Locating The Boiler - Crown Boiler AWR Series Installation Instructions Manual

Failure to observe the following location requirements could result in a fire, explosion or Carbon Monoxide (CO)
hazard.
1) Clearances:
• Observe minimum clearances shown below to avoid potential fire hazard. Except as noted, these clearances apply to all
combustible construction as well as noncombustible walls, ceilings and doors. Also see Figures 4.1 and 4.2.
Front (38-210MBH) - 6"
Front (245-280MBH) - Alcove
Left Side - 1" (requires relocation of relief valve to right hand side of boiler - Figure 8.2)
Right Side - 4"
Rear (To all combustible construction) - 6"
Rear (38-210MBH To non-combustible wall) - 1"
Rear (245-280MBH To non-combustible wall) - 6"
Top - 24-1/2" Additional Height May Be Required To Maintain 6" Clearance From All Breeching Components
• A 24" service clearance from the jacket is recommended on the left, right, and front of the boiler. These clearances may
be reduced to those shown in Figures 4.1 & 4.2 , however servicing the boiler will become increasingly difficult as these
service clearances are reduced.
2) The boiler must be installed on a hard level surface. This surface may be combustible.
3) Do not install this boiler in a location where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of hydrocarbons (i.e.
bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.
4) Do not install this boiler in an area where large amounts of airborne dust will be present, such as a workshop.
5) The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible.
6) Do not install this boiler over carpeting. This may cause a fire.
7) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad.
8) Protect ignition system components from sources of water that may spray, drip or rain on them during installation or service.
9) Install on level floor. For basement installation provide concrete base if floor is not level or if water may be encountered on
floor around boiler.
