INTRODUCTION

Introduction

• This appliance is a gas-red direct vent hot water boiler

with cast aluminum boiler sections.

• The heating system water absorbs large amounts of

heat from the cast aluminum heat exchanger, cooling

ue gases and causing condensation.

• Sealed combustion, premix gas burner, and low ame

temperature means reduced CO and NOx emissions,

which contribute to cleaner and healthier environment.

• This appliance takes its combustion air directly from

outdoors (sealed combustion) and does not compete

with building occupants for fresh air.

• Sealed combustion (also known as “direct vent”)

is safest and best way to obtain plenty of clean

combustion air.

BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES

++ AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efciency) and Heating Capacity is based on the D.O.E. (Department of Energy) test

procedure.

Heating Capacity indicates the amount of heat available after subtracting losses up the stack. Most of this heat is available

to heat water. A small portion is heat from jacket and surfaces of the boiler, and it is assumed that this heat stays in the

structure.

Net AHRI rating represents portion of remaining heat that can be applied to heat radiation or terminal units (i.e. nned

tube baseboard, cast iron radiators, radiant oor, etc.). The difference between Heating Capacity and Net AHRI Rating,

called piping and pickup allowance, establishes reserve for heating volume of water in system and offsetting heat losses

from piping.

Net AHRI ratings shown are based on piping and pickup factor of 1.15 in accordance with AHRI Standard as published

by Hydronics Institute. Net AHRI rating of boiler selected should be greater than or equal to the calculated peak heating

load (heat loss) for building or area(s) served by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. Consult manufacturer

before selecting a boiler for installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.

Boilers for use at high altitude

Canada - Boilers are factory equipped for operation at altitudes ranging from 0-4,500 feet above sea level. Contact

Provincial authority having jurisdiction for installations above 4,500 feet (1,350m) above sea level.

United States - See “Boilers For Use At High Altitude” on page 6.

Boiler Sizing

Check to be sure you have selected boiler with proper

capacity before starting installation. AHRI Rating of boiler

selected should be greater than or equal to calculated

peak heating load (heat loss) for building or area(s) served

by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. See

Table 1, Page 5.

Heat loss calculations should be based on approved

industry methods.

Boiler Location Considerations

Before selecting boiler location consider following.

• Supplied with correct type of gas (natural gas or

propane).

• Connected to suitable combustion air intake piping

system to supply correct amounts of fresh (outdoor)

air for combustion, refer to “Combustion Air and Vent

Pipe” on page 22 for details.

• Connected to suitable venting system to remove

hazardous products of gas combustion, refer to

“Combustion Air and Vent Pipe” on page 22 for details.

• Connected to suitable hot water heating system.

• Supplied with suitable electrical supply for all boiler

motors and controls.

• Connected to properly located thermostat or operating

control. Not included with boiler.

• Placed on level surface.

• Condensate drain line must be pitched down to oor

drain or external condensate pump with reservoir at ¼”

per foot (wood frame or blocks may be used to raise

boiler).

Boiler is equipped for residential installations. If used

for commercial applications, any additional code

requirements must be adhered to for installation.

This may require additional controls including but not

limited to an additional low water cut off, a manual

reset high temperature limit, and wiring and/or piping

modications.

Before servicing boiler - allow boiler to cool. Shut off

electricity and gas supply connected to boiler prior to

servicing.

Inspect gas line for leaks.

Verify gas input rate is correct. Over ring may result

in early failure of boiler sections. This may cause

dangerous operation. Under ring may result in too

much air for pre-mix burner causing poor or loss of

combustion.

Never vent products of combustion from this boiler to

enclosed space. Always vent to outdoors. Never vent to

another room or to inside building.

Be sure there is adequate outdoor air supply to boiler

for complete combustion.

Follow regular service and maintenance schedule for

efcient and safe operation.

Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of combustible

and ammable materials.

Proper through wall or through roof combustion venting

shall be in accordance with materials and methods

described in this manual. Installation must comply with

local codes.

Locating The Boiler

Place crated boiler as close to selected location as

possible and un-crate boiler. Boiler may be moved into

position with appliance dolly or 2 wheel hand truck.

Insert dolly or hand truck under left hand side of

boiler. It is possible to slide boiler for short distance on

smooth oor or surface.

Select level location central to piping systems served

and as close to vent and air intake terminals as

possible.

Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e. larger

clearances) than required re protection clearances,

must be used for boiler installation. Accessibility

clearances may be achieved with the use of removable

walls or partitions.

Boiler is approved for installation in closets and on

combustible oors. This boiler shall NOT be installed on

carpeting.

Clearances shown in Table 4

indicate required

clearances. Maintain minimum 1” clearance between

combustible construction and each of left, top and

back surfaces of the boiler. Minimum 11” clearance is

required on right side, to allow room for induced draft

blower. Allow 24” at front and 8” at top for servicing.

