Precautions Before Installation; Shipping From Factory; Choosing The Best Location; Methods Of Installation - Saturn KDB - 161 GOM Manual

1. Precautions before installation

1.1 Shipping from factory

The units are released from our facility specially packaged to prevent handling damage and contamination in transit.
Dropping or throwing the boilers or moving them while outside of their shipping container may cause damage or
internal contamination by any moisture remaining after testing. Do not stand the boilers up by resting on the
connections piping.

1.2 Choosing the best location

Never locate the unit outdoors,
Such as an open porch or patio or exposed to the wind, rain snow and cold temperature.
Special consideration must be given to where the venting will terminate outdoors.
Do not locate the unit in an equipment room that has an exhaust fan.
Install the unit securely on any non-combustible wall that is capable of supporting the 40 kg weight of this
equipment.
Maintain an 150mm clearance to the left and right of unit including 150mm clearance in front of the unit for safety
inspections and future access.
Do not install unit in an underground or semi-underground location unless using the model FF or designated
concentric flue kit for KDB-GOM models.
When installing the unit, consideration must be given to the proper location. The location selected should be as
close to the vent pipe termination outside the building, and as centralized with the water piping system as
possible.
A minimum clearance of 100mm must be allowed for access to replaceable parts such as the thermostats, drain
valve and relief valve.
As the gas boiler is to be installed indoors, they shall not be installed outdoors, such as in the porch.
Do not install boiler on combustible wall in a high humidity location.
There is a risk in using fuel burning appliances in rooms or areas where gasoline, other flammable liquids or engine
driven equipment or vehicles are stored, operate or repaired. Flammable vapors are heavy and travel along the floor
and may be ignited by the igniter or main burner flames causing fire or explosion. Some local codes permit operation of
gas appliances if installed 18-inches or more above the floor. This may reduce the risk if location in such an area cannot
be avoided.
Flammable items, pressurized containers or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or
adjacent to the boiler.
Open containers of flammable material should not be stored or used in the same room with the boiler.

1.3 Methods of installation

The units must be firmly secured on the wall, which can sufficiently hold the unit weight.
Exhaust vent pipe has a maximum length of 5.0M with up to 3-90 elbow. Vent pipe must be angle 2-3 toward
the boiler to return condensate.
The units should be grounded to prevent electric shock.
1.4 Check the kind of gas
Check if the gas indicated on the rating plate is being used. If not, change the nozzle
by consulting the service center or dealers.
