Locating The Boiler - Crown Boiler BSI Series Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

Failure to observe the following location requirements could result in a fire, explosion or Carbon Monoxide (CO)
hazard.
1) Clearances:
• Observe minimum clearances shown below to avoid potential fire hazard. Except as noted, these clearances apply to all
combustible construction as well as noncombustible walls, ceilings and doors. Also see Figure 4.1.
Front - Alcove
Rear - 6"
• A 24" service clearance from the jacket is recommended on the left, right, and front of the boiler. These clearances may
be reduced to those shown in Figure 4.1, however servicing the boiler will become increasingly difficult as these service
clearances are reduced.
• If the right side 24" service clearance is reduced, adequate clearance must be maintained to easily read and access the
controls. Alternatively, access may be provided using a door.
2) The boiler must be installed on a hard level surface. This surface may be combustible.
3) Do not install this boiler in a location where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of hydrocarbons (i.e.
bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.
4) Do not install this boiler in an area where large amounts of airborne dust will be present, such as a workshop.
5) The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible.
6) Do not install this boiler over carpeting. This may cause a fire.
7) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad.
8) Protect ignition system components from sources of water that may spray, drip or rain on them during installation or service.
9) For basement installation provide concrete base if floor is not level or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
