DANGER
if flammable gas explodes. Beware if you smell gas: there may be an explosion hazard!
Warning: If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other boiler.
What to do if you smell gas
- Do not try to light any boiler.
- Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
Observe these instructions as general warnings:
– Chemicals used to clean the system and/or inhibit corrosion
must be pH neutral, i.e. they should ensure that the level of the pH in the system water remains neutral. Premature failure of certain components can occur if the pH level in the system water is out of normal levels.
– Raypak recommends that an inhibitor - suitable for use with
aluminum heat exchangers - is used to protect the boiler and system from the effects of corrosion and/or electrolytic action. The inhibitor must be administered in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
– A properly sized expansion tank must be installed in the boiler
system. No valve is to be placed between the boiler and the expansion tank.
– When the boiler has been filled for the first time or the system
has been drained and refilled, it will be necessary to purge any air that may have become trapped within the appliance heat exchanger.
NOTE: Glycol in the system must not exced 40%.
Observe these instructions for space heating water:
– Thoroughly flush the system prior to filling.
Only use untreated main water to fill and top off the system.
– Do not use water softners in the system. – Do not use inhibitors or other additives! – The maximum permissible flow rate of the XPAK 85 this is 5.7
GPM (1,300 ltr/hr), for the XPAK 120 is 6.2 GPM (1,400 ltr/hr).
– When using oxygen-permeable pipes, e.g. for floor heating
systems, you must separate the system using heat exchangers. Unsuitable heating system water promotes the formation of sludge and corrosion. This may damage the heat exchanger or affect its operation.
– A properly sized expansion tank must be installed in the boiler
system.
T ools, materials and additional equipment
For the installation and maintenance of the boiler you will need the standard tools for space heating, gas and water fitting. In addition, a handtruck with a fastening belt is very useful.
Disposal – Dispose of the boiler packaging in an environmentally sound
manner.
– Dispose of components of the heating system (e. g. boiler or
control device), that must be replaced, by handing them in to an authorized recycling facility.

2 - GENERAL SAFETY
T o meet domestic hot water use needs , the high limit safety control on this boiler is adjustable up to 140°F (60°C).Water temperatures over 125°F (50°C) can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the recommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F (50°C). Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs of the application. Water temperature over 125°F (50°C) can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• Temperature limiting valves are available. NOTE: When this boiler is supplying general purpose hot
water for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the boiler’s burner has shut off. To determine the water temperature being deliv ered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.
WARNING: This boiler cannot supply hot water for use by individuals directly. A heat exchanger must be used in conjunction with this boiler to meet DHW needs.
TIME/TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
The following chart 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.
Water Time to Produce Serious
Temperature Burn
120°F More than 5 minutes 125°F 1-1/2 to 2 minutes 130°F About 30 seconds 135°F About 10 seconds 140°F Less than 5 seconds 145°F Less than 3 seconds 150°F About 1-1/2 seconds 155°F About 1 second
Table courtesy of The Shriners Burn Institute The temperature of the water in the boiler can be regulated by
using the Raypak Remote Control REC08. To comply with safety regulations, the control is set when shipped from the factory.
CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of scalding! There is a hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.

BANNED MATERIAL STATEMENT:
No banned materials or substances have been used in the manufacture or production of this appliance or its inherent components
MANUAL HANDLING STATEMENT:
CAUTION: This appliance may require 2 or more persons to lift or carry it to the installation location; due to the weight of the appliance it may be necessary for two people to lift and attach the appliance to its mounting. To avoid the possibility of injury during the installation, servicing or cleaning of this appliance, care should be taken when handling component edges.
XPAK INTERNAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (FIG. 2)
MODE OF OPERATION
When there is a request for heat and/or hot water, via the programmer/time clock and/or any external control, the pump and fan are started, the fan speed will modulate until the correct signal voltage
is received at the control PCB. At this point an ignition sequence is enabled. Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic circuitry increases the gas rate to 75% of the MAX Heating (set by the corresponding HTG trimmer) for a period of 15 minutes. Thereafter, the boiler’s output will either increase to maximum or modulate to suit the set requirement. When the appliance reaches the desired temperature the burner will shut down and the boiler will perform a three-minute post purge (timer delay). When the request for heat has been satisfied the appliance pump and fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.
