WARNING
• This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. DO NOT unscrew any pipe fittings nor attempt to
disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no pressure.
Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this boiler to prevent
scald injuries. DO NOT rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the temperature and
pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when the boiler is operating.
DO NOT touch any components unless they are cool.
• This boiler must be properly vented. The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney or vent system
in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate
chimney or vent system. The chimney must be inspected for any obstructions and cleaned prior to each
heating season. A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to produce the minimum draft required
to safely evacuate noxious fumes that could cause personal injury or loss of life. DO NOT operate boiler with
the absence of an approved vent system. Evidence of loose debris and or condensate induced stains at
the base of the chimney flue, connector or smokepipe joints may be signs of condensing flue gases. Flue
gas condensate is corrosive, which requires special consideration and must be addressed immediately.
Refer to "Natural Draft Venting (Chimney)" listed in Table of Contents below.
• This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
• This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without service.
If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold
weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent
damage if the boiler is inoperative.
• This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. DO NOT use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil
containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. DO NOT convert to any solid fuel (i.e.
wood, coal). DO NOT convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All flammable debris, rags, paper,
wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of fire
hazards.
• All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which, if ignored, can cause severe
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door turn off service switch to boiler
to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door
fasteners completely when service is completed.

NOTICE: Clearance to venting is for single wall
vent pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may
be reduced to the minimum required by the vent
pipe manufacturer.
C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and
should be referenced.
WARNING
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided to assure proper combustion and
to maintain safe ambient air temperatures.
Do not install boiler where gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of
hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, fabric softeners,
etc.) are used or stored.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room).
Rooms communicating directly with the
space in which the 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 per
hour.
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 per hour, then it is considered an
unconfined space. If the result is less than
50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the space is
considered a confined space.
4. For boiler located in an unconfined space of a
conventionally constructed building, the fresh
air infiltration through cracks around windows
and doors normally provides adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
5. For boiler located in a confined space or an
unconfined space in a building of unusually
tight construction, provide outdoor air.
Outdoor air may be provided with the use of
two permanent openings which communicate
directly or by duct with the outdoors or spaces
(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. Minimum
dimension of air opening is 3 inches. Size
each opening per 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.
Figure 2B: Direct Vent - Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)
NOTES: 1. Listed clearances comply with American National
Standard ANSI/NFPA 31,Standard for the Installation of
Oil Burning Equipment.
2. CI-HGS-E boilers can be installed in rooms with
clearances from combustible material as listed
above. Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or
closet installations.
3. For reduced clearances to combustible material,
protection must be provided as described in the above

c. Horizontal ducts.Minimum free area of 1
square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour input of
all equipment in space. Duct cross-section-
al area shall be same as opening free area.
Alternate method for boiler located within
confined space. Use indoor air if two
permanent openings communicate directly
with additional space(s) of sufficient volume
such that combined volume of all spaces
meet criteria for unconfined 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 effect 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 percent free area
and metal louvers and grilles have 60-75
percent free area.
c. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the
open position, or interlocked with the
equipment to open automatically during
equipment operation.

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING WATER
SYSTEM.
Design a piping system and install boiler which
will prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water
and frequent water additions.
1. There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a
result of system leaks.
b. Absorption through open tanks and fittings.
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the
distribution system.
2. In order to insure long product life, oxygen
sources must be eliminated. This can
be accomplished by taking the following
measures:
a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the
need for addition of make-up water.
b. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
c. Eliminating and/or repairing fittings which
allow oxygen absorption.
d. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
WARNING
System supply and return piping must be
connected to correct boiler manifolds.
New Yorker Boiler Co. recommends sizing the
system circulator to supply sufficient flow (GPM)
to allow a 20°F temperature differential in the
system. When sizing the system circulator, the
most restrictive single zone should be used to
determine maximum pressure drop.
CAUTION
Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot
water piping to combustible materials.
3. In order to insure long product life, operate boiler
at appropriate flow rate to minimize areas of
overheating.
a. Design system to ensure that the flow is above
the limit called for in Table 5.
b. Maintain a constant boiler pressure of 12 PSI.
WARNING
Do not operate boiler below minimum volumetric
flow rates.
B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN
PIPING TO BOILER. See Figures 11A and
11B. Also, consult Residential Hydronic Heating
Installation and Design I=B=R Guide.
1. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration
systems, the boiler must be installed so that
the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the
heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent
the chilled medium from entering the boiler. See
Figure 11C. Also, consult Residential Hydronic
Heating Installation and Design I=B=R Guide.
2. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located
in air handling units where they may be exposed
to refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be
equipped with flow control valves to prevent
gravity circulation of boiler water during the
operation of the cooling system.
3. If an indirect water heater is used, priority zoning
can be used. Do not use priority zoning for Hydro-
Air Systems. Refer to the Indirect Water Heater
Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions
for additional information.
4. The CI-HGS-E is designed to withstand thermal
shock from return water temperatures as low as
100°F, but prolonged return temperatures of below
135°F can cause excessive flue gas condensation
and damage the boiler and/or venting system.
Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated
in a system which has a large volume or excessive
radiation where low boiler water temperatures
may be encountered (i.e. converted gravity
circulation system, etc.) The bypass should be
the same size as the supply and return lines with
valves located in the bypass and return line as
illustrated in Figures 11A and 11B in order to
regulate water flow for maintenance of higher
boiler water temperature.
