    Model CFC ClearFire Commercial Boilers Water Treatment Even though hot water systems are "closed", some amount of make-up water (up to 10%) will be introduced. This more often than not happens from seal leaks of pumps, or other minimal leaks from valves etc., that go unnoticed. Therefore, proper water chemistry of a hot water boiler is necessary for good operation and longevity, particularly to ensure that free oxygen is removed to prevent waterside corrosion (see Table B5-17).

    Model CFC ClearFire Commercial Boilers Notice Consult local codes, which may supersede these requirements. Direct Vent If combustion air will be drawn directly from the outside by means of a duct Combustion connected to the burner air intake, use the following as a guide: 1.
  • Page 56 Model CFC ClearFire Commercial Boilers suppliers, and any local codes having jurisdiction. Refer to vent manufacturer’s specifications for applicability. Proper installation of flue gas exhaust venting is critical to efficient and safe operation of the Clearfire Boiler. The vent should be supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials.

Terminate vent at least three feet above any forced air inlet located within ten feet. 4. Vent must terminate at least four feet horizontally, and in no case above or below unless four feet horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
