ECO ® Tec series 2 gas-fired water boiler – boiler manual

Prepare boiler location

Flooring and foundation
(with Kit option only)
Flooring
With the optional floor standing pedestal kit, the boiler is
approved for installation on combustible flooring, but must never
be installed on carpeting.
Do not install boiler on carpeting even if foundation
is used. Fire can result, causing severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
Foundation
1. Provide a solid foundation pad, at least 2 inches above the
floor, if any of the following is true:
• floor can become flooded,
• The floor is dirt, sand, gravel or other loose material,
• The boiler mounting area is severely uneven or sloped.
2. The minimum foundation size is:
• ECO Tec: 20 inches wide x 20 inches deep.
3. Foundation may be of wood, brick or concrete (minimum
2 inches thick) construction.
If flooding is possible, elevate boiler sufficiently to prevent
water from reaching boiler.
Remove boiler from crate
The boiler is heavy. Use caution not to drop
the boiler or cause bodily injury while lifting
and handling. Verify that the boiler is securely
attached to prevent possibility of boiler falling after
installation.
After the boiler is removed from the shipping
carton, DO NOT allow the boiler to sit on its
bottom. This would cause pressure on protruding
plastic, resulting in interior damage. Either lay
the boiler on its back or leave on the styrofoam
protective shipping base.
Do not drop boiler or bump jacket on floor or pallet.
Damage to boiler can result.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been
stored in a very cold location (below 0°F) before
installation, handle with care until the plastic
components come to room temperature.
1. The ECO Tec boiler is generally easier to handle and
maneuver after removing the shipping container.
2. Remove Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 in Figure 3. Remove trim kit
and parts from Item 4.
3. Leave the boiler resting on the styrofoam protective
base (Item 7) and bottom cardboard cap (Item 8), until ready
to place on the wall. If removing the boiler from the shipping
base, rest the boiler on its back, NOT on its bottom.
Failure to comply with the procedure given could
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
