C. Leveling
In order for the condensate to properly ow out of the
collection system, the area where you locate the boiler must
be level. Location must also fully support the weight of the
lled boiler.
Figure 1 - Correct and Incorrect Leveling
D. Clearances for Service Access
All boilers eventually leak. It is recommended to install a catch
pan beneath the boiler. This catch pan should be sized with a
maximum depth of 2”, and a minimum diameter 2” greater than
the diameter of the boiler. The catch pan should empty into
an open drain line. This drain line should be 3/4” ID minimum,
piped to an open drain. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in property damage. Such damages ARE NOT covered by
product warranty.
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown
in Figure 2 it might not be possible to service the boiler
without removing it from the space.
The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air
openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the
same space as the boiler. The boiler cover must be securely
fastened to prevent the boiler from drawing air from the boiler
room. This is particularly important if the boiler is in a room with
other appliances. Failure to comply with the above warnings
could result in substantial property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Assure that the oor and structure of the installation location
are sucient to support the full installed weight of the
boiler, including water content of the heat exchanger and
related piping. Failure to ensure the oor and structure of the
installation location are structurally sound before installation
of the boiler can result in structural failure, substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
This boiler is approved for installation on combustible
ooring, but must never be installed on carpeting. Installing
this boiler on carpeting could result in re, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
B. Flooring
NOTE: It is recommended that the boiler be installed on
a 4 - 6” raised boiler pad rated for the weight of the fully
operational boiler and related piping. If ooding is a concern,
it is recommended to further elevate the boiler pad to prevent
water from reaching the boiler.
Gas conversion should be performed BEFORE the boiler is
installed. Carefully follow the gas conversion instructions
when performing the conversion. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable
front clearance.
E. Residential Garage and Closet Installations
Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for
requirements when installing the boiler in a garage or closet.
Please read the entire manual before attempting installation.
Failure to properly take factors such as venting, piping,
condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation
could result in wasted time, money, and possible property
damage and personal injury.
Precautions
If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
• Install the boiler burner and ignition devices a minimum
of 18” above the oor of the garage. This will ensure the
burner and ignition devices are well o the oor.
