IMPORTANT
In accordance with Section 325 (f) (3) of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act, NTI has provided this boiler with multiple
features designed to save energy by reducing the boiler water
temperature as heating load decreases.
These features include:
• A modulating combustion system that adjusts ring
rate based on heat demand.
• Adjustment of boiler set point based on inferred heat
load as determined by an outdoor sensor. The outdoor
sensor is supplied with this boiler.
• This boiler does not include a standing pilot.
• This boiler is designed and shipped to assure the highest
eciency operation possible. Such high eciency is
achieved by limiting heating circuit water temperature
to 140°F when there is no anticipated heat load, based
upon the outdoor sensor and the Outdoor Reset Curve
(sensor response curve) in the boiler software.
• This feature may be over-ridden as described below in
specic installations:
• The boiler control is equipped with an outdoor sensor
override for use with building management systems
or in cascaded systems (for systems with total input of
300,000 BTU/hr or greater).
See statement below for an important notice on the use of the
override.
IMPORTANT
In accordance with Section 325 (f) (3) of the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act, this boiler is equipped with a feature
that saves energy by reducing the boiler water temperature
as the heating load decreases. This feature is equipped with
an override which is provided primarily to permit the use of
an external energy management system that serves the same
function. THIS OVERRIDE MUST NOT BE USED UNLESS AT
LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS TRUE:
• An external energy management system is installed that
reduces the boiler water temperature as the heating
load decreases.
• This boiler is not used for space heating.
• This boiler is part of a modular or multiple boiler system
having a total input of 300,000 BTU/hr or greater.
ASME CSD-1, Section CW-400 requires the temperature controls of

conform to UL 353,
b) shuto the fuel supply when the system water reaches a preset
operating temperature,
c) have a high temperature limit control that prevents the
water temperature from exceeding the maximum allowable
temperature by causing safety shutdown and lockout.
The temperature controls of this boiler have been accepted by a
nationally recognized testing agency to conform to UL 353; they
work to shuto the fuel supply when the system water temperature
reaches the preset operating temperature; and they cause a safety
shutdown and lockout, requiring a manual reset to start, when the
water temperature reaches 212°F.

IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY,
OR DEATH.
NOTE: Obey all local codes. Obtain all applicable permits before
installing the boiler.
NOTE: Install all system components and piping in such a manner
that does not reduce the performance of any re rated assembly.
A. Operation and Installation Warnings
To avoid serious injury or death, read, understand, and follow all of the
precautions listed here.
Vapors from ammable liquids will explode and cause a re,
resulting in personal injury or death. The boiler has a burner that
can come on at any time and ignite vapors. DO NOT use or store
ammable liquids around the boiler.
Improper venting can cause a build-up of carbon monoxide.
Breathing carbon monoxide can result in brain damage or death.
DO NOT operate the boiler unless it is properly vented to the
outside and has an adequate fresh air supply for safe operation.
Inspect the exterior exhaust gas outlet port and fresh air inlet port
on a regular basis to ensure they are functioning properly.
A concentration of carbon monoxide as small as .04% (400 parts
per million) in the air can be fatal. When making high re or low
re adjustments, CO levels must be monitored using a calibrated
combustion analyzer such that a CO level of no more than 150
ppm is exceeded at any time during operation.
Adjusting the “low re offset” or the “main ow restrictor” in small
increments can result in a signicant increase in CO concentration.
To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT make any adjustments to
the gas valve without monitoring the exhaust gases with a fully
functional and calibrated combustion analyzer.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.

