D. RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1: • Mount the bottom of the boiler a minimum of 18” above the floor of the garage, to ensure the burner and ignition devices are well off the floor.
G. REMOVING A BOILER FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
Plumbing of this product should only be done by a qualified, licensed plumber in accordance with all local plumbing codes. The boiler is designed to be connected to an indirect water heater to supply domestic hot water. HTP offers indirect water heaters in a wide range of gallon sizes in either stainless steel or glass-lined construction.
All piping methods shown in this manual use primary/secondary connection to the boiler loop. This is to avoid the possibility of inadequate flow through the boiler. For other piping methods, consult your local HTP representative or refer to the detailed piping drawings in this manual.
On a boiler installed above radiation level, some states and local codes require a low water cut off device, which is an optional part available through HTP (Part # 7450P-225). Check with local codes for additional requirements. If the boiler supplies hot water to heating coils in air handler units, flow control valves or other devices must be installed to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water in the coils during the cooling cycle.

Condensate from the boiler is slightly acidic with a pH of 3.2 - 4.5. To avoid long term damage to the drainage system and to meet local code requirements, HTP recommends neutralizing the condensate with a Condensate Neutralizer Kit (Part # 7450P-212 for ELP- 110/199).
Page 32
Figure 12 – Condensate Piping NOTES: 1. Condensate line must be pitched at least 1/4" per foot to properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is used, you must increase the condensate line to a minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.
The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet. d. The size of venting on the ELP-110 can also be reduced in order to accommodate existing vent sizes. When reducing down to a 2” vent from a 3” vent, the total equivalent length shall not exceed 100 equivalent feet. Vent reduction must begin at the boiler.

The gas connection for the ELP-110 and ELP-199 is 3/4”. It is mandatory that this fitting is used for connection to a field fabricated drip leg as shown in the illustration above per the National Fuel Gas Code.
Use two wrenches when tightening gas piping at the boiler: One to prevent the boiler gas line from turning. Failure to prevent the boiler gas connection from turning could result in damage to gas line components, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet pressure and requires no field adjustment. Attempts by the installer to adjust or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could result in damage to the valve and cause substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
D. LINE VOLTAGE WIRING FOR STANDARD BOILER 1. Connect incoming power wiring to the line voltage terminal strip in the electrical junction box at terminals 120V, Neutral, Ground (shown in Figure 27). 2. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be required, externally mounted and connected according to local codes that may apply. 3.
There is no connection required if an indirect water heater is not used in the installation. 1. The boiler will operate an indirect fired water heater with either a thermostat type aquastat installed in the indirect tank or an HTP 7250P-325 tank sensor.
Figure 25 – Daisy Chain Wiring Configuration, with Optional Interface Module – LP-294-L 3. Route the communication cables through one of the knockouts in the cabinet. 4.

PART 8 – START-UP PREPARATION Thoroughly clean and flush any system that has used glycol before installing the boiler. Provide the customer with a material safety data sheet (MSDS) on the fluid used. A. CHECK / CONTROL WATER CHEMISTRY Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage to your boiler and associated equipment, and may also affect efficiency. You may have to have your water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether you need to install a water softener.
NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze. Do not use ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems. Use only generally recognized as safe freeze prevention fluids certified by fluid manufacturer as suitable for use with stainless steel boilers, verified in the fluid manufacturer literature.
If the condensate outlet on the boiler is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump, available from HTP (Part # 554200). This pump is equipped with two leads that can be connected to an alarm or another type of warning device to alert the user of condensate overflow, which, if not corrected, could cause property damage.
H. CASCADE SYSTEM 1. If a single boiler is installed, skip this section. 2. Programming the Master Boiler: a.
