Boiler Location Considerations - ECR International PENNCO FSB 3 Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

3�2 Boiler Location Considerations
• Ambient room temperature always above 32°F (0°C) to
prevent the potential of freezing.
• Drainage of water (or water/ antifreeze solution) during
boiler service or from safety relief valve discharge.
• Access to system water piping, gas supply, and
electrical service.
• Boiler shall be installed on flat level surface which is
capable of supporting the weight of the boiler, water,
and equipment.
• Raise boiler above the floor on blocks if floor may get
wet.
• Water, gas, and electrical connect to right side of
boiler.

1. It is recommended the boiler be isolated and not operated during construction/
renovation. Excessive particles ingested by the boiler may accumulate in the flueway
passages possibly resulting in unsafe operation. In this case, unit servicing shall include
cleaning of flueway passages and burner ports.
2. If locating boiler in laundry room is unavoidable, it is manufacturer recommended
the room be generously ventilated (well in excess of combustible air requirements), and
homeowner seal laundry supply containers, and minimize room vapors.

. Piping allowing fresh air in should also be considered. See Section 5-1.

• Horizontal run to chimney shall be as short as possible.
• System piping exposed to freezing conditions: Use
inhibited propylene glycol solutions certified by fluid
manufacturer for use with closed water heating system.
Do not use automotive or ethylene glycol.
