LOCATION
1. The boiler must be located on a rigid, non-
combustible floor or base such as cement,
tile, brick etc.
a. A suitable enclosure, usually a basement,
is a desirable location.
2. Check to make sure the area is free and clear
from any combustible materials, surfaces or
flammable liquids, and make sure there is
plenty of room around the boiler for fresh air.
3. The water return and flue can be piped from
either side of the boiler.
4. The recommended base size and necessary
clearance distances from the edge of the
boiler to any combustible surface, chimney or
any other obstruction is indicated below.

The above chart shows the absolute minimum clearance needed. As an additional safety measure,
Dynatherm™ recommends a minimum of 24” at the front end (burner end), 48” at the rear end (coil end),
and 12” from the top and sides of the boiler for ideal working access.
