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.
This installation must also conform to the additional require-
ments 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 Appen-
dix 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, con-
densate 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 accumulate at floor level. If you sus-
pect 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 per-
formed periodically by 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 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 Com-
bustible 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

Right Side
Top
Flue Connector:
Enclosed —
Unenclosed —
B. Provide accessibility clearance of 24" on sides requiring
servicing and 18" on sides used for passage.
C. All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This
may result in increased values of some minimum clear-
ances in order to maintain the minimum clearances of
others.
D. Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 1 inch**.
** 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 1/2 inch. Each such opening
shall be covered with a plate of uncombustible material.
KEEP THE BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
