series 2 wall mount gas-fired water boiler – boiler manual
Installations must comply with:
y Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances.
y National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edi-
tion.
y National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition.
y Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the instal-
lation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety

Certication
e FreeStyle® boiler gas manifold and controls met
safe lighting and other performance criteria when
boiler underwent tests specied in ANSI Z21.13 —
latest edition.
Flooring
1. e boiler must not be installed on carpeting.
Do not install boiler on carpeting even if founda-
tion is used. Fire can result, causing severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
Before locating the boiler:
1. Wall construction — Make sure the wall construction is
suitable to carry the weight of the boiler and components.
See page7 for instructions.
2. e boiler is suitable for INDOOR installation only.
3. Check for nearby connection to:
y System water piping
y Venting connections
y Gas supply piping
y Electrical power
y Condensate drain
4. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline and other ammable liquids.
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline and other ammable liquids
and vapors can result in severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
5. e FreeStyle® boiler must be installed so that gas control
system components are protected from dripping or spraying
water or rain during operation or service.
6. If new boiler will replace existing boiler, check for and correct
system problems, such as:
y Sediment or corrosion in system piping — clean and ush
piping BEFORE connecting the new boiler. See page75.
y System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger
cracks from hard water deposits.
y Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
y Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system
and boiler to freeze and leak.
Residential garage installation
Precautions
1. Take the following special precautions when installing the
boiler in a residential garage. If the boiler is located in a resi-
dential garage:
y Mount the boiler with its bottom at least 18inches above
the oor. is complies with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 for U. S. installations, or CSA B149.1.
y Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
y Ensure that the installation complies with all applicable
codes.
y Prevent boiler water and condensate from freezing.
Provide air openings to room
FreeStyle
®
boiler alone in boiler room
1. No air ventilation openings into boiler room are needed if
clearances around FreeStyle® boiler are at least equal to the
SERVICE clearances shown in Figure1,page5.
2. For spaces that DO NOT supply the minimum service clear-
ances, provide two openings as shown in Figure1,page5.
Each opening must provide 1square inch free area per 1,000
Btuh of boiler input.

2 Prepare boiler location
Codes & checklist
e space must be provided with combustion/
ventilation air openings correctly sized for all
appliances located in the same space as the
FreeStyle ® boiler.
Reinstall boiler jacket door aer servicing. e
boiler jacket door must be securely fastened to
the boiler to prevent boiler from drawing air
from inside the boiler room. is is particularly
important if the boiler is located in the same
room as other appliances.
Failure to comply with the above warnings
could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Vent and air piping
1. e FreeStyle® boiler requires a special vent system, designed for
pressurized venting. FreeStyle® boilers are rated ANSI Z21.13
Direct Vent (pressurized vent, likely to condense in the vent). See
instructions beginning on page15.
2. You must also install air piping from outside to the boiler
air intake adapter. e resultant installation is categorized as
direct vent (sealed combustion). Note prevention of combus-
tion air contamination on page6 when considering vent/air
termination.
3. Vent and air must terminate near one another unless otherwise
specied in this manual. Vent and air piping may be routed
vertically through the roof or out a side wall, following the
options give in this manual. You may use any of the vent/air
piping methods covered in this manual. Do not attempt to
install the FreeStyle® boiler using any other means.
4. Be sure to locate the boiler such that the vent and air piping
can be routed through the building and properly terminated.
e vent/air piping lengths, routing and termination method
must all comply with the methods and limits in instructions
beginning on page15.
