provisions of the local building codes.

Boiler has met safe lighting and other performance

criteria with the gas manifold and control assembly on

the boiler per the latest revision of ANSI Z21.13/CGA

4.9.

Install boiler such that gas ignition system components

are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain,

etc.) during appliance operation and service, (circulator

replacement, condensate trap, control replacement,

etc.).

Locate boiler on level, solid base as near chimney as

possible and centrally located with respect to heat

distribution system as practical.

Allow 24 inches (610mm) at front and right side for

servicing and cleaning.

When installed in utility room, door should be wide

enough to allow largest boiler part to enter, or to

permit replacement of another appliance such as water

heater.

relief valve.

Install discharge piping from safety relief valve. See

Figure 2.

• Use ¾” or larger pipe.

• Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F (191°C)

or greater.

• Individual boiler discharge piping shall be independent

of other discharge piping.

• Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid reducing

safety relief valve relieving capacity below minimum

relief valve capacity stated on rating plate.

• Run pipe as short and straight as possible to location

protecting user from scalding and properly drain

piping.

• Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve outlet.

• Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve

outlet and downstream of union (if used).

• Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).

• Terminate freely to atmosphere where discharge is

clearly visible and no risk of freezing.

WARNING

Burn and scald hazard. Safety relief valve could

discharge steam or hot water during operation.

Install discharge piping per these instructions.

WARNING

Burn and scald hazard. Safety relief valve shall be

installed with spindle in upright position only,

following ASME BPV code. Failure to follow these

instructions could result in death or serious injury.

PN 240013343 Rev. B [10/01/2021]

4.3 Flush and Rinse System

Flush the entire system and rinse thoroughly to ensure no

sludge will be introduced into the heating body of the boiler.

NOTICE

If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, install

appropriate safeguards and alarms on the heating

system to prevent property damage due to frozen

and burst pipes should the boiler heating system

become inoperative due to a power outage, safety

lockout or component failure.

or malfunction could be caused. Recommended water

quality is

o Hardness Less than 150 mg/L

o Acidity level 7-8 pH

o Sediments Particle size less than 50 micron

• If the water quality is outside these ranges, consult a local

water treatment specialist for recommendations.

• If the water is treated, do not use petroleum based

products or products containing mineral oil or hydrocarbons

in order to avoid likely damage to parts made from rubber

compounds (o-rings).

4 - CONNECTING SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING

WARNING

• Poison hazard. Ethylene glycol is toxic. Do not

use ethylene glycol.

• Never use automotive or standard glycol

antifreeze, even ethylene glycol made for hydronic

systems.

• Ethylene glycol can attack gaskets and seals used

in hydronic systems.

• Do not use petroleum based cleaning or sealing

compounds boiler system.
