Precautions
If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
•
Mount the bottom of the boiler a minimum of 18" above the
floor of the garage to ensure the burner and ignition devices
are well off the floor.
•
Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
WARNING
The space must be provided with correctly sized combustion/
ventilation air openings for all other appliances located in the space
with the boiler. For power venting installations using room air for
combustion, refer to the boiler venting section, this manual, for
descriptions of confined and unconfined spaces. Do not install the
boiler in an attic. Failure to comply with these warnings could result
in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe
The boiler is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely
to form condensate in the vent) and requires a special vent system
designed for pressurized venting.
NOTE: The venting options described here (and further detailed
in the Venting section, this manual) are the lone venting options
approved for this boiler. Failure to vent the boiler in accordance
with the provided venting instructions will void the warranty.
DANGER
Failure to vent the boiler properly will result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not attempt to vent this boiler by any means other than those
described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Boiler exhaust and intake
connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support
brackets must be within 1' of the boiler and the balance at 4'
intervals. Boiler must be readily accessible for visual inspection for
first 3' from the boiler. Failure to properly support vents could result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The exhaust discharged by this boiler may be very hot. Avoid
touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases of the vent
termination assembly. Doing so could result in severe personal
injury or death.
1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn
from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake and exhaust must
terminate outdoors. There are three basic direct vent options detailed
in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced
Venting.
Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and intake
piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated.
Different vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple
penetrations in the building structure (see Optional Equipment in
Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing,
and termination methods must all comply with the methods and limits
given in the Venting Section, this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must
be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. To prevent
combustion air contamination, see Table 6.
Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
2. Power Venting, Indoor Combustion Air in Confined or
Unconfined Space
This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must
be installed in a mechanical room where there is adequate combustion
and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination,
see Table 6.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space has
adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or louver to supply
sufficient combustion air based on the boiler input. Never obstruct the
supply of combustion air to the boiler. If the boiler is installed in areas
where indoor air is contaminated (see Table 6) it is imperative that the
boiler be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly
from the outdoors into the boiler intake connection.
Unconfined space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-
burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to
this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part
of the space. See Venting Section for details.
Confined space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-
burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to
this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part
of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed
building to a confined space, such space should be provided with two
permanent openings: one located 6" (15 cm) below the space ceiling, the
other 6" (15cm) above the space floor. Each opening should have a free
area of one square inch per 1,000 BTU/hr (22cm
all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm
If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for
combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined in the
Venting section of this manual.
CAUTION
When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical
room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.
WARNING
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can
cause poisonous flue gases to enter the living space, resulting
in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air
contamination, see Table 6.
H. Carbon Monoxide Detectors
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and As Required by State
and Local Codes:
Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors: At the time of installation
or replacement of the vented gas fueled appliance, the installing
plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide
detector with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor
level where the gas appliance is installed, unless the appliance is
located in a detached, uninhabitable structure separate from the
dwelling, building, or structure used in whole or in part for residential
purposes.
In addition, the installing plumber or gas fitter shall observe that a hard
wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building, or structure
served by the vented gas appliance. It shall be the responsibility of the
property owner to secure the service of qualified licensed professionals
for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors.
a. In the event that the vented gas fueled appliance is installed in a
crawl space or attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with
alarm and battery back-up shall be installed on the next adjacent
floor level.
b. In the event that these requirements cannot be met at the time
of completion of installation, the owner shall have a period of thirty
(30) days to comply with the above requirements; provided, however,
that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon
monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.
