ALL INSTALLATIONS OF BOILERS AND VENTING SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROPRIATE OLSEN TECHNOLOGY, INC. MANUAL. INSTALLING OR VENTING A BOILER OR ANY OTHER GAS APPLIANCE WITH IMPROPER METHODS OR MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO FIRE OR TO ASPHYXIATION FROM POISONOUS GASES SUCH AS CARBON MONOXIDE WHICH IS ODORLESS AND INVISIBLE.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. All installations must conform to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Such applicable requirements take precedence over the general instructions of this manual.
VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR WARNING: AIR OPENINGS TO COMBUSTION AREA MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED. BY FOLLOWING THE CHART BELOW , ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR CAN BE MAINTAINED. COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS (Minimum Opening Requirements) UNCONFINED AREA CONFINED AREA Outside Inside Outside Combustion Air Combustion Combustion VERT.

having a total free area of not less than 1 square inch per 5,000 BTU per hour of total input rating of all appliances shall be provided. Ducts may be used to convey make-up air from the outdoors and shall have the same cross-sectional area of the openings to which they are connected.
Page 7
air ducts shall not be less than 3 inches. 6. In calculating free area using louvers, grills or screens for the above, consideration shall be given to their blocking effect. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch mesh. If the free area through a design of louver or grill is known, it should be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified.
CONNECTING SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING 1. Connect supply and return piping as suggested in figure 5, below. When the boiler is used in connection with refrigerated systems: A. The chilled medium MUST BE IN PARALLEL with the boiler. B. Use appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the heating boiler.
Page 9
C. This method is used to protect boilers from condensate forming as well as protecting the heating system from high water temperature. See figure 8, below. 7. Note: When using bypass piping, adjust valves A and B until desired system temperature is obtained.

10. Typical installation using zone valves is shown in figure 10 below. 11. See figure 11 below for typical piping for domestic hot water heater. 12. For further piping information refer to the I=B=R installation and piping guide. FIGURE 10 FIGURE 11 PAGE 8...
VENTING SYSTEM INSPECTION & INSTALLATION WARNING: BOILER IS TO BE VENTED BY NATURAL DRAFT AND SHALL NOT BE CONNECTED INTO A MECHANICAL DRAFT SYSTEM OPERATING UNDER A POSITIVE PRESSURE. INSPECT CHIMNEY to make certain it is constructed according to the lastest revision of NFPA 21, when in the U.S., or the National Building Code or CSA-A405, when in Canada.
OIL TANK AND PIPING OIL TANK AND PIPING should be installed in accordance with the National Board of Fire Underwriters and local regulations. Oil storage tank, vent, fill pipe and caps should be as prescribed by local codes. In no case should the vent pipe be smaller than 1-1/4" I.P.S. The fill pipe should not be less than 2"...
ELECTRICAL WIRING Electrical wiring must conform with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 when installed in the United States, the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, when installed in Canada, and/or the local authority having jurisdiction. A separate electrical circuit should be run from the entry box with a fused disconnect switch in this circuit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The venting system should be inspected at the start of each heating season. Check the vent pipe from the boiler to the chimney for signs of deterioration by rust or sagging joints. Repair if necessary. Remove the vent pipe at the base of the chimney or flue and, using a mirror, check for obstruction.

percent. Check to insure minimum negative .02 W.C., (water column), “overfire” draft and zero (0) smoke. If - .02 W.C. “overfire” draft can not be maintained, changes and/or modifications may be required in the venting or the chimney. The following table is provided as a guideline for initial start-up. Final adjustments MUST be made using combustion instruments as previously mentioned.

See figure 17 on page 16. PERIODIC INSPECTION and tightening of the tankless heater/cover plate bolts will reduce the risk of leaks. Refer to OBC series exploded heat exchanger drawing on page 18, part numbers x and x. CAUTION: Do not overtighten bolts.
