The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest edition or CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and
propane.
This installation must also conform to the additional require-
ments in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.
NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so
that the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See page
8 for vent terminal location restrictions.) The location should
also be such that all boiler components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance opera-
tion and service (circulator replacement, control replace-
ment, etc.).
BOILER FOUNDATION
A. Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at
least 51 mm (2") past the jacket on all sides. See
dimensions of boilers, page 2.
B. For installation on non-combustible floors only*.
C. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing
electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes or
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific
requirements.
* Installation on combustible flooring allowed only with proper Com-
bustible Floor Kit. Kit part number is printed on boiler rating plate.
In no case may the boiler be installed on carpeting.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE
CONSTRUCTIONS
A. Minimum clearances to the exterior surfaces of the boiler
shall be as follows:
MINIMUM ALCOVE AND CLOSET CLEARANCE
For Combustible Recommended

B.
Provide accessibility clearance of 610 mm (24") on sides
requiring servicing and 457 mm (18") on sides used for
passage.
C. All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This
may result in increased values of some minimum clear-
ances in order to maintain the minimum clearances of
others.
D. Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 25 mm
(1 inch)**.
** At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling,
the clearance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wall
or ceiling boards may be not less than 12 mm (1/2 inch). Each such
opening shall be covered with a plate of uncombustible material.
SAFETY

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE
GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION
REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION
Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) propane gas is heavier than air.
Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves must NOT be
installed in locations where propane leaking from defective
equipment and piping will “pool” in a basement or other
space below the leak.
A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignite
the accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near the chimney as possible so that the flue
pipe from boiler to chimney is short and direct.
The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORM
MECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6 or CSA B149.1-00 for
natural gas and propane:
“LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-burning
appliances shall not be installed in a pit, basement or
similar location where heavier-than-air-gas might collect.
Appliances so fueled shall not be installed in an above-
grade under-floor space or basement unless such loca-
tion is provided with an approved means for removal of
unburned gas.”
Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICAL
CODE or CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane for
design criteria of the “approved” means for removal of
unburned gas.

VENTING APPLICATION
VSPH Series are sealed combustion type boilers, they may be
installed and vented either as direct vent boiler which all air for
combustion is obtained directly from outside or as non-direct
vent boiler which air for combustion is taken from inside the
boiler room.
VSPH boilers must be vented by proper 76 mm (3") diameter.
Stainless Steal venting system (see “vent material” on this
page) through the roof or sidewall.
BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION
An ample supply of air is required for combustion and ventila-
tion. When buildings are insulated, caulked and weather-
stripped, now or later on, direct openings to outside may be
required and should be provided. If the boiler is not near an
outside wall, air may be ducted to it from outside wall open-
ings.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made in
accordance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edi-
tion, or CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane or applic-
able provisions of the local building codes. The following rec-
ommendation applies to buildings of energy-saving construc-
tion, fully caulked and weatherstripped.
INSTALLATION IN ENCLOSED BOILER ROOM REQUIRES
TWO UNOBSTRUCTED OPENINGS FOR PASSAGE OF AIR
INTO THE BOILER ROOM:
A. NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
1. Air drawn horizontally from outdoors DIRECTLY
through an outside wall; one louvered opening near the
floor and one louvered opening near the ceiling, each
opening with a minimum FREE air passage area of 550
mm2per kW (1 square inch per 4000 BTUH) of total
appliances’ input.
2. Air drawn horizontally through HORIZONTAL DUCTS;
one opening near the floor and one opening near the ceil-
ing, each opening with a minimum FREE air passage area
of 1100 mm2per kW (1 square inch per 2000 BTUH) of
total appliances’ input.
3. Air drawn VERTICALLY from outdoors; one opening at
the floor and one opening at the ceiling, each opening
with a minimum FREE air passage area of 550 mm2per
kW (1 square inch per 4000 BTUH) of total appliances’
input.
