SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY, THE FOLLOW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•OPEN WINDOWS
•DON'T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES
•EXTINGUISH OPEN FLAMES
•IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER
1. Instructions must be posted in a prominent location and all safety precautions taken
in the event the user smells gas. Obtain this information from your local gas supplier.
2. LIGHTING: Follow the instruction on page 6 and label attached to right side of water
boiler.
3. Do not place anything over the flue opening.
4. Do not place combustibles or non-combustible materials in the
proximity of water boiler as this could cause fires or obstruct air flow to the main
burners.
5. This installation must conform with local codes, or in absence of local codes with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.
6. Provide adequate air supply and ventilation.
7. Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
8. Provide clearance for servicing and proper operation. Minimum clearance from
combustible construction 8" from back and 6" from side.
9. Boiler must be disconnected from gas supply during any pressure testing of
pipelines in excess of 1/2 psig, and isolated (by turning off gas shut-off valve) during
any testing less than 1/2psig.
10. Retain this manual for future reference.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTION: Carefully unpack the water boiler and inspect
immediately for shipping damages. Your automatic water boiler was shipped in a carton
designed to give maximum protection in normal handling. It was thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory and the carrier accepted and signed for it. File any claims for
shipping damage or irregularities with the carrier.
ASSEMBLY: The four legs, faucet, float ball, and vent cap drain are packed separately
with the water boiler. Install legs by tilting the water boiler on its side and screwing the
legs into the leg supports until hand tight. Carefully right the unit and install it in its
permanent location, being sure to leave at least 6" on the right side of the water boiler
for access to the control box. Level the unit by adjusting the bottom pad of the legs.
Screw the ball float (54 on Parts III.) onto the end of the water
2

inlet valve rod (53). Place the vent cap (50) into the recess in the top of the unit. Mount
the faucet assembly (56) onto the shank (18).

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION:
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: The installation of your water boiler must be
made by a licensed plumber and the installation must conform with State and Local
Codes or in absence of Local Codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 a
latest version.
AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION: Adequate ventilation and air supply must be
provided in order for the water boiler to operate properly and efficiently. The area in
front of and above the unit must be clear to avoid any obstruction of flow of combustion
and ventilation air. DO NOT under
any circumstances, connect the water boiler flue directly to 3 building exhaust system
or place the flue outlet directly into the plenum of the exhaust hood as it will adversely
affect the gas combustion of the water boiler.

CLEARANCES: Your water boiler is design certified to use on combustible floors. The
side and back clearances for combustible constructions are as follows: 6 inches from
side and 8 inches from back. The water boiler must be installed with4 inch high legs
provided.
GAS CONNECTION: Before connecting the water boiler to the gas line, check the
rating label on the side panel to make sure that the gas type called for on the label
coincides with the type of gas available on site. A 3/8 NPT gas connection is needed
to connect the unit to the gas line. An accessible manual shut-off valve must be
installed in the gas supply line in case of an emergency. The gas supply pipe must be
sized to accommodate all the gas fired equipment that may be connected to it. Check
with your local Gas Company as to proper pipe size. Sealant on all pipe joints must
be resistive to propane gas. Before attempting to light the water boiler, check all joints
for gas tightness using a soap and water solution.
WATER CONNECTION: Use 1/4 inch outside diameter copper tubing to
connect the unit to the water supply line. The water line must have a
shut-off valve (supplied by a plumber). At the unit, connect the tubing to
the compression water inlet valve at the upper right hand side of the
unit.
NOTE: Connecting the unit to a warm water supply will speed by heating
and recovery time.
PRIMING OR INITIAL FILLING: Turn on the water supply. The unit fills at the rate of 1
gallon/minute. When the water level becomes visible in the side gauge turn the
thermostat knob to ON position. The boiler will now automatically fill to capacity and
heat the water.
LIGHTING AND ADJUSTMENT: Water must be visible in the sight glass before
lighting to pilot. Turn the thermostat knob to its lowest position. Turn gas cock dial to
PILOT position. Depress gas cock dial and light pilot with a long lighted match
through the opening located to the right of the thermostat. Hold in depressed position
for approximately 30 sec. or until pilot remains lit when dial is released.
NOTE: On the first lighting it may be necessary to hold the dial for a longer period to
allow trapped air to escape from the line.
DIAL SETTINGS AND CORRESPONDING WATER TEMPERATURES:
"1"= 50F,"10”=198F
6

RELIGHTING: Shut off all gas and wait approximately 3 minutes before relighting the
pilot.
SHUTTING DOWN: For temporary shut down, turn the thermostat to lowest or OFF
position; then turn gas cock dial to PILOT position. To shut boiler down completely,
partially depress and turn gas cock dial to OFF position.
MAINTENACE OR REPAIR: The owner should contact either the manufacturer or an
approved local service company for maintenance or repair of the unit.
CLEANING: The outside of the unit should be cleaned on a regular basis using a
soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended.
For cleaning the burner see section on removal and" cleaning.
FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION: Turn the thermostat knob to "10" and remove knob
without moving the thermostat shaft. Place narrow bladed screw driver (1/8") into the
hollow thermostat shaft and engage center adjustment screw. When thermometer
reading approaches 198F slowly turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the burner
goes out. Turning the screw counter-clockwise will increase the temperature.
SAFETY PILOT: Remove pilot adjustment cap on the gas valve and turn adjustment
screw to provide properly sized flame (3/4 inch long). Replace the cap.
BURNER: Burners are factory set for maximum performance. Should further
adjustment be required loosen slotted hex screw on side of venturi and rotate air
shutter until flame with soft blue inner cone is obtained.

BURNER REMOVAL: The burner can be removed with the unit standing in operating
position. Turn off the gas flow to the unit. Allow the burner to cool off. Remove the wing
nut holding the burner to the frame. Pull down the free burner end, enough to clear the
threaded stud and pull the burner horizontally away from the manifold orifice. The
burner can now be cleaned or replaced. To reinstall reverse the above procedure.
BURNER MAINTENANCE: The burner should be cleaned both inside the venturi
portion and on the outside using a soft bristle brush. The burner must be replaced into
the same position as prior to removal. Once a year a qualified service agency should
be contacted to inspect the appliance for safe and proper operation.
