V locating the Boiler WARNING Failure to observe the following location requirements could result in property damage, a fire, explosion or carbon monoxide (CO) hazard. 1) Clearances: • Observe the minimum clearances shown below. Except as noted, these clearances apply to all combustible construction, as well as noncombustible walls, ceilings and doors.
1) Do not install this boiler directly on a combustible floor. Where it is desired to install an FSZ on a non-carpeted combustible floor, install the boiler on a base constructed as shown in Figure 5.1 2) If listed Type L vent is used, follow vent pipe manufacturer recommendations for minimum clearances. 3) Do not install this boiler in a location where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids will be stored or used.

VII Venting WARNING • Improper venting may result in property damage and/or the release of flue gases, which contain deadly carbon monoxide (CO), into the home, which can cause severe personal injury or death. • Inspect existing chimney before installing boiler. Failure to clean or replace damaged pipe or tile lining will cause property damage, severe personal injury or death.

VIII System Piping WARNING • Install boiler so that the electrical components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) During appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, etc.). • Operation of this boiler in a system having significant amounts of dissolved oxygen can cause severe heat exchanger corrosion damage.
FIGurE 8.2: nEar BOIlEr PIPInG MIStaKES Piping Installation 1) Remove parts bag from boiler crate. 2) Install safety valve as shown in Figure 8.1 into the 3/4” tapping “F” on rear of the boiler (spindle must be in vertical position). 3) Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to a location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property damage if the valve opens.

IX InDIrEct & tanKlESS WatEr HEatEr PIPInG InDIrEct WatEr HEatEr PIPInG All FSZ series boilers are equipped with tappings to permit the connection of a Crown Mega-Stor, or other indirect water heater. In this type of system, hot boiler water is drawn from below the water line and passed through the heat exchanger in the indirect water heater.
IMPOrtant • Some indirect water heaters may not be suitable for use with a steam boiler. Consult the water heater manufacturer’s guidelines before installing it in this type of system. • Boiler water temperatures and flow rates in this type of system may be considerably lower than those upon which the water heater manufacturer’s ratings are based.
Page 23
6) Unions (Required) - Tankless heaters may require periodic gasket replacement or other maintenance which requires removal of the heater from the boiler. Install unions anywhere in the tankless heater piping that will facilitate removal of the heater. FIGurE 9.2: tanKlESS HEatEr PIPInG...
X Fuel line Piping WARNING • Under no circumstances can copper with sweat style connectors be used. • Do not use compression fittings. • Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. • Some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible shutoff valve at the tank and/or the burner. In addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible electrical interlock with the burner circuit.
Page 25
10) All systems require an oil filter. Use of a high efficiency micron filter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to a conventional filter is highly recommended, particularly on the FSZ080. 11) Use only #2 Fuel Oil with physical and chemical characteristics meeting the requirements of ASTM D-396.
XI Wiring WARNING • All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70). • Disconnect electrical power to the boiler and heating system before servicing. Positively assure that no voltage is present.
Indirect Water Heater Wiring Figure 11.2 shows field wiring for an indirect water heater. A Honeywell R845A or equivalent DPST relay and transformer is required. The high limit described in Part VIII must also be supplied by the installer. A call for heat from the indirect water heater thermostat will energize the relay making both sets of contacts.

XII Start-up and checkout WARNI NG • Never attempt to fill a hot empty boiler. • Make sure that the area around the boiler is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. • Safe reliable operation of this boiler requires that the burner be checked and adjusted by a qualified oil serviceman using combustion test instruments.

FIGurE 12.0: FluE DraFt taPPInG 17) Check the vacuum at the inlet of the fuel pump. Make sure that the vacuum does not exceed the fuel pump manufacturer’s limit (consult the pump manufacturer’s instructions). 18) Close the flame observation cover. 19) After chimney has warmed-up for at least 5 minutes, adjust barometric draft regulator to obtain a draft at the 1/4”...

This will prevent unsteady water line and water carry over into supply main.

XIII Service and Maintenance a. Water Side Maintenance the following procedure should be performed on an annual basis: 1) Turn off electrical power and oil supply to the boiler. 2) Inspect the low water cut-off: • For Hydrolevel CG450 low water cut-offs - Remove and inspect the probe for scale and sediment buildup. Clean any sediment or scale from the probe with a scouring pad or steel wool.
Page 37
B. Fire Side Maintenance WARNING All boiler cleaning must be completed with the burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber.
Page 38
WARNING The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.

Important Product Safety Information Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product Warning: The Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RFC has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact, RFC changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen.
XIV trouble Shooting a. combustion 1) Nozzles - The selection of the nozzle supplied with the FSZ boiler is the result of extensive testing to obtain the best flame shape and efficient combustion. Other brands of the same spray angle and pattern may be used but may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and smoke.
