Locating The Boiler - UTICA BOILERS UB95M-200 Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

6.1 Locating the Boiler

1.
Place crated boiler as close to selected location as
possible and un-crate boiler. Boiler may be moved into
position with appliance dolly or 2 wheel hand truck.
Insert dolly or hand truck under right hand side of
boiler. It is possible to slide boiler for short distance on
smooth floor or surface.
2.
Select level location central to piping systems served
and as close to vent and air intake terminals as
possible.
3.
Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e. larger
clearances) than required fire protection clearances,
must be used for boiler installation. Accessibility
clearances may be achieved with use of removable
walls or partitions.
!
WARNING
Fire hazard. Do not install on carpeting. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
4. Boiler is approved for installation in closets and on
combustible floors. Boiler shall NOT be installed on
carpeting.
5. Clearances shown in Table 3 indicate required
clearances per CSA listing. Minimum 1" (26mm)
clearance must be maintained between combustible
construction and each of the right, top and back
surfaces of the boiler. Allow at least 24" (610mm) at
front and left side and 8" (204mm) at top for servicing.
No combustible clearances are required to venting or
combustion air intake piping.
6.
Install equipment in location which facilitates operation
of venting and combustion air intake piping systems as
described in this manual.
7.
Advise owner to keep venting and combustion air
intake passages free of obstructions. Both venting
and combustion air intake piping systems connected
to outdoors must permit flow through piping systems
without restrictions for boiler to operate.
8.
Install boiler so automatic gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and service
(circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).
9.
Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of flammable
and combustible materials, vapors and liquids.
10. Locate boiler where ambient room temperatures
(minimum possible temperatures where boiler is
installed assuming boiler is not in operation and
therefore contributes no heat to space) are always
at or above 32°F (0°C) to prevent freezing of liquid
condensate.
