INSTALLATION VTG-IOM-2016-1214 SECTION 2
! WARNING
Do not terminate venting into an
enclosed area.
Never use open ame or smoke from
a cigarette, cigar, or pipe as a testing
method during boiler installation,
operation, or maintenance.
Foreign substances, such as
combustible volatiles in the
combustion system can create
hazardous conditions. If foreign
substances can enter the air stream,
the boiler combustion air inlet must
be piped to an outside location.
Regular maintenance of the
lter is required (as per the lter
manufacturer’s recommendations) to
maintain the Vantage warranty.
Prevent Oxygen Contamination
There are several ways to prevent boiler water oxygen contamination:
Minimize system leaks to minimize make up water requirement
Do not use open tanks or ttings
Do not use oxygen permeable materials anywhere in the water system
Repair leaks in the system quickly
Eliminate ttings wherever possible
Use air elimination devices in system piping
Eliminate System Air
NOTE: There are no built-in boiler air eliminating features.
Adhere to the following for air elimination:
1. The installation of an air separator and air eliminator (air vent) is required.
2. To prevent scale corrosion in boiler and associated piping, make up water
must be kept to a minimum. This is best achieved by ensuring immediate
repair of all leaks and that system pressure is maintained.
3. If a sealed diaphragm-type expansion tank is used, install an air eliminator
in the hot water piping at the air separator on the suction side of the
system circulators.
4. If an air cushion type expansion tank is used, pipe tank directly into boiler
supply on the suction side of the system circulators.
5. On multi-zoned systems (or a system with both space and domestic water
heating), air elimination must be provided either in the common piping or
on every loop.
6. When the boiler is installed at a higher level than baseboard radiation (if
used), air elimination must be provided directly above the unit.
Fill the Boiler With Water
To be sure that the boiler is not air-bound, open the pressure-relief valve located
at the rear of the boiler. Leave the relief valve open until a steady ow of water is
observed. Close the valve and nish lling the system.
Install Gas Piping
The Vantage boiler is factory test red and combustion is adjusted per the boiler
data plate and test re sheet.
The gas train components are UL certied to operate at specic gas pressure
requirements. The specic requirements for each boiler are called out on the
boiler nameplate, located on the back of the boiler. Parameters depend on fuel(s)
for which the boiler is designed.
