4.1 Boiler Location Considerations
• Ambient room temperature always above 32°F (0°C) to
prevent freezing of liquid condensate.
• Approved for installation in closets.
• Protect gas ignition system components from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and
service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control
replacement, etc.).
• Wall mount only.
• Access to outdoors to meet minimum and maximum
pipe lengths for combustion air and vent piping. See
section 6.
• Disposal of condensate. See section 6.
• Drainage of water (or water - antifreeze solution) during
boiler service or from safety relief valve discharge. See
section 5.
• Access to system water piping, gas supply, and electrical
service. See sections 5, 7 and 8.
• Clearances to combustible materials and service
clearances. See Table 2 and gure 4-1.
• Multiple Boilers can be wall mounted, placed side by
side, or back to back.
4 - LOCATING BOILER

12
4.2 Pre-pipe supply and return water connections
with factory ttings before wall mounting.
4.3 Wall Mounting
Mount boiler on wall using wall mounting bracket included
with unit.
• Structure must be capable of supporting boiler weight
plus 60 lbs (28 kg). See Table 1, page 2.
• Wall mount bracket has 4 slots allowing mounting on
two (2) wall studs spaced at 11½" to 16½" on center.
See gure 4-2.
• Boiler includes (4) 3/8" x 3" lag screws and (4) washers
for attaching wall mount bracket to wood studs. Field
source appropriate fasteners for other wall constructions
(masonry, concrete).
• Attach wall mount bracket level on wall.
• Boiler must engage with wall mount bracket.
• Avoid overhang on sides of wall mount bracket. Verify
boiler bracket is centered on wall bracket. See gure
4-2.
WARNING
Fire, explosion hazard. Mount boiler vertically or
slightly tilted backward to insure proper function of
low water cutoff. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
• When mounting boiler onto wall insert two plastic
stoppers and two plastic plugs to packaging holes on
back of boiler. See parts listed on page 2, number 17
and 18.
• Mount boiler vertically or slightly tilted backward to
insure the low water cutoff functions properly. See
gure 4-3 for low water cutoff orientation.
FIGURE 4-2 Wall Mount Bracket Engaged with
Bracket on Boiler
CAUTION
Boiler weight exceeds 75 pounds (34 kg). Do not
lift boiler onto wall without assistance.
!
4 Slots for attaching
Wall Mount Bracket
to Studs
NOTICE
Lift boiler using chassis. Using front jacket, vent
piping, water or gas ttings to lift boiler may cause
damage to the boiler.
Center brackets. Avoid
overhang on sides of
wall mount bracket.

5.1 General
• Install piping in accordance with authority having jurisdiction.
NOTICE
Use two (2) wrenches when tightening and tting
to pipe boiler's threaded ttings. Boiler's internal
piping can be damaged if subjected to excessive
torque.
• Support system piping and safety relief valve discharge
piping. Boiler's internal piping and wall mount bracket can
be damaged if subjected to excessive weight.
• Size central heating pump (and domestic hot water
pump, if used) for system requirements only. Internal
heat exchanger pump compensates for pressure drop
through boiler internal piping and heat exchanger.
• Thoroughly clean and ush system before connecting to
boiler.
• If oil is present in system water, use approved detergent to
wash system.
• Flush system to remove any solid objects such as metal
chips, bers, or Teon tape, etc.
5.2 Special Conditions
• System piping exposed to freezing conditions: Use
inhibited propylene glycol solutions certied by uid
manufacturer for use with closed water heating system.
Do not use automotive or ethylene glycol.
• Boiler installed above radiation level (or as required by
authority having jurisdiction). Integral low water cutoff
provided in boiler. See pages 9 & 10.
• Boiler used in connection with refrigeration system.
Install piping in parallel with boiler, with appropriate
valves to prevent chilled medium from entering boiler.
• System piping connected to heating coils located in air
handling unit exposed to refrigerated air circulation. Install
ow control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of boiler water during cooling cycle.
5.3 Safety Relief Valve and Air Vent
NOTICE
Boiler rated at 150 psig (1.03 MPa) maximum
allowable working pressure. Boiler provided with
30 psig (206 kPa) safety relief valve. Field source
safety relief valve for system pressures greater
than 25 psig. Temperature Pressure Gauge and Air
Vent satisfactory for 75 psig operation. Field source
temperature pressure gauge for system pressures
greater than 60 psig.
• Install safety relief valve and air vent using pipe ttings
provided with boiler. See gure 5-1
• Install safety relief valve with spindle in vertical position.
• Do not install shutoff valve between boiler and safety
relief valve.
WARNING
• Poison hazard. Ethylene glycol is toxic. Do not
use ethylene glycol.
• Never use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze,
even ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems.
• Ethylene glycol can attack gaskets and seals used
in hydronic systems.
• Use only inhibited proplyene glycol solutions
certied by uid manufacturer as acceptable for
use with closed water heating system.
• Thoroughly clean and ush any system that used
glycol before installing new Boiler.
• Provide user with Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) on uid used.
!
NOTICE
Do not expose boiler and condensate piping to
freezing temperatures.

5 - HYDRONIC PIPING

14
• Install discharge piping from safety relief valve. See
gure 5-2.
• Use ¾" or larger pipe.
• Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F (191°C)
or greater.
• Individual boiler discharge piping shall be independent
of other discharge piping.
• Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid reducing
safety relief valve relieving capacity below minimum
relief valve capacity stated on rating plate.
• Run pipe as short and straight as possible to location
protecting user from scalding and properly drain
piping.
• Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve outlet.
• Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve
outlet and downstream of union (if used).
• Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).
5.4 Trim Piping
• Temperature - Pressure Gauge. Install temperature
pressure gauge using nipple, tee and bushing provided
with boiler. See gure 5-3.
• Drain Valve. Install drain valve using nipple, tee and
bushing provided with boiler. See gure 5-3.
5.5 System Piping
• See Table 3 for basic system piping congurations.
• Systems with automatic ll valves require back ow
prevention device.
• Single boiler system. See gures 5-4, 5-5, 5-6, 5-7A, & B
for general guidance. Additional considerations:
• Boiler control is designed for single central heating
pump. Installer responsible for integration of
multiple central heating pumps.
• Boiler control allows domestic hot water
prioritization. Function could be lost if central
heating pump not directly connected to control
system.
• Multiple boiler system. See gure 5-8A, B & C for general
guidance. Additional considerations:
• Control system requires equivalent water
temperatures entering each boiler to properly
sequence and adjust system supply temperature.
• Install multi boiler sensor kit. See "Parts, Kits &
Optional Accessories" manual for part number.
• Heating system with existing primary loop, close internal
primary loop ball valve.
• Heating system without existing primary loop, leave internal
primary loop ball valve open to use internal primary loop.
