SECTION 1 – OUTDOOR FURNACE INSTALLATION
To ensure the outdoor furnace functions as designed,
careful planning and proper installation are imperative.
This section outlines much of the information needed
to install the outdoor furnace, select water lines, install
circulation pumps and connect to your existing heating
system.
Be sure to read carefully and observe all of the
information, not only in this section, but in the entire
owner's manual.
If any installation questions arise that cannot be
answered by the information in this manual, be sure to
contact your dealer.

PLANNING THE LOCATION

When selecting a suitable location, carefully consider
each of the following:
❑ Must be installed in accordance to all applicable
codes and regulations.
❑ Check with your insurance company to see if they
have any location requirements.
❑ Consider prevailing winds and the direction smoke
will travel.
❑ The shorter the distance between the outdoor
furnace and building(s) being heated, the lower the
cost will be for the installation of the insulated hot
supply and return water lines.
❑ Be sure to maintain the required clearances to
combustibles and recommended maintenance
clearances.
❑ ThermoPEX pre-insulated piping is recommended
for all installations. Other types of piping should
not be buried in low-lying areas with standing
water or with a very high water table, or under an
area of heavy vehicle traffic unless protected from
excessive compression.
❑ If the ground at the location is unstable or subject
to frost heaving, consider installing 2" closed-cell
insulation beneath the front portion of the slab and
the area around the slab used for walking.
INSTALLATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS:
1. All installation components must be products
approved in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
by the Gas and Plumbing Board.
2. The maximum run of tubing from the water heater
to a fan coil is 50 linear feet.
3. Persons operating this hydronic heater are
responsible for operation of the hydronic heater so
as not to cause a condition of air pollution as
defined in 310 CMR 7.01(1).
Section 1 - Furnace Installation

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

A qualified installer must perform the installation of
this supplementary outdoor furnace and must determine
how to install it to be compatible with the existing
heating source.
CHIMNEY HEIGHT AND REINFORCEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
In higher populated areas, extend the chimney to a
height above the roofs of surrounding buildings. Use
Central Boiler Chimney Extensions when extending the
chimney. Each extension section must be secured at the
connection joint with four (4) screws or a band clamp to
stabilize the extension.
If extensions are added to the standard eight feet of
chimney (12 feet is standard for the CL 7260), the
chimney should be reinforced appropriately. When
adding sections of chimney, make sure that there is
nothing within the fall zone of the chimney that could
be damaged. If something is located within the fall zone
and cannot be removed, guy wires or braces may need
to be installed to prevent a falling chimney from causing
damage. See Fig. 2 and 3 for chimney reinforcement
recommendations.
NOTE: If more than three 4-foot sections of
chimney are used, a support (e.g., a pole, pipe
or other structural support) may be installed
from the ground that can withstand wind. Other
reinforcement recommendations are shown in
Fig. 3.

NOTE: For chimney extensions or chimney
replacement, use only genuine Central Boiler
chimney components. Parts are available from
an authorized Central Boiler dealer.
