Determine boiler location

Installation must comply with:
• Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,
regulations, and ordinances.
• National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1 –
latest edition.
• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1 -
latest edition, when required.
• National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 - latest edition.
• For Canada only: CSA B149.1 Installation Code,
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any
local codes.
The Crest gas manifold and

controls met safe lighting and other
performance criteria when the boiler
underwent tests specified in ANSI
Z21.13/CSA 4.9 – latest edition.
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections
should leak, water damage will not occur. When
such locations cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the appliance. The
pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no
circumstances is the manufacturer to be held
responsible for water damage in connection with
this appliance, or any of its components.
3. Check area around the boiler.
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids.
Failure to keep boiler area clear
WARNING
and free of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable
liquids and vapors can result in
severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
4. The Crest must be installed so that gas control
system components are protected from dripping or
spraying water or rain during operation or service.
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check
for and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat
exchanger cracks from hard water deposits.
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
• Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing
system and boiler to freeze and leak.
6. The appliance must be installed on a level floor,
both front to back and side to side, for proper
condensate drainage.
7. If the optional neutralizing kit is to be used, elevate
the boiler at least 3" above the floor.
