GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES
The vent installation must be in accordance with
Part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54–
latest revision or applicable provisions of the local
building codes. Canadian installations must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 Installation Code. Improper venting can result in excessive levels of
carbon monoxide which can result in severe personal injury or death!
All vent systems must be fully supported by the building structure
and not by the boiler/water heater. Appropriate thimbles and  re­stops must be used where required.
Common vent systems must be properly engineered
and sized to provide a negative draft of 0.03 inch,
0.8mm to 0.1 inch, 2.5 mm W.C. at the flue outlet. Common positive pressure vent systems are not to be used. Improper installation can result in excessive levels
of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal
injury or death!
Common-vent systems  The boiler closest to
the vertical vent must be assigned as the master boiler and always  red FIRST to ensure proper
draft and reliable operation
if any questions. Improper installation can result in
excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or death!
. Consult the factory
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 exhaust, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan for a boiler installation. Close  replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the dra hood relief opening a er 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the  ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigare e, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,  replace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate Tablesin Appendix F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 and or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
VENT SYSTEM OPTIONS
The flue products in the vent system may be cooled below their
dew point and form condensate in the  ue.  e materials used for a
Category IV vent must be resistant to any corrosive damage from  ue
gas condensate.  e  ue from a Category IV vent system must have a condensate drain with provisions to properly collect and dispose of any condensate that may occur in the venting system.
Category IV vent/air piping lengths must not exceed
100equivalent feet. If longer runs are required, use a
Category II (negative pressure) vent system, specially engineered/designed to meet all applicable codes.
EXISTING COMMON VENT SYSTEMS
If an existing boiler/water heater is removed from an existing common venting system, the common venting system may then be too large for the proper venting of the remaining appliances connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler/water heater, 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.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion and other de ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. 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

damage! Excessive water hardness causing scaling in the copper heat exchanger tubes is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. See Table8, page20. Excessive pi ing and erosion of the internal surface
of the copper heat exchanger tubes is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty if the result of high water  ow rates. See Table7, page16. Return water temperatures below 140oF, 60oC will result in heat
exchanger damage from excessive condensation voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, see Primary/ Secondary Piping. See Figure9, page15.
Shut o valves and unions should be installed at the
inlet and outlet connections of the boiler/hot water
heater to provide for isolation of the unit should
servicing be necessary.
Freeze protection
Installations in areas where the danger of freezing exists are not recommended unless proper freeze protection is provided. The following precautions MUST be observed:
1. A continuous flow of water through the unit MUST be maintained! The pump responsible for flow through the
boiler/water heater must run continuously!
2. An ethylene glycol/water mixture suitable for the minimum temperature that the unit will be exposed to must be used. The pump must be capable of producing
a minimum of 15% more flow and overcoming a 20% increase in head loss. Domestic water systems must be isolated from the water heater by the use of a heat exchanger or
other approved method.
3. If the unit must be shut off for any reason the electric, gas and water supplies MUST be shut off and the unit and its pump completely drained.
Improper outdoor installation of this unit can cause
boiler failure voiding the manufacturer’s warranty!
Flow Switch
 e  ow switch supplied with the boiler/water heater must be wired to the terminal strip in the control panel to prevent the boiler from  ring unless there’s adequate water  ow through the unit.  e  ow
switch must be installed in the supply piping adjacent to the boiler outlet connection.
Failure to properly install the  ow switch may result
in damage to the boiler/water heater heat exchanger
voiding the warranty!
HEATING SYSTEM PIPING
General piping requirements
All heating system piping must be installed by a quali ed technician
in accordance with the latest revision of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, and ANSI/ASME CSD-1, Standard
for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers. All applicable local codes and ordinances must also be followed. A minimum clearance of 1 inch, 25 mm must be maintained between heating system pipes and all combustible construction. All heating system piping must be supported by suitablehangers not the boiler.  e thermal expansion of the system must be considered when supporting the system.

