Install Instructions

Flooring and foundation
Flooring
1. The boiler is approved for installation on combustible fl ooring,
but must never be installed on carpeting.
Do not install boiler on carpeting even if foundation is
used. Fire can result, causing severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
Foundation
1. Provide a solid foundation pad, at least 2 inches above the fl oor, if
any of the following is true:
• fl oor can become fl ooded.
• the fl oor is dirt, sand, gravel or other loose material.
• the boiler mounting area is severely uneven or sloped.
2. The minimum foundation size is:
• Evergreen
®
: 18 inches wide x 18 inches deep
3. Foundation may be of wood, brick or concrete (minimum 2 inches
thick) construction.
If fl ooding is possible, elevate boiler suffi ciently to prevent water
from reaching boiler.
Remove boiler from crate
The boiler is heavy. Use caution not to drop the boiler
or cause bodily injury while lifting and handling. Verify
that the boiler is securely attached to prevent possibility
of boiler falling after installation.
After the boiler is removed from the shipping carton,
DO NOT allow the boiler to sit on its bottom. This would
cause pressure on protruding plastic, resulting in interior
damage. Either lay the boiler on its back or leave on the
styrofoam protective shipping base.
Do not drop boiler or bump jacket on fl oor or pallet.
Damage to boiler can result.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been stored in a
very cold location (below 0°F) before installation, handle
with care until the plastic components come to room
temperature.
1. The Evergreen
®
boiler is generally easier to handle and maneuver
after removing the shipping container.
2. Remove items 1, 2, 3 and 6 in Figure 3 . Remove trim kit and parts
from item 2.
3.
Leave the boiler resting on the styrofoam protective base
(item 6) and bottom cardboard cap (item 7), until ready to place
on the wall. If removing the boiler from the shipping base, rest the
boiler on its back, NOT on its bottom.

Failure to comply with above and the procedure
given below could result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
1. Stud spacing: Bracket holes are spaced for studs on
16-inch centers. For other stud spacing, provide secure,
solid mounting surface on which to attach the boiler
wall-mounting bracket. The mounting surface must not
extend above the top of the boiler jacket.
2. Wood stud wall: Install bracket with lag screws (3/8" x
3") included in kit, only into the studs.
3. Metal stud wall: Secure bracket and spacer board to studs
with 3/16-inch toggle bolts and 3/16-inch fl at washers
(not included with kit).
Prepare boiler location
Wall-mounting requirements
DO NOT attempt to attach the wall mount bracket using
anchors or any means other than directly securing to the
wall studs (or equivalent wood structure if studs are not
on 16-inch centers).
The wall must be vertically plumbed and capable of
carrying the weight of the boiler and any attached
piping components.
