INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The installation must conform to the requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such require-

ments, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edi-

tion or CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane.

This installation must also conform to the additional require-

ments in this Slant/Fin instruction book. Installation and service

to be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the

gas supplier.

NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION—

Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location should

be as near the chimney as possible so that the flue pipe from

boiler to chimney is short and direct.

Automatic gas ignition system components shall be installed

so these components will not be subjected to dripping water

during installation or service.

WARNING

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIRED

BOILER LOCATION

REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air.

Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves must NOT be

installed in locations where propane leaking from defective

equipment and piping will "pool" in a basement or other

space below the leak.

A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignite

the accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire.

Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location

should be as near the chimney as possible so that the flue

pipe from boiler to chimney is short and direct.

THE UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE may be in effect in

your geographic area.

The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORM

MECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6 or CSA B149.1-00 for

propane:

"LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-burning

appliances shall not be installed in a pit, basement or

similar location where heavier-than-air gas might collect.

Appliances so fueled shall not be installed in an above-

grade under-floor space or basement unless such

location is provided with an approved means for removal

of unburned gas."

Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL

CODE or CSA B149.1-00 for design criteria of the

"approved" means for removal of unburned gas.

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS—

A. Galaxy boilers may be vented into a masonry vitreous tile-

lined chimney or Type “B” Venting system NOT EXPOSED to

the OUTDOORS below the roof line.

Venting and sizing of venting system must be in accordance

with the requirements of the local gas utility, local building

codes and other authorities having jurisdiction.

If a masonry chimney is exposed to the outdoors on one or

more sides below the roof line (exterior chimney), ONE of

the following options apply:

1. Chimney must be re-lined with an approved metallic liner.

When this is done, the chimney will be considered NOT

exposed to the outdoors and the requirements of the

National Fuel Gas Code for NON-exposed chimneys

and/or local codes will apply.

2. If an exposed tile-lined chimney is to be used WITHOUT a

metallic liner, the boiler must first meet the requirements of

the following tables and paragraphs of the National Fuel

Gas Code:

I. For Single Galaxy Boiler—Paragraph 11.2.9 and table

11.11.

II. For multiple appliances—Paragraph 11.3.18 and table

11.12 (or 11.13 if applicable).

In addition, all requirements of the local gas utility, local

building codes and other authorities having jurisdiction

apply.

B. If an existing boiler is removed from a common venting sys-

tem, the common venting system may be too large for prop-

er venting of the remaining appliances connected to the

common vent. Follow the test procedure shown in Appendix

"A" on page 20 of this manual to insure proper operation of

venting system and appliances.

C. Inspect for proper and tight construction. Any restrictions or

obstructions must be removed. An existing chimney may

require cleaning.

D. Chimney or vent must extend at least 914 mm (3 feet) above

its passage through a roof and at least 914 mm (3 feet)

above any ridge within 3048 mm (10 feet) of the chimney.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE

CONSTRUCTION —

A. Minimum boiler clearances shall be as follows:

BOILER FOUNDATION

A. Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting the

weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at least

51 mm (2") past the jacket on all sides. See dimensions of

boilers, page 2.

B. For installation on non-combustible floors only.*

C. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing

electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes

or the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific

requirements.

* The Combustible Floor Kit part number printed on the boiler rating plate is

the only one to be used when installing on combustible floors. The boiler

must NOT be installed on carpeting.
