SECTION I - Pre-Installation Items
Code Compliance
This product must be installed in accordance to
the following:
- All applicable local, state, national and
provincial codes, ordinances, regula-
tions and laws.
- For installations in Massachusetts -
code requires the boiler to be installed
by a licensed plumber or gas fitter, and
if antifreeze is utilized, the installation
of a reduced pressure backflow preven-
ter device is required in the boiler’s cold
water fill or make up water supply line.
- For installation in Massachusetts
All direct vented appliances must com-
ply with the guidelines as outlined on
page 11.
-The National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54/
ANSI Z 223.1 - Latest edition.
- National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
-For installations in Canada -“Installation
Code for Gas Burning Equipment”
CGA/B149.1 or B149.2 Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1 CSA C22.1.
-Standards for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers,
ANSI/ASME CSD-1, when required.
The PRESTIGE Solo boiler gas mani-
fold and gas controls meet the safe light-
ing and other performance requirements
as specified in ANSI Z21.13 latest edi-
tion.
Determining Product Location
Before locating the PRESTIGE Solo check for
convenient locations to:
- Heating system piping
- Venting
- Gas supply piping
- Electrical service
Ensure the boiler location allows the combus-
tion air/vent piping to be routed directly through
the building and terminate properly outside with
aminimum amount of length and bends.
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of the
PRESTIGE Solo is free of any combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable liq-
uids.
Failure to remove or maintain the area
free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids or vapors
can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Ensure the PRESTIGE Solo and its controls are
protected from dripping or spraying water dur-
ing normal operation or service.
The PRESTIGE Solo should be installed in a
location so that any water leaking from the
boiler or piping connections or relief valve will
not cause damage to the area surrounding the
unit or any lower floors in the structure.
Boiler Replacement
If the PRESTIGE Solo is replacing an existing
boiler, the following items should be checked
and corrected prior to installation:
- Boiler piping leaks and corrosion.
-Improper location and sizing of the
expansion tank on the boiler heating
loop.
-If applicable, level and quality of freeze
protection within the boiler system.
WARNING
NOTICE

Pre-Installation Items
Recommended Clearances
The PRESTIGE Solo is approved for zero
clearance to combustibles, excluding vent and
boiler piping.
- Boiler Piping - 1/4 inch from com-
bustible materials.
- Reference the appropriate vent supple-
ment for clearance requirements.
To provide serviceability to the unit it is
recommended that the following clear-
ances be maintained:
Top boiler jacket - 24 inches [610 mm].
Front - 24 inches [610 mm].
Bottom boiler piping - 24 inches
[610 mm].
Rear -0inches
Sides - 6 inches [153 mm].
If the clearances listed above cannot be
maintained, the space must be ventilated.
See page 6 for ventilation requirements.
When maintaining zero clearance or less
than recommended clearances, some
product labeling may become hidden
and unreadable
When installing the PRESTIGE Solo in
aconfined space, sufficient air must be
provided for proper combustion and
venting and to allow, under normal oper-
ating conditions, proper air flow around
the product to maintain ambient temper-
atures within safe limits to comply with
the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 -
latest edition.
Residential Garage Installations
When installing the PRESTIGE Solo in a resi-
dential garage, the following special precautions
per NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 must be taken:
- Mount the unit with a minimum 18
inches [458 mm] above the floor level
of the garage. Ensure the burner and
ignition devices / controls are no less
than 18 inches [458 mm] above the
floor level.
- Locate or protect the unit in a matter
so it cannot be damaged by a moving
vehicle.
Boiler Freeze Protection Feature
The boiler control has an freeze protection fea-
ture built in. This feature monitors the boiler
temperature and responds as follows when no
call for heat is present:
- 46ºF Boiler circulator is ON
- 38ºF Boiler circulator is ON and burner
operates at low fire
- 50ºF Burner OFF and boiler circulator
operates for approximately 10 minutes
The boiler freeze protection feature is
disabled during a hard lockout, however
the CH circulator will operate.
The boiler freeze protection feature is
designed to protect the boiler. The boiler
should be installed in a primary/sec-
ondary piping arrangement if it is
installed in an unheated space or
exposed to water temperatures of 46ºF or
less. See Section IV for primary/sec-
ondarypiping examples. See Section IX
for antifreeze guidelines

SECTION II - Combustion Air and
Venting
Combustion Air Contamination
If the PRESTIGE Solo combustion air
inlet is located in any area likely to cause
or contain contamination, or if products,
which would contaminate the air cannot
be removed, the combustion air must be
repiped and terminated to another loca-
tion. Contaminated combustion air will
damage the unit and its burner system,
resulting in possible severe personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Do not operate a PRESTIGE Solo if its
combustion air inlet is located near a
laundry room or pool facility. These
areas will always contain hazardous con-
taminants.
Pool and laundry products and common
household and hobby products often
contain fluorine or chlorine compounds.
When these chemicals pass through the
burner and vent system, they can form
strong acids. These acids can create cor-
rosion of the heat exchanger, burner
components and vent system, causing
serious damage and presenting a possi-
ble threat of flue gas spillage or water
leakage into the surrounding area.
Please read the information listed below.
If contaminating chemicals arelocated
near the area of the combustion air inlet,
the installer should pipe the combustion
air inlet to an outside area free of these
chemicals per SECTION V of this
installation manual.
Potential contaminating products
- Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocar-
bons
- Permanent Wave Solutions
- Chlorinated wax
- Chlorine - based swimming pool chem-
icals / cleaners
- Calcium Chloride used for thawing ice
- Sodium Chloride used for water soft-
ening
- Refrigerant leaks
- Paint or varnish removers
- Hydrochloric acid / muriatic acid
- Cements and glues
- Antistatic fabric softeners used in
clothe dryers
-Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and
cleaning solvents found in household
laundry rooms
- Adhesives used to fasten building prod-
ucts and other similar products
Areas likely to contain these products
-Dry cleaning / laundry areas and estab-
lishments
-Beauty salons
- Metal fabrication shops
- Swimming pools and health spas
- Refrigeration Repair shops
- Photo processing plants
- Auto body shops
- Plastic manufacturing plants

