At time of removal of existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while other... -
Page 3: Chimney Requirements
Provisions for combustion air must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, as well as all applicable local codes. If the boiler is installed in an unconfined space, adequate air will be available via normal infiltration. -

Supply outlet must run full size from the boiler to a header at least 24" above top of boiler. Condensate return piping should be connected to boiler through a "Hartford Loop."... -
Page 6: Step 4: Venting Boiler
Install flue pipe over top of vent damper and secure to damper housing with sheet metal screws or pop rivets. Attach vent damper cable to cable clamp on boiler left panel and join the Molex connector (see Figures 2.4 & 2.4A). FIGURE 2.4: VENT DAMPER INSTALLATION... -
Page 7: Step 5: Installing/Testing Gas Piping
Install a full-sized sediment trap at the low point in gas line upstream of gas valve. Install a non-restrictive lubricated plug valve in the gas line close to the boiler. Install a ground joint union at the gas valve inlet to allow for servicing. Check local codes and utilities for any special requirements and proce- dures. - Page 8 4331 Example: Boiler Model GB200-4H is to be installed. The distance from the existing gas meter to the installation site is 30 ft. What pipe size must be used? The local utility indicates the heating value of natural gas being supplied is 1000 Btu per cu.ft.

Page 9: Step 6: Wiring Boiler
For vent damper-equipped models, connect thermostat to blue leads (see Figures 2.4 & 2.4A). NOTE: If any of original wire supplied with boiler must be replaced, use similar wire of 105° C rating. Other- wise, insulation may melt or degrade, exposing bare wire. - Page 10 FIGURE 2.10: Wiring Diagram & Operation Sequence for Boilers Equipped with Intermittent Pilot, Vent Damper and 400 Series or M & M PS804 LWCO FIGURE 2.11: Wiring Diagram & Operation Sequence for Boilers Equipped with Standing Pilot, Vent Damper and 400 Series or M &...

This is a manu- al reset-type device and can be reactivated by depressing the spill switch reset button mounted on the left of the boiler’s draft diverter (see Figure 2.1 for switch location). The rollout switch prevents flame rollout from the boiler com-... - Page 12 9. Start and stop burners several times by raising and low- ering the thermostat setting. 10. After boiler has been firing long enough to raise boiler pressure above minimum setting of the primary pressure- tol limit, check limit by turning its setting from maximum to minimum setting.
- Page 13 If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result with property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. A. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

Page 20: Warnings
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is very toxic. If your Smith boiler is not working properly, or is not vented properly, dangerous levels of CO may accumulate. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the building. Brief exposure to high concentrations of CO, or prolonged exposure to lesser amounts of CO, may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
