Pre-Installation - Burnham ALP105 Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

ii. Pre-installation
WaRning
if you do not follow these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage or personal injury.
DangER
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, cleaners, chemicals,
sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are
used or stored.
nOTiCE
Due to the low water content of the boiler, mis-
sizing of the boiler with regard to the heating
system load will result in excessive boiler cycling
and accelerated component failure.
DOES nOT warrant failures caused by mis-sized
boiler applications. DO nOT oversize the boiler to
the system. Modular boiler installations greatly
reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.
A.
Installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such
requirements, installation must conform to the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and/or CAN/
CSA B149.1 Installation Codes.
Appliance is design certified for installation on
B.
combustible flooring. Do not install boiler on
carpeting.
C.
Provide clearance between boiler jacket and
combustible material in accordance with local fire
ordinance. Refer to Figure 2 for minimum listed
clearances from combustible material. Recommended
service clearance is 24 inches from left side, front, top
and rear of the boiler. Recommended front clearance
may be reduced to the combustible material clearance
providing:
1. Access to boiler front is provided through a door or
removable front access panel.

2. Access is provided to the condensate trap located
Install on level floor. For basement installation provide
D.
a solid base such as concrete, if floor is not level or if
water may be encountered on floor around boiler. Floor
must be able to support weight of boiler, water and all
additional system components.
Protect gas ignition system components from water
E.
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation
and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,
control replacement, etc.).
F.
Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with applicable provisions of local building codes,
or: USA - National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation;
Canada - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA-B149.1, Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances.
Burnham
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided to assure proper combustion.
G.
The boiler should be located so as to minimize the
length of the vent system. The PVC combustion
air piping, or the optional concentric vent piping,
containing integral combustion air inlet piping, must
terminate where outdoor air is available for combustion
and away from areas that may contaminate combustion
air. In particular, avoid areas near chemical products
containing chlorines, chloro/fluorocarbons, paint
removers, cleaning solvents and detergents. Avoid
areas containing saw dust, loose insulation fibers, dry
wall dust etc.
avoid operating this boiler in an environment
where saw dust, loose insulation fibers, dry wall
dust, etc. are present. if boiler is operated under
these conditions, the burner interior and ports
must be cleaned and inspected daily to insure
proper operation.