4. Air drawn from inside the building; one opening near
the floor and one opening near the ceiling, each opening
with a minimum FREE air passage area of 2200 mm2per
kW (1 square inch per 1000 BTUH) of total appliances’
input.
IF BOILERS ARE INSTALLED ADJACENT TO OTHER FUEL
BURNING EQUIPMENT, THE AREA OF FREE OPENINGS
MUST BE APPROPRIATELY INCREASED TO ACCOMMO-
DATE THE ADDITIONAL LOAD.
B. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
Adequate air supply should be provided to prevent overheat-
ing of the boiler controls and boiler room. Openings for pas-
sage of air into the boiler room for direct-vent installation must
be at least 1/2of the openings required for the non-direct vent
as mentioned above.
If additional non-direct vent appliances are installed in the
same space and adequate air openings are provided for
them, there are no additional air openings required for the
VSPH boiler.
For both direct and non-direct installation, the following must
be considered:
- Openings must never be reduced or closed. If doors or
windows are used for air supply, they must be locked
open.
- Protect against closure of openings by snow and debris.
Inspect frequently.
- No mechanical draft exhaust or supply fans are to be
used in or near the boiler area.
- Boiler area must never be under negative pressure. The
flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler must
not be obstructed.
FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Victory VSPH series boiler is a high efficiency, mechani-
cally induced draft boiler and, therefore, requires different
venting arrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency boil-
ers.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY
READ AND FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION
OF THE AIR INTAKE AND FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEM.
The vent piping installation MUST be in accordance with these
instructions and with ANSI Z223.1-latest edition NATIONAL
FUEL GAS CODE, Part 7, Venting of Equipment, or CSA
B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane. Other local codes
may also apply and must be followed. Where there is a con-
flict between these requirements, the more stringent case shall
apply.
The use of a vent damper is NOT permitted on this boiler
series.
VENT MATERIAL
The vent system for direct or non-direct vent installation must
be UL listed single wall 76 mm (3") diameter AL29-4C* stain-
less steel material. The following manufacturers’ systems are
approved for use within a specified minimum and maximum
equivalent vent length for each model. Proper adapter must
be used as a connector between Victory VSPH boilers flue
collar and venting system as shown below:

When joining the various components of the above listed
vent systems, the manufacturers’ instructions should be
closely followed to insure proper sealing. All vent connec-
tions must be liquid and pressure tight. Flue vent system
CANNOT be cut to length. Consult manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. For Heat-Fab system, use slip joint connector (Part No.
7324-GC) to adjust pipe lengths dimensions.
DO NOT use plastic or galvanized flue pipe.
HEAT-FAB SAF-T STAINLESS STEEL (AL 29-4C) VENTING MATERIALS
AIR INTAKE PIPE MATERIAL
76 mm (3") PVC Schedule 40 or galvanized steel materials
are recommended.
These materials are recommendations only and do not limit
the materials that can be used as long as the materials used
are acceptable to the authority having juristiction.
All joints must be sealed using appropriate sealants.
FLUE AND AIR INTAKE RESTRICTIONS
1. Maximum allowed equivalent flue and air intake length for
different flue systems at different altitudes are given in
the tables on page 7.
2. Equivalent of flue or air intake length is sum of the
straight pipe lengths and equivalent length of elbows as
shown in the table on this page.
3. The vent termination is in addition to the allowed equiva-
lent lengths.
4. Minimum flue length is 610 mm (24").
5. Flue length restriction is for both direct and non-direct
vent installations.
EXAMPLE: Boiler model VSPH-180 is to be installed at sea
level. The combustion air is provided by air intake piping
directly to the boiler (direct-vent installation). Flue piping
includes 2 elbows and using Heat-Fab system. Air intake is
PVC and includes 3 elbows.
Maximum straight flue length would be
10.0m – .9m x 2 = 8.2m (33 feet – 3 feet x 2 = 27 feet) .