SAFETY DEVICES
When the appliance is in use, safe operation is ensured by:
- a water pressure switch that monitors system water pressure
and will de-activate the pump (when lockout condition is reached), fan and burner should the system water pressure drop below the rated tolerance;
- blocked flue switch that monitors flue pressure and will de-
activate burner should the flue pressure increase over the rated tolerance;
- fan speed sensor to ensure safe operation of the burner;
- a high limit thermostat that over-rides the temperature control
circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner;
- flame sensor that will shut down the burner when no flame signal
is detected;
- a sensor that interrupts the operation of the appliance if the
condensate pipe becomes blocked;
- a pressure relief valve which releases excess pressure from the
primary circuit;
- a flue sensor that controls the flue temperature continuously
checking to be right according the output;
- a flue thermostat that over-rides the temperature control circuit
to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner.

PREPARE XPAK LOCATION
1. INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH:
- Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and ordinances.
- National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition.
- National Electrical Code.
- For Canada only: B149 Installation Code, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local codes.
NOTICE: To prevent combustion air contamination when considering exhaust vent and intake air vent termination. Intake and exhaust may be vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall.
The intake and exhaust venting methods are detailed in the Venting Section. Do not attempt to install the XPak Boiler using any other means. Be sure to locate the boiler such that the air intake and exhaust vent piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated. The air intake and exhaust vent piping lengths, routing and termination method must all comply with the methods and limits given in the Venting section.
NOTICE: The XPak boiler gas manifold and controls meet safe lighting and other performance criteria as specified in ANSI Z21.13b 2007 – CSA 4.9b 2007
2. BEFORE LOCATING THE XPAK BOILER
1. Check for nearby connection to:
- System water piping
- Venting connections
- Gas supply piping
- Electrical power
2. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids.
WARNING: Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
3. The XPak must be installed so that gas control system
components are protected from dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
4. If the new XPak is to replace an existing boiler, check for and
correct any existing system problems such as:
- System leaks.
- Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
- Lack of freeze protection in heating water causing system and boiler to freeze and leak.
- Excessive glycol which will affect the boiler system operation.
3. CLEARANCES FOR SERVICE ACCESS
1. See figure for recommended service clearances. If you do not
provide minimum clearances shown, it might not be possible to service the boiler without removing it from the space.
WARNING: The space must be provided with combustion/ ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the same space as the XPak boiler. The boiler internal front cover must be securely fastened to the boiler to prevent boiler from drawing air from inside the boiler room in the case of sealed combustion operation. This is particularly important if the boiler is located in the same room as other appliances. Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in sev ere personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
4. RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION
Precautions Take the following special precautions when installing the XPak in a residential garage. If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1, paragraph 5.1.9:
- Mount the boiler with a minimum of 18 inches above the floor
of the garage to the bottom of the boiler to ensure the burner and ignition devices will be no less than 18 inches above the floor.
- Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
5. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR VENT
XPaks are rated ANSI Z21.13b 2007 – CSA 4.9b 2007 – Fired low pressure steam and hot water boilers. Category IV.(pressurized vent, likely to condense in the vent). Also installations with air dependent operation are allowed providing proper openings in the room are provided.
16
6. PREVENT COMBUSTION AIR CONTAMINATION
Install intake air piping for the XPak as described in the Venting section. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can allow contamination of intake air.
WARNING: You must pipe outside air to the boiler air intake for sealed combustion operation. Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below. Contaminated air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. For example, do not pipe intake air vent near a swimming pool. Also avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas may contain contaminants.
7. WHEN REMOVING AN EXISTING BOILER FROM AN EXISTING COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Do not install the XPak boiler into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
WARNING: Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation. a. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. b. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch and determine there is non blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
c. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and
all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
d. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the
lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
e. Any improper operation of the common venting system should
be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition. Correct by resizing to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Table 13 of ANSI Z223.1 2006 of that code. Canadian installations must comply with B149 Installation Code.

stored in a very cold location (below 0°F (-18°C)) before installation, handle with care until the plastic components come to room temperature.
1. REMOVE XPAK BOILER FROM BOX
1. XPak is heavy and awkward to lift. Care must be taken to place it in a safe location prior to installation on the wall to prevent damage to the bottom mechanical connections.
