Circulators in following illustrations are mounted on system supply side, mounting on system return side is also accept-
able practice.
1. Boiler used in connection with refrigeration system,
install so chilled medium is piped in parallel with boiler
with appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from
entering boiler. See Figure 2.
2. Boiler piping system of hot water boiler connected to
heating coils located in air handling units where they
may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be
equipped with flow control valves or other automatic
means to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water
during cooling cycle.
3. Hot water boilers installed above radiation level or
as required by authority having jurisdiction must be
provided with low water cut-off device.
4. Boiler connected to heating system utilizing multiple
zoned circulators, each circulator must be supplied with
flow control valve to prevent gravity circulation.
5. Hot water boilers and system must be filled with water
and maintained to minimum pressure of 12 psi.
6. Bypass piping is optional which gives ability to
adjust supply boiler water temperature to fit system
or condition of installation. This method of piping,
however, is not typically required for baseboard heating
systems. Typical installations where bypass piping is
used are as follows:
A. This method is used to protect boilers from
condensation forming due to low temperature
return water. Generally noticed in large converted
gravity systems or other large water volume
systems. Figures 4 and 5.
B. These methods are used to protect systems using
radiant panels and material they are encased in
from high temperature supply water from boiler
and protect boiler from condensation.
NOTE#1: When using bypass piping, adjust
valves V1 & V2 until desired system temperature
is obtained. See Figure 5, page 9.
NOTE#2: Bypass loop must be same size piping
as supply and return piping.

When an existing boiler is removed from a common
venting system, the system is likely to be too large for the
proper venting of the appliances sill connected to it. If
this situation occurs, the following test procedure must be
followed:
1. Vent pipe must slope upward from the boiler not
less then ¼ inch for every 1 foot (21mm/m) to vent
terminal.
2. Horizontal portions of venting system shall be
supported rigidly every 5 feet and at the elbows. No
portion of vent pipe should have any dips or sags.
3. Boiler series is classified as a Category I. Vent
installation shall be in accordance with "Venting of
Equipment," of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or "Venting Systems and Air Supply
for Appliances," of the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1, or applicable
provisions of the local building codes.
4. Inspect chimney. Verify chimney is constructed
according to NFPA 211. Vent or vent connector shall
be Type B or metal pipe having resistance to heat and
corrosion not less than that of galvanized sheet steel or
aluminum not less than 0.016 inch thick (No. 28 Ga).
5. Connect flue pipe from draft hood to chimney. Bolt or
screw joints together to avoid sags. Flue pipe should
not extend beyond inside wall of chimney. Do not
install manual damper in flue pipe or reduce size of
flue outlet except as provided by the latest revision of
ANSI Z223.13 or CAN/CSA B149.1. Protect combustible
ceiling and walls near flue pipe with fireproof insulation.
Where two or more appliances vent into a common
flue, the area of the common flue must be at least
equal to the area of the largest flue plus 50 percent of
the area of each additional flue.
5 - VENT INSTALLATION
6 - VENT SYSTEM MODIFICATION
REMOVAL OF BOILER FROM VENTING SYSTEM
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 an unused opening in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies
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 other appliance not
connected to the common venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom
exhausts, so they operate at maximum speed. Do
not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace
dampers.
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
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of
a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or
pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to a common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gas burning appliances 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 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
Boiler and venting installations shall be performed
by a qualified expert and in accordance with the
appropriate manual. Installing or venting boiler
or other gas appliance with improper methods or
materials may result in serious injury or death due
to fire or to asphyxiation from poisonous gases such
as carbon monoxide with is odorless and invisible.
!
WARNING
Do not connect boiler to any portion of mechanical
draft system operating under positive pressure.

dampen excessive vibrations and prevent strain on gas
connection. Boiler will not support piping weight.
• Use thread (joint) compound (pipe dope) suitable for
liquefied petroleum gas.
• Install field sourced manual main shutoff valve, ground
joint union, and sediment trap upstream of gas valve.

Leak Check Gas Piping
Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing
boiler in operation.
• Pressure test over 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Disconnect
boiler and its individual gas shutoff valve from gas
supply system.
• Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less. Isolate
boiler from gas supply system by closing manual gas
shutoff valve.
• Locate leakage using gas detector, noncorrosive
detection fluid, or other leak detection method
acceptable to authority having jurisdiction. Do not
use matches, candles, open flames, or other methods
providing ignition source.
• Correct leaks immediately and retest.
