WARNING
SPECIAL ATTENTION FOR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM
(L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILER INSTALLATIONS
LPG appliances (boilers) shall be installed in accordance
with applicable provisions of NFPA 58 ( Liquefied Petroleum
Gas Code) latest edition for installations in US and
CAN/CGA B149.1 latest edition for installations in Canada.
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air
therefore Propane gas accumulate at floor level. If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to operate boiler. A spark or flame
from the appliance (boiler) or other sources may ignite the
accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire. It is
recommended that inspections for gas leaks be performed
periodically by licensed professional and that leak detection
devices be installed as a further safety measure.
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
A. Sentinel boilers may be vented into a masonry vitreous tile-
lined chimney or type “B” venting system NOT EXPOSED
to the OUTDOORS below the roof line.
Venting and sizing of venting system must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1,
NFPA 54, -latest edition which will be referred to as the
National Fuel Gas Code. Local codes apply.
If a masonry chimney is exposed to the outdoors on one or
more sides below the roof line (exterior chimney), ONE of
the following options apply:
1. Chimney must be re-lined with a metallic liner. When
this is done, the chimney will be considered NOT
exposed to the outdoors and the requirements of the
National Fuel Gas Code for NON-exposed chimneys
and/or local codes will apply.
2. If an exposed tile-lined chimney is to be used WITHOUT a metallic liner, the boiler must first meet the
requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code:
B. If an existing boiler is removed from a common venting
system, the common venting system may be too large
for proper venting of the remaining appliances connected
to the common vent. Follow the test procedure shown in
Appendix “A” on page 19 of this manual to insure proper
operation of venting system and appliances.
C. Inspect for proper and tight construction. Any restrictions
or obstructions must be removed. An existing chimney may
require cleaning.
D. Chimney or vent must extend at least 3 feet above any
ridge within 10 feet of the chimney.

supported to prevent sagging by securing each joint with metal
screws and by providing hanger spaced no greater than 5 feet
apart.
D. Vent or breeching into chimney should not be inserted past
the inside wall of the chimney liner.
E. All venting means should be inspected frequently. See
Care and Maintenance and separate User's Information
Manual.
VENT DAMPER INSTALLATION
The vent damper referred to in the following instructions
is the Slant/Fin Corporation vent damper.
This device is design certified by A.G.A. for use ONLY on specific Slant/Fin Corp. gas boiler models. These boilers must
also be equipped with a label which states that the boiler must
be used with a Slant/Fin Corp. automatic vent damper device
and indicates the proper vent damper model number.
A. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START TO
INSTALL
1. Read this installation manual, the "DANGER" label
attached to the top of the boiler, the "WARNING" on the
wiring diagrams, vent damper carton and operator
cover.
2. Perform pre-installation inspection as required by ANSI
specification Z21.66. (See Vent Damper Instructions.)
3. Select a proper, convenient location for vent damper.
Vent damper may be installed vertical or horizontal on
all models (see figures 1 and 2).
4. Carefully unpack the unit. DO NOT FORCE IT OPEN OR
CLOSED! Forcing the damper may damage the gear
train and void the warranty.

WARNING—DANGER
Once you have begun vent damper installation procedure,
DO NOT restore electric power and gas supply until installation and inspection have been completed (in order to prevent
the main burners from operating). DO NOT operate the boiler
until the vent damper harness is plugged into vent damper
operator. Failure to observe this warning may create a
hazardous condition that could cause an explosion or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
B. 1. This device must be installed after the boiler draft hood
(between the draft hood outlet and the connector to the
outdoor chimney or vent) as close to the draft hood as
practicable, and without modification of the draft hood or
the vent damper. (See figure 1 and 2.)
2. The inlet size of the vent damper must be the same
nominal trade size as the outlet of the draft hood.
3. This device must be located in a venting system or section of a venting system so that it serves only the single
appliance for which it is installed. (See figure 3.)
4. Clearances of not less than 6 inches (152MM) must be
maintained from combustible materials, with provisions
for service access.
C. AFTER INSTALLATION:
1. Operate system through two complete cycles to check for
opening and closing in proper sequence, and proper
burner operation. DAMPER MUST BE IN OPEN POSITION WHEN BOILER MAIN BURNERS ARE
OPERATING.
2. Perform installation checks as required by ANSI specification Z21.66. (See Vent Damper Instructions.)
3. Check the troubleshooting section if problems arise with
the installation.
GAS PIPING
A. Local installation codes apply. The pipe joint compound used
on threads must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
B. The gas supply line to the boiler should be run directly from
the meter for natural gas or from the fuel tank for L.P. propane
gas. See page 2 for location of union and manual main shutoff
valve that may be specified locally.
Selecting pipe size for natural gas:
1. Measure or estimate the length of piping from the meter to
the installation site.
2. Consult gas supplier for heating value of gas (BTU/cu. ft.).
3. Divide boiler rated input by heating value to find gas flow in
piping (cu. ft. per hour).
4. Use table A to select proper pipe size.
Example: Boiler model SE-175 is to be installed. Distance from
gas meter to the boiler is 20 ft. Heating value of natural gas is
1020 BTU/cu. ft. Select proper pipe size.
Gas flow = 175,000 BTU/hour
= 171.5 cu. ft. per hour
1020 BTU/cu.ft.
At 20 ft. length of pipe, match required capacity from Table
A (choose higher capacity, in this case is 190 cu. ft. per
hour). Required pipe size is 3/4".
Improper gas pipe sizing will result in pilot flame outages,
insufficient heat and other installation difficulties. For more
information and also if other appliances are to be attached
to the piping system, see Appendix C of National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1-latest edition.
C. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested
before placing the boiler in operation. Use liquid soap solution for all gas leak testing. DO NOT use open flame.
This boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 PSIG. This boiler must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG. This
boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
D. All gas piping used should be inspected thoroughly for
cleanliness before makeup. A sediment trap must be provided, as illustrated on page 2.
E. The minimum and maximum gas supply pressure (at the
inlet of gas valve) are shown on the boiler rating plate for
the type of gas used. Gas supply pressure should never be
less than minimum or more than maximum pressure when
the boiler or any other appliance is turned on or off.
