Combustion Air Supply • The guidelines in this section apply to installations within the United Sates. All U.S. installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NOTICE NFPA 54 (current edition) and local codes. • Canadian requirements diff er from the guidelines in this section. In Canada, follow the requirements of B149.1 (Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, current edition) as well as local and provincial codes.
Exhaust Venting This is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly. The vent system must be sealed airtight. All seams and joints without gaskets must be sealed with high heat resistant silicone sealant or UL listed aluminum adhesive tape having a minimum temperature rating of 350° F. For best results, a vent system should be as short and straight as possible.

Measuring inlet gas pressure 1. Turn off all electric power to the micro boiler if service is to be performed. 2. Turn the manual gas valve located on the outside of the unit clockwise to the off position. 3. Failure to follow these steps could lead to a fi re or explosion, resulting in WARNING personal injury or death.
Pressure relief valve The micro boiler has a high-temperature shutoff switch built in as a standard safety feature (called a Hi-Limit switch) therefore a “pressure only” relief valve is required. • This unit does not come with an approved pressure relief valve. •...
