4.2.4 Setting the boiler in place
It is recommended that a house keeping pad 4 to 6 inches high be installed to ensure proper condensate drainage.
If anchoring the boiler is required due to local codes for seismic activities potential, ensure 4 holes ¾ diameter by 4
inches deep are drilled in the house keeping pad as per the dimension shown in figure# 4
The boiler frame has been drilled with 4 holes of 7/8 diameter, allowing for a ¾ X 9 inch long concrete wedge anchor
bolt to be placed thru the frame and into the concrete. Ensure to drill the 4 holes a minimum of 4 inches deep to allow
the concrete wedge anchor bolt to securely fasten into the concrete.
- See Figure# 4

packaging whenever possible.
- Remove fixing strips, packaging lid and all other
packaging, leaving the boiler on the pallet.

creating a ramp – secure with screws.
- Roll the boiler, on its wheels, off the pallet and
down the ramp to the boiler room floor.

and must not be used when the boiler is in its final
position! Additional protection may be required if site
conditions warrant it – overhead builders working,
insulation, etc. Do not install boiler on carpet or other
combustible materials. Never stand on the boiler.
The boiler casing is not designed for excessive force
or weight.
