IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY 1. THIS BOILER HAS LIMITED WARRANTIES, COPIES OF WHICH ARE PRINTED ON THE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL. 2. THIS BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING. BOILER CANNOT BE IN- STALLED ON CARPETING. 3. ALL BOILERS MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING, HEATING AND ELECTRICAL CODES AND THE REGULATIONS OF THE SERVING UTILITIES WHICH MAY DIF- FER FROM THIS MANUAL. AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE INSTAL- LATIONS ARE MADE. IN ALL CASES, REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: A. Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, “Installation of Oil Burning Equipment”, for clearances between boiler, vent connector and combustible material. B. Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 211, “Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances”, For Chimney require- ments, type of venting material and clearances between vent connector pipe and combustible materials. C. Current Edition of American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME CSD-1, “Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers”, for assembly and operations of controls and safety devices. 4. ALL HEATING SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DESIGNED BY COMPETENT CONTRACTORS AND ONLY PERSONS KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE LAYOUT AND INSTALLATION OF HYDRONIC HEATING SYSTEMS SHOULD AT- TEMPT INSTALLATION OF ANY BOILER. 5. THE BOILER MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN APPROVED CHIMNEY IN GOOD CONDITION. SERIOUS PROP- ERTY DAMAGE COULD RESULT IF THE BOILER IS CONNECTED TO A DIRTY OR INADEQUATE CHIMNEY. THE INTERIOR OF THE CHIMNEY FLUE MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE THE START OF THE HEATING SEASON AND SHOULD BE INSPECTED PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE HEATING SEASON FOR ANY OBSTRUCTIONS. A CLEAN AND UNOBSTRUCTED CHIMNEY FLUE IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW NOXIOUS FUMES THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE TO VENT SAFELY AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TOWARD MAINTAINING THE BOILER’S EFFICIENCY.

WARNING Install automatic mixing valve at tankless heater outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to excessively hot water at fixtures. Adjust and maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains some sediment which settles on the inside of the coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically backwashed. This is accomplished by installing hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater, and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The...

room air being drawn up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The combination of a large uninsulated chimney, reduced firing rate, reduced firing time, lower stack temperature and less dilution air can, in some cases, contribute to the condensing of small amounts of water vapor in the chimney. Such condensation, when it occurs, can cause chimney deterioration. In extreme cases, condensed water may be visible on the outside of the breeching or chimney. In those extreme cases, the chimney may have to be lined to insulate the chimney and thus prevent the condensation. The addition of dilution air into the chimney may assist in drying the chimney interior surfaces. A massive chimney on a cold, or exposed outside wall may have produced adequate draft when it was fired with a higher input and greater volumes of heated gases. With reduced input and volume, Figure 5: recommended Smokepipe Arrangement the draft may be severely affected.
