Boiler Sizing 
Check to be sure you have selected boiler with proper 
capacity before starting installation. AHRI Rating of boiler 
selected should be greater than or equal to calculated 
peak heating load (heat loss) for building or area(s) served 
by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. See 
 Table 1, Page 5 . 
Heat loss calculations should be based on approved 
industry methods.
Boiler Location Considerations
Before selecting boiler location consider following. 
• Supplied with correct type of gas (natural gas or 
propane).
• Connected to suitable combustion air intake piping 
system to supply correct amounts of  fresh (outdoor) 
air for combustion, refer to  “Combustion Air and Vent 
Pipe” on page 22  for details.
• Connected to a suitable venting system to remove 
the hazardous products of gas combustion, refer to 
 “Combustion Air and Vent Pipe” on page 22  for details.
• Connected to a suitable hot water heating system.
• Supplied with a suitable electrical supply for all boiler 
motors and controls.
• Connected to a properly located thermostat or 
operating control. Not included with boiler.
• Placed on level surface. DO NOT install on carpeting.
• Condensate drain line must be pitched down to fl oor 
drain or external condensate pump with reservoir at ¼” 
per foot (wood frame or blocks may be used to raise 
boiler).
1. 
Boiler is equipped for residential installations. If used 
for commercial applications, any additional code 
requirements must be adhered to for installation. This 
may require additional controls including but not limited 
to a low water cut off, a manual reset high temperature 
limit, and wiring and/or piping modifi cations. 
2. 
Before servicing boiler - allow boiler to cool. Shut off 
electricity and gas supply connected to boiler prior to 
servicing.
3. 
Inspect gas line for leaks.
4. 
Verify gas input rate is correct. Over fi ring may result 
in early failure of boiler sections. This may cause 
dangerous operation. Under fi ring may result in too 
much air for pre-mix burner causing poor or loss of 
combustion.
5. 
Never vent products of combustion from this boiler to 
enclosed space. Always vent to outdoors. Never vent to 
another room or to inside building.
6. 
Be sure there is adequate outdoor air supply to boiler 
for complete combustion.
7. 
Follow regular service and maintenance schedule for 
effi cient and safe operation. 
8. 
Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of combustible 
and fl ammable materials.
9. 
Proper through wall or through roof combustion venting 
shall be in accordance with materials and methods 
described in this manual. Installation must comply with 
local codes.
10. 
Boiler and related hot water heating systems are not do 
it yourself items they must be installed and serviced by 
qualifi ed professionals.
