Determining The Location Of The Boiler; Mounting The Boiler - IBC EBX Series Installation And Operation Manual

After determining that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust
fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition.
Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected, so the
installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. In
Canada, all installations must conform with the current CAN/CGA - B149.1-10
Installation Code and/or local codes.

6.3 Determining the location of the boiler

The boilers are designed and approved for indoor installation (wall or rack mounting) in areas
such as an alcove, basement, or utility room. These areas should have a surrounding
temperature of 32°F (0°C) to 122°F (50°C) and less than 90% relative humidity.
Warnings
Keep the area around a boiler clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Ensure that a boiler is not exposed to water leaks from piping or components
located overhead, including condensation from uninsulated cold water lines
overhead.
Ensure that combustible materials do not make contact with exposed water
piping and associated components (relief valves, circulators, etc.). Check local
codes for required clearances and/or provide adequate insulation.

6.4 Mounting the boiler

Warning
Do not mount the appliance to hollow wall structures - The combined weight of
the boiler, its water content and associated piping components can exceed 30
pounds (14 kg). Fasteners must be rated for this strain, and must be firmly anchored
into solid material that will support this weight. Installers must take necessary
precautions to avoid injury during the installation of this boiler.