U.S or CSA B149.1 and B149.2 for installa-
tions in Canada.
The space must be provided with venti-
lation / combustion air openings proper-
ly sized for all make-up air requirements
(exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fireplaces,
etc.) and the total input of all appliances
located in the same space as the PRES-
TIGE Solo, excluding the input of a
Direct Vent PRESTIGE Solo which uses
combustion air directly from the outside,
thus additional free area for the open-
ings is not required. Failure to provide
or properly size the openings could
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Ventilation and Combustion Air
Requirements - Category IV
A Category IV appliance utilizes uncontami-
nated indoor or outdoor air (surrounding the
appliance) for combustion.
In order to reduce the potential risks
associated with indoor contaminates
(listed on page 5), flammable vapors and
tight housing construction (little or no
infiltration air), it is recommended to
pipe uncontaminated combustion air
directly from the outdoors to the appli-
ance. This practice also promotes higher
system efficiency by reducing heated
indoor air from being exhausted from
the house and replaced by cold infiltra-
tion air into the house.

Combustion Air and Vent Piping
The PRESTIGE Solo requires a Category IV
venting system, which is designed for pressur-
ized venting and condensate.
The PRESTIGE Solo is certified per ANSI
Z21.13 as a Category IV or Direct Vent (sealed
combustion) appliance. A Category IV appli-
ance utilizes uncontamined indoor or outdoor
air (surrounding the appliance) for combustion.
ADirect Vent appliance utilizes uncontaminat-
ed outdoor air (piped directly to the appliance)
for combustion.
In order to reduce the potential risks
associated with indoor contaminates
(listed on page 5), flammable vapors
and tight housing construction (little or
no infiltration air), it is recommended
to pipe uncontaminated combustion air
directly from the outdoors to the appli-

Removal of an Existing Boiler from a
Common Vent System
When an existing boiler is removed from a
common venting system, the common vent-
ing system is likely to be too large for proper
venting of the remaining appliances. At the
time of removal of an existing boiler, the fol-
lowing steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system placed in operation,
while the other appliances remaining con-
nected to the common venting system are not
in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common
venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for
proper size and horizontal pitch and deter-
mine there is no blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building
doors and windows and all doors between
the space in which the appliances remain-
ing connected to the common venting sys-
tem 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.
4. Place in operation the appliance being
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will oper-
ate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relied
opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or can-
dle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. 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 appli-
ance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common
venting system should be corrected so the
installation conforms with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation
codes. When resizing any portion of the
common venting system, the common
venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined
using the appropriate tables in Part II of
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CGA B149,
Installation codes.
Do not install the PRESTIGE Solo into
acommon vent with other gas or oil

Boiler Piping
14
SECTION IV - Boiler Piping
General Piping Requirements
-All plumbing must meet or exceed all local,
state and national plumbing codes.
- Support all piping using hangers. DO NOT
support piping by the unit or its components.
- Use isolation valves to isolate system com-
ponents.
- Install unions for easy removal of the
PRESTIGE Solo from the system piping.
Use a two wrench method when tighten-
ing piping onto the boiler connections.
Use one wrench to prevent the boiler
piping from turning / twisting. Failure
to supportthe boiler piping and connec-
tions in this manner could cause damage
to the boiler and its components.
PressureRelief Valve
1. The PRESTIGE Solo is supplied with a 30
psi pressure relief valve and must be piped
using the PRV connection as shown in Fig.
5page 15.
2. To avoid potential water damage to the sur-
rounding area or potential scalding hazard
due to the operation of the relief valve, the
discharge piping:
-Must be connected to the discharge out-
let of the relief valve and directed to a
safe place of disposal.
-Length should be as short and direct as
possible. The size of the discharge line
should not be reduced, maintain the
same size as the outlet of the relief valve.
-Should be directed downward towards
the floor at all times. The piping should
terminate at least 6 inches [153 mm]
above any drain connection to allow
clear visibility of the discharge.
-Should terminate with a plain end, not
with a threaded end. The material of
the piping should have a serviceable
temperature rating of 250ºF or greater.
-Should not be subject to conditions
where freezing could occur.
-Should not contain any shut-off valves
or obstructions. No shut-off valve
should be piped between the boiler and
relief valve.
Failure to comply with the guidelines on
installing the pressure relief valve and
discharge piping can result in personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Low Water CutoffDevice
- The PRESTIGE Solo is equipped with a fac-
tory installed pressure switch type Low Water
Cut Offdevice.
- The minimum operating system pressure
allowable with this device is 10 psig.
- Check local codes if a Low Water Cutoff
Device is required. If so, determine if this
device meets the requirements of the local
codes.
The PRESTIGE Solo control system also
senses the system water temperatures
entering and exiting the heat exchanger to
provide protection against low water con-
ditions Where local codes and jurisdic-
tion do not accept a pressure device for
low water protection, the jurisdictions
may accept these PRESTIGE Solo inte-
gral control functions as a means of pro-
viding low water protection.
