Before Installation - IBC EBX Series Installation And Operation Manual

5.0 Before installation

Before installing the appliance, it is important to review and observe the following checklist of
precautions:
Care must be taken to properly size the boiler for its intended use. Prolonged full output
run time, over-sizing or under-sizing, and incorrect flow rates through the boiler can lead to
increased maintenance costs, equipment stress and premature failure.
Exposure to corrosive chemical fumes such as chlorinated and/or fluorinated
hydrocarbons can reduce the life of a boiler. Cleaners, bleaches, air fresheners,
refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry-cleaning fluids, de-greasers and paint-removers all
contain vapors that can form corrosive acid compounds. Airborne chlorides such as those
released with the use of laundry detergents are also to be avoided.
Locate the boiler where water leakage will not result in damage to the area. If there is no
suitable location, install a suitable drain pan under the boiler. Do not install above
carpeting.
At a new construction site, or during renovations, protect the boiler from drywall dust or
other construction related contaminants. Do not seal boiler case openings directly when
operating - allow for air circulation and ventilation in the immediate area.
Ensure that the pressure relief valve is installed with no valves or other means of isolation
between its inlet and the boiler. Make sure the relief valve outlet is piped with unobstructed
piping (minimum ¾" diameter) to a safe discharge location.