Part 1 - General Safety Information
B. Improper Combustion
WARNING
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS BOILER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN
WATER. Immediately call a qualied service technician. The boiler
MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate
a boiler that has been submerged could create numerous harmful
conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a re and/
or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful
particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged boiler
could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE: Boiler damage due to ood or submersion is considered an
Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
DO NOT alter or modify the appliance or appliance controls.
Altering any NTI boiler with parts not manufactured by NTI WILL
INSTANTLY VOID the boiler warranty and could result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
This appliance is equipped with a three prong plug. It should only be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.
DO NOT remove the ground plug from the plug.
This appliance provides an overheat shutdown limit. In the event the
appliance water temperature exceeds the setpoint of the control
limit, the cutoff will trip and the appliance will shut down. Certain
local codes require additional temperature limits. In addition,
certain types of systems may operate at temperatures below the
minimum setpoint of the limit provided with the appliance. Contact
the manufacturer for additional overheat controls.
Do not use this boiler for anything other than its intended purpose
(as described in this manual). Doing so could result in property
damage and WILL VOID product warranty.
Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilating air.
Adequate air is necessary for safe operation. Failure to keep the
exhaust vent and combustion air intake clear of ice, snow, or other
debris could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or
death.
C. Gas
Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut o, turn o the
manual gas control valve to the boiler.
D. When Servicing the Boiler
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before
performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler and associated equipment
to cool before servicing.
Be sure to disconnect electrical power before opening boiler
cabinet or performing service. Label all wires while performing
service to ensure proper re-wiring of the appliance. Wiring errors
can cause improper or dangerous operation. Failure to do so could
result in electrical shock, improper boiler or system operation,
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Due to the low water content of the boiler, improper sizing of the
boiler with regard to heating system load will result in excessive
cycling and accelerated component failure. DO NOT under or
oversize the boiler to the system. Modular boiler installations
greatly reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing. NTI DOES NOT
warrant failures caused by improperly sized boiler applications.
High heat sources (sources generating heat 100oF / 37oC or
greater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage
plastic components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipe
materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat
sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well
as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances when installing this boiler and related components
near high heat sources.
CAUTION
NOTICE
WARNING
WARNING
E. Boiler System
• Thoroughly ush the system (without the boiler connected)
to remove sediment. The high-eciency heat exchanger can
be damaged by build-up or corrosion due to sediment. The
manufacturer recommends a suction strainer in this type of
system.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be
damaged, possibly resulting in substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”.
Substantial property damage, damage to the boiler, and/or
serious personal injury may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Mineral
buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer, overheats
the stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Addition
of oxygen from make-up water can cause internal corrosion
in system components. Leaks in the boiler or piping must be
repaired at once.
NOTE: DO NOT add cold make up water to the system when the
boiler is hot. Thermal shock can potentially cause cracks in the heat
exchanger. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be
damaged, possibly resulting in substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”.
Substantial property damage, damage to boiler, and/or serious
personal injury may result.
• Always verify proper operation after servicing the boiler.
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference the
model and serial numbers from the boiler rating label.

Part 1 - General Safety Information
F. CH and DHW Loop Water Chemistry Requirements
The water must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals, sand,
dirt, and other contaminates. It is up to the installer to ensure the
water does not contain corrosive chemicals or elements that can
damage the heat exchanger. Potable water is dened as drinkable
water supplied from utility or well water in compliance with EPA
secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part 143.3). If
the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the EPA,
water treatment is recommended and additional, more frequent
maintenance may be required. See Table 1.
If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way,
discontinue use of the appliance and contact an authorized
technician or licensed professional.
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efciency and
cause severe damage to the boiler and associated equipment.
Water quality must be professionally analyzed to determine
whether it is necessary to treat the water. Various solutions are
available to adjust water quality. Adverse water quality will affect
the reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures
above 135oF will accelerate the build-up of lime scale and possibly
shorten boiler service life. Failure of a boiler due to lime scale
build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by
the warranty.

G. Freeze Protection
NEVER use any toxic chemical, including automotive, standard
glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic (non-
potable) systems. These chemicals can attack gaskets and seals in
water systems, are poisonous if consumed, and can cause personal
injury or death.
Consider piping and installation when determining boiler location.
Damages resulting from incorrect installation or from use of
products not approved by the manufacturer ARE NOT covered by
warranty. Failure of the boiler due to freeze related damage IS NOT
covered by product warranty.
NOTE: Loops Serving Indirect Water Heaters (IWHs)
Glycol used in IWH loops should be food grade propylene glycol,
FDA rated as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). If using a glycol /
potable water mix, the water chemistry must meet the requirements
in this manual. The glycol content of the liquid must not exceed 50%,
unless the manufacturer species a dierent ratio. Glycol should be
checked periodically to prevent it from becoming acidic. Please refer
to guidelines provided by the glycol manufacturer regarding glycol
maintenance.
NOTE: Glycol not recognized as GRAS may only be used in closed loop
CH applications.
NOTE: NTI DOES NOTWARRANTTHE BOILER AGAINST FREEZE-RELATED

CAUTION
I. High Elevation Installations
H. Water Temperature Adjustment and Scalding
This boiler can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot
water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers
and automatic clothes washers may require increased water
temperatures. By setting the thermostat on this boiler to obtain the
increased water temperature required by these appliances you may
create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system.This
valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold
and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from
your local plumbing supplier.
Table 3 details the relationship of water temperature and time with
regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the
safest water temperature for your applications.
On FTVN085 / FTVN110 / FTVN150 / FTVN199 Models ONLY
If the boiler is to be used only in Heating Mode (not connected to
an indirect water heater), the electrical connection of the 3-way
valve motor MUST BE DISCONNECTED while the boiler is operating
in central heating mode. This will lock the valve motor in central
heating mode and ensure freeze protection operates properly.
Failure to disconnect the valve may disable boiler freeze protection
and result in property damage.