2. PLACING THE WALL-MOUNTED XPAK BOILER
XPak boilers are wall mounted. Use only the XPak boiler wall mounting instructions included in the box.
WARNING: The wall must be capable of carrying the weight of the boiler and its related components. The weights of the boiler are approximately: XPak 85 = 82 lbs (37 kg). XPak 120 = 93 lbs (42 kg). Failure to comply with above could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage
3. XPAK WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This boiler is heavy and awkward to lift. It is
recommended and safer to install the boiler with two people. Use caution as to not drop the boiler which could cause personal injury. Verify that the boiler is securely mounted before leaving the boiler unsupervised.
The wall must be vertically plumb and capable of carrying the weight of the XPak and its related components. The building frame (studs) must be 16" on center. If not, you must use 1/2" minimum plywood 24" x 48", fastened with at least (14) #12 x 3" (3/16" x 3") round head tapping screws to the frame of the building to provide proper support for the boiler. Alternate methods of mounting must not be used. (ex. toggle bolts, hollow wall anchors) or any other fastener other than #12 x 3" (3/16" x 3") round head tapping screws.
CAUTION: If the XPak is not vertically plumb, improper and unsatisfactory operation may occur. This will cause excessive condensation build-up causing unnecessary maintenance and nuisance fault codes.
4. INSTALLATION STEPS
Prior to lifting the XPak Boiler onto the wall, use the enclosed template to level and locate the wall bracket. Mount the wall bracket using lag screws. Ensure the bracket is level when mounted. Extreme care is needed to ensure the bolts are secured in the studs. Hang the boiler on the bracket and secure the bottom of the boiler with two (2) additional lag screws. This will provide additional strength and support to the XPak boiler.
XPAK PIPING
1. RELIEF VALVE
The XPak has a pressure relief valve factory fitted. Connect discharge piping to safe disposal location, following guidelines in the WARNING below:
WARNING: 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 valve discharge.
- Discharge line must be as short as possible and be the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.
- Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate no more than 6” (150 mm) above the floor drain where any discharge will be clearly visible. The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375 °F (190°C) or greater.
- Do not pipe the discharge to any place where freezing could occur.
- Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
- Test the operation of the valve after filling 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.
- For boilers installed with only a pressure relief valve, the separate storage vessel must have a temperature and pressure relief valve installed. This relief valve shall comply with the standard for Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22/CSA4.4.
- Failure to comply with the above guidelines could result in failure of the relief valve to operate, resulting in possibility of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
2. GENERAL PIPING INFORMATION
CAUTION: Use two wrenches when tightening water piping
at boiler, using one wrench to prevent the boiler return line or supply line from turning. Failure to support the boiler piping connections to prevent them from turning could cause damage to boiler components.
NOTICE: The XPak boiler control module uses temperature sensors to provide both high limit protection and modulating temperature control. The PCB also provides low water protection using a water pressure switch (minimum 6.5 psi (0.45 bar)) and blocked flue switch. Some codes/jurisdictions may require additional external controls for high limit and/or low water cutoff protection.
3. SEPARATE LOW WATER CUTOFF
A low water cutoff may be required by state local code or some insurance companies. Check code requirements before installation of the XPak boiler. If required:
- Use a low water cutoff designed for hydronic installations
- Follow low water cutoff manufacturer’s instructions
NOTICE:
A hot water boiler installed above radiation level or as required by the Authority having jurisdiction, must be provided with a low water cut off device either as apart of the boiler or at the time of the boiler installation.
4. BACKFLOW PREVENTER
Use a backflow preventer specifically designed for hydronic boiler installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water fill supply line per local codes.
5. FITTING THE HEATING CIRCUIT SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPES
NOTICE:
- To protect the entire heating system Raypak recommends installing a filter in the return circuit. When connecting the boiler to an existing heating system this filter must definitely be installed.
- Install shut-off valves immediately before and after the dirt particle filter to enable the filter to be cleaned.
- Install a filling and drain cock in the heating system supply pipe if required.
- Also install a safety valve in the system.
NOTICE: When using oxygen-permeable pipes, e. g. for floor heating systems, you must separate the system using heat exchangers.
- Thoroughly flush all pipes and radiators.
- Refer to the installation template for the pipe connection dimensions.
