of the local jurisdiction having authority, and, in the
United States, to the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54. In Canada,
the installation must conform to the latest edition
of CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Gas
Installation Code, and/or local codes. Where required
by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation
of NeoTherm boilers must conform to the Standard

to the boiler, its gas controls, or wiring may void the
warranty. If field conditions require modifications,
consult the factory representative before initiating
such modifications.

1.1 Introduction

This manual provides information necessary for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of LAARS Heating
Systems NeoTherm appliances. Read it carefully before
starting the installation.
All application and installation procedures should be reviewed
completely before proceeding with the installation. Consult
the LAARS Heating Systems factory, or local factory
representative, with any problems or questions regarding
this equipment. Experience has shown that most operating
problems are caused by improper installation.
NeoTherm is protected against over pressurization. A
pressure relief valve is included with each NeoTherm. Some
NeoTherms may require that the PRV be installed prior to
filling the system. Refer to Figures 1-7 for PRV locations.
The inlet gas pressure to the appliance must not
exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa).