Primary/secondary piping
Boilers connected to heating systems using zone valves, zone pumps,
or systems that have excessive  ow rates or return water temperatures
less than 140oF, 60oC must be isolated from these systems to protect the boiler.
Variable water  ows
Figure10, shows a typical primary/secondary piping system. A dedicated pump is used to maintain a constant water flow through the boiler.  is boiler pump is sized to overcome the head
loss of the boiler and near-boiler piping system while supplying the  ow rate required to maintain the desired temperature rise across the boiler heat exchanger.  e system pump is sized to provide the required  ow to the heating system.  e boiler piping connections to the heating system piping must be a maximum 6 pipe diameters
between centers to ensure zero pressure drop in the primary system.
Low return water temperatures
To prevent the problems associated with condensation of the
products of combustion due to low return water temperatures a
primary/secondary piping system with a bypass and bypass valve
must be installed, see Figures11 and 12.  e bypass system must be
sized the same as the secondary piping.  e primary and secondary
pumps should be sized to provide the required  ow through each
system.  e boiler piping connections to the heating system piping
must be a maximum 6 pipe diameters between centers to ensure zero
pressure drop in the primary system.
Multiple boiler systems
Systems using multiple boilers can also be installed using a primary/
secondary manifold system, Figure13.
Piping for use with cooling units
The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration
system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped
in parallel with the boiler. Appropriate valves must be used to prevent the chilled water from entering the boiler.
Low water cuto
If a boiler is installed above any radiation elements it must be   ed with a low water cuto device.
When a boiler is connected to a heating coil that may be exposed to refrigerated air from an air handling device, the piping system
must be equipped with  ow-control valves or some other automatic
means of preventing gravity circulation of the boiler water during the
cooling cycle.
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the boiler/water heater for proper wiring connections.
Expansion tank and air separator
An expansion tank or other means to control thermal expansion
must be installed in the heating system. An expansion tank must be installed close to the boiler on the suction side of the pump. An air scoop and automatic air vent must also be installed to eliminate air trapped in the system.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY PIPING
Proper controls must be used to prevent water supplied
for domestic use from exceeding 130oF, 5 4oC or a scald injury will occur! When higher water temperatures are required for appliances such as a dishwasher, a mixing valve or some other tempering means must be installed. Households with small children may require water temperatures less than 120oF, 49oC. Local codes must be complied with!
General piping requirements
Ensure that the water heater is equipped with bronze headers. Piping
and components connected to the water heater must be suitablefor use with potablewater.  e water heater must not be connected to any heating system piping or components previously used w ith a non­potablewater heating appliance. No toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, are to be introduced into the potablewater used for space heating. If a hot water storage tank is used in the system it must be equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve that complies with ANSI Z21.22 or CAN-4.4 and CAN-4.6.
 e storage tank must be located as close to the water
heater as possible to prevent excessive head loss which will reduce  ow.
Water chemistry
 e required temperature rise across the water heater is based on
water having a hardness between 8 and 18 grains per gallon with
a level of dissolved solids not exceeding 350 ppm. Water having a hardness less than 8 grains can cause excessive corrosion of the heat exchanger. Water that has a hardness greater than 18 grains per gallon and/or a level of dissolved solids exceeding 350 ppm will require a recalculation of the pump size and temperature rise.
A cupronickel heat exchanger may also be required. The
manufacturer should be consulted when these water conditions are encountered. See Table8, page20.
 e maximum allowable  ow rate through a Futera XLF
water heater is 260GPM, 16.4L when equipped with copper tubes.  e cupronickel heat exchanger allows for 315GPM, 19.9L/s. See Table9, page20.
RBI water heaters are designed to run scale free. Due to
the extreme variables of water conditions world wide it is necessary to consider pH values and water hardness in relationship to scaling. It is crucial to consider these two variables
when making heat exchanger and pump selections. If local water
conditions are extreme, follow the guidelines in the Heat Exchanger
TEMPERATURE RISE CONTROL
Water returned to the water heater inlet must
not be less than 140oF, 60oC or excessive condensation of the products of combustion will damage the water heater, voiding the warranty.
 e method outlined below can be employed to
prevent this condition from occurring.
A balancing valve should be installed on the
outlet side of the water heater for purposes of adjusting the flow rate through the heat exchanger. Thermometers are installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water heater for determining the temperature rise through the unit.
The proper velocity through the water heater
must be maintained in accordance with Table9, page20 for e cient operation and long life. If the temperature rise through the water heater is lower than recommended the water velocity is too high. Premature erosion of the heat exchanger will occur. Conversely, if the temperature rise is higher than recommended in Table9, page20 the  ow rate is too low. Scaling and so ening of the heat exchanger will occur.
ermostatic Mixing Valve – Water Above 140
60oC Water can be stored at temperatures above
140oF, 60oC provided that a thermostatically
controlled mixing valve is used to temper the hot water to an acceptabletemperature before it’s supplied for domestic use.
e mixing valve MUST be set to prevent a scald
injury from occurring, see the caution against scalding.
Storage of water for domestic use above 140
60oC will provide an increased quantity of tempered water and help prevent the growth of water born bacteria.

