4.1 - INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
BURNER
The burner is factory set for use with No. 2 Oil.
ROOM SEALED BAL
ANCED FLUES
“The flue pipe should be mounted so that it is separated
from any combustible material forming a part of the
building by a minimum of 2”.
Such combustible material may take the form of cladding
on the surface of a non-combustible wall through which
the flue outlet passes. In such a case, the cladding
adjacent to the flue outlet should be replaced by
non-combustible material extending not less than 2”
beyond the outside dimensions of the flue outlet.
The wall through which the flue outlet passes may itself be
of combustible material, and if so the flue outlet, where it
passes through the wall, should be surrounded by
non-combustible insulating material not less than 2” thick
(see diagram on Page 13). The insulating material itself
should be contained in a steel liner to provide the
necessary structural rigidity and to prevent moisture
reaching the insulating material.”
Please note following important points before
commencing installation. Failure to do so will
invalidate warranty
INST
ALLATION & COMMISSIONING:
Boilers must be installed, commissioned and serviced by
qualified and licensed technician and as set out in the
installation manual, using correct test equipment.
PLASTIC PIPING - WARNING
The boiler thermostat control and safety system is not
designed, and must not be relied on, to protect plastic
pipe (PEX) from overheating. Plastic pipe must never be
connected directly to the boiler. If you choose to use
plastic pipe anywhere on your heating circuits, then
please consult the plastic pipe manufacturer for their
instructions on how to ensure their product never
overheats. Our boiler control and safety high limit
controls are not designed to fulfil this function. (They
may suggest the fitting of independent pipe thermostats,
or thermostatic mixing valves linking flow and return).
• QHT accepts no responsibility for failure of plastic
piping and fittings for what ever reason.
WARNING:
The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for any
damage to persons, animals or property due to error in
installation or in the burner adjustment or due to
improper or unreasonable use or non observance of the
technical instruction enclosed with the burner, or due to
the intervention of unqualified personnel.
BOILER OPER
ATING AND HIGH LIMIT
CONTROLS
The HIGH LIMIT CONTROL on the boiler allows the
homeowner to vary the water flow temperature from a
low of 110˚F to a high of 200˚F, depending on the model.
In cases where the water level in the heating system is
below elevation to boiler, a low water cut off
is supplied. This is to prevent the boiler from being
dry-fired.
