Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances.
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition.
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition.
Electrical installation and grounding must be in accordance
with CSA C22.1, Part 1, Canadian Electrical Code, and/or
local codes.
For Canada only: CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, and any local codes.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the instal-
lation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
The SlimFit boiler gas manifold and controls met safe
lighting and other performance criteria when boiler
underwent tests specified in ANSI Z21.13 — latest
edition.
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to:
System water piping
Venting connections
Gas supply piping
Electrical power
Location of drain for condensate
2. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids.
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids
and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
3. The SlimFit boiler must be installed so that gas control system
components are protected from dripping or spraying water or
rain during operation or service.
4. If new boiler will replace existing boiler, check for and correct
system problems, such as:
System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger
cracks from hard water deposits.
Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system
and boiler to freeze and leak.
Flooring and foundation
Flooring
5. The SlimFit boiler is approved for installation on combustible
flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting.
Do not install boiler on carpeting even if foundation is
used. Fire can result, causing severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Foundation
1. The boiler mounting surface must be level and suitable for
the load.
2. Provide a solid foundation pad, at least 2 inches above the
floor, if any of the following is true:
floor can become flooded.
the floor is dirt, sand, gravel or other loose material.
the boiler mounting area is severely uneven or sloped.
3. The minimum foundation size is listed in Figure 1.
4. Foundation may be of wood, brick or concrete (minimum 2
inches thick) construction.
5. If flooding is possible, elevate boiler sufficiently to prevent water
from reaching boiler.

Garage installation
Precautions
1. Take the following special precautions when installing the
boiler in a garage. If the boiler is located in a garage:
Mount the boiler at a height above the floor as specified
in the National Fuel Gas Code - ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54
latest edition for U. S. installations, or Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code - CAN/CSA B149.1 for Cana-
dian installations.
Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by
a moving vehicle.
Ensure that the installation complies with all applicable
codes.
Relocate Control Display, if desired:
Do not move the control display panel with the control
display communication cable connected. This could
damage or completely disable the boiler.
1. Remove lower portion of door panel beneath the control
display by pulling outward 3 inches on panel door handles.
The panel should rotate on bottom tabs. Then pull upward
on panel door handles to remove the panel from the boiler.
2. Reach behind the upper portion of the control display panel
and disconnect the RJ45 cable by pressing down on the
phone jack style tab, then pull the cable out of the display
control board.
3. Use Phillips screwdriver to remove the two (2) screws from the
bottom two corners of the upper portion of the control display
panel, paying special attention that the control display com-
munication cable is not being pulled with the panel.
4. Remove either of the other two burner end panels that is the
intended new location for the control display by lifting upwards
on the panel door handles.
5. Insert the upper portion of the control display panel downward
on the top frame in the new intended location of the control
display. Use a Phillips screwdriver to re-connect the panel
to the side and/or corner posts.
6. Move the plastic clip that supports the control display com-
munications cable to a 0.25" hole closest to the new intended
location of the control display.
7. Re-insert the phone-jack-style connector back into the control
display board.
8. Replace the lower portion of the door panel beneath the
control display by inserting the three (3) tabs into the lower
frame and then rotating it towards the boiler until the latches
snap into place.
9. Replace the non-control display door panel by aligning the
three tabs with the lower frame and sliding the door panel
downward onto both the top and lower boiler frames.
