SECTION I - Pre-Installation Items
Code Compliance
The CHALLENGER is certified to both the
Boiler (ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9) and Water
Heater (ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA4.3) standards.
Due to the CHALLENGER’s unique heat
exchanger design which incorporates two inde-
pendent copper water tube coils; one for space
heating and the other for domestic hot water,
the CHALLENGER can be installed as a
Boiler or Water Heater or both. The unused
system does not have to be connected or filled.
Parameter 1 (Installation Type) will need to be
set accordingly (0= Heat and DHW, 2 = DHW
Only and 3 = Heat Only), see page 52 for
Setting Parameters.
This appliance must be installed in accordance
to the following:
- All applicable local, state, national and
provincial codes, ordinances, regula-
tions and laws.
- For installations in Massachusetts, code
requires the appliance to be installed by
a licensed plumber or gas fitter, and if
antifreeze is utilized, the installation of
a reduced pressure backflow preventer
device is required in the boiler’s cold
water fill or make up water supply line.
- For installation in Massachusetts all direct
vented appliances must comply with the
guidelines as outlined on page 10.
- Massachusetts Plumbing Board Product
Approval Code # is CI-0111-219 for the
CHALLENGER.
- The National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54/
ANSI Z223.1 - Latest edition.
- National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
- For installations in Canada -“Installation
Code for Gas Burning Equipment”
CAN/CSA B149.1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1 CSA C22.1.
- Standards for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers,
ANSI/ASME CSD-1, when required.
The CHALLENGER gas manifold and
gas controls meet the safe lighting and
other performance requirements as speci-
fied in ANSI Z21.13 standard.
Determining Product Location
Before locating the CHALLENGER check for
convenient locations to:
- Heating system piping
- Domestic water supply piping
- Venting
- Gas supply piping
- Electrical service
Ensure the appliance location allows the com-
bustion air and vent piping to be routed directly
through the building and terminate properly in
the same pressure zone outside with a minimum
amount of length and bends.
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of the
CHALLENGER is free of any combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
Failure to remove or maintain the area
free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids or vapors
can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Ensure the CHALLENGER and its controls
are protected from dripping or spraying water
during normal operation or service.
The CHALLENGER should be installed in a
location so that any water leaking from the
appliance, piping connections or relief valve
will not cause damage to the surrounding area
or any lower floors in the structure. When such
location cannot be avoided, it is recommended
that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be
installed under the appliance. The pan must not
restrict combustion air flow.