Maximum straight air intake pipe would be
12.2m - 0.9m x 3 = 9.5m (40-3x5=25 feet).
If the air for combustion were taken from the boiler room
(non-direct vent installation), still the maximum straight flue
length would be 7.3 m (24 feet).
6. All Victory VSPH boilers are equipped with a built-in
condensation drain and trap. The trap loop must be
filled with water. DO NOT operate the boiler without
filling the trap with water to prevent flue gas discharge
into space. The drain should extend to a floor drain or
to a container which may require emptying periodically.
7. The horizontal vent pipe must be sloped upward from
the boiler at a pitch of at least 20mm/m (1/4" per 1 foot)
of run, so that the condensate from the vent system
runs to the drain trap.
8. The horizontal vent pipes must be supported with pipe
straps at intervals no greater than indicated by vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions. The vertical portion
vent pipe also must be supported per manufacturer’s
instructions. Support air intake piping in the same
manner as the vent pipes.
9. Minimum clearances of vent pipes from combustible
constructions must be maintained (see Page 4).
Maintain minimum 25mm (1") clearance between vent
pipes and PVC air intake pipes.
10. Common venting with other appliances or another
VSPH boiler is not allowed.
11. DO NOT install a vent damper or similar devices in
vent system or on the boiler.
12. Do not insulate venting system.

VENTING INSTALLATION
Follow the vent material manufacturer’s instructions in con-
junction with these instructions for venting system installa-
tion.
I. Non-Direct Vent Installation
The air for combustion is taken from the ambient air
surrounding the boiler; therefore, ample supply of air is
required for combustion and ventilation (see page 5.)
DO NOT use this installation method if the surrounding of
the boiler is contaminated. The harmful corrosive
contamination may be from the chlorine-type detergents,
cleaners, bleaches, and fabric softeners used in laundry or
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals.
A. SIDEWALL VENTING - NON-DIRECT VENT
Figures 5 and 6 show typical horizontal sidewall venting. For
combustible wall passage of vent piping, a UL or CSA listed
thimble must be used, providing the wall thickness from 76
mm (3") minimum up to 305 mm (12") maximum. The vent
piping must terminate with a screened tee or elbow
termination facing down.
CAUTION: Flue gasses existing from the vent terminal will
condense. Building materials in the area of the vent terminal
should be protected from discoloration and degradation.
VENT TERMINATION LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
1. The venting system shall terminate at least 914 mm (36")
above any forced air inlet located within 3048 mm (120").
2. The venting system shall terminate at least 1219 mm
(48") below, 1219 mm (48") horizontally from, or 305 mm
(12") above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any
building. The bottom of the vent terminal or air intake ter-
minal shall be at least 305 mm (12") above grade or the
normal snow level whichever is greater.
3. Through the wall vents shall not terminate over public
walkways or over areas where condensate or vapor
could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimen-
tal to the operation of regulators, relief valves or other
equipment. Minimum clearance of 1219 mm (48") hori-
zontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas
meters, regulators and relief equipment.
4. Vent termination must not be located in any confined
space (i.e. window wells, alcoves, narrow alleys) or under
any overhang or deck. Vent termination should not allow
flue gas discharge towards neighbor’s windows or where
personal injury or property damages can occur.
B. NON-DIRECT VENT - VERTICAL VENTING
Figure 7 shows typical venting through the roof. The vent
pipe must pass through the ceiling, floor and the roof verti-
cally through a 178 mm (7") minimum diameter cutout. A fire
stop is required for each ceiling and floor penetration. For
roof passage, an appropriate UL listed roof flashing must be
used.
An existing chimney (see Figure 8) may be used as a chase
for vertical venting. Other appliances CANNOT be vented
into the same chimney or vent pipe with in the chimney.
The vertical vent piping must terminate with a screened tee,
or combination of 45Þ elbow and a 90Þ screened elbow
termination or a rain cap termination.
