INTRODUCTION
! WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance could result in death or serious injury.
•Installation must conform to requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Such applicable requirements take precedence over the general instructions of this manual.
•Install boiler in accordance with requirements of authority having jurisdiction, or in the absence of such requirements, CSA B139: Installation Code for Oil
Burning Equipment.
•Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ ASME No. CSD-1.
•LOCATE BOILERS in front of final position before removing crate. Provide level solid base as near the chimney as possible, and centrally located with respect to heat distribution system as practical.
•Allow 24 inches in the front and top for servicing and cleaning, or removing tankless water heating coil.
•When installed in utility room, door should be wide enough to allow largest boiler part to enter, or to permit replacement of another appliance such as water heater.
! WARNING
Fire hazard. Do not install boiler on combustible flooring or carpeting. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Boiler must not be installed on carpeting or vinyl flooring.

* Unconfined area: A space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x width x length).
**Confined area: A space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour of all appliances installed in that space (cubic feet of space = height x width x length).
1.Ventilation of boiler room must be adequate enough to provide sufficient air to properly support combustion.
2.When boiler is located in an unconfined space in a building of conventional construction frame, masonry or metal, infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation. However, in any building which has been altered to conserve energy or to minimize infiltration, the boiler area should be considered as a CONFINED SPACE. Provide combustion air and ventilation air in accordance with the section “Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” of NFPA 31:
Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment.
3.When a boiler is installed in an unconfined space, in a building of unusually tight construction, air for combustion and room ventilation must be obtained from outdoors or from spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. A permanent opening or openings having a total free area of not less than 1 square
inch per 5,000 Btu per hour of total input rating of all appliances shall be provided. Ducts may be used to convey make-up air from the outdoors and shall have the same cross-sectional area of the openings to which they are connected.
6
VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR
4.When air for combustion and room ventilation is from inside buildings, confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one starting 12 inches from the top and one 12 inches from the bottom of the enclosed space. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per one thousand (1,000)
Btu per hour of the total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed space, but must not be less than one hundred (100) square inches. These openings must freely communicate with the interior areas having adequate infiltration from the outside. See Figure #1.
5.When the boiler is installed in a confined space and all air is provided from the outdoors, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches from the top and one commencing 12 inches from the bottom of the enclosure. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors. One of the following methods must be used to provide adequate air for ventilation and combustion.
A.When directly communicating with the outdoors, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour of total
input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See
Figure #2.
Figure #1
B.When communicating with the outdoors by means of vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed space. See Figure #3.
C.If horizontal ducts are used, each opening shall have a minimum free area 1 square inch per 2,000
Btu per hour total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed space. See Figure #4.
D.When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross sectional area as the free area of the area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts shall not be less than 3 inches.
6.In calculating free area using louvers, grills or screens for the above, consideration shall be given to their blocking effect. Screens used shall not be smaller than ¼ inch mesh. If the free area through a design of louver or grill is known, it should be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known,
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 2025% free area and metal louvers and grills will have 60-75% free area. Louvers and grills shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the boiler so that they are opened automatically during boiler operation.
Refer to the Combustion Air Requirements chart on previous page for combustion air minimum opening requirements.

CONNECTING SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING
1.Connect supply and return piping as suggested in Figure #5, below. When boiler is used in connection with refrigerated systems:
A.Chilled medium MUST BE IN PARALLEL with boiler.
B.Use appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from entering heating boiler.
2.During heating cycle open valves A and B, close valves C and D.
3.During heating cooling cycle open valves C and D, close valves A and B.
A.Maintain minimum clearance of one inch to hot water pipes.
In air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation, boiler piping system MUST be supplied with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during cooling cycle.
Figure #5 Typical Piping Configuration
4.Hot water boilers installed above radiation level must be provided with low water device either as part of boiler or at time of boiler installation.
5.When boiler is connected to heating system utilizing multiple zoned circulators, each circulator must be supplied with flow control valve to prevent gravity circulation.
*Reduced pressure back flow preventer must be used under provisions required by the Environmental
Protection Agency, (EPA).
6.Bypass piping is an option which gives ability to adjust supply boiler water temperature to fit system or condition of installation. Although, this method of piping is not typically required for baseboard heating systems.