WARNING
Combustion - At elevations above 2000 ft, the combustion
of the boiler must be checked with a calibrated combustion
analyzer to ensure safe and reliable operation. It is the Installer’s
responsibility to check and adjust the combustion in
accordance with this manual. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
This boiler is designed to operate at its maximum listed capacity in
installations located at 0 - 2000 ft above Sea Level. Since the density
of air decreases as elevation increases, maximum specied capacity
should be de-rated for elevations above 2000 ft (610 m) in accordance
with the table below.

The use of glycol may reduce the usable BTU output of the boiler,
requiring the unit to be “down-red” by limiting the maximum
operating capacity and/or water temperature. For applications
requiring glycol concentrations greater than 30%, such as snow
melt systems, it is recommended to use a brazed plate heat
exchanger to separate the glycol mixture from the boiler water. See

How the Boiler Operates
FTVN condensing technology intelligently delivers hydronic heating
while maximizing eciency. Outlined below are system features and
operation:
Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
The highly ecient stainless steel heat exchanger is designed to
extract all available heat from the supply line before it is exhausted.
Modulating Combustion System
The combustion system modulates the output of the burner during
operation to match system demand and achieve the control set point
while in operation. The set point can change by internal or external
signals to enhance the overall performance of the system.
Control
The integrated control system monitors the system and regulates fan
speed to control boiler output. This allows the boiler to deliver only the
amount of heat energy required and nothing more.
The control can be set to monitor outdoor temperature through an
outdoor sensor to regulate boiler set point. The system can be further
enhanced by installing an indirect water heater to provide domestic
hot water.
The control can regulate the output of multiple boilers through its
cascade system function. The cascade system is capable of connecting
up to eight boilers together in such a way that they function as one
boiler system. This allows for greater turn down ratios and provides
systematic control of the multiple boilers in an installation to minimize
downtime and maximize eciency.
The cascade system works by establishing one boiler as the master and
the other connected boilers as followers. The master boiler requires
a sensor to provide feedback on set point temperature in order to
adjust heating input from the connected boilers. Each cascaded boiler
will have its own pump to provide maximum ow and control heat
exchanger ow rate.
Text Display and Operational Display Icons
The display allows the user to change system parameters and monitor
system outputs.
Gas Valve
Senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to ow only if powered
and combustion air is owing.
Integrated Venturi
Controls air and gas ow into the burner.
Burner
The high grade stainless steel burner uses premixed air and gas to
provide a wide range of ring rates.
Spark Ignition
The burner is ignited by applying high voltage through the system
spark electrode. The spark from the electrode ignites mixed gas o of
the burner.
Supply Water Temperature Sensor
This sensor monitors the boiler outlet water temperature (System
Supply). The control adjusts boiler ring rate so the supply temperature
will match the boiler set point.
Return Water Temperature Sensor
This sensor monitors boiler return water temperature (System Return).
Flue Sensor
Monitors ue temperature and adjusts ring rate.
Temperature and Pressure Gauge
Allows the user to monitor system temperature and pressure.
Electrical eld connections with terminal strips
The electrical cover allows easy access to the clearly marked line
voltage and low voltage terminal strips to facilitate wiring the boiler.
Condensate Collection System
This boiler is a high eciency appliance and will produce condensate.
The condensate collection system has a oat switch which monitors
condensate level and prevents condensate from backing up into
the combustion system. Inside the collection system is a built in trap
which seals the combustion system from the connected drain. This

Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
COLD WEATHER HANDLING - If the boiler has been stored in a very
cold location (BELOW 0oF) before installation, handle with care
until the components come to room temperature. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the boiler.
Carefully consider installation when determining boiler location.
Please read the entire manual before attempting installation.
Failure to properly take factors such as boiler venting, piping,
condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation
could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage
and personal injury.
This boiler is certied for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL
OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure to install the boiler indoors could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to keep the boiler area clear and free of combustible
materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do not introduce toxic chemicals, such as antifreeze or appliance
treatments, into any piping meant for potable water purposes.
Do not connect DHW connections to any heating systems or
components that have been previously used for nonpotable
applications.
Ensure that all piping and components connected to the appliance
are suitable for potable water applications.
A. Locating the Boiler
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating
system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation
location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure
to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury,
or death. Failure of boiler or components due to incorrect operating
conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
This boiler must be installed upright in the vertical position as
described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this boiler in any
other orientation. Doing so will result in improper boiler operation
and property damage, and could result in serious personal injury
or death.
1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
• Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32oF / 0oC and
lower than 104oF / 40oC
• Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by the products,
places, and conditions listed in this manual
• Avoid continuously high levels of humidity
• Never close existing ventilation openings
• Ensure a minimum 1” clearance around hot water and exhaust
vent pipes
• NOTE: To prevent condensing in the fan, it is recommended to
avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 45oF
This boiler has a condensate disposal system that may freeze
if exposed to sustained temperatures below 32oF. Precautions
should be taken to protect the condensate trap and drain lines

2. Check for nearby connections to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
• Condensate drain
3. Check area around boiler. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline, and other ammable liquids.
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such
as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat
exchanger, are directly inuenced by proximity to damp and salty
marine environments. In such areas higher concentration levels of
chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to
degradation of boiler components. In these environments, boilers
must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor
air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed using room air for
combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity, and
hence potential corrosion will be minimized.
Always take future maintenance into consideration when locating
the boiler. If the boiler is located in an installation location with
limited clearances, it may be necessary to remove the boiler
from the space to perform maintenance. Failure to consider
maintenance when determining installation location could result in
property damage.
Failure of the boiler or components due to incorrect operating
conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping
water during operation and service.
5. If the boiler is to replace an existing boiler, check for and correct any
existing system problems, such as:
• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and boiler to freeze and
leak
• Incorrectly sized expansion tank
6. Clean and ush system when reinstalling a boiler.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal
injury or death.
NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be
possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to
make note of the boiler model and serial number.

Part 1 - General Safety InformationPart 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
CAUTION
CAUTION
All boilers eventually leak. Locate the boiler where any leakage from
the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result
in damage to surrounding areas or lower oors of the building. Any
boiler should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak
the resulting ow of water will not cause damage to the area in
which it is installed. If the boiler is installed in a location where
a leak could cause damage, it is required to provide containment
measures. Such measures include but are not limited to: a properly
sized drain pan installed beneath the boiler and piped to an open
drain line, or installing the boiler on a concrete oor pitched to a
free owing drain. Failure to provide containment measures is the
sole responsibility of the owner and/or installer. Leakage damages
ARE NOT covered by warranty.
In addition, water leak detection devices and automatic water
shutoff valves are readily available at plumbing supply houses. IT
IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INSTALL
WATER LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
VALVES IN ANY BOILER INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OF
WATER COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGES.
The boiler must be installed level for the condensate to properly ow
out of the collection system. Failure to do so will result in improper
appliance operation.

Figure 6 - Mounting the Bracket on 16” Center Studs
Figure 5 - Mounting to a Concrete Wall
D. Wall Mounting Considerations
These boilers are wall mounted. Use only the wall mounting instructions
included with this boiler.
Ensure the wall that the boiler is intended to be mounted on is
comprised of cement, brick, block, or wooden studs spaced 16” apart
from center. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting at least 150 lbs
(68 kgs).
If ooding is possible, elevate the boiler to prevent oodwater from
reaching the boiler.
Ensure the boiler is installed in a location that minimizes the risk of
water damage due to leaking valves, pumps, unions, etc.
The boiler may be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound-
proong may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall).
Ensure that the structure of the installation location is sufcient to
support the full installed weight of the boiler, including water content
of the heat exchanger and related piping and components. If the
mounting location cannot support a minimum of 150 lbs. (68 kg), it
is recommended to locate the boiler in a mounting location that can
support the minimum weight. Failure to ensure the structure of the
installation location is structurally sound before installation of the
boiler and properly mount the boiler can result in structural failure,
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
WARNING
16 “
This boiler is too heavy for one person to lift. It is highly recommended
to install the boiler with two people. Use caution as to not drop the
boiler, which could damage the boiler and cause property damage
and/or severe personal injury. Verify that the boiler is properly and
securely mounted before leaving unsupervised. Failure to comply with
the above and properly mount the boiler could result in substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall.

