3.1 Installation and Operation
1. Do not operate unit if any control, switch, components
or devices have been underwater or subject to water
damage.
2. Before servicing, allow boiler to cool. Always shut o any
electricity and oil supply to boiler when working on it.
3. Inspect oil line and connections for leaks.
4. Verify oil burner nozzle is proper size. Over-ring could
result in early failure of boiler sections, and result in a
potentially dangerous situation.
5. Never vent boiler into enclosed space. Always vent to
the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a
building.
6. Verify adequate air supply for complete combustion.
7. Relief valve automatically lifts open when system
pressure exceeds 30 psi. Before installing relief valve
read manufacturer’s instructions. Pipe relief valve to a
safe location. Check with authorities having jurisdiction.
8. Consider system total water volume, temperature,
initial ll pressure and arrangement when sizing and
installing expansion tank. Improperly installed and
sized expansion tank may result in frequent lifting of
relief valve or other heating system problems. Follow
expansion tank manufacturer guidelines for installation,
and sizing.
9. Boiler manufacturer recommends initial ll pressure of
10-12 psi. For higher ll pressures increase expansion
tank’s air charge to match ll pressure.
10. Purging heating system of air and gases is critical for
proper circulation and quiet performance. Once the air
is purged, for boiler installations using oat type vents,
air vents should be closed for normal operation. If air
is heard or noticed by loss of heat, purge system and
open vents for short period of time.
3.2 Prior To Installing The Boiler
• Verify you have selected right size boiler with proper
capacity. AHRI rating of boiler selected should be greater
than or equal to calculated peak heating load (heat loss)
for building or area(s) served by boiler and associated
hot water heating systems. Use heat loss calculations
based on approved methods. See Table 1.
• Boiler must be supplied with proper oil supply and oil
piping, sucient fresh combustion air, and suitable
electrical supply.
• Connect boiler to suitable venting and piping systems
adequate to distribute heating load.
• Installation is not complete unless pressure relief valve
is installed in 3/4” tapping located in supply piping.
• Thermostat must be properly located and installed
• Failure to pipe boiler correctly may result in excessive
noise or other related problems.
Existing Water System Evaluation
A good system will prevent oxygen contamination of boiler
water.
1. Causes of oxygen contamination may be:
A. Addition of excessive make up water as a result of
leaks.
B. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
C. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
2. To insure long product life, oxygen sources must be
eliminated.
Take the following measures:
A. Repair system leaks.
B. Eliminate open tanks from the system.
C. Eliminate and/or repair ttings which allow oxygen
absorption.
D. Use non-permeable materials in the heating system.

breech, and # 1 smoke or less. Testing is done in accordance with U.S. DOE (Department of Energy) test procedure.
Heating Capacity indicates amount of heat available after subtracting losses up the stack. Remaining heat is available
to heat water. Small portion is heat from jacket and surfaces of boiler and this heat stays in structure. Net AHRI rating
represents portion of remaining heat applied to heat radiation or terminal units (i.e. nned tube baseboard, cast iron
radiators, radiant oor, etc.). Dierence between Heating Capacity and Net AHRI Rating, called piping and pickup
allowance, establishes reserve for heating volume of water in system and osetting heat losses from system piping. Net
AHRI ratings shown are based on piping and pickup factor of 15% in accordance with AHRI Standard as published by
Hydronics Institute.
Net AHRI rating of boiler selected should be greater than or equal to calculated peak heating load (heat loss) for building
or area(s) served by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. Consult manufacturer before selecting boiler for
installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.

1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms
communicating directly with the space in which
appliances are installed, through openings not furnished
with doors, are considered a part of the space.
Volume (ft3) = Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) x Height (ft.)
2. Determine total input of all appliances in the space.
Add inputs of all appliances in the space and round the
result to the nearest 1000 BTU/hr.
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by total input
of all appliances in space. If the result is greater than
or equal to 50 ft3/1000 BTU/hr, then it is considered
an unconned space. If the result is less than 50
ft3/1000 BTU/hr, then the space is considered a
conned space.
4. When a boiler is located in an unconned space of a
conventionally constructed building, fresh air inltration
through cracks around windows and doors normally
provides adequate air for combustion and ventilation.
5. Provide outdoor air for boiler located in a conned
space or an unconned space in a building of unusually
tight construction. Outdoor air may be provided with
the use of two permanent openings which communicate
directly or by duct with the outdoors or spaces
(ventilated crawl or attic) freely communicating with
the outdoors. Locate one opening within 12 inches
of top of space. Locate remaining opening within 12
inches of bottom of space. Size each opening per the
following:
A. Direct communication with outdoors:
Minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU
per hour input of all equipment in space.
B. Vertical Ducts: Minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment
in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same
as opening free area.
C. Horizontal Ducts: Minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 2,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment
in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same
as opening free area.
Alternate method for boiler located within
conned space: Use indoor air if two permanent
openings communicate directly with additional space(s)
of sucient volume such that the combined volume of
all spaces meet criteria for unconned space. Size each
opening for minimum free area of 1 square inch per
1,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in spaces,
but not less than 100 square inches.
6. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts
A. All outside openings should be screened and
louvered. Screens used should not be smaller than
1/4 inch mesh. Louvers will prevent the entrance of
rain and snow.
B. Free area requirements need to consider the
blocking eect of louvers, grilles or screens
protecting the openings. If the free area of the
louver or grille is not known, assume wood louvers
have 20-25% free area and metal louvers and grilles
have 60-75% free area.
C. Louvers and grilles must be xed in the open
position, or interlocked with the equipment to open
automatically during equipment operation.

