4.2) Minimum clearances
The following clearances from combustible materials
must be respected.
Top : N/A
First side : 24"
Rear : 9"
Flue-pipe : 9"
Front : N/A
Other side : 9”
Floor: Non Combustible
5) COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
The space where the unit is located must provide
sufficient fresh air for proper combustion. Consult the
appropriate sections of the CAN/CGA B149 code for
more details. When the unit is located in an enclosed
area, such as a boiler room, where outside air cannot
be supplied, two fresh air openings must be provided.
One must be located 6" to 18" from the floor, the other
as close as possible to the ceiling. Consult the
CAN/CGAB149 codes.
WARNING
The unit must be completely isolated from
corrosive chemical vapours and excessively
moist air. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS
CONDITION MAY RENDER YOUR
WARRANTY NULL AND VOID. When a
mechanical air supply device is used, the
installer must make certain that no air
movement is created around the unit.
Furthermore, this mechanical device (fan,
damper, etc.) must be electrically connected to
the unit to lockout the latter in case of
breakdown.
6) GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with
CAN/CGA B149 and local regulations. Table 1 gives
the minimum pipe diameters for each model. Please
note that the low pressure gas piping must never be
smaller in diameter than the gas valve inlet. A manual
cut-off valve must be installed as close as possible to
the appliance
7) ELECTRICAL WIRING
All wiring must comply with regulations by local
authorities and the “Canadian Electrical Code - CSA
C22.1/ Part I”
The unit must be connected to a protected circuit of 15
Amps. with a single phase voltage of 120 VAC to 60 Hz.
The installer must wire the unit according to the
appropriate electrical diagram.
Consult the following figures for the appropriate
electrical diagrams.
Figure 3.1 : Constantly burning pilot with 2-stage
gas valve;
Figure 3.2 : Electronic ignition with 2-stage gas
valve.
Please note that HGC boilers and water heaters require
water circulation whenever the burners are on.
CAUTION
FAILURE TO CIRCULATE WATER THROUGH THE
EXCHANGER WHEN THE BURNERS ARE
OPERATING VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
The unit is equipped with a 120/24 VAC step down
transformer for all internal needs. All 24 VAC
connections are factory wired. A supplementary 120/24
VAC step down transformer shall be planned for if
external equipment requires 24 VAC voltage (i.e. zone
valves, etc.).
On all units the external terminals “1” and “2” are for the
connection of a room thermostat or an operating control
(aquastat, indoor-outdoor control, etc.). Simply putting a
jumper on “1” and “2” and having the appliance run on
its High Limit Control is inefficient and not
recommended.
WARNING
If any of the original wires, as supplied with the
appliance, must be replaced, they must be
replaced with 16 gauge TEW (105ºC) wire or
its equivalent.