Selection Table(Table8) and the Pumping Performance Table (Table9). Scale free operation can be achieved by using water with a hardness between8 and18 and by maintaining the pH between5 and9. Follow the conditions listed under NORMAL in the table. In some areas of the country additional precautions must be observed due to unusual characteristics of the local water supply. Call the nearest RBI representative for details.
To properly size the pump a grain hardness
and pH test must be taken at the installation site before the order is placed. Proper pump sizing will improve heater performance and help ensure heater longevity.
Expansion Tank
An expansion tank or other means to control
thermal expansion must be installed in the water heating system if back  ow prevention devices are installed.
Pump Requirements
This low-mass water heater requires a
continuous minimum water flow for proper operation. The low water flow switch provided for this unit will shut down the water heater if  ow falls below the required minimum level.

GAS SUPPLY PIPING
Check the boiler/water heater rating plate
to make sure that the boiler/water heater is for the type of gas that will be used. If it isn’t, do not
connect the boiler/water heater to the gas supply. Gas
supply piping must be in accordance with the National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest revision or applicable provisions of the local building codes. Canadian installations must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
 e Futera XLF comes from the factory ready to be piped to the gas
supply. If for any reason the boiler/water heater is not for the type of gas available at the installation site, call your RBI representative to resolve the problem.
With all units operating the gas supply pressure (natural
gas) at the safety shuto valve inlet must be:
Minimum 3.5inches, 88.9mm, W.C. Maximum 14inches, 356mm, W.C.
Tables10 and 11 should be used to ensure that the gas supply piping
is sized properly. If more than one appliance is supplied by the same supply pipe, the piping must be sized based on the maximum possible demand. Do not neglect the pressure drop due to pipe   ings. Table10 should be used in conjunction with Table11 to ensure that the gas supply piping has the capacity to meet the demand.
Figure 16 Gas Supply Piping
Figure16 depicts the proper way to connect the boiler/ water heater to the gas supply piping.  e manual shut-o valve MUST be installed in the supply piping. It should be installed 5  , 1.5 m above the  oor where required by local codes. Provide a sediment trap at the bo om of the vertical section of the gas supply pipe upstream of the gas controls.

