www.saintroch.us HOMEOWNER INFORMATION FOR GAS TO START UP THE APPLIANCE STOP! Read the safety information on the side of the boiler. DO NOT START THE BOILER UNLESS ALL CLEANOUT DOORS ARE SECURED AND SEALED. (Skip to step 9 for oil burning boilers) 2.
1. General Information The St. Roch Optimajor series boilers are wet base design, sectional, cast-iron boilers for forced hot water heating systems. The Optimajor boilers are designed for firing with oil and deliver high efficiencies through unique design and construction. The Optimajor series boilers are shipped from the factory in assembled blocks and each boiler can range from 6 to 14 sections.
www.saintroch.us 2. Boiler Block Assembly All OPTIMAJOR series boilers are shipped from the factory in assembled boiler blocks. If, however, the block needs to be split into sections for ease of delivery, please read the following: To assemble split blocks, move sections into parallel and facing each other. Sections may be slid along boards placed underneath the sections.
3. Boiler Location The following are the minimum clearances to construction or combustible materials: 9” TOP 1. 9” from the top, sides, and rear of the boiler. 2. 18” from the flue pipe in any direction. 24” 3. 24” from the front of the boiler. FRONT 9”...

4. Installation of Boiler Trim Components (Continued..) All piping must conform to state and local codes. The supply and return for Optimajor boilers 2” NPT. Be sure to provide unions and isolation valves at the manifold inlet and outlet of the boiler, so the boiler may be readily isolated for service.
www.saintroch.us 5. Piping The Boiler All piping must conform to state and local codes. Page 11 shows the location and size of the boiler tappings. It is recommended to install unions and gate valves at the inlet and outlet of the boiler, so it may be readily isolated for service. For Canadian installations, a low water cut off is required if the boiler is installed above the level of radiation.
6. Intake Venting 1. Be certain adequate air is available for combustion and ventilation. a.) Boiler located in unconfined space: Installation in large areas, such as basements, can usually be assumed to provide sufficient air. b.) Boiler located in confined space : (See Figure A. on page 14) If all air for combustion and ventilation is to come from within the building: Two (2) openings shall be provided with one (1) opening commencing within 12 inches of the ceiling and one (1) opening commencing within 12 inches of the floor of...

www.saintroch.us 6. Intake Venting (Continued...) c.) Boiler located in a room under negative pressure: If the boiler is to be installed within a home where the operation of exhaust fans, attic fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create severe negative vent pressures causing unsatisfactory combustion and venting, special provisions should be made for additional make-up air to supply the other air requirements.
7. Exhaust Venting The Optimajor boiler is a high efficiency unit that requires proper venting. The boiler must be vented to the outdoors by means of a tile lined masonry or an approved pre-fabricated chimney of the size and height recommended by the manufacturer or by a listed “power venting”...
www.saintroch.us 7.2 Common Exhaust Venting Common Vent Exhaust: If this boiler is replacing one which was part of a common venting system, it is likely that the vent is to large to vent the appliances still attached to it. To prevent this, at the time of removal, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system.
8. Burner Setup Good, reliable operation with a minimum of service, starts with attention to the small details: Please review burner manufacturer manuals for proper install guidelines! Oil: 1. Setting the nozzle position and electrodes to the manufactures specs using the manufacturer's gauges.
www.saintroch.us 8.2 Gas Burner Setup This page is only for boilers using a gas burner. If an oil burner is being used, please refer to page 16 for the proper setup of the burner. BURNER MANUFACTURER: RIELLO Boiler Model: OPTI GLP 6 OPTI GLP 8 OPTI GLP OPTI GLP...
9. Gas Line Piping Gas supply piping is to be sized and installed properly in order to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum demand without undue loss of pressure between the meter and the boiler. Consult with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 for proper sizing of gas piping for various lengths and diameters.
www.saintroch.us 10. Boiler Jacket Assembly NOTE: All piping, boiler controls, gauges and valves must be installed before the jacket has been assembled on the boiler. Refer to the following page to clarify these boiler jacket assembly instructions. Boiler Jacket Assembly: Top Casing Rail (R) Lower Bracket Rear Upper Plate (Rear)

10. Boiler Casing Continued STEP 1 Install top and bottom brackets on fron and back tie-rods as shown below. ** MAKE SURE SHELF OF BRACKETS FACE IN TOWARDS EACH OTHER ON ALL 4 BRACKETS STEP 2 Wrap boiler block with insulation material and strap it as shown. STEP 3 Install side rails to each top and bottom brackett from front to back.

STEP 5 Interlock the common top cover and proceed along with side panels and covers. STEP 6 Secure two rear panels onto back of boiler casing by starting with LOWER piece first and interlocking the top piece into it.
11. Baffle Installation To achieve maximum efficiency, baffles have been installed in the second pass of the boiler. One baffle is installed into each of the 2nd passes as shown in Fig. 10.1. For the baffle to fit correctly, the shortest leg of the baffle must be facing down.
