Prepare boiler location
Installations must comply with:
•
Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and
ordinances.
•
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition.
•
Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1, when required.
•
National Electrical Code.
•
For Canada only: B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code, CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local codes.
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 combustible
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 for U. S. installa-
tions, or CSA B149.1 and B149.2 for Canadian installations.
•
Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
•
Ensure that the installation complies with all applicable codes.
