A Provide combustion air/ventilation openings per Fig-
ure 23, page 20 or as otherwise directed in this manual or by
applicable codes.
If the installation does not provide the minimum clear-
ances, then the enclosure MUST HAVE air openings located per
Figure 23, page 20. Each of these air openings must have free area
of at least 1 square inch per 1,000 MBH of boiler input.
B Left side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
C Top of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12.0 inches minimum
D Right side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
E Bottom of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12 inches minimum
(must be 18 inches above floor for garage installations)
F Clearance in front of the boiler = 12.0 inches, but 36 inches
minimum required for service
H Vent pipe must be minimum 3/16 inch from combustibles. Open-
ing in combustible wall, floor, ceiling or roof must be 3/8" larger
than flue pipe diameter, fitted with galvanized steel thimble, or
larger if required by codes or as specified by vent pipe manufac-
turer.
ADDITIONAL service clearance may be
needed, depending on how piping is routed
to the boiler.
Provide clearances for service
access — RECOMMENDED
1. See the table in Figure 1 for recommended service clearances.
2. If you do not provide minimum service clearances shown, it
might not be possible to service the boiler without removing
it from the space.
3. Clearance D, Figure 1 allows for the installation of piping as
shown in Figure 5, page 9, plus a union, close nipple and
elbow.
A Provide combustion air/ventilation openings per Figure 23, page 20 or as
otherwise directed in this manual or by applicable codes. NOTE: If the
installation does not provide the minimum clearances in this illustration,
then the enclosure must have air openings located and sized per Fig-
ure 23, page 20.
B Left side service clearance = 36 inches minimum
C Service clearance above top of boiler = 24 inches minimum
D Right side service clearance = 24 inches minimum
E Service clearance below the boiler = 36 inches minimum
F Service clearance in front of the boiler = 36 inches minimum
