Handling Instructions
Fiberglass and Ceramic Fiber Materials - Triton boilers use insulating materials to reduce casing losses and
clearances to combustibles. It is important for installers and service personnel to know what these materials
are, where they are located on the boiler, and how they should be handled. Refer to Table 9-1 for
recommended handling instructions and Figure 10-1 for location of insulating materials.

materials have been listed as a possible cause of cancer in California.
Ceramic Fiber (Potential Carcinogen) - Use of Ceramic Fibers in high temperature
applications (above 1000
(cristobalite), a respirable silica dust. Repeated airborne exposure to crystalline silica
dust may result in chronic lung infections, acute respiratory illness, or death. Crystalline
silica is listed as a (potential) occupational carcinogen by the following regulatory
organizations:
for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). Failure to comply with handling instructions in Table 9-1 may result in serious
injury, long term health problems, or death.
