BOILER INSTALLATION
Keep the boiler area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids and vapors.
Avoid installing and operating the boiler in an
environment where saw dust, loose insulation
fibers, dry wall dust, etc. are present.
Be sure to wear protective clothing and gear when installing this boiler to prevent injury.
All seals must be air tight and all enclosure plates must be in place at all times. The seals consist of the
peephole gasket, rope gaskets, inspection plate gasket and the burner gasket. Leaks in these seals will
result in the improper operation of the boiler, which can cause smoke and/or poor CO
2
levels. Under no
circumstances should you use boiler cement to seal a gasket joint.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there is proper combustion and
ventilation.
This boiler must be properly vented, either direct vent or chimney vent.
A pressure relief valve must be installed on this boiler.
The combustion tube liner and the air tube insulator must be installed directly against the front head,
prior to starting the burner. The combustion tube liner is used to provide protection for the combustion
tube and assists with maintaining smokeless combustion, while the air tube insulator protects the air
tube.
The burner operation can be observed through the peephole located on the end head. The cast iron lever
can be conveniently rotated to one side of the peephole in order to view the fire/flame. The lever must
be returned to cover the glass when not in use.
If your boiler is being used for domestic hot water, a temperature limiting valve/thermostatic mixing
valve must be installed to prevent burns or scalding. Selection and installation must comply with the
valve manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions. Check with the local authority having
jurisdiction for regulations. Mixing valves are not included with your boiler package nor are these valves
supplied or sold by Dynatherm™.
The tankless domestic hot water coil is positioned in the hottest boiler water inside the boiler shell, just
above the fire tubes. This provides an immediate response to domestic hot water requirements.