II. Direct Vent Installation
Air intake piping from outside to the boiler air intake collar
provides the air for combustion. The boiler surrounding may
be contaminated with chlorine-based products such as laun-
dry detergents.
A. SIDEWALL DIRECT VENTING
Figures 9 and 10 show typical sidewall direct venting.
Slant/Fin vent/air intake termination MUST be used for this
method of installation.
CAUTION: Flue gasses existing from the vent terminal will
condense. Building materials in the area of the terminal
should be protected from discoloration and degradation.
See page 8 for vent termination location and required clear-
ances.
VENT/AIR INTAKE TERMINATION INSTALLATION
1. Termination must be installed horizontally.
2 Refer to Figure 11 for installation details.
3. Wall thickness should be 76 to 305 mm (3" to 12") thick
4. Follow instruction for "vent termination location and
clearances" explained on this page.
5. Cut a rectangular opening with following dimensions in the
wall.
Height: 133 mm (51/4")
Width: 324 mm (1213/44")
6. From outside of the wall, install outside termination plate
using 4 screws. Make sure the louvers are at left side.
7. For combustible wall a 102 mm (4") galvanized pipe must
be used as a wall thimble.
The length of the 102 mm (4") galvanized pipe should be
approximately 25 mm (1") shorter than the wail thickness.
8. From inside the building, fit galvanized pipe over 102 mm
(4") collar of the outside plate.
9. From inside, fit 76 mm (3") diameter air intake pipe over 76
mm (3") collar located on the air box of the outside plate.

VENTING AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM REGULAR
INSPECTION
A. Inspect the system regularly for condensation, corrosion
and/or physical damage. A qualified professional should
service the boiler annually and include such an inspection
at that time. The homeowner should look over the system
monthly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust, other
corrosions or separation of the vent and air intake piping (if
direct-vent).
B. Should an inspection turn up signs of condensation, corro-
sion or damage, the boiler should be shut down immediate-
ly and the condition should be corrected by a qualified pro-
fessional.
C. All Victory VSPH boilers are equipped with a built-in con-
densation drain and trap. The trap loop must be filled with
water. DO NOT operate the boiler without filling the trap with
water to prevent flue gas discharge into space. Periodic
inspection should be made of this assembly for deteriora-
tion of the tubing and to insure that the trap is not plugged.
If it is plugged or appears to have excessive sediment in it,
it should be removed from the drain assembly, straightened
out to clear the obstruction, reformed, filled with water and
reinstalled as before.
GAS PIPING
A. Local installation codes apply. The pipe joint compound
used on threads must be resistant to the action of lique-
fied petroleum gases.
B. The gas supply line to the boiler should be run directly
from the meter for natural gas or from the fuel tank for L.P.
propane gas. See page 2 for location of union and manu-
al main shut-off valve that may be specified locally.
Selecting pipe size for natural gas:
1. Measure or estimate the length of piping from the
meter to the installation site.
2. Consult gas supplier for heating value of gas (W/m)
(BTU/cu. ft.).
3. Divide boiler rated input by heating value to find gas
flow in piping (m3/hr.) (cu. ft. per hour).
4. Use table below to select proper pipe size.
Example: Boiler model VSPH-150 is to be installed. Distance
from gas meter to the boilers is 9144 mm (360 in.). Heating
value of natural gas is 10 557 W/m3 (1020 BTU/cu. ft.)
Select proper pipe size.
(Gas flow = 43 965 W/hr. = 4.16 m3/hr.
10 557 W/m3
(Gas flow = 150,000 BTU/hour = 147 cu. ft. per hour)
1020 BTU/cu. ft.
At 9.1 m (30 ft.) length of pipe, match required capacity from
table on this page (choose higher capacity, in this case 4.3
m3/hr. (152 cu. ft. per hour).) Required pipe size is 19 mm
(3/4").
Improper gas pipe sizing will result in pilot flame outages,
insufficient heat and other installation difficulties. For more
information and also if other appliances are to be attached to
the piping system, see Appendix C of National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1-latest edition or CSA B149.1-00 for natur-
al gas and propane.
C. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested
before placing the boiler in operation. Use liquid soap
solution for all gas leak testing. DO NOT use open flame.
This boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 3.5 kPa (1¼2PSIG). This boiler must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individ-
ual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 3.5 kPa (1¼2PSIG).
D. All gas piping used should be inspected thoroughly for
cleanliness before makeup. A sediment trap must be pro-
vided, as illustrated on page 2.
E. The minimum and maximum gas supply pressure (at the
inlet of gas valve) are shown on the boiler rating plate for
the type of gas used. Gas supply pressure should never
be less than minimum or more than maximum pressure
when the boiler or any other appliance is turned on or off.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
DANGER: Before wiring always turn off electric power supply
otherwise, shock or death can result.
1. Power Supply
A separately fused circuit is recommended. Use standard
15 Amp. fuse or breaker and 14 gauge conductors in BX
cable or conduit.
Provide disconnect means and overload protection as
required. See boiler wiring diagram (Figure 13a) boiler con-
trol (Figure13b) and ladder diagram (Figure 13c).
Boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or, in the
absence of such requirements, with the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA-C22-1, Part 1-latest edition.

2. Power Connection
A. Remove electrical junction box cover.
B. Hot connection lead is black. Neutral connection lead is
white.
Proper polarity is important for VSPH boilers. Reversed
polarity will cause system lockout and the power LED will
flash continuously.
C. Connect ground wire to ground screw inside the junction
box.
D. Replace junction box cover.
THERMOSTAT CONNECTIONS
Install thermostat on an inside wall and away from any heat
sources, sunshine and drafts. Thermostat wires must be con-
nected to terminals block on boiler. See wiring diagram Figure
13a.
Thermostat heat anticipator: For a non-zoned system set ther-
mostat heat anticipator to 0.4 Amps, for zoned system set to
match power requirements of zone valves or relays. Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions and specifications. Also see
instructions with thermostat.
MULTI ZONING
For multiple zoning, either zone valves or circulators maybe
used.
For zone valve system see Figure 14.
For pump zoning system see Figure 15 and Figure 16.
DO NOT use boiler transformer to power external accessories
like zone valve and relays, overload and/or burned-out trans-
former and boiler malfunction can result. Use separate trans-
former to power such components. For pump zoning system,
remove boiler circulator wire connector from P5 of electronic
boiler control (See Figure 13b).
WATER PIPING
Always follow good piping practices. Observe minimum 25
mm (1") clearance to combustibles around all uninsulated hot
water pipes or when openings around pipes are not protected
by non-combustible materials.
On a hot water boiler installed above radiation level, the boiler
must be provided with a low water cutoff device at the the
time of installation by the installer (see Figure 17 for piping
arrangement).
The low water cutoff must be wired in the hot leg (L1)
connection to the boiler. See wiring diagram Figure 13a.
1. Supply and Return
For tapping sizes see dimensions on page 2. Shut-off
valves are recommended.
2. Circulating Systems
Some Victory boilers are equipped with a water circulating
pump mounted to the return water connection on the boiler.
This pump location is appropriate for most installations. It
may be desired and proper to locate this pump to the alter-
nate location shown in Figure 17, especially when applied to
larger systems using high-head pumps.
When the pump is removed there is a 38 mm (11/2") FPT tap-
ping that the return pipe may be attached to.
At one month intervals after the last call for heat, the circula-
tor will be energized for 30 seconds. Short operation after
long term idle periods prevent damage of the pump from
sedimentation.
3. Low Temperature return water prevention
Some acceptable method to prevent return water to the
boiler below 54°C (130°F) must be used. A boiler by-pass
with three-way mixing valve or a primary/secondary
pumping (with boiler loop) are examples of acceptable
methods.
