NATURAL GAS FIRED BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so
hat the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See
t
Appendix B for vent terminal location restrictions.)
The location should also be such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement,
etc.).

Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves must NOT be
installed in locations where propane leaking from defective
equipment and piping will "pool" in a basement or other
space below the leak.
A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignite
the accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near the chimney as possible so that the flue
pipe from boiler to chimney is short and direct.
The UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE may be in effect in
your geographic area.
The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORM
MECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6:
"LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-burning
appliances shall not be installed in a pit, basement or
similar location where hea
Appliances so fueled shall not be installed in an abo
grade under-floor space or basement unless such location is provided with an approved means for removal of
unburned gas."
Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL
CODE for design criteria of the "approved" means for
removal of unburned gas.

A. Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at
least 2" past the jacket on all sides. See dimensions of

FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Victory series boiler is a high efficiency, mechanically
induced draft boiler and, therefore, requires different venting
arrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency boilers.

If this boiler is replacing a boiler which is connected to a
common venting system with other natural draft, gas fired
appliances, the removal of the existing boiler from the venting system is likely to cause the system to be too large for
proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it.

A. Figures 7 and 8 show the allowed venting arrange-
ments. The maximum equivalent vent length is 40 feet
plus vent terminal for all models except V-180 which
has a 20 feet maximum equivalent vent length. Every
90° turn in the vent piping is equivalent to 5 feet of
straight run, (eg. a V-120 system with 3 elbows and the
outside terminal would allow 40 - 15 = 25 feet of
straight run). The minimum allowable equivalent vent
length is 2 feet and 1 elbow plus vent terminal for all
models, see table below. NOTE: For best operation,
elbows should be at least five diameters apart otherwise maximum vent length should be reduced.

NATURAL DRAFT CHIMNEY AND TYPE “B”VENTING
V-90, V-120, V-150 and V-180 boilers may be vented into a
chimney (see “Chimney and type “B” venting” paragraph on
page 4) or into a type “B” vent, ONLY when converted to the
5" dia. Slant/Fin flue collar supplied unassembled with these
boilers and ONLY as described here, other places in this
booklet and in figures 6a and 6b.
PRESSURE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL VENTING
V-33, V-60, V-90, V-120, V-150 and V-180 may be vented
horizontally and vertically ONLY when boilers are equipped
with the Slant/Fin factory installed 3" dia. flue collar and
adapter is used ONLY as described here, other places in
this booklet and figures 7, 8 and 9.
The condensate drain should be installed as close to the
boiler as possible.The drain fitting size is 3/8" or
1/2"depending on the type of drain assembly. Clear plastic
tubing (3/8" I.D. or 1/2” I.D.) sized to fit the fitting must be
connected to the drain fitting. The clear tubing should be
formed into approximately a 4-5 inch diameter loop to form
a trap.The loop should be tied with cord or a cable tie
where the loop crosses over itself. See figures 6,7,8 and 9.
This loop should then be filled with water to form a liquid
filled trap. DO NOT OPERATE THE BOILER WITHOUT
INSTALLING THIS TRAP AND FILLING WITH WATER.
Periodic inspection should be made of this assembly for
deterioration of the tubing and to insure that the trap is not
plugged. If it is plugged or appears to have excessive
sediment in it, it should be removed from the drain assem-
bly, straightened out to clear the obstruction, reformed,
filled with water and reinstalled as before. The drain
should extend to a floor drain or to a plastic container
which will require emptying periodically.
D. WHEN VENTING HORIZONTALLY, COMMON VENTING
WITH OTHER APPLIANCES IS NOT ALLOWED.

Note, that when using a 3" diameter vent for vertical pressure
venting, a chimney may be used as a chase for a vertical vent

total length of the chimney but not longer than the equivalent
length limitations indicated on page 5 under

The homeowner should look over the system monthly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust, other corrosion or separation
of the flue (vent) tubing and fittings.
B. Should an inspection turn up signs of condensation, corrosion
or damage, the boiler should be shut down immediately and the
condition should be corrected by a qualified professional.
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 below to select proper pipe size.
Example: Boiler model V-150 is to be installed. Distance from
gas meter to the boiler is 30 ft. Heating value of natural gas is
