided in the package,
however one is to be field installed in any application where the boiler is located above ALL the radiation
or where local authorities require it. NTI recommends installing a LWCO or flow switch to prevent the
boiler from firing without water in the heat exchanger.

Warning
To improve domestic hot water performance, Sentry versions T1.5 and newer, installed on Combi
boilers, go into a “Storage Mode” when demands for both space and domestic heat are finished. The
control will enter “Storage Mode” if the burner is on at the end of a demand. Once in “Storage Mode” the
burner goes to low fire, the 3-way diverting valve is energized (position “A”), and the circulator is
powered until a boiler temperature of 160°F is reached, at which point the control reverts to “Standby
Mode”. The “Storage Mode” will be interrupted by either a call for space or domestic heat.
Anti-Scald Valve A Sparcomix AM101-US-1 is
provided with your package. This valve regulates the
water temperature leaving the plate heat exchanger,
and must be used in every instance. The dial can
be set to the desired temperature required. Consult
the Honeywell manual SD/IS150 for detailed

hot water to the occupants.
instructions and settings. (Note: the valve must be
set to a supply temperature of not more then 120˚F. It is the responsibility of the installer to set
the valve and remove the dial.)
Hard Water Hard water conditions will cause the components of this appliance to form scale and
impede the normal operation of the unit. Water with hardness higher than 50 ppm Calcium carbonate
must incorporate a “Water Softener” prior to entering the appliance. Plugging of domestic system by
scaling or accumulation of dirt is not the responsibility of NY Thermal Inc., and suitable steps shall be
taken to avoid it.
CleaningSecespol brazed plate heat exchangers operate with high turbulence flow, even at low flow
rates. This high turbulence keeps small particles in suspension minimizing fouling and scaling.
However, in some applications the fouling tendency can be very high, e.g. when using extremely hard
water at high temperatures. In such cases it is always possible to clean the exchanger by circulating a
cleaning liquid. Use a tank with weak acid, 5% phosphoric acid or, if the exchanger is frequently
cleaned, 5% oxalic acid. Pump the cleaning liquid through the exchanger. For optimum cleaning, the
cleaning solution flow rate should be a minimum of 1.5 times the normal flow rate, preferably in a backflush mode. After use, do not forget to rinse the heat exchanger carefully with clean water. A solution of
1-2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) before the last rinse ensures that all
acid is neutralized. Clean at regular intervals.
Combi Limitations As the Trinity produces domestic hot water instantaneously, there are inherent
limitations that this system has.
1) NO STORAGE - As there is no water storage, the boiler can only provide water at the temperature
specified at the corresponding flow rates. Flow through the fixtures must be regulated so flows don’t
exceed the ability of the boiler to heat the water. MORE FLOW = LESS TEMPERATURE
2) DOESN’T MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE – When there is no call for domestic the unit is off. From a
dead stop the unit will detect flow and start providing heat in 15 seconds, and be up to capacity by 25
seconds. Once running, the unit can provide an endless amount of hot water. If the flow is momentarily
turned off for whatever reason, the unit will turn off. Once off, the unit must relight, and not provide heat
for 45-75 seconds. This will cause cold unheated water to pass through the unit, and advance through
the domestic plumbing between the previously heated (hot) water, and the new (hot) water. This can be
mistaken for an inability to adequately heat the water.
Procedure for Setting up Domestic Hot Water If the combi boiler is being installed in an application
that uses municipal water, often the pressure is high enough to generate flow rates at the faucets that
will exceed the boilers capacity to heat it. See the following tables to determine what flow can be
expected at various inlet and outlet water temperatures.
18
Page 19
Table 1: Ti150C Flow rates
Inlet Water Temperature (deg. F) 40 45 50 55 60 65 70
To avoid having too much flow at your faucets use the shut off valve after the mixing valve to limit the
overall flow of domestic hot water. Follow these instructions to achieve the best results with your Combi
boiler:
1. Open shut off valve fully.
2. Turn the dial on the mixing valve to the desired setting (being careful not to exceed 120˚F or a
dial setting greater then 2) and adjust LO setting accordingly.
3. Create the maximum amount of DHW flow that is likely to occur on a regular basis. (Usually tub
faucet, or choose two other faucets)
4. Allow the boiler to reach steady state, and then throttle the shut-off valve until the hot water
exiting the plate heat exchanger is warmer than the mixed water exiting the mixing valve. Ensure
the boiler is firing at the maximum rate, if not increase the LO setting and repeat this step. (It is
beneficial to keep the LO setting as low as possible to limit short cycling and maintain efficiency)
7.0 WIRING

8.0 SENTRY 2100T CONTROLLER
The Sentry controller is the central controller for the Trinity boiler. The Sentry handles all the combustion
logic, together with the energy management functions. The Sentry 2100T operates in two different modes,
reset or conventional. The mode is automatically determined by the presence of the outdoor sensor.
When the Sentry 2100 detects the presence of the outdoor sensor the controller will operate in Reset
Mode. If the outdoor sensor is not installed, the controller will operate in Conventional Mode. If outdoor
sensor is connected after start-up boiler must be powered off and on.

