SERIES 2 WALL MOUNT GAS-FIRED WATER BOILER — Boiler Manual
3 Prepare boiler
Remove boiler from carton
The boiler is heavy. Use caution not to drop the
boiler or cause bodily injury while lifting and han-
dling. Verify that the boiler is securely attached to
prevent possibility of boiler falling after installation.
Do not drop boiler or bump jacket on floor or pallet.
Damage to boiler can result.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been stored
in a very cold location (below 0°F) before installa-
tion, handle with care until the plastic components
come to room temperature.
1. The boiler is generally easier to handle and maneuver after
removing the shipping container.
2.
Leave the boiler resting on the styrofoam protective base
and bottom cardboard cap, until ready to place on the wall.
The boiler is arranged and designed for wall
mounting and comes standard with a hanging
bracket. The wall fixture must ensure stable and
effective support for the boiler.
Please review the following information on potential combustion
air contamination problems.
See Table 1 for products and areas which may cause contaminated
combustion air.
To prevent potential of severe personal injury or
death, check for products or areas listed below be-
fore installing boiler. If any of these contaminants
are found:
• remove contaminants permanently.
— OR —
• isolate boiler and provide outside combustion air.
See national, provincial or local codes for further
information.
Air contamination
Table 1
Corrosive contaminants and likely locations
You must pipe combustion air to the boiler
air intake
.
Install air inlet piping for the boiler as described in
this manual.
The air termination fitting must be installed with
the clearances and geometry relative to the vent
outlet depicted in this manual to ensure that flue
products do not enter the air intake.
Ensure that the combustion air will not contain
any of the contaminants in Table 1. Do not pipe
combustion air near a swimming pool, for example.
Avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry
facilities. These areas will always contain contami-
nants.
Contaminated combustion air will damage the
boiler, resulting in possible severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
