for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded,
Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz
or cristobalite from occupational sources is
carcinogenic to humans (Group1). Avoid breathing
dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use NIOSH
respirator is based on the OSHA requirements
for cristobalite at the time this document was
written. Other types of respirators may be
needed depending on the job site conditions.
Current NIOSH recommendations can be found
on the NIOSH website https://www.cdc.gov/

manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed
clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Apply enough
water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent
dust. Wash potentially contaminated clothes

• Support horizontal portions of vent system to prevent
sagging.
• Use stove pipe wires or metal strapping every 5’ to
support pipe from above.
• Vent pipe through crawl space, use double wall vent
pipe.
• Vent pipe passing through combustible wall or partition,
use ventilated metal thimble. Thimble should be 4"

support pipe from above. Use double wall vent pipe if vent
pipe must go through crawl space. Where vent pipe passes
through combustible wall or partition, use ventilated metal
thimble. Thimble should be 4 inches larger in diameter than
vent pipe.
Removing Existing Boiler From Common Venting
System
When an existing boiler is removed from common venting
system, common venting system is likely to be too large for
proper venting of appliances remaining connected to it.
At time of removal of existing boiler, following steps shall
be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system placed in operation, while other
appliances remaining connected to common venting system
are not in operation.
1.
Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2.
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3.
Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliances remaining connected to the common venting
system are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected
to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so
they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
4.
Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow
the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance
will operate continuously.
5.
Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after
a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or
pipe.
6.
After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
any other gas-burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
7.
Any improper operation of the common venting system
should be corrected so the installation conforms with
the National Fuel gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
and/or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1. When re-sizing any portion of the
common venting system, the common venting system
should be re-sized to approach the minimum size
determined using the appropriate tables in Chapter 13
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
and/or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1.
WARNING
Do not connect boiler to any portion of mechanical
draft system operating under positive pressure.

department.
!!
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
Gas pipe to your boiler must be correct size for length of
run and for total BTU per hour input of all gas utilization
equipment connected to it. See Table 5 for proper size.
Be sure your gas line complies with local codes and gas
company requirements.
CONNECTING THE GAS PIPING See Figure 11.
Gas line enters boiler from right side.
• Use piping materials and joining methods acceptable
to authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such
requirements:
• USA - National Fuel gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
• Canada - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1
• Use pipe joint compound suitable for LP gas on male
threads only.
• Use ground joint unions.
• Install sediment trap upstream of gas controls.
• Use two pipe wrenches when making connection to gas
valve to keep it from turning.
•
• Tighten all joints securely.
• Propane gas connections should only be made by
licensed propane installer.
• Two-stage regulation should be used by propane
installer.
• Propane gas piping should be checked out by propane
installer.
CHECKING GAS PIPING
DANGER
Fire Hazard. Do not use matches, candles, open
Failure to comply will result in death or serious
injury.
!
Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing
boiler in operation
.
• Pressure test over 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Disconnect
supply system.
• Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less. Isolate
boiler from gas supply system by closing manual gas
• Locate leakage using gas detector, noncorrosive
acceptable to authority having jurisdiction. Do not
providing ignition source.
• Correct leaks immediately and retest.

9 - ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electrically bond boiler to ground in accordance with
requirements of authority having jurisdiction. Refer to:
• USA- National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
Run separate 120 volt circuit from separate over current
protective device in electrical service entrance panel. This
Connect 120 volt power supply to control leads L1 (HOT)
and L2.
Run a 14 gauge or heavier copper wire from boiler to
grounded connection in service panel or properly driven
and electrically grounded ground rod.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
1.
Thermostat should be installed on an inside wall about
2.
NEVER install thermostat on outside wall.
3.
4.
Check thermostat operation by raising and lowering
thermostat setting as required to start and stop the
burners.
5.
are packaged with the thermostat (adjusting heating
anticipator, calibration, etc.)
Set heat anticipator at .2 amps. 24 volt thermostat
connects to aquastat terminals T and TV.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF electrical power
supply at service panel before making electrical
connections. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
!
NOTICE
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
VENT DAMPER WIRING
Boiler is equipped with factory wired harness with 4 pin
molex plug, that plugs into 4 pin molex receptacle inside
vent damper operator.
Vent damper must be connected for boiler to operate.
If any of the original wire as supplied with this appliance
must be replaced,
It must be replaced with type 105°C thermoplastic wire or
its equivalent.
