If the installation does not provide the minimum clear-
ances, then the enclosure MUST HAVE air openings located per
Figure23,page20. Each of these air openings must have free area
of at least 1square inch per 1,000 MBH of boiler input.
B Le side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
C Top of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12.0 inches minimum
D Right side clearance to combustibles = 1.0 inches minimum
E Bottom of boiler clearance to combustibles = 12 inches minimum
(must be 18inches above oor for garage installations)
F Clearance in front of the boiler = 12.0 inches, but 36 inches
minimum required for service
H Vent pipe must be minimum 3/16 inch from combustibles. Open-
ing in combustible wall, oor, ceiling or roof must be 3/8” larger
than ue pipe diameter, tted with galvanized steel thimble, or
larger if required by codes or as specied by vent pipe manufac-
turer.
ADDITIONAL service clearance may be
