C. AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
1. Adequate combustion air and ventilation air must be
provided for this appliance in accordance with the
section of the National Fuel Gas Code entitled, “Air
for Combustion and Ventilation” or applicable
provisions of the local building code. Subsections 2
through 8 as follows are based on the National Fuel
Gas Code requirements.
1. PREINSTALLATION
The equipment shall be installed with those installation requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the
absence of such requirements, to the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code , ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or
CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to
American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers,
ASME CSD-1.

PREINSTALLATION
2. Required Combustion Air Volume: The total required
volume of indoor air is to be the sum of the required
volumes for all appliances located within the space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed and through
combustion air openings sized as indicated in
Subsection 3 are considered part of the required
volume. The required volume of indoor air is to be
determined by one of two methods.
a. Standard Method: The minimum required
volume of indoor air (room volume) shall be 50
cubic feet per 1000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3/kW). This
method is to be used if the air infiltration rate is
unknown or if the rate of air infiltration is known
to be greater than 0.6 air changes per hour. As
an option, this method may be used if the air
infiltration rate is known to be between 0.6 and
0.4 air changes per hour. If the air infiltration rate
is known to be below 0.4 then the Known Air
Infiltration Rate Method must be used. If the
building in which this appliance is to be installed
is unusually tight, PB Heat recommends that the
air infiltration rate be determined.
b. Known Air Infiltration Rate Method:
Where the air infiltration rate of a structure is
known, the minimum required volume of indoor
air for appliances other than fan assisted and
for the Series 211A Boiler shall be determined
as follows:
where:
Iother = Input of appliances other than fan
assisted in Btu/hr
ACH = air change per hour (percent of the
volume of the space exchanged per
hour, expressed as a decimal)
For fan assisted appliances, calculate the required
volume of air using the following equation:
Ifan = Input of the fan assisted appliances in
Btu/hr
Note: These calculations are not to be used for
infiltration rates greater than 0.60 ACH.
3. Indoor Air Opening Size and Location: Openings
connecting indoor spaces shall be sized and located
as follows:
a. Combining spaces on the same floor:
Provide two permanent openings communicating
with additional spaces that have a minimum free
area of 1 in2per 1000 Btu/hr (22 cm2per 1000 W)
of the total input rating of all gas fired equipment
but not less than 100 in2(645 cm2). One
opening is to begin within 12 inches (305 mm)
from the top of the space and the other is to
begin within 12 inches (305 mm) from the floor.
The minimum dimension of either of these
openings shall be 3 inches (76 mm). See Figure
1.2 for an illustration of this arrangement.
b. Combining spaces on different floors:
Provide one or more permanent openings
communicating with additional spaces that have
a total minimum free area of 2 in2per 1000
Btu/hr (44 cm2per 1000 W) of total input rating
of all equipment. See Figure 1.3 for an
illustration of this arrangement.
4. Outdoor Combustion Air: Outdoor combustion air is
to be provided through one or two permanent
openings. The minimum dimension of these air
openings is 3 inches (76 mm).
a. Two Permanent Opening Method: Provide
two permanent openings. One opening is to
begin within 12 inches (305 mm) of the top of
the space and the other is to begin within 12
inches (305 mm) of the floor. The openings are
to communicate directly or by ducts with the
outdoors or with spaces that freely communicate
with the outdoors. The size of the openings shall
be determined as follows:

6. Engineered Installations: Engineered combustion air
installations shall provide an adequate supply of
combustion, ventilation, and dilution air and shall be
approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
7. Mechanical Combustion Air Supply:
a. In installations where all combustion air is
provided by a mechanical air supply system, the
combustion air shall be supplied from the
outdoors at the minimum rate of 0.35 ft3/min per
1000 Btu/hr (0.034 m3/min per 1000 W) of the
total rated input of all appliances in the space.
b. In installations where exhaust fans are installed,
additional air shall be provided to replace the
exhaust air.
c. Each of the appliances served shall be
interlocked to the mechanical air supply to
prevent main burner operation when the
mechanical air supply system is not in operation.
d. In buildings where the combustion air is provided
by the mechanical ventilation system, the system
shall provide the specified combustion air rate in
addition to the required ventilation air.
8. Louvers & Grills:
a. The required size of openings for combustion,
ventilation, and dilution air shall be based on the
net free area of each opening.
i. Where the free area through a louver or grille
is known, it shall be used in calculating the
opening size required to provide the free area
specified.
ii. Where the free area through a louver or grille
is not known, it shall be assumed that wooden
louvers will have 25% free area and metal
louvers and grilles will have 75% free area.
iii. Nonmotorized dampers shall be fixed in the
open position.
b. Motorized dampers shall be interlocked with the
equipment so that they are proven in the full
open position prior to ignition and during
operation of the main burner.
i. The interlock shall prevent the main burner
from igniting if the damper fails to open
during burner startup.
ii. The interlock shall shut down the burner if
the damper closes during burner operation.
9. Combustion Air Ducts
a. Ducts shall be constructed of galvanized steel or
an equivalent corrosion- resistant material.
b. Ducts shall terminate in an unobstructed space,
allowing free movement of combustion air to the
appliances.
c. Ducts shall serve a single space.
d. Ducts shall not serve both upper and lower

PREINSTALLATION
3. Chimney/Vent Operation: The vent system must be
sized and installed to provide the draft needed to
remove all combustion products. If the vent system
does not provide enough draft, combustion products
will spill into the building from the draft hood relief
opening. If spillage of combustion products occurs,
check the vent system, the combustion and
ventilation openings and make sure the boiler room
is never under negative pressure.
4. Exterior Vents
a. If the vent is outside, make sure it is insulated
sufficiently to ensure adequate draft.
5. Vent Sizing:
a. Individual vents: Use vent piping the same
diameter as the boiler vent connection. The
minimum height is 10 feet (305 cm) above the
bottom of the draft hood (relief opening). The
vent must also extend above the roof or any
obstructions as outlined in the current edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes or
as required by local codes.
b. Combined vent breeching:
•The recommended sizing in Section 14, Boiler
Ratings & Dimensions, in this Manual is based
on a minimum chimney or vent height of 20
feet (610 cm) and a maximum horizontal run
of 6 feet (183 cm) to the chimney with no
more than one 90-degree standard elbow.
•The minimum area of the chimney serving
two or more appliances must be at least the
area of the largest chimney connector plus
50% of the total area of all other appliance
connectors.
•The vent connector must be single wall steel
or Type B double wall vent pipe. The vent
connector must be Type B double wall if it is
located in or passes through cold areas. The
vent connector must extend into, but not
beyond, the inside wall of the chimney.
6. Vent Connection to Boiler (Figure 1.8):
a. Provide at least a 3 foot (91 cm) rise in the vent
connection on the boiler.
b. The vent system should provide a draft of at least
0.02" w.c. (5 Pa) measured at the vent
connections.
c. Support the weight of the vent system
independently of the boiler draft hood. The draft
hood is not designed to carry structural loading.
d. Provide support of the vent connector
(breeching) at maximum 12 foot (366 cm)
intervals to prevent sagging and to provide a
minimum upward slope of 1/4" per foot (21 mm
per meter).
e. Do not connect the vent for this boiler into any
vent system which operates with positive
pressure.
f. Use Type B double-wall pipe for vents which run
through unheated spaces.
7. Removing an existing boiler from a common vent: At
the time for removal of an existing boiler, the
following steps shall be followed with each appliance
connected to the common venting system placed in
operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in
operation.
a) Seal any unused openings in the common
venting system.
b. 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.
c. 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 appliance not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they
will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
d. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the
thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
e. 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.
Failure to provide adequate venting can result in
severe property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING

PREINSTALLATION
f. 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,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning
appliance to their previous condition of use.
g. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the current edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or
CAN/CGA B149, the common venting system
should be resized to approach the minimum size
as determined using the appropriate tables
located in the chapter Sizing of Category I
Venting Systems in the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
E. BOILER SETTING
1. Provide a good, level foundation for the boiler with
the minimum dimensions given in Table 1.1. The
flooring and structural support system must be
suitable for the operating weight of the boiler and
any connected piping.
2. Do not operate the boiler until the foundation, if new
concrete, has thoroughly cured. The high
temperature under the burners could cause major
damage to the concrete if it still contains moisture.
3. If the boiler is installed in a penthouse or if wiring of
any sort is run underneath the boiler foundation,
construct the foundation with provision for air flow
underneath between the main floor and the top of
the boiler foundation.
a. Concrete block aligned with the openings
connected continuously would serve this
purpose, for example.
b. If the foundation must be a concrete slab, use an
air cell high temperature insulating board, at least
1/2 inch (13 mm) thick, with aluminum backing,
aluminum side up. 1/2 inch (13 mm) Hi Temp
millboard with aluminum backing would be
acceptable as well. Place the insulating board on
the slab inside the base.
F. WATER QUALITY AND MAKE-UP
1. Check the system to make sure there are no leaks or
overfilling problems which might cause excessive
make-up water to be added. Make-up water causes
liming in the boiler and brings in oxygen. Oxygen
can cause severe damage to the boiler through
oxygen corrosion pitting.
2. Make sure the expansion tank and automatic fill
valve (if used) are operating correctly. If either of
these causes high pressure in the system, the boiler
relief valve will weep or open, allowing fresh water to
enter the system.
3. Make sure the system controls don’t subject the
boiler to excessively low water temperatures, which
would cause condensation of flue gases and
corrosion of the boiler.
4. Do not use chemicals or substances in the
boiler or system which contain petroleum or its
derivatives. This will damage the boiler seals.
G. INSTALLATION SURVEY
For new and existing installations, a Water Installation
Survey is available from PB Heat, LLC. The survey will
provide information on how a water boiler works with
your specific system and will provide an overview of
water system operation in general.
You can also use this survey to locate system problems
which will have to be corrected. To obtain copies of the
Water Installation Survey, contact your PB Heat
representative or download it from PeerlessBoilers.com.
Do not install this boiler on carpeting or any
combustible flooring. A significant fire hazard could
result, with potential for property damage, personal
injury or death.

PLACE THE BOILER SECTIONS
A. PREPARATION
1. Check the level of the Boiler Base using a spirit level.
Make sure the base is level and that the base panels
are aligned within plus or minus 1/16" (2 mm).
2. Check the area around the Flow Ports (Figure 3.1).
Use solvent and a clean cloth to thoroughly clean the
flat surfaces and recesses. All foreign matter must be
removed to assure a proper seal when the sections
are drawn together.
B. PLACING THE SECTIONS
1. Begin by placing the Left Hand End Section on the
left end of the base. The upper flow port goes
toward the front of the boiler as shown is Figure 3.2.
2. Slide the section to the back of the base until the cast
lug on the bottom of the section under the lower
flow port is against the base back panel. Keep the
section upright by a supporting prop or other means.
3. Align the parting line of the section with the seam
between the Base End panel and the Base Front
Panel as shown in Figure 3.3.
4. Apply Hi-Temp rope seal by spreading a thin coat of
Rope Adhesive or Spray Adhesive in the grooves on
each end of the section. Place the rope in the grooves.
Do not stretch the rope. The longer rope goes in the
front groove. NOTE: The ends of each rope must
extend 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the top and bottom.
5. Place the Flow Port Gaskets in the recesses provided
(see Figure 3.1). Do not use adhesive.
6. The following steps must be followed to insure that
no damage is done to the tie rod lugs. A 0-100 ft.-lbs.
(0-136 N·m) torque wrench is required.
a. Place an Intermediate Section on the base and
slide it carefully against the Left Hand End
Section.
b. Align the flow ports from front to back, as close
as possible.
c. Insert a tie rod into each of the lugs on each
section and apply a nut and washer to each end
of the tie rod.
d. Before tightening, check the vertical alignment of
the sections using a spirit level. See Figure 3.4.
Make sure they are square with the Base.
3. PLACE THE BOILER SECTIONS
Gaskets will be damaged by petroleum or its
derivatives. Completely remove all solvent residue
before placing gaskets.
Do not use petroleum based compounds in the boiler.
CAUTION
The sections are heavy and must be supported
securely.
WARNING

