WELCOME TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMER

You are now the owner of a Slant/Fin Victory II
gas-fired boiler, another quality heating product
designed and manufactured by an industry leader,
to provide your family with many years of reliable
comfort and trouble-free performance.

The care and maintenance of your new boiler is
important to prevent a hazardous condition which
might result from lack of proper servicing.
Therefore, you should perform regular “owner”
inspections as described in this manual (and report
any concerns to a qualified service technician) as
well as have your boiler serviced by a qualified
service technician at least once a year, preferably
before the beginning of each heating season.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Locate, read and then follow the procedures on the
lighting instructions label attached to the boiler. For
reference, we have reproduced those instructions
in this manual.

DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call a qualified serv­ice technician to inspect the boiler and to
replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been underwater.

WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas
suppl

y fail to shut off, DO NOT turn off
or disconnect the electric supply to the
circulator pump. Instead, shut off the
gas supply at a location EXTERNAL to
the appliance.

INSPECTION

Your boiler and heating system will last an indefinitely
long time at full efficiency, if it is inspected regularly
and is kept in good repair and adjustment. You, the

ser, should make regular inspections, and report any

u

roblems to your service agency. At regular intervals,

p
you should have that agency inspect the system, clean
the boiler and make repair adjustments as necessary.
What you and the service agency should do is listed
below. Contact your gas supplier for a list of qualified
service and repair agencies.

USER INSPECTION

The user should make the following inspections at
least once each month during the heating season and
once just before cold weather starts:

1. Venting system inspection

Horizontal or vertical venting inspection

A.

All Victory

II boilers may be vented horizontally
through an outside wall (see Figure 2), through
the roof (see Figure 3) or vertically utilizing an
existing chimney as a chase (see Figure 4). In
all cases a 3" diameter AL29-4C* stainless steel
venting material MUST be used.

Inspect the system regularly for condensation,
corrosion and/or physical damage. A qualified
professional should service the boiler annually
and include such an inspection at that time. The
homeowner should look over the system month­ly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust,
other corrosion or separation of the flue (vent)
and fittings

.

Figure 2. Horizontal venting, side wall venting

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.

If the boiler is vented horizontally through the
wall, the outside termination and screen should
be checked for any debris blocking the opening
and cleaned as required.

B. Chimney or Type “B” venting inspection

Only models VHS-90, VHS-120, VHS-150 and
VHS-180 may be vented directly into a chimney
with 5, 6, or 7 inch diameter standard metal smoke
pipe (galvanized). See Figure 5. Make sure pipe
joints are snug and are fastened with screws. The
chimney joint should be filled with cement to pre­vent leakage. There should be no visible signs of
rust or salts from water evaporation.
