NEVER be installed on carpeting. Gas fueled equipment installed in enclosed parking garages must be located at least 18 inches above the floor. Stacking Hi Delta units can be stacked two units high with an optional stacking rack. A stacking kit is available from Raypak for this type of installation. CAUTION: The boiler should be located in an area where water leakage will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.
TOP VIEW When installed according to the listed minimum clearances from combustible construction mate- rials, the Raypak heaters can still be serviced without removing permanent structural construc- tion around the heater. However, for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24” in front, and at least 18”...
Raypak Hi Delta Boilers are design certified for outdoor installation. Boilers must not be installed under an overhang that is less than three (3) feet from the top of the boiler. Three (3) sides must be open in the area under the overhang.
Install combustion air direct vent in accordance with Section J-3 and Section J-4 of this manual. Provide adequate ventilation. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circulation of cold air through the boiler during the non-operating hours.

Ventilation of the space occupied by the boiler shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point communicating with outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the area required in (2) and (3), but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than10 square inches (6500 square mm).
HYDROSTATIC TEST Unlike many other types of boilers, Raypak boilers do not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been factory-tested and is rated for 150 PSI operating pressure. However, Raypak does recom- mend hydrostatically testing the piping connections to the boiler and the rest of the system prior to operation.
Valves designed to blend water temperatures or reduce water circulation through the boiler should not be used. Raypak heaters are high recovery low mass heaters not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a full line of electric sequencers that produce direct reset of boiler water temperature. Refer to the Controls Section in our Complete Catalog.

A. All piping materials and components connected to the water heater for the space heating application shall be suitable for use with potable water. B. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used for space heating.
SECTION G: POOL HEATING CAUTIO CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the heater.
AUTOMATIC CHLORINATORS AND CHEMICAL FEEDERS All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted into the pool or spa water before being circulated through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when the pump is not running (i.e.
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the boiler gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater jacket.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas valve pressure regulator(s) on the boiler are nominally preset at 3.5" W.C. for Natural gas, and 10.5" W.C. for Propane gas manifold pressure. The pressure at the gas valve outlet tap, measured with a manometer,while in operation should be 3.5 ±...
All sensitive control components should be protected by a suitable commercial-grade surge protection device. If any of the original wire as supplied with the boiler must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent.
Verify circuit breaker is properly sized by referring to boiler rating plate. A dedicated circuit breaker should be provided. Turn off all power to the boiler. Verify that power has been turned off by testing with a volt-ohm meter prior to working with any electrical connections or components.
For multi-stage controller connections, connect each stage of the control to the corresponding stage of TB-3 in the boiler. Stage 1 of the boiler to stage 1 of the control. Stage 2 of the boiler to stage 2 of the control, and so on.
GENERAL CAUTION: Proper installation of flue exhaust venting is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler. Definition of Appliance Categories Boilers are divided into four categories based on the pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent.