Figure 3.2: Placing the First Section on Base

15
PLACE THE BOILER SECTIONS
Figure 3.3: Assembling Sections on Base

16
PLACE THE BOILER SECTIONS
e. Draw sections together evenly, alternating
between top lug and bottom lug in increments of
20 ft.-lbs. (27 N·m). Continue until both top and
bottom lugs are tightened to 60 ft.-lbs. (81 N·m).
DO NOT EXCEED 60 FT.-LBS (81 N·m).
f. Check the level while tightening to make sure
alignment stays true. Also make sure sections
remain square with the Base from front to back
as the tie rods are tightened and as additional
sections are installed.
g. If the sections tend to run out of plumb, this will
usually be at the bottom front. Loosen the upper
nuts slightly and tighten the lower ones to adjust.
7. Assemble the remaining sections in the same way for
a finished assembly as shown in Figure 3.3.
8. Some of the Intermediate Sections have tappings for
installing additional risers from the boiler. These
Tapped Intermediate Sections must be installed as
shown in Figure 3.5A. The placement order is left to
right (Figure 3.5).
9. After all sections are mounted, apply the furnace
cement provided between the Base and the bottoms
of the sections.
C. HYDROSTATIC TEST THE BOILER
1. The supply and return piping can be permanently
erected before applying the Boiler Jacket if the pipe
nipples applied to the boiler tappings are long
enough to clear the jacket.
2. Install a drain cock in one of the tappings provided
at the bottom rear of each end section.
3. Provide a water supply line to the boiler.
4. Plug all open tappings in the boiler.
5. Provide a means to vent air as the boiler fills.
6. Fill the boiler with water, venting air as water level
rises.
7. Pressurize boiler to:
•75 psig (517 kPa) for 50 psig (345 kPa) sections.
Do not exceed this pressure.
•120 psig (827 kPa) for 80 psig (552 kPa)
sections. Do not exceed this pressure.
a. Maintain pressure while checking all joints and
fittings for leaks.
b. After inspection is complete, drain the boiler and
remove plugs from tappings that are to be used.

INSTALL THE FLUE COLLECTOR
1. Collect the Flue Collector cartons. The Flue Collector
sections are labeled on the part and on the carton.
See Table 4.1 for the items needed.
2. Install Hi Temp Rope for each collector section as
shown in Figure 4.1. The rope provides the seal to
prevent flue gases from leaking from the collector.
Make certain that the rope is well under the bottom
edges of each flue collector section in order to obtain
a tight seal.
3. Place the Flue Collector sections in the positions given
in Table 4.1. These positions are numbered from
left to right when facing the front of the
boiler.
4. Fasten an angle bracket, part number GG-5005, to
the top of each Collector section with two #10 x 1/2"
(13 mm) long sheet metal screws. See Figure 4.2.
5. Insert a Long Hook Bolt, part number GG-5003,
through the angle bracket. Slip the hook end over
the tie rod. Apply a 1/4"-20 hex nut on the end of
the rod and snug against the bracket. See Figure 4.2.
Do not tighten yet.
6. Insert a Short Hook Bolt, part number GG-5004,
through the flange in the rear of the flue collector.
Catch the hook around the spacer pads at the top of
the boiler sections. Apply a 1/4"-20 hex nut on the
Bolt and snug against the flange. See Figure 4.2. Do
not tighten yet.
7. Draw the Flue Collector sections tight against the
sealing rope by tightening the nuts on the Hook
Bolts. Draw the nuts evenly, alternating tightening.