Eciency of boiler is based on insertion of ue way baes
in 4, 5 and 6 section units. Baes will generate lower
gross stack temperatures entering chimney. This has the
potential under certain operating conditions to cool ue
gases below dew point, creating condensation on interior
chimney and chimney connector surfaces. Remove baes
to increase stack temperature if there are any signs of
condensation in chimney or chimney connector. Removing
baes alone may not address condensation depending on
other boiler and heating system operating conditions.

NOTICE
When securing burner swing door, make sure door is
drawn-in equally on both sides.
Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could
cause thread damage to casting or a leak in the
door seal. If hinged side is tightened before the
unhinged side, the hinged side of door cannot
be drawn to provide an air-tight seal. Applying
excessive torque will only cause thread damage.
B. Use hand wrench to tighten door hardware and start
with non-hinged side. Use alternating tightening
method from non-hinged side to hinged side to
tighten door equally until sealed without applying
excessive torque. Never tighten hinged side ange
bolt rst or tighten either piece of hardware 100%
without using alternating tightening method described
above.

9.1 Connect System Supply And Return Piping
To Boiler
Connect system supply and return piping to correct boiler
ttings.
Size system circulator to supply sucient ow (GPM) to
allow 20°F temperature dierential in system. Connect
circulator harness to circulator per Figure 14 and furnished
wiring diagram.
When sizing system circulator, use single most restrictive
zone to determine maximum pressure drop.
1. Boiler used in connection with refrigeration systems,
install boiler so chilled medium is piped in parallel with
heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent
chilled medium from entering boiler. See Figure 28 .
2. If boiler is connected to heating coils located in air
handling units exposed to refrigerated air, equip boiler
piping with ow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during operation of cooling
system.
3. Limit control includes low water cuto function, sensing
water level at control well in top of the rear boiler
section. Periodic inspection and testing is necessary
per instructions provided with limit control.
4. When installation of boiler is for new heating system,
install all radiation units (panels, radiators, baseboard,
or tubing) and supply and return mains. After heating
system piping and components have been installed,
make nal connection of system piping to boiler.
Recommend mount circulating pump on supply side
piping, such that it pumps away from expansion tank.
5. Hot water boiler installed above radiation level must
be equipped with low water cut o device. This boiler
is factory equipped with low water cuto. Periodic
inspection is necessary, per manufacturer’s specic
instructions.
6. When connecting cold water supply to pressure
reducing valve, make sure clean water supply is
available. When water supply is from well or pump,
install sand strainer at pump.
9.2 Bypass Piping
See Piping Diagrams for illustrations for this section.
Bypass piping may be required for applications listed
below. Failure to do so may cause damage due to thermal
shock and sustained condensation within the boiler.
Protect boiler from sustained operation of return water
temperatures lower than 130°F (54C). Occasionally,
temperatures as low as 70°F (21C) may return back to
boiler when a zone that has not been activated for some
time is opened. However, most residential systems with
nned-tube (aluminum-copper) baseboard radiation
contain low volume of water and will not adversely aect
boiler. Systems with nned-tube baseboard radiation
typically do not require bypass.
Bypass piping details shown in piping diagrams must be
used for any one of following conditions:
• All large water content systems, including cast iron
standing radiators, cast iron baseboard, converted
two-pipe steam systems, converted gravity circulation
systems and other similar systems.
• Any system, including nned-tube baseboard, with
priority domestic hot water zone.
Install ¾ inch bypass line as shown in piping diagrams for
systems identied above.
Bypass valve cannot protect boiler from sustained
condensing operation for low temperature applications such
as radiant oor heating. These types of system require
active controls that prevent return of cold return water to
boiler.
Refer to Radiant Professional’s Alliance (RPA)
www.radiantprofessionalsalliance.org for piping
recommendations for non-condensing boiler applications.
