INTRODUCTION
Introduction
• This appliance is a gas-red direct vent hot water boiler
with cast aluminum boiler sections.
• The heating system water absorbs large amounts of
heat from the cast aluminum heat exchanger, cooling
ue gases and causing condensation.
• Sealed combustion, premix gas burner, and low ame
temperature means reduced CO and NOx emissions,
which contribute to cleaner and healthier environment.
• This appliance takes its combustion air directly from
outdoors (sealed combustion) and does not compete
with building occupants for fresh air.
• Sealed combustion (also known as “direct vent”)
is safest and best way to obtain plenty of clean
combustion air.

BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES
++ AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efciency) and Heating Capacity is based on the D.O.E. (Department of Energy) test
procedure.
Heating Capacity indicates the amount of heat available after subtracting losses up the stack. Most of this heat is available
to heat water. A small portion is heat from jacket and surfaces of the boiler, and it is assumed that this heat stays in the
structure.
Net AHRI rating represents portion of remaining heat that can be applied to heat radiation or terminal units (i.e. nned
tube baseboard, cast iron radiators, radiant oor, etc.). The difference between Heating Capacity and Net AHRI Rating,
called piping and pickup allowance, establishes reserve for heating volume of water in system and offsetting heat losses
from piping.
Net AHRI ratings shown are based on piping and pickup factor of 1.15 in accordance with AHRI Standard as published
by Hydronics Institute. Net AHRI rating of boiler selected should be greater than or equal to the calculated peak heating
load (heat loss) for building or area(s) served by boiler and associated hot water heating systems. Consult manufacturer
before selecting a boiler for installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.
Boilers for use at high altitude
Canada - Boilers are factory equipped for operation at altitudes ranging from 0-4,500 feet above sea level. Contact
Provincial authority having jurisdiction for installations above 4,500 feet (1,350m) above sea level.
United States - See “Boilers For Use At High Altitude” on page 6.

Boiler Sizing
Check to be sure you have selected boiler with proper
capacity before starting installation. 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. See
Table 1, Page 5.
Heat loss calculations should be based on approved
industry methods.
Boiler Location Considerations
Before selecting boiler location consider following.
• Supplied with correct type of gas (natural gas or
propane).
• Connected to suitable combustion air intake piping
system to supply correct amounts of fresh (outdoor)
air for combustion, refer to “Combustion Air and Vent
Pipe” on page 22 for details.
• Connected to suitable venting system to remove
hazardous products of gas combustion, refer to
“Combustion Air and Vent Pipe” on page 22 for details.
• Connected to suitable hot water heating system.
• Supplied with suitable electrical supply for all boiler
motors and controls.
• Connected to properly located thermostat or operating
control. Not included with boiler.
• Placed on level surface.
• Condensate drain line must be pitched down to oor
drain or external condensate pump with reservoir at ¼”
per foot (wood frame or blocks may be used to raise
boiler).
1. Boiler is equipped for residential installations. If used
for commercial applications, any additional code
requirements must be adhered to for installation.
This may require additional controls including but not
limited to an additional low water cut off, a manual
reset high temperature limit, and wiring and/or piping
modications.
2. Before servicing boiler - allow boiler to cool. Shut off
electricity and gas supply connected to boiler prior to
servicing.
3. Inspect gas line for leaks.
4. Verify gas input rate is correct. Over ring may result
in early failure of boiler sections. This may cause
dangerous operation. Under ring may result in too
much air for pre-mix burner causing poor or loss of
combustion.
5. Never vent products of combustion from this boiler to
enclosed space. Always vent to outdoors. Never vent to
another room or to inside building.
6. Be sure there is adequate outdoor air supply to boiler
for complete combustion.
7. Follow regular service and maintenance schedule for
efcient and safe operation.
8. Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of combustible
and ammable materials.
9. Proper through wall or through roof combustion venting
shall be in accordance with materials and methods
described in this manual. Installation must comply with
local codes.
10. Boiler and related hot water heating systems are not do
it yourself items they must be installed and serviced by
qualied professionals.

