NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE BOILER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
(Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions).
G. REMOVING A BOILER FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
When removing an existing boiler, the following steps must be followed.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to
determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies that could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the
common venting system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes dryers
and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed.
Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting
instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
H. UNCRATING AND MOVING BOILER
Uncrating Boiler – Any claims for damage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
Cold Weather Handling – If boiler has been stored in a very cold location (below 0
o
F) before installation, handle with care until the
plastic components come to room temperature.
The boiler is very heavy. If the location is not level, adjust the boiler’s leveling feet to ensure a level boiler and proper flow of
condensate. If surface flooring is rough, care should be taken not to catch the leveling feet and damage the boiler when moving it into
position.
PART 4 – BOILER PIPING
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other boiler. This will cause flue gas spillage or boiler malfunction, resulting in
possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