4. Air control system
Diaphragm type expansion tank is used to control system
pressure. It must be installed at the boiler or between boil-
er and supply main pump(s).
An automatic air vent is used to remove air from the sys-
tem in Figure 17. If system pressure needs further control,
add an additional tank in parallel with original tank or
install a larger capacity tank. Use appropriate size tank for
volume of water in system. See chart for boiler’s volume.

4. Cold Water Fill
Pressure reducing (fill) valve and shut-off valve should be
installed.
5. Relief Valve Discharge Piping
Use same size or larger piping than valve outlet. Must ter-
minate 152 mm (6") minimum from floor with a plain (no
threads) end. Place a bucket under pressure relief valve
discharge. Make sure discharge is always visible. DO
NOT hard-pipe to drain piping.
6. Providing Protection from Freezing
Anti-freeze is sometimes used in hydronic heating sys-
tems to protect against freeze-up in the event of power
failure or control shutdown when the building is unoccu-
pied. It should be recognized that unless the building is
kept above freezing temperature by some means, the
plumbing system is not protected. Two types of anti-
freeze may be used: ETHYLENE GLYCOL, used in auto-
mobiles, has desirable properties, but is toxic. Its use
maybe prohibited when system water/glycol solution is in
contact with a potable water vessel (as an indirect hot
water heater with built-in heating coils). PROPYLENE
GLYCOL is used in the quick-freeze food industry; it is
practically non-toxic. Its use may be permitted when sys-
tem solution is in contact with a potable water vessel.
When anti-freeze must be used, inhibited propylene glycol
is recommended. Useful information on the characteris-
tics, mixing proportions, etc. of glycol in heating systems
is given in Technical Topics No. 2A, available from the
Hydronics Institute, 34 Russo Place, Berkeley Heights, NJ
07922. Consult glycol manufacturers for sources of propy-
lene glycol.
7. Water Treatment
A good water treatment program will not only extend the
useful life of this boiler but it will also save much of the
time and expense of repairs made necessary by pre-
ventable occurrences. A reputable water treatment com-
pany should be consulted to evaluate and determine the
best overall treatment program for your boiler equipment.
PIPING A HEATING - COOLING SYSTEM TO A WATER
BOILER AND CHILLER
Figure 18 illustrates a method of piping a heating-cooling
system to a water boiler and a chiller. Hand valves (shown)
or automatic valves must be installed to prevent circulation of
chilled water in the boiler or hot water in the chiller.
The air control system and pressure control system must
operate with chiller only, or the boiler only, being valved to
the piping system. Separate control devices on the boiler
and chiller may be used, or a single set of air and pressure
controls on the common piping may be preferred.
If the boiler is used to supply hot water to heating coils in air
handling units, flow control valves or other devices must be
installed to prevent gravity circulation of water in the coils
during the cooling cycle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I. Filling and Venting Water Systems
A. Fill the system with water. Vent or purge of air.
B. Fire the boiler as soon as possible (see following
warning and instructions) and bring water up to
temperature in the system.
C. Vent air and add water as needed to achieve operating
pressure on boiler gauge. Pressure must be between
approximately 83 kPa (12 psi) (cold water) and 172
kPa (25 psi) at water temperature setting of high limit
control, for boilers equipped with 207 kPa (30 psi)
relief valves. Boilers rated for a higher pressure and
equipped with a matching relief valve may operate at a
higher pressure, but no higher than 34 kPa (5 psi)
below the relief valve opening pressure.
D. Check for and repair any leaks before placing system
in service.
BEFORE FIRING BOILER, make these checks:
1. System is full of water. Air is vented or purged.
2. Relief valve is installed in accordance with ASME Boil-
er and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV. Valve open-
ing is not closed or reduced in size.
3. Venting is installed according to instructions under
“FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS”.
4. All wiring is completed, following applicable wiring dia-
grams.
5. Using soap solution, check for gas leaks in all gas pip-
ing from meter to boiler pilot and manifold. DO NOT
use open flame.