The Trinity boiler employs a pneumatic modulation system. This modulation system increases or decreases the
velocity of the blower, to meet the demand for heating. The gas valve, senses this change, in blower pressure,
and introduces the required amount of gas, to ensure correct combustion. The term “Set Point” is used to indicate
the desired temperature that the Trinity will try and maintain, by increasing or decreasing the input.

9.0 LIGHTING BOILER
9.1 INITIAL START-UP
• Ensure that the boiler is wired in accordance with this manual.
• Ensure that the gas shut-off valve is turned on, and that the gas system has been fully tested
for leaks.
• Ensure that the system is completely filled with water, and that ALL the air is purged out.
1. Turn on power to the Trinity Boiler. The boiler should run through a purge, and combustion should
occur. (The control system has a built in ignition retry, allowing the system to retry at least four times,
before locking-out.)
2. Verify that the gas line pressure is 4-9”wc. for natural gas, and 9-12” wc. for propane.
3. Using an appropriate Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide analyzer, take a sample of the flue gas. The sample
must fall within the acceptable ranges for carbon Dioxide, which is 8% - 9.5% for natural gas, and
9.0%-10.5% for propane. If the reading does not fall within this range, contact NY Thermal, for
assistance.
4. Perform at least three lights in succession to ensure proper operation.
5. After the three successive lights, unplug the flame probe, and allow the unit to cycle again. Ensure
that it tries to light, and locks out on safety reset. Once you have successfully activated the flame
safety system, replace the wire on the flame sensor, and reconfirm proper lighting.

If the combustion sequence is normal, and there is no flame prior to ignition, the
Fenwal control is defective, and must be replaced.
If the condensate drain gets blocked, the boiler will become flooded, and terminate
operation, as the flame rod becomes immersed. This will damage the flame probe.
To correct, free the drain blockage, and permanently prevent it from reoccurring.
Remove and dry off the probe. Reinstall the probe and try for ignition, if it fails to
ignite, leave the fan run for up to three hours to dry out the insulation and probe.

Use flexible gas line to insolate the vibration noises between the gas valve and the
line.
Don’t hang gas lines from floor joists.
Use rubber insulators with gas line supports.
If gas valve is not held when the gas nipple is connected, the force of tightening the
fitting can damage the valve, and warp the fan housing.
If pipe is used, the gas line must not create any forces to the valve, either vertically
(weight of line), or horizontally (misaligned connection)
The following are the thermister curves for diagnosing the water and outdoor air sensors.
1. Measure the resistance of the thermister when disconnected.
2. Using the appropriate chart, find the resistance and move either vertical (water probe) or
horizontal (air probe) until the line is intersected.
3. Move 90 degrees to the corresponding temperature.
4. If the temperature is plus or minus 10 degrees, then the probe is operating correctly.

12.0 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Installation
a) Connect all plumbing, and ensure that there are no system leaks.
b) Connect, secure, and glue all vent piping.
c) Install all gas piping as per this manual, and local codes. Pressure test, to detect any gas leaks.
Start-up
1. Install pressure gauge (Gauge= 0” to 15” w.c. scale) and check line and manifold pressures. (See
“Section 5.2”)
2. Turn gas shut-off valve to the ON position.
3. Turn Power on to boiler.

Page 34
4. Set Sentry Controller to desired settings.
5. Turn thermostat up, Ignition will occur.
Operational Checklist
Ensure that Carbon Dioxide Readings are within the acceptable ranges. Using an appropriate Oxygen or
Carbon Dioxide analyzer, take a sample of the flue gas. The sample must fall within the acceptable
Carbon Dioxide ranges, which is 8% - 9.5% for natural, and 9.0%-10.5% for propane.
(See “Section
5.2”)

13.0 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
This unit requires very little maintenance, however a Qualified Technician should inspect it at the
beginning of every heating season.
1.) Lighting is smooth and consistent, and the combustion fan is noise & vibration free.
2.) The condensate freely flows from the unit, and is cleaned of sediment.
3.) Relief Valve and air vents are not weeping.
4.) Low water cut off is flushed (if applicable)
5.) Examine all venting, for evidence of leaks, and vent screens are cleaned.
6.) Check the burner plate for signs of leaking.
7.) Verify the vent clearance as per Section 3.0
8.) Listen for water flow noises indicating a drop in boiler water flow rate. The boiler and hydronic
system my need to be flushed to eliminate hard water scale (Recommend using Fernox DS-40
de-scalar).
Inspection Check list:
13.1 Combustion Chamber Cleaning
Once every second year the burner door should be removed so the combustion chamber can be
inspected for flue gas blockage. Such blockage will reduce the boiler’s capacity/firing rate and can
impact negatively on how smooth and efficiently the burner lights. Vacuum out any loose build-up and
clean the heat exchanger surface with an appropriate cleaner for combustion chambers (recommend
using Sotin 300). Use nylon or other non-metallic brush to loosen the sulfate incrustations and any other
contaminates. Rinse with water allowing the solution to exit via the condensate drain. This process may
warrant removing the insulation disc from the back of the heat exchanger.
