Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors can
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
If the Ultra boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for and correct system problems, such as:
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. Failure to correct such conditions could result in failure of
the new boiler.

— Boiler Manual
Before placing the boiler, verify:
• Applicable state, local and national codes.
• National Electrical Code.
• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/
ASME CSD-1, when required.
• Canadian Standards Association CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil-Burning Equip-
ment.
• CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part One.
• Applicable provincial and local codes.
• The boiler area must be kept free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable liquids.
• The boiler must be installed so that boiler and system components are protected from
dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
• See manual pages 38 and 39 for boiler dimensions and weights.
• If necessary, the boiler jacket can be removed if desired for handling. See manual
pages 30 and 31 for instructions.
• Provide minimum clearances to combustible materials and for servicing boiler.
• Ensure that the swing-away burner door can swing open freely. (The hinge can be
mounted on right or left side.)
• See manual page 10 for instructions on changing door hinge location.
• Provide level flooring (non-carpeted combustible flooring is acceptable if boiler level-
ing legs are installed).
• Provide foundation if necessary.
• See manual page 8.
• Boiler room must provide adequate combustion air and ventilation.
• Unless burner uses ducted outside air for combustion, the boiler room must provide
combustion air openings.
• See manual page 8.
Chimney venting:
• Ensure the vent pipe can be routed to the chimney, and that the chimney connection
is higher than the boiler flue outlet.
• Ensure the vent piping will provide minimum clearances shown on manual pages 7
and 11.
• See manual pages 11 and 12 for venting information.
Direct venting:
• The Ultra oil boiler can be direct vented, using the Field Controls Direct Vent Kit,
model number FDVS-46, and vent pipe model number FVOP-415. Verify that the vent
piping can be installed and routed to the outside wall as specified in the Field Con-
trols instruction manual.
• Ensure the vent piping will provide minimum clearances shown on manual page 7.
• Check location of system water piping connections to be sure boiler can be properly
connected.
• See manual pages 13 through 17.
• See manual page 21 for routing of fuel lines.
• The boiler requires 120 vac power and connection to a room thermostat or other
device to initiate call for heat.
• If equipped with an AFM, the boiler requires a 20-amp service.
• See manual pages 18 through 20.
• System leaks causing
