2 WARNINGS
2.1 Ratings and Certications
−Gas red hot water boiler for either direct vent installation.
Design according to: ANSI Z21.13-2017 CSA 4.9-2017 – Gas-Fired
low pressure hot water boilers. Direct vent boiler, Category IV.
−SCAQMD Rule 1146.2
9 WARNING: Altering any R pressure vessel by installing
replacement heat exchangers, or any ASME parts not
manufactured and/or approved by Rwill instantly void the
ASME and CSA ratings and any warranty on the vessel. Altering
the ASME or CSA ratings of the vessel also violates national,
state, and local approval codes.
These boilers are certied to NSF/ANSI 372-2016 - Low lead
content certication program - plumbing products and conform
to the requirements for “lead free” plumbing products.
2.2 Regulations and guidelines
The installation must conform to the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In
Canada, installation must be in accordance with the requirements
of CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1.
Install CO detectors per local regulations. The use of a carbon
monoxide detector in conjunction with the R heating products
is required. When installing a carbon monoxide detector, the
manufacturer’s instructions of the carbon monoxide detector
must be followed in their entirety. It is recommended to use
a carbon monoxide detector in compliance with a nationally
recognized standard such as ANSI/UL 2034-2002 in the United
States and CSA 6.19-01 in Canada.
Boilers require yearly maintenance, see chapter “12.2 Maintenance”
page 49” and “12.4 Annual servicing check list” page 51.
2.3 General warnings
DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the boiler will operate is the
same type as that specied on the boiler rating plate and on the
colored sticker near the boiler gas connection.
WARNING: This product is a natural gas appliance that emits
poisonous gases; such as CO (Carbon Monoxide). For this reason,
it is required that CO detectors be installed in buildings where the
boiler is installed. Failure to do so may result in severe injury or
death.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply valve fail
to sh
ut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance
.
WARNING: Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the
boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
WARNING: Chlorine and chloramine concentration in domestic
water must be less than 50 ppm.
WARNING: Automatic lling systems are not recommended with
this product as they will continually add fresh water to the system
if there is a leak resulting in the addition of new contaminants
that could reduce the lifespan of the boiler.
WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper operation,
serious personal injury, re, or damage to the boiler:
−Always keep the area around the boiler free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other ammable liquids and vapors.
−Boiler should never be covered or have any blockage to the ow
of fresh air to the boiler.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. More than one disconnect
switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before
servicing. Failure to comply with the above could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
WARNING: Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
WARNING: Installation and service must be performed by a gas
supplier or a licensed qualied installer/service Technician.
WARNING - CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
CAUTION: This boiler requires forced water circulation when the
burner is operating. See minimum and maximum ow rates.
Severe damage will occur if the boiler is operated without proper
water ow circulation.
NOTICE: Minimum 20 AWG, 194°F (90°C), stranded wire must be
used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts) external connections
to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they
can cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as
appropriate.
NOTICE: When the boiler has been lled for the rst time or
the system has been drained and relled, it will be necessary
to release any air that may have become trapped within the
appliance heat exchanger. Loosen the bleed screw until water is
released and then close. IMPORTANT, THERE ARE NO OTHER MANUAL
AIR RELEASE VALVES LOCATED ON THE APPLIANCE.
The following instructions must be observed
−The boiler must only be used for its designated purpose,
observing the Installation Instructions.
−Only use the boiler in combinations and with the accessories
and spare parts listed.
−Other combinations, accessories and consumables must only
be used if they are specically designed for the intended
application and do not affect the system performance and the
safety requirements.
−Maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by authorized
professionals.
−You must report the installation of a condensing gas boiler to
the relevant gas and plumbing inspection authority and have
it approved.
−You are only allowed to operate the condensing gas boiler with
the combustion air/ue gas system that has been specically
designed and approved for this type of boiler.
−Please note that local permission for the ue system and the
condensate water connection to the public sewer system may
be required.
−The hot water distribution system must comply with all
applicable codes and regulations. When replacing an existing
boiler, it is important to check the condition of the entire hot
water distribution system to ensure safe operation.
You must also observe:
−The local building regulations stipulating the installation rules.
−The local building regulations concerning the air intake and
outlet systems and the chimney connection.
−The regulations for the power supply connection.
−The technical rules laid down by the gas utility company
concerning the connection of the gas connection to the local
gas main.
−The instructions and standards concerning the safety
equipment for the water/space heating system.
−The Installation instructions for building heating systems.
−The boiler must be installed such that the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying,
rain etc.) during boiler operation and service (circulator
replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).