- Connect the pipes so that they are free from strain.
6. EXPANSION TANK AND MAKE-UP WATER
1. Ensure expansion tank size will handle boiler and system water volume and temperature. Allow 2 gallons for the boiler and its piping.
CAUTION: Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from relief valve and makeup water to be added through fill valve. Eventual failure can result due to excessive make-up water addition.
2. Expansion tank must be located near to the boiler as shown
in Piping “XPak installation diagrams”. No valve is to be placed between the boiler and the expansion tank.
7. SIZING SPACE HEAT SYSTEM PIPING
- Size the piping and components in the space heating system
using recognized design methods.
NOTICE:
- The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler and with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.
- The boiler piping system of a hot water boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
17
8. BOILER WITH DHW TANK
- Connect the external hot-water tank according to the Installation instructions of the hot-water tank and fittings concerned.
Domestic Hot Water Production via DHW Storage Tank
XPak boilers can be used in conjunction with the stand-alone DHW storage tanks. The boiler can control the DHW tank temperature directly from the boiler control panel. In case a tank sensor is installed (see boiler configuration jumpers Fig. 61) adjust the tank temperature via the DHW selector. The display shows the tank temperature if main selector in proper position. Boiler can accept also a DHW tank controlled by a thermostat (see boiler configuration jumpers Fig. 61), in this case the DHW set point can not be adjusted on the control panel but only on the tank thermostat (field supplied). Both cases the supplied water temperature to the tank is 176°F (80°C) and it goes ahead with priority over heating until the tank request is satisfied (either the sensor or the termostat open). The boiler can control a 3-way valve directly from the boiler control panel (see 3-way installations Fig. 38). Refer to electrical connections for 3-way valve installation. Size and select the DHW storage tank based on the forecast DHW consumption of the building in question. If different method of DHW production are used, the boiler flow temperature is set as heating mode (see boiler configuration jumpers Fig. 61).
9. WATERSIDE FLOW (PRIMARY CIRCUIT)
The boiler is designed only for closed loop, forced circulation hot water heating systems. XPak is equipped with an internal 3 speed pump.
PUMP DUTY
Fig. 6 below shows the flow-rate available – after allowing for pressure loss through the appliance – for system requirements. When using this graph, apply only the pressure loss of the system. The graph is based on a 36°F (20°C) temperature differential.
required system volume and capacity, no valve is to be placed between the boiler and the expansion tank.
6. Install an Air Elimination Device on the system supply if required, the boiler has two auto air vents built in.
7. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system. Note: The XPak has a proper internal drain valve. (see Fig. 42a)
8. The Safety Relief Valve is installed at the factory. Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Pipe the discharge to a maximum of 6” (152 mm) above the floor to a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as the safety relief valve outlet. Never block the
outlet of a safety relief valve.
11. FILL AND PURGE HEATING SYSTEM
CAUTION: For installation that incorporates standing Iron
Radiation and systems with manual vents at the high points. Follow above section and starting with the nearest manual air vent, open vent until water flows out, then close vent. Repeat procedure, working your way toward furthest air vent. It may be necessary to install a basket strainer in an older system where larger amounts of sediment may be present. Annual cleaning of the strainer may be necessary.
WARNING: Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions which are specially formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems. Glycol mixtures should not exceed 40%.
1.Glycol in hydronic applications which is specially formulated for this purpose includes inhibitors that prevent the glycol from attacking metallic system components. Make certain that the system fluid is checked for the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level.
2.The glycol solution should be tested at least once a year and as recommended by the glycol manufacturer.
3.Anti-freeze solutions expand more than water. Allowances must be made for this expansion in the system design.
CAUTION: The XPak should not be operated as a potable Hot Water Boiler. The XPak should not be operated in a open system.
10. PROCEDURE SUMMARY
1. Connect the system return marked “In”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Out”.
3. Install a Back Flow preventor on the Cold Feed Make-Up Water line.
4. Install a Pressure Reducing Valve if required on the Cold Feed Make-Up Water line, 15 PSI (1 bar) nominal on the system return. Check Pressure Gauge which should read minimum pressure of 12 PSI (0.8 bar)
5. Install an Expansion Tank on the system supply. Consult the tank manufacturer’s instruction for specific information relating to expansion tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the