No clearances are required to venting or combustion air

intake piping.

Install equipment in location which facilitates operation

of venting and combustion air intake piping systems

as described in this manual. Draft inducer (blower)

may be rotated 90° or 180° to orient vent connections

towards right side or rear. Remove blower mounting

screws. Orient blower and install mounting screws. Do

not overtighten screws.

Advise owner to keep venting and combustion air

intake passages free of obstructions. Both venting

and combustion air intake piping systems connected

to outdoors must permit ow through piping systems

without restrictions for boiler operation.

Install boiler such that the automatic gas ignition

system components are protected from water

(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and

service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,

control replacement, etc.).

Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of ammable

and combustible materials, vapors and liquids.

10.

Locate boiler where minimum possible room

temperature where boiler is installed, assuming boiler

is not in operation and therefore contributes no heat

to space, is always at or above 32°F (0°C) to prevent

freezing of liquid condensate.

Combustion Air And Vent Pipe Requirements

This boiler requires a dedicated direct vent system. In a

direct vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly

from outside atmosphere, and all ue products are

discharged to outside atmosphere.

Terminate combustion air and vent pipe connections in

same atmospheric pressure zone, through roof or sidewall

(roof termination preferred). See Figure 12 thru Figure 14,

pages 24 and 25 for required clearances.

WARNING

Solvent cements are combustible. Keep away

from heat, sparks, and open ame. Use only in

well ventilated areas. Avoid breathing in vapor or

allowing contact with skin or eyes. Failure to follow

these instructions could result in re, serious injury,

or death.

• Combustion air must be clean outdoor air. Combustion

air must not be taken from inside structure because

that air frequently is contaminated by halogens, which

include uorides, chlorides, phosphates, bromides

and iodides. These elements are found in aerosols,

detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air

fresheners, paints, adhesives and other household

products.

• Locate combustion air inlet as far away as possible

from swimming pool and swimming pool pump house.

• All combustion air and vent pipes must be airtight and

watertight. Combustion air and vent piping must also

terminate as shown in

“Combustion Air and Vent

Pipe”

section.

• Vent connections serving appliances vented by

natural draft shall not be connected into any portion

of mechanical draft systems operating under positive

pressure.

BOILER INSTALLATION

P/N 240010135 Rev. D [04/15/2017]

Condensate Drain Requirements

• Pitch condensate drain line down to oor drain at

minimum of ¼” per foot. External condensate pump

(not furnished) may be used if oor drain is not

available. Installation shall conform to requirements

of authority having jurisdiction, check local codes for

requirements.

• Condensate pump must be designed for ue gas

condensate application.

• Condensate trap provided with boiler, an additional trap

is not required and should not be used.

• Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler

to maintain drain pitch or to be above external

condensate pump reservoir.

Foundation Requirements

• Install boiler on level surface.

WARNING

Fire hazard. Shall not install boiler on carpeting.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in

death or serious injury.

• Boiler is NOT to be installed on carpeting.

• If boiler is not level condensate drain lines will not

function properly. Adjustable feet are located on the

boiler to make up for minor surface irregularities or tilt.

• Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler

to maintain drain pitch or to be above external

condensate pump reservoir.

Removal of Existing Boiler From Common Vent

System

When an existing boiler is removed from a common

venting system, the common venting system is likely to be

too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining

connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler,

the following steps shall be followed with each appliance

remaining connected to the common venting system

placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining

connected to the common venting system are not in

operation.

Seal any unused openings in the common venting

system.

Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and

horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage, or

restrictions, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies

which could cause an unsafe condition.

BOILER INSTALLATION

In-so-far as is practical, close all building doors and

windows and all doors between the space in which the

appliances remaining connected to the common venting

system are located and other spaces of the building.

Turn on clothes dryer and any appliance not connected

to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust

fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhaust, so

they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a

summer exhaust fan. Close re dampers.

Place in operation the appliance being inspected.

Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so

appliances will operate continuously.

Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5

minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a

match or candle, or the smoke from a cigarette, cigar

or pipe.

After it has been determined that each appliance

remaining connected to the common venting system

properly vents when tested as outlined above, return

doors, windows, exhaust fans, re place dampers,

and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous

condition of use.

Any improper operation of the common venting system

should be corrected so the installation conforms with

the National Fuel Code, NFPA-54/ANSI -Z223.1 and/

or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CSA B149.1. When re-sizing any portion of the

common venting system, the common venting system

should be re-sized to approach the minimum size as

determined using the appropriate of the National Fuel

Gas Code, NFPA-54/ANSI- Z223.1 and/or the Natural

Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.
