FIGURE 4-1 Clearance to Combustible Materials
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, optional oor stand available.
• Determine alternate User Interface mounting location
if desired. See page 83 - Optional User Interface
Relocation.
• 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.

CAUTION
Boiler weight exceeds 75 pounds (34 kg). Do not
lift boiler onto wall without assistance.
!
NOTICE
Lift boiler using chassis. Using front jacket, vent
piping, water or gas ttings to lift boiler may cause
damage to the boiler.
4 - LOCATING BOILER
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 cuto. 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 15
and 16.

5.1 General
• Install piping in accordance with authority having jurisdiction.
NOTICE
Use two (2) wrenches when tightening boiler's
tting and pipes. 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.
• 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 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
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 satisfactory for 60 psig
operation. Field source temperature pressure gauge
for system pressures greater than 60 psig.
• Install safety relief valve. See gure 5-1
• Install safety relief valve with spindle in vertical position.
• Do not install shuto valve between boiler and safety
relief valve.
• 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.
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 propylene 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 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on uid
used.
!
NOTICE
Do not expose boiler and condensate piping to
freezing temperatures.

• 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).
• Arrange piping to prevent water dripping onto boiler.
5.4 Trim Piping
• Temperature - Pressure Gauge. Install temperature
pressure gauge using adapter, tee and bushing provided
with boiler. See gure 5-3.
• Protect chassis grommets from heat damage while
soldering.
• Drain Valve. Install drain valve using, tee and adapter
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 gures5-5, 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 gures 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.
• Low Water Cuto (LWCO) probe location. See gures
5-4A for minimum probe height. Do not install shuto
valve between boiler and LWCO probe.
• If boiler is below radiation level, use gure 5-4A.
Boilers above radiation level use gures 5.4B thru
5.4D.
• If using separate stand pipe, install air vent using
tee to avoid nuissance shutdowns.
• See gures 5-4B, 5-4C and 5-4D for suggested
probe location alternatives.
• Arrange piping to prevent water dripping onto boiler.
