EUTECTIC EC-10 DV
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE
ABBREVIATED. SEE THE FRONT COVER OF THIS MANUAL
FOR REFERENCES TO CODES AND STANDARDS.
BOILER LOCATION
CAUTION: NEVER BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE UNIT,
AND NEVER LEAVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AROUND IT.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location should
be near the chimney so that the Flue Pipe Connector or
Breeching to the chimney is short and direct.
A. The foundation must be capable of supporting the weight of the
boiler when filled with water:

* Includes burner, circulator and controls
B. The EC-10 Boiler has full wet base sections which surround fire-
box for maximum heat absorption of burning fuel, and low floor
temperature.
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.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
Provide accessibility clearance of 610mm (24") from surfaces
requiring servicing (top and front) and 508mm (20") on any side
requiring passage. The boiler shall be installed with the
following MINIMUM clearances from combustible materials:
BACK-152mm (6")
SIDES-51mm (2")
NOTE: Except in closets and alcoves, clearances above in (A) and (B) may
be reduced by providing forms of protection as specified in NFPA 31, latest
edition.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
• The terminal shall not be closer than 914mm (3 feet) above
or 3048mm (10 feet) horizontally from any forced air inlet
into the building.
• The terminal shall not be closer than 1219mm (4 feet) below,
1219mm (4 feet) horizontally or 305mm (1 foot) above any
door, window or gravity air inlet into the building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 914mm (3 feet) from an
inside corner of an "L " shaped building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 2134mm (7 ft) above
grade when located adjacent to public walkways.
• The terminal shall not be less than 610mm (2 ft) from an
adjacent building.
• The terminal shall be located at a height not liable to
blockage from leaves, snow or other debris, at least 305mm
(1 ft) above grade or anticipated snow line.
• The terminal shall be positioned so that flue gases are not
directed where they can jeopardize people, overheat
combustible structures or enter buildings.
• Vent terminal should be away from shrubbery or other
obstructions that would prevent free air flow to and from
vent terminal. Do not terminate vent under decks, stairways

or car ports. When ever possible, locations under windows
should be avoided.
• Vent termination should not be mounted directly above or
within 914mm (3 feet) horizontally from an oil tank vent.
BOILER INTERNAL BAFFLES
IMPORTANT: EC-10 series boilers Direct Vent version is different
from standard series. Direct Vent version boilers usually have fewer
internal cast iron baffles.

VENT PIPING
A. The vent piping minimum bend radius is 305mm (12").
B. Place metal strapping every 914mm (36") to support vent
pipe and prevent it from sagging.
C. Maximum wall thickness is 356mm (14"). Contact Slant/Fin
for recommendations in case of thicker wall.
D. Gases will form white plume in winter. Plume could obstruct
window view.
E. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and
water/ice buildup on building, plants or roof.
F. Locate or guard vent to prevent accidental contact by
people or pets, and condensate from damaging exterior
finish.
G. Do not terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove,
courtyard, or other recessed areas.
All venting kits must be double wall construction for the flue
gas piping. Flex-L is the approved manufacturers for venting
kits. When installing the vent kits the manufacturers
instructions must be followed.
INSTALLING WATER TRIM
Notes: Jacket must be installed on boiler units prior to installation of
trim.
PIPING
IMPORTANT: Boilers are to be used with closed system. Any
application that uses water from system, causes the introduc -
tion of a frequent supply of fresh water into the boiler. This will
cause damage to the boiler. Use of heat exchangers will
prevent this damage.
PIPING FOR WATER UNITS
NOTE: On knock down boiler only, jacket may be installed
after return piping connection, but must be installed prior to
adding trim & supply piping.
I. CIRCULATING SYSTEM
A. FORCED CIRCULATION hot water heating system: Use
the top tapping as supply tapping, and use the rear
bottom tappings for the return.
B. A FLOW CONTROL VALVE will prevent gravity
circulation.
II. AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS
A. DIAPHRAGM-TYPE COMPRESSION TANKS are used to
control system pressure in an AIR ELIMINATING
SYSTEM: an automatic air vent is used to REMOVE air
from the system water. See figure 3.
