Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air; therefore, it is imperative that your boiler is not
installed in a pit or similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Local Codes may require
appliances fueled with LP gas be provided with an approved means of removing unburned gases from the
room. Check your local codes for this requirement.