GENERAL OPERATION
Before proceeding read and fully understand the
instructions contained in this manual. Do not a empt to operate this boiler/water heater if it has not been installed in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this manual. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut o , turn o the manual gas control valve to the appliance. Do not interrupt water  ow through the boiler/water heater.
Hydronic heating boilers
Open the make-up water valve and slowly  ll the boiler and all of the radiation with water. Ensure that all bleed and drain valves are closed.
Adjust the make-up water pressure regulator so a minimum 12 psig,
82.7 kPa system pressure is maintained at the highest point in the system piping. If a make-up water pump is used adjust it to maintain a minimum 12 psig, 82.7 kPa system pressure.
Open the system bleed and drain valves, one at a time, to purge the air trapped in the heating system piping.
With the boiler off, run the system pump for at least 30
minutes and bleed the system piping using the bleed valves. If strainers are used in the system piping, the make- up water valve should be closed and the strainers checked and cleaned.
 e system expansion tank should be checked to ensure that the
correct water level in the tank is maintained.  e tank should be less than half full of water with the system full and adjusted to the correct operating pressure.
Start the boiler as described in the “Operating Instructions” section. Run the boiler for at least an hour. The system pump(s) and all radiation units must be operated during this time. Ensure that the make-up water valve is open.
Shut the boiler off and open the bleed valves to purge the air trapped in the heating system piping. Close the make­up water valve and check and clean the strainers and make-up water pressure reducing valve.
Open the make-up water valve and adjust the system pressure if necessary.  e system should be checked and bled a er three days of operation.
WIRING & CONTROL SETUP
Follow the instructions in the Futera XLF Control
installation and operation instruction manual shipped with the boiler to wire the boiler and set up the HeatNet control.  e control must be set up before a empting to  re the boiler.

Required gas pressure
Provide gas supply pressure at inlet to boiler gas train as follows:
Gas supply pressure (Nat/LP)
Inches
water column
Minimum (in W.C.) 3.5 88.9
Maximum (in W.C.) 14 356
mm
water column
If the gas pressure is above the limit in the table below,
a lock-up style gas pressure regulator suitablefor dead-
end service, (such as an Equimeter or Fisher) must be installed to prevent increase (creep) of gas pressure when the units are not operating.
This pressure regulator (supplied by others) may
be installed at the service entrance to each unit or
a “master” regulator sized to handle multiple units may be utilized. Consult local gas utility or regulator manufacturer for recommendations to meet speci c job site requirements.
Input rate — Natural gas
Gas appliances are rated based on sea level operation with
no adjustment required at elevations up to 2000 ft, 610 m.
At elevations above 2000 ft, 610 m input ratings should
be reduced by 4% for each 1000 , 305m.
Check the input rate as follows:
1. Turn o all other gas appliances that use the same gas meter as the boiler/water heater.
2. Call your gas supplier and ask for the heating value
of the gas.
3. Start the boiler/water heater and let it run for 15 minutes.
4. Using the gas meter and a stopwatch, clock the time that it takes to burn 10
5. Insert the heating value and the time, in seconds, into the formula
below.
6. Input = (heating value, Btu/hr)(3600)/(time, seconds)
7. If the computed rate deviates by more than 5% from the rated input value of the unit, consult factory.

, 0.28m3 of gas and divide this time by 10.
Never increase the input to the boiler/water heater
above that for which it is rated. Doing so can cause
premature failure of the boiler!
1. Measure pressure when the boiler is firing at full rate. Low gas pressure could indicate undersized gas line or insu cient gas supply.
2. Static and operating gas pressure required at the gas valve inlet is listed in the Tableabove.

F, 121oC, for boilers and 210oF, 99oC for
water heaters.
c. The aquastat high limit cannot be repaired. If it fails to
function properly, replace it.
6. Visually check the pilot and main burner  ames to ensure proper operation, see Figure21.
A yellow,  oating  ame indicates a lack of combustion
air. Do not operate the boiler/water heater until the problem is solved or severe personal injury or death may occur!
2. For pilot gas pressure and pilot air pressure readings, DO NOT connect the other side of the manometer. Leave the other side open to room pressure.
3. For Ps (pressure signal) readings, connect the other side of
the manometer to the manometer reference port as shown in Figure 22. These pressure signals may be used for troubleshooting when speci ed by factory support.
4. Figure23, page32 shows the sensor hose connections inside the
FuteraXLF air box.