Locating The Boiler
1. Place crated boiler as close to selected location as
possible and un-crate boiler. Boiler may be moved into
position with appliance dolly or 2 wheel hand truck.
Insert dolly or hand truck under left hand side of
boiler. It is possible to slide boiler for short distance on
smooth oor or surface.
2. Select level location central to piping systems served
and as close to vent and air intake terminals as
possible.
3. Accessibility clearances, if more stringent (i.e. larger
clearances) than required re protection clearances,
must be used for boiler installation. Accessibility
clearances may be achieved with the use of removable
walls or partitions.
4. Boiler is approved for installation in closets and on
combustible oors. This boiler shall NOT be installed on
carpeting.
5. Clearances shown in Table 4 indicate required
clearances. Maintain minimum 1” clearance between
combustible construction and each of left, top and
back surfaces of the boiler. Minimum 11” clearance is
required on right side, to allow room for induced draft
blower. Allow 24” at front and 8” at top for servicing.
No clearances are required to venting or combustion air
intake piping.
6. Install equipment in location which facilitates operation
of venting and combustion air intake piping systems
as described in this manual. Draft inducer (blower)
may be rotated 90° or 180° to orient vent connections
towards right side or rear. Remove blower mounting
screws. Orient blower and install mounting screws. Do
not overtighten screws.
7. Advise owner to keep venting and combustion air
intake passages free of obstructions. Both venting
and combustion air intake piping systems connected
to outdoors must permit ow through piping systems
without restrictions for boiler operation.
8. Install boiler such that the automatic gas ignition
system components are protected from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation and
service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,
control replacement, etc.).
9. Keep boiler area clean of debris and free of ammable
and combustible materials, vapors and liquids.
10. Locate boiler where minimum possible room
temperature where boiler is installed, assuming boiler
is not in operation and therefore contributes no heat
to space, is always at or above 32°F (0°C) to prevent
freezing of liquid condensate.
Combustion Air And Vent Pipe Requirements
This boiler requires a dedicated direct vent system. In a
direct vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly
from outside atmosphere, and all ue products are
discharged to outside atmosphere.
Terminate combustion air and vent pipe connections in
same atmospheric pressure zone, through roof or sidewall
(roof termination preferred). See Figure 12 thru Figure 14,
pages 24 and 25 for required clearances.
WARNING
Solvent cements are combustible. Keep away
from heat, sparks, and open ame. Use only in
well ventilated areas. Avoid breathing in vapor or
allowing contact with skin or eyes. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in re, serious injury,
or death.
!
• Combustion air must be clean outdoor air. Combustion
air must not be taken from inside structure because
that air frequently is contaminated by halogens, which
include uorides, chlorides, phosphates, bromides
and iodides. These elements are found in aerosols,
detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, paints, adhesives and other household
products.
• Locate combustion air inlet as far away as possible
from swimming pool and swimming pool pump house.
• All combustion air and vent pipes must be airtight and
watertight. Combustion air and vent piping must also
terminate as shown in “Combustion Air and Vent
Pipe” section.
• Vent connections serving appliances vented by
natural draft shall not be connected into any portion
of mechanical draft systems operating under positive
pressure.

Condensate Drain Requirements
• Pitch condensate drain line down to oor drain at
minimum of ¼” per foot. External condensate pump
(not furnished) may be used if oor drain is not
available. Installation shall conform to requirements
of authority having jurisdiction, check local codes for
requirements.
• Condensate pump must be designed for ue gas
condensate application.
• Condensate trap provided with boiler, an additional trap
is not required and should not be used.
• Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler
to maintain drain pitch or to be above external
condensate pump reservoir.
Foundation Requirements
• Install boiler on level surface.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Shall not install boiler on carpeting.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
!
• Boiler is NOT to be installed on carpeting.
• If boiler is not level condensate drain lines will not
function properly. Adjustable feet are located on the
boiler to make up for minor surface irregularities or tilt.
• Wood frame or blocks may be used to raise boiler
to maintain drain pitch or to be above external
condensate pump reservoir.
Removal of Existing Boiler From Common Vent
System
When an existing boiler is removed from a common
venting system, the common venting system is likely to be
too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining
connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler,
the following steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the 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
restrictions, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
BOILER INSTALLATION
3. In-so-far 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 dryer and any appliance not connected
to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhaust, so
they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan. Close re dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so
appliances will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5
minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a
match or candle, or the 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
doors, windows, exhaust fans, re place dampers,
and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous
condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system
should be corrected so the installation conforms with
the National Fuel Code, NFPA-54/ANSI -Z223.1 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 as
determined using the appropriate of the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA-54/ANSI- Z223.1 and/or the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.
P/N 240010135 Rev. D [04/15/2017]

11
Near Boiler Piping
• When boiler installation is for new heating system,
install all of radiation units (panels, radiators,
baseboard, or tubing) and supply and return mains.
• After all heating system piping and components
have been installed, make nal connection of system
piping to boiler. Hot water boiler installed above
radiation level, or as required by the Authority having
jurisdiction, must be equipped with low water cut off
device.
• Periodic inspection is necessary for ushing of oat
type devices, per low water cut off manufacturers
specic instructions.
Clean System First
Before connecting boiler to heating system, clean and ush
system thoroughly. Verify system is free of sediment, ux
and any residual boiler water additives.
Systems having antifreeze not recommended must be
completely ushed to insure no old antifreeze remains.
In older systems obviously discolored, murky or dirty
water; or pH reading outside acceptable range (between
7.0 and 8.0) are indications the system should be cleaned
or treated. Thoroughly ush system with clean water to
remove any sediment or contaminants. Sludge and iron
oxide deposits can cause rapid breakdown of inhibitors.
Flushing with clean water. If chemical cleaners are used,
use only those recommended for use with aluminum
boilers. Follow chemical cleaner manufacturer’s instructions
completely. DO NOT mix different manufacturer’s
products.
NEAR BOILER PIPING
Supply And Return Lines
• Boiler is set up to receive 1¼” NPT supply and return
piping from top access.
• Boiler may be piped from left side by turning supply
elbow.
• Install furnished dielectric unions at boiler supply and
return lines prior to making system piping connections
• Do not install copper supply and return piping directly
into aluminum boiler section casings due to galvanic
corrosion between dissimilar metals.
• Must use provided dielectric unions between copper
system piping and boiler to make nal connection to
boiler.
• Circulator pump can be installed at installer preferred
location.

Multi-Zone Systems
Multi-zone systems with two zones are typically piped as
shown in Figures 3 or 4. Multi-zone systems with more than
two zones are likely to have small zones with very low heat
and ow requirements compared to full heating capacity of
the boiler. This can result in very low ow in the boiler if
only one small zone is calling for heat.
Primary Secondary Piping is recommended for multi-zone
systems with more than two zones to insure proper water
ow through the boiler at all times. See Figures 5, 6 and 7
for typical primary secondary piping congurations.
