INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest edition or CSA B 149.1 latest edition for natural gas
and propane.
This installation must also conform to the additional
requirements in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.
NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so
that the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See
Appendix A for vent terminal location restrictions.) The
location should also be such that the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying,
rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator
replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).
WARNING
SPECIAL ATTENTION FOR LIQUEFIED
PETROLEUM(L.P .)
PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILER INSTALLATIONS
LPG appliances (boilers) shall be installed in
accordance with applicable provisions of NFPA 58
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) latest edition for
installations in US and CAN/CGA B149.1 latest
edition for installations in Canada
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than
air therefore Propane gas can accumulate at floor level.
If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to operate boiler.
A spark or flame from the appliance (boiler) or other
sources may ignite the accumulated propane gas
causing an explosion or fire. It is recommended that
inspections for gas leaks be performed periodically by
a licensed professional and that leak detection devices
be installed as a further safety measure.
BOILER FOUNDATION
A. Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at
least 51 mm (2") past the jacket on all sides. See
dimensions of boilers, page 2.
B. For installation on non-combustible floors only*.
C. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing
electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes or
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific
requirements.
* Installation on combustible flooring allowed only with proper
Combustible Floor Kit. Kit part number is printed on boiler rating
plate. In no case may the boiler be installed on carpeting.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE
CONSTRUCTIONS
A. Minimum clearances to the exterior surfaces of the boiler
shall be as follows:
MINIMUM ALCOVE AND CLOSET CLEARANCE
For Combustible
Surface Construction
Front 152 mm (6")
Rear 152 mm (6")
Left Side 152 mm (6")
Right Side 305 mm (12")
Top 305 mm (12")
Flue Connector:
Enclosed — 152 mm (6")
Unenclosed — 51 mm (2")
B. Provide accessibility clearance of 610 mm (24") on sides
requiring servicing and 457 mm (18") on sides used for
passage.
C. All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This
may result in increased values of some minimum
clearances in order to maintain the minimum clearances
of others.
D. Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 25 mm (1")**.
** At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling, the
clearance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wall or
ceiling boards may be not less than 12 mm (1/2"). Each such opening
shall be covered with a plate of uncombustible material.
