Pre-Installation - Crown Boiler BSI Series Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

Carefully read all instructions before installing boiler. Failure to follow all instructions in proper order can cause
personal injury or death.
1) Inspect shipment carefully for signs of damage. Any claim for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately
against carrier by consignee. No claims for variances or shortages will be allowed by Boiler Manufacturer, unless presented
within sixty (60) days after receipt of equipment.
2) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in strict accordance with
this manual and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
•
In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual and the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. In Canada, follow CAN/CSA B149.1 (Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code).
•
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, this installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and
Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ANSI/ASME CSD-1)-latest edition.
3) Make sure that a properly sized chimney is available which is in good condition. Consult the authority having jurisdiction,
Part VI of this manual, and the National Fuel Gas Code for additional information on venting requirements.
4) Make sure the boiler is properly sized. A steam boiler must be sized to match the amount of connected radiation. If the
boiler is undersized for the connected radiations, radiators furthest from the boiler will remain cold, resulting in uneven
heat. This will happen even if the output of the boiler matches the design heat loss of the structure. Conversely, a boiler
that is too large for the connected radiation will short cycle on pressure, resulting in inefficient operation. Determine
the boiler size required for the connected radiation using a reference such as the I=B=R Residential Hydronic Heating
Guide (Pub. RHH) published by Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
5) Make sure that the boiler received is configured for the correct gas (natural or LP).
6) This boiler is not configured for installation at altitudes above 2000ft.
• Do not attempt to operate a natural gas boiler on LP, or an LP boiler on natural gas without first converting
it using a kit provided by the factory.
• Failure to properly convert this boiler for the fuel being used will result in operation of the boiler at
high Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels and/or other unsafe conditions, resulting in personal injury or loss of
life. Improper conversion may also result in unreliable operation and severe property damage.
