Checkto besureyouhavetherightsizeboilerbeforestartingtheinstallation.
See rating and capacitytable on previouspage. Also be sure the new
boiler is for the type of gas you are using. Checkthe ratingplate on
the rightsideof theboiler.
You must see that the boiler is suppliedwith the correct type of gas,
fresh air for combustion, a nd a suitableelectricalsupply Also,the boiler
mustbe connected to a suitablechimneyand an adequate piping system.
Finallya thermostat, p roperlylocated,is neededfor controlof the heating
system. If you haveany doubts as to the various requirements, c heck
with local authoritiesand obtain professional h etp whereneeded.Take
the time to completeall of the steps for SAFEand PROPER operation
of the heating system.
Theseboilersare designedfor use in closed heatingsystems whereall
of the steam is returnedto the boiler as condensateand the amount
of make-upwater required is minimal.These boilers are not designed
for or intendedfor use in open systems or processapplicationsusing
I
100% make-upwater.Damage to the boiler resulting from such use shall
not be coveredunderthewarranty
Whererequiredby the authorityhavingjurisdiction,the installationmust
conformto AmericanSocietyof Mechanical E ngineers SafetyCode for
Controls andSafetyDevices for Automatically FiredBoilers, N o.CSD-1.
The installation mus_ conformto the requirements of the authorityhaving
jurisdictionor, in the absence of such requirements, to the National F uel
GasCode,ANSIZ223.1-1atest revision.
Thefollowing stepsareall necessary f orproperinstallation a ndsafeoperation
ol yourboiler.
1. LOCATING T HEBOILER 5. GASSUPPLY PIPING
2. FRESH AIRFORCOMBUSTION 6. ELECTRICAL WIRING
3. INSTALLATION - SYSTEM PIPING 7. CHECKING & ADJUSTING
4. CHIMNEY & VENT PIPECONNECTION
KEEP BOILER AREA CLEAN AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
1. Select level location as centralizedwith piping system,and as near
chimney, a spossible.
2. Placecratedboiler at selectedlocation,removecrateby pullingcrate
sides from top and bottom boards.Combustible floors:Whenboiler
is to be installedon a combustible floor, a SpecialBasePlatemust
be used- 146-14-031 (3-6 Section} or 146-14-032(7-9 Section}.
Thisboilermustnotbe installed on carpeting.
3. If this boiler is equippedwith cast iron burners,it is also equipped
with stainlesssteel wire ties to hold the back end of the cast iron
burnersin placeduring shipping.In order to removethe burnersfor
cleaningor inspection,the wire ties must be cut and removed.The
wire ties are accessedthroughthe combustionair openingon the
back side of the boiler at the bottom of the rear jacket panel,and
may be cut with any wire cutting pliers. I1the boiler is installedat
its minimum clearances it maybe difficultto reachthe wireties after
the boiler is installed, a nd lhe wire ties shouldbe cut now.The wire
ties are onlyneeded duringshipping, a nddo not needto be replaced.
Boilersequipped with stainlesssteel burnersdo not havewire
ties andthis information does notapply.
4. Boiler is to be level. Metal shimsmay be used under baselegs for
finalleveling.
5. Accessibility clearances must take precedence over fire
protectionclearances.18"clearance shouldbe maintained a t a side
wherepassageis requiredto accessto anotherside for cleaningor
servicing, inspection, o r replacement of any parts that normallymay
requiresuchattention.18" clearanceis recommended o n the control
sidefor servicing.
Figure2 showsminimum clearances t o combustible construction. Rooms
that are large in comparisonwith the size of the boiler are defined
as rooms havinga volume equal to or greater than 16 times the
volumeof the boiler. Wherethe actual ceiling heightof a room is
greaterthan 8', the volumeof a roomshaft be figuredon the basis
of a ceilingheighto18'. Determination o f roomsize shouldbe based
on the total volumeof air gas fired equipment i nstalledin the room.
Consutt section 6.3.1 of the National Fuel Gas Code for further
information, i ncludingapprovedmethodsfor reducingclearancesin
largerooms.
6. Equipment s hall be installedin a locationin which the facilitiesfor
ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas,properventing,and
maintenance of ambient temperatureat safe limits under normal
conditionsof use. Equipment s hall be locatedso as not to interfere
with propercirculationof air.Whennormalinfiltrationdoesnot provide
thenecessary a ir,outsideair shallbe introduced (SeePage6 - "Fresh
Air for Combustion").
7. Advise ownerto keep air passages free of obstructions. V entilating
andcombustion air mustenterboiler roomwithoutrestrictions.
8. Theboilershallbe installed suchthattheautomatic gasignitionsystem
components are protectedfrom water (dripping,spraying,rain, etc.)
during applianceoperationand service (condensatetrap, control
replacement, etc.).