Precautions
If the boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
• Mount the bottom of the boiler a minimum of 18” above the
oor of the garage to ensure the burner and ignition devices
are well o the oor.
• Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be damaged by a
moving vehicle.
The space must be provided with correctly sized combustion/
ventilation air openings for all other appliances located in the space
with the boiler. For power venting installations using room air for
combustion, refer to the boiler venting section, this manual, for
descriptions of conned and unconned spaces. Do not install the
boiler in an attic. Failure to comply with these warnings could result
in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
WARNING
G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe
The boiler is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely
to form condensate in the vent) and requires a special vent system
designed for pressurized venting.
NOTE: The venting options described here (and further detailed
in the Venting section, this manual) are the lone venting options
approved for this boiler. Failure to vent the boiler in accordance
with the provided venting instructions will void the warranty.
1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn
from the outdoors directly into the boiler intake and exhaust must
terminate outdoors. There are three basic direct vent options detailed
in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced
Venting.
Be sure to locate the boiler such that the exhaust vent and intake
piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated.
Dierent vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple
penetrations in the building structure (see Optional Equipment in
Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing,
and termination methods must all comply with the methods and limits
given in the Venting Section, this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must
be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. To prevent
combustion air contamination, see Table 6.
Do not attempt to vent this boiler by any means other than those
described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Boiler exhaust and intake
connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support
brackets must be within 1’ of the boiler and the balance at 4’
intervals. Boiler must be readily accessible for visual inspection for
rst 3’ from the boiler. Failure to properly support vents could result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The exhaust discharged by this boiler may be very hot. Avoid
touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases of the vent
termination assembly. Doing so could result in severe personal
injury or death.
Failure to vent the boiler properly will result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING
DANGER
This boiler requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation and must
be installed in a mechanical room where there is adequate combustion
and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination,
see Table 6.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space has
adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or louver to supply
sucient combustion air based on the boiler input. Never obstruct the
supply of combustion air to the boiler. If the boiler is installed in areas
where indoor air is contaminated (see Table 6) it is imperative that the
boiler be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly
from the outdoors into the boiler intake connection.
Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-
burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to
this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part
of the space. See Venting Section for details.
Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input rating of all fuel-
burning appliances installed in that space. Rooms connected directly to
this space through openings not furnished with doors are considered part
of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed
building to a conned space, such space should be provided with two
permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm) below the space ceiling, the
other 6” (15cm) above the space oor. Each opening should have a free
area of one square inch per 1,000 BTU/hr (22cm
2
/kW) of the total input of
all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm
2
).
If the conned space is within a building of tight construction, air for
combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined in the
Venting section of this manual.
2. Power Venting, Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or
Unconned Space
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can
cause poisonous ue gases to enter the living space, resulting
in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air
contamination, see Table 6.
CAUTION
WARNING
When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical
room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and As Required by State
and Local Codes:
Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors: At the time of installation
or replacement of the vented gas fueled appliance, the installing
plumber or gas tter shall observe that a hard wired carbon monoxide
detector with an alarm and battery back-up is installed on the oor
level where the gas appliance is installed, unless the appliance is
located in a detached, uninhabitable structure separate from the
dwelling, building, or structure used in whole or in part for residential
purposes.
In addition, the installing plumber or gas tter shall observe that a hard
wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up is
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building, or structure
served by the vented gas appliance. It shall be the responsibility of the
property owner to secure the service of qualied licensed professionals
for the installation of hard wired carbon monoxide detectors.
a. In the event that the vented gas fueled appliance is installed in a
crawl space or attic, the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with
alarm and battery back-up shall be installed on the next adjacent
oor level.
b. In the event that these requirements cannot be met at the time
of completion of installation, the owner shall have a period of thirty
(30) days to comply with the above requirements; provided, however,
that during said thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon
monoxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.

Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
Do not attempt to vent this appliance by any means other than those
described in this manual. Doing so will void the warranty and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
Approved Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Each carbon monoxide
detector as required in accordance with the above provisions shall
comply with NFPA 70 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certied.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants
in Table 6. Contaminated air will damage the boiler, resulting in
possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death. For example, do not pipe intake air near a swimming pool or
laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants.
WARNING
I. Prevent Combustion Air Contamination
Install intake air piping for the boiler as described in the Venting
Section, this manual. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can
allow contamination of intake air.
NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE BOILER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO
CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. (Refer to
the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions.)

J. Removing a Boiler from a Common Vent System
When removing an existing boiler, follow the steps below.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion, or other
deciencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows, and doors between
the space in which the boiler remains connected to the common
venting system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes
dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close all replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the
lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance 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 smoke
from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace
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 to conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the
system should approach the minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables in Appendix G of ANSI Z223.1.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in ue gas spillage and
carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other appliance.
This will cause ue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting
in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
