    Caprice NEW – OUTDOOR SENSOR Meets Sept. 2012 requirements for “Automatic Means” Model Numbers: C85-340 Version Date: 2014-09-17 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CAPRICE OIL BOILER Venting Applications: Natural Draft or Direct Vent (Balanced Flue) TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ........................ 3 SPECIFICATIONS ......................
  • Page 2 Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) - The HydroStat 3250, when installed in a Caprice or Triton boiler, cannot be used as a LWCO due to it’s location in the boiler; therefore, a standard well is factory supplied with the unit. If a LWCO device is required, an external LWCO must be field installed to provide protection against firing with low water levels.
  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction - Installation & Operation Instructions 1.0 INTRODUCTION General Installation Requirements The installation of your NTI Caprice oil boiler shall be in accordance with these instructions and the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction and must comply with the following codes and standards: United States ...
  • Page 4 Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death. Blocked Vent Switch - All Natural Draft Caprice boilers require a Blocked Vent Switch which is factory supplied and packaged with the burner kit and is mandatory in Canada.
  • Page 5 Introduction - Installation & Operation Instructions Direct Vent Applications There are four Caprice models, C95-C150, certified for installation as a Direct Vent boiler. This balanced flue system requires a special venting system in order to pressurize and essentially equalize the inlet and outlet pressure to ensure normal operation.
  • Page 6: Specifications

    For proper operation, there must be enough natural or mechanical draft. Due to the design of the Caprice, it may operate at a positive over fire pressure up to +.20 at -.03 draft. Due to installation and equipment variations, recommended air settings are a guideline and will require alteration. See Tables 2-1 and 2-2.
  • Page 7 Introduction - Installation & Operation Instructions Direct Vent Application Draft Settings (Direct Vent) - Due to the design of the balanced flue system, the Caprice will operate at a positive draft pressure and a positive over fire pressure at all times. It is designed to operate with a maximum stack draft of 0.25”...
  • Page 8: Boiler Location

    C 85-340 3.0 BOILER LOCATION In all cases, the Caprice must be installed indoors in a dry location where the ambient temperature must be maintained above freezing and below 100F [38C]. All boiler components must be protected from dripping, spraying water, or rain during operation and servicing. Consider the proximity to the following when determining the best boiler location.
