CS300 BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES
Before undertaking the installation of the CS300 boiler
check the boiler rating plate to ensure that the boiler has
been sized properly for the job. The rating label has been
packed with the controls. The "Net I=B=R Ratings" specify
the equivalent amount of direct cast iron radiation that
the boiler can supply under normal conditions. Also
ensure that the boiler has been set up for the type of gas
available at the installation site. Other important
considerations are the availability of an adequate
electrical supply, fresh air for combustion and a suitable
chimney or vent system.
BOILER LOCATION
1. Locate the boiler in an area that provides good
access to the unit. Servicing may require the removal of
jacket panels. Allow a minimum clearance of 2 ft, 0.61 m
between adjacent construction and the boiler sides and
draft hood. A minimum clearance of 4 ft, 1.22 m must be
maintained between the front of the boiler and adjacent
construction. Accessibility clearances should take
precedence over fire protection clearances, or use which
ever is greater.
2. An optimum site will be level, central to the piping
system, close to a chimney and have adequate fresh air
for combustion.
3. Ensure that the floor is structurally sound and will
support the weight of the boiler. Never install a CS300
on a concrete floor that contains wires, cables, water
pipes or hoses. This boiler is designed for non combustible
floors only! Never install this boiler on combustible
materials or carpeting even if a non-combustible
foundation material is placed over them!

Concrete Block Base Construction
WARNING: Never install a CS300 boiler on top of
combustible flooring! Failure to comply with this
warning may result in a fire causing extensive
property damage, severe personal injury or
death!
4. DO NOT install this boiler in a location that would
subject any of the gas ignition components to direct
contact with water or excessive moisture during operation
or servicing. A full concrete foundation is recommended
to protect the boiler from moisture and debris, Figure 1.
NOTE: The boiler must be assembled on a level, non-
combustible surface. If the floor is not level a pad
must be poured to provide a level surface. If a
concrete block base is used level it using non-
combustible shims or grout.
5. DO NOT place this boiler in a location that would
restrict the introduction of combustion air into the boiler.
WARNING: Never store combustible materials,
gasoline or any product containing flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the boiler.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in
an explosion or fire causing extensive property
damage, severe personal injury or death!
