Maximum operating pressure 60 psi.
All boilers hydrostatically tested — A.S.M.E.
* For forced hot water heating systems where the boiler and all piping are
located within the area to be heated, the boiler may be selected on the basis
of D.O.E. capacity output. The net AHRI output ratings shown are based on
an allowance for piping and pickup of 1.15 (water). D.O.E. capacity output is
divided by the allowance to obtain net rating. The Slant/Fin Technical Service
department should be consulted before selecting a boiler for unusual piping
and pickup requirements such as intermittent system operation, extensive
piping, etc.
† Ratings apply to the use of light oil at 140,000 Btu per gallon and apply only
when burner models listed on pages 8 of this manual are used, and are
properly adjusted to produce 13% CO2.
# All dimensions subject to normal manufacturing tolerance.
NOTE: All boilers under 300,000 Btuh (87.9 kw) input are tested and rated for
capacity under the U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.) Test Procedures for
Boilers.

BOILER LOCATION
CAUTION: NEVER BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE
UNIT, AND NEVER LEAVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
AROUND IT.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler.
A. The foundation must be capable of supporting the weight of
the boiler when filled with water:
* Includes burner, circulator and controls
B. These boilers have full wet base sections which surround fire box for
maximum heat absorption of burning fuel, and low floor temperature.
C. The boiler can be installed on both combustible and non-combustible
floors, but must NOT be installed on or above carpeting.
D. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing electric wires
or telephone cables, consult local codes or the National Board of Fire
Underwriters for specific requirements.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
Provide accessibility clearance of 24" from surfaces requiring servicing (top
and front) and 20" on any side requiring passage. The boiler shall be
installed with the following MINIMUM clearances from combustible materials:
BACK-6"
SIDES-2"
NOTE: Except in closets and alcoves, clearances above may be reduced by
providing forms of protection as specified in NFPA 31, latest edition.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: AN OIL-FIRED UNIT SHALL BE CONNECTED TO
A VENT HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO
ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE UNIT.
• The terminal shall not be closer than 3 feet above or 10 feet horizontally
from any forced air inlet into the building.
• The terminal shall not be closer than 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally
or 1 foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet into the building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 3 ft from an inside corner of an “L”
shaped building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 7 ft above grade when located adjacent to
public walkways.
• The terminal shall not be less than 2 ft from an adjacent building.
• The terminal shall be located at a height not liable to blockage from leaves,
snow or other debris, at least 1 ft above grade or anticipated snow line.
• The terminal shall be positioned so that flue gases are not directed where
they can jeopardize people, overheat combustible structures or enter
buildings.
• Vent terminal should be away from shrubbery or other obstructions that
would prevent free air flow to and from vent terminal. Do not terminate vent
under decks, stairways or car ports. When ever possible, locations under
windows should be avoided.
• Vent termination should not be mounted directly above or within 3 ft
horizontally from an oil tank vent.
BOILER INTERNAL BAFFLES
IMPORTANT
: EC-10 series boilers Direct Vent version is different from
standard series. Direct Vent version boilers usually have fewer internal cast
iron baffles.
VENT PIPING
A. The vent piping minimum bend radius is 12”.
B. Place metal strapping every 36” to support vent pipe and
prevent it from sagging.
C. Maximum wall thickness is 14”. Contact Slant/Fin Corp. for
recommendations in case of thicker wall.
D. Gases will form white plume in winter. Plume could obstruct
window view.
E. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and water/ice
buildup on building, plants or roof.
F. Locate or guard vent to prevent accidental contact by people or pets,
and condensate from damaging exterior finish.
G. Do not terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard
or other recessed areas.
All venting kits must be double wall construction for the flue gas piping. Field
Controls is the only approved manufacturer for venting kits. When installing
the vent kits the manufacturers instructions must be followed.

Figure 2. Typical Installation
PIPING
IMPORTANT
: Boilers are to be used with closed system. Any application that
uses water from system, causes the introduction of a frequent supply of fresh
water into the boiler. This will cause damage to the boiler. Use of heat
exchangers will prevent this damage.
PIPING FOR WATER UNITS
NOTE: On knock down boiler only, jacket may be installed after return piping
connection, but must be installed prior to adding trim & supply piping.
I. CIRCULATING SYSTEM
A. FORCED CIRCULATION hot water heating system: Use the top
tapping as supply tapping, and use the rear bottom tappings for
the return.
B. A FLOW CONTROL VALVE will prevent gravity circulation.
II. AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS
A. DIAPHRAGM-TYPE COMPRESSION TANKS are used to control
system pressure in an AIR ELIMINATING SYSTEM: an automatic
air vent is used to REMOVE air from the system water. See figure 3.
EUTECTIC EC-10 DV
5
If system pressure needs further control, add an additional tank or install a
larger capacity tank. The automatic air vent should be installed in the top of
the boiler, as in figure 3.
B. CONVENTIONAL COMPRESSION TANKS (non-diaphragm type) are
used to control system pressure in an AIR COLLECTING SYSTEM. Within
the system, after initial start-up and venting, air is collected in the tank and
acts in contact with the water to control pressure. Air is not vented from this
system. If system pressure needs further control, add another tank in
parallel with the original tank or install a large capacity tank. Locate the
tank at the inlet end of the pump near the boiler. (See figure 3)
C. HOT WATER RADIATION VENTING - Manual air vents should be installed
at the top of all "drops" (where piping goes downward). Air must be vented
or purged from all zone lines to permit proper system heating.
D. PUMP LOCATION - Locating low-head pump(s) on return to boiler is
acceptable for smaller boiler sizes in residences of one or two stories.
The pump location shown in figure 3 is required in large, multi-story
building installations, especially when high-head pumps are used.
IMPORTANT: Hot water heating systems containing high water volume, such
as would occur with cast iron radiation, require special care with air elimination. The circulator pump should be located on the boiler supply pipe and the
expansion tank and air scoop should be located near the pump suction.
INSTALLING THE BURNER
See Burner Data, pages 12-13, and Burner Manual supplied with burner. If
burner is not mounted as received, mount to boiler, placing flange over
mounting studs. Use gasket between flange and boiler. Distance between
flange and nose of burner must be as shown in table on page 12 (Burner
Insertion Depth). Check to see that nozzle and settings are as given in burner
data tables, pages 12-13.
