3 - INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
!
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance could result in death or serious
injury.
1.
Installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, and/or Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.
2.
Where required by authority having jurisdiction,
installation must conform to the Standard for Controls
and Safety Devices for Automatically red Boilers,
ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
3.
Boiler series is classied as a Category I. Vent
installation shall be in accordance with "Venting of
Equipment ," of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or "Venting Systems and Air Supply
for Appliances," of the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1, or applicable
provisions of the local building codes.
4.
Boiler has met safe lighting and other performance
criteria with gas manifold and control assembly on
boiler per latest revision of ANSI Z21.13/CGA 4.9.
5.
Boiler shall be installed such that gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and
service, (circulator replacement, condensate trap,
control replacement, etc.).
6.
Locate boiler on level, solid base as near chimney as
possible and centrally located with respect to heat
distribution system as practical.
7.
Allow 24 inches (610mm) at front and right side for
servicing and cleaning.
8.
When installed in utility room, door should be wide
enough to allow largest boiler part to enter, or to
permit replacement of another appliance such as water
heater.
!
WARNING
Fire hazard. Do not install boiler on combustible
ooring or carpeting. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
9.
FOR INSTALLATION ON NON-COMBUSTIBLE
FLOORS ONLY - For installation on combustible
ooring special base must be used. (See Replacement
Parts Section.) Boiler can not be installed on
carpeting. Minimum clearances to combustible
construction are:
TOP ....................................18 IN. (457mm)
FRONT .........................................ALCOVE *
FLUE CONNECTOR ................. 6 IN. (152mm)
REAR....................................8 IN. (229mm)
CONTROL SIDE ................... ..9 IN. (76mm)
OTHER SIDE............................3 IN. (76mm)
HOT WATER PIPING ................. 2 IN. (51mm)
NOTE: Greater clearances for access should supersede fire
protection clearances.
* Denition of Alcove is three sided space with no wall in
front of boiler. ANSI standard for alcove is 18 inches from
front of appliance to leading edge of side walls as shown
below.

4 - VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR
Provide combustion air and ventilation air in accordance
with the section “Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or Sections
8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 of Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CSA B149.1, or applicable provisions of local
building codes.
Provide make-up air where exhaust fans, clothes dryers,
and kitchen ventilation equipment interfere with proper
operation.
National Fuel Gas Code recognizes several methods
of obtaining adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Requirements of the authority having jurisdiction may
override these methods.
• Engineered Installations. Must be approved by
authority having jurisdictions.
• Mechanical Air Supply. Provide minimum of 0.35
cfm per Mbh for all appliances located within space.
Additional requirements where exhaust fans installed.
Interlock each appliance to mechanical air supply
system to prevent main burner operation when
mechanical air supply system not operating.
• All Indoor Air. Calculate minimum volume for all
appliances in space. Use a different method if
minimum volume not available.
о Standard Method. Cannot be used if known air
inltration rate is less than 0.40 air changes per
hour. See Table 3 for space with boiler only. Use
equation for multiple appliances.
Volume ≥ 50 ft3 x Total Input [Mbh]
о Known Air Inltration Rate. See Table 3 for
space with boiler only. Use equation for multiple
appliances. Do not use an air inltration rate
(ACH) greater than 0.60.
Volume ≥ 21 ft3/ACH x Total Input [Mbh]
о Refer to National Fuel Gas Code for opening
requirements between connection indoor spaces.
National Gas and Propane Installation Code Requires
providing air supply in accordance with:
• All Outdoor Air. Provide permanent opening(s)
communicating directly or by ducts with outdoors.
о Two Permanent Opening Method. Provide opening
commencing within 12 inches of top and second
opening commencing within 12 inches of bottom
enclosure.
Direct communication with outdoors or
communicating through vertical ducts. Provide
minimum free area of 1 in2 per 4 Mbh of total
input rating of all appliances in enclosure.
Communicating through horizontal ducts.
Provide minimum free area of 1 in2 per 2
Mbh of total input rating of all appliances in
enclosure.
о One Permanent Opening Method. Provide opening
commencing within 12 inches of top of enclosure.
Provide minimum clearance of 1 inch on sides
and back and 6 inches on front of boiler (does not
supersede clearance to combustible materials).
о Combination Indoor and Outdoor Air. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code for additional requirements
for louvers, grilles, screens and air ducts.
• Combination Indoor and Outdoor Air. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code for application information.
• Section 8.2 and 8.3 when combination of appliances
has a total input of up to and including 400 Mbh (120
kW).
• Section 8.4 when combination of appliances has total
input exceeding 400 Mbh (120 kW).
• Refer to Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code
for specic air supply requirements for enclosure
or structure where boiler is installed, including air
supply openings and ducts.

!
WARNING
Burn or Scald Hazard. Discharge line shall be installed to relief valve outlet connection to avoid burns,
scalding, or water damage due to discharge of steam and/or hot water during operation.
Discharge line shall:
• connect to relief valve outlet and piped down to safe point of disposal. Check local codes for maximum
distance from oor or allowable safe point of discharge.
• be of pipe size equal to or greater than that of the relief valve outlet over the entire length of discharge
line;
• have no intervening shutoff valve between safety relief valve and discharge to atmosphere (do not plug or
place any obstruction in discharge line.
• terminate freely to atmosphere where any discharge will be clearly visible and at no risk of freezing;
• allow complete drainage of the valve and the discharge line;
• be independently supported and securely anchored to avoid applied stress on the relief valve;
• be as short and straight as possible;
• terminate with plain end (not threaded);
• be constructed of material suitable for exposure to temperatures of 375° F (191°C); or greater.
Refer to local codes and appropriate ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for additional installation
requirements.
