  • Page 4: General Guidelines

    General Guidelines General guidelines Installation, maintenance and service of this boiler must only be carried out by a qualified contractor. The assembly sequence is essential to reliable operation of the boiler and associated heating system. The boiler can be assembled, hydrostatically tested and operated without boiler insulation and jacket panels. These items can be installed at a later date without disrupting boiler operation.

    Any approved (based on application testing at burner manufacturer’s facilities) oil or power gas burner can fire into G315 boilers. Burners with low fire start or two stage firing are recommended. The high fire setting on the burner should match the rated output of the boiler to prevent condensation in the heat exchanger.
