Locating the Boiler
A) The boiler should be closed in dry surroundings on a level base, making sure that there is
sufficient room around the boiler to enable the operator and/ or the maintenance engineer to
gain access to all parts of the boiler. Check location for ease of water supply and electrical
connections.
B) Place the boiler on a non-combustible floor with clearances to unprotected combustible
materials, including plaster or combustible supports.
C) It is necessary to have enough clearance from the floor to the ceiling for removing of the
burner and have the following clearance from boiler for servicing:

Boiler Room Ventilation
A) It is most important to provide free access of air to the boiler. To burner fuel properly, it
requires one square inch opening of fresh air for every 3,000 BTU input of fuel. (6.4cm
2
for
every 56 Kcal).
B) Proper ventilation of the boiler room is essential for good combustion. Install two make up air
openings, one at a low level (24” or 610mm from floor) and one at a higher level in the boiler
room wall. This will provide a flow of air to exhaust the hot air from the boiler room.
C) The following openings are the recommended for each size boiler:
