III Before Installing 1) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in strict accordance with this manual and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, this installation must conform to the Standard for Co

FIGURE 2: CLEARANCE FROM BOILER TO ALL TYPES OF COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND NONCOMBUSTIBLE CEILINGS, WALLS AND DOORS 4) The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible. 5) Do not install this boiler over carpeting. 6) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad. V Air for Combustion and Ventilation Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution. Provisions for combustion, ve

b. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is: Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft) In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are installed between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consider the volume of the adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open. c. Divide the volume of the boiler room by the input in thousands of BT

For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction 1) Openings must be installed between the boiler room and the outdoors or a ventilated space, such as an attic or crawl space, which communicates directly with the outdoors. 2) Two openings are required. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling. The bottom edge of the lower opening must be within 12 inches of the floor. 3) Size openings and ducts as follows: Vertical ducts or openings directly outdoors (Figure 4,

Typical vent installation is illustrated by Figure 8. The components of vent installation are boiler draft diverter, vent damper,

The size and location of the chimney may not permit the use of a single wall connector in some cases. See Chapter 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code. Do not use single wall pipe for vent connectors in attics. Other Vent Connectors Permitted b

7) Do not connect the boiler into a chimney flue serving an open fireplace or other solid fuel appliance. 8) Prior to boiler installation, inspect chimney for obstructions or other defects and correct as required. Clean chimney as necessary. 9) Vent pipe should slope upward from draft diverter not less than one inch in four feet. No portion of vent pipe should run downward or have sags. Vent pipe must be securely supported. 10) The vertical section of vent pipe coming off the boiler should be as

VIII System Piping CAUTION INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE GAS IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED FROM WATER (DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC.) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND SERVICE (CIRCULATOR REPLACEMENT, ETC.). OPERATION OF THIS BOILER WITH CONTINUOUS RETURN TEMPERATURES BELOW 120°F CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE. OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM HAVING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE. DO NOT USE TOXIC ADDI

FIGURE 11: STANDARD BOILER PIPING 6) Low Water Cut-Off (Required in some situations) - A low water cutoff is required when the boiler is installed above radiation. In addition, some codes such as ASME CSD-1 require low water cutoffs. Codes may also require that this low water cutoff have a manual reset function. The low water cutoff may be a float type or probe type, but must be designed for use in a hot-water system. The low water cutoff should be piped into the boiler supply just above

2) Large Water Volume Systems - The piping shown in Figure 13 will minimize the amount of time that the boiler operates with return temperatures below 120°F on these systems. A bypass is installed as shown to divert some supply water directly into the return water. The bypass pipe should be the same size as the supply. The two throttling valves shown are adjusted so that the return temperature rises above 120°F during the first few minutes of operation. A three-way valve can be substituted f

5) Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel as shown in Figure 15. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler. 6) Air Handlers - Where the boiler is connected to air handlers through which refrigerated air passes, use flow control valves in the boiler piping or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during the cooling cycle.

Wiring Variations 1) Multiple Circulator Zones – Figure 18 shows wiring for two or more circulator zones using Honeywell R845As. One R845A is required for each circulator zone. Circulator terminals “C1” and “C2” on the L8148E are not used. A DPST Honeywell RA832A may be substituted in place of the R845A using the “X” and “X” terminals in place of the “5” and “6” terminals on a R845A. A call for heat from any thermostat will energize the DPST relay in that zone’s R845A. When this relay is ener
