Bypass piping is an option which 4.
gives the ability to adjust the supply
boiler water temperature to t the
system or condition of the installa-
tion. is method of piping is not
typically required for baseboard
heating systems.
is method is used to protectA.
boilers from condensate forming
due to low temperature return
water. Generally noticed in large
converted gravity systems or
other large water volume sys-
tems. See Figure #3.
ese methods are used to pro-B.
tect systems using radiant panels
and the material they are encased
in from high temperature supply
water from the boiler and protect
the boiler from condensation.
See Figures #4 & #5.
NOTE: 5. When using bypass piping,
adjust valves A and B, in Figures #3
& #5, until desired system tempera-
ture is obtained.
NOTE: 6. When using a 4-way mixing
valve, set control knob until desired
temperatures are met. See instruction
supplied with valve.
Bypass loop piping must be the same 7.
size piping as the supply and the
return.
Typical installation using circulators 8.
is shown in Figure #6 on following

By Federal Codes, gas appliances are categorized by the pres-
sure and temperature of the ue gas vented from the appliance.
Category I and II appliances are natural dra (dra hood)
vented, with high ue gas temperatures (Category I), or low
ue gas temperatures (Category II).
Category III and IV appliances are fan forced vents with high
temperature (Category III) or low temperature (Category IV)
ue gasses. Appliance eciency is directly related to ue gas
temperature. Higher eciency appliances remove more heat
from the gas, so they will have lower temperature ue prod-
ucts.
When ue gas temperatures are lowered, corrosive condensates
may form in the gas vent or in the appliance. Condensates may
form in Category II, III, IV appliance vents, so special corro-
sive resistant venting systems are required for higher eciency
appliances.

WARNING
Vents for Category I appliances may not be suitable
for use with Category II, III, or IV appliances because
condensate may corrode the vent.
Vents for Category III appliances may not be suitable
for use with Category I appliances because ue gas
temperatures may be too high.
Proper operation of the vent system and appliance is depen-
dent upon the use of all parts specied by the manufacturer for
use in the particular installation. Appliance and vent system
performance may be aected by improper assembly.

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting
system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for
the proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to
it. If this situation occurs, the following test procedure must be
followed:

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps
shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected
to the common venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to the common venting
system are not in operation.
Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. 1.
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and 2.
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies which
could cause an unsafe condition.
Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and win- 3.
dows and all doors between the space in which the ap-
pliances 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 oper-
ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust
fan. Close replace dampers.
Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow
4.
the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance
will operate continuously.
Test for spillage at the dra hood relief opening aer 5 5.
minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
Aer it has been determined that each appliance remain- 6.
ing connected to a common venting system properly vents
when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, replace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
Any improper operation of the common venting system 7.
should be corrected so the installation conforms with
either the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1, (when installed in the United States) or the
CAN1-B149.1 and/or B149.2 Installation Codes for Gas-
Burning Equipment, (when installed in Canada). 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 appendix G in the latest revision of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN1-B149.1 and/or
B149.2 Installation Codes for Gas-Burning Equipment.

Before seasonal start up it is advisable to have a competent 1.
service agency check the boiler for soot and scale in the
ues, clean the burners and check the gas input rate to
maintain high operating eciency and safe operation.
e service agency should make certain the system is lled 2.
with water to minimum pressure and open air vents - if
used - to expel any air that may have accumulated in the
system.
Check automatic air vents for leakage. 3.
Inspect the venting system at the start of each heating sea- 4.
son. Check the pipe from the boiler for signs of deteriora-
tion and sagging joints. Repair if necessary. Remove the
vent pipe from the boiler and check for obstructions.
Clean condensate tee & trap. 5.
Periodically check the condensate trap for water/conden- 6.
sate. e trap should always have water in it. Rell the
trap if it runs dry. If the trap runs dry then ue gasses can
escape.

It is suggested that a qualied service agency be employed to
make an annual inspection of the boiler and the heating sys-
tem. ey are experienced in making the inspection outlined
below.
In the event repairs or corrections are necessary they can make
the proper changes for safe operation of the boiler.
Periodic cleaning of the condensate collection system is re-
quired. When a condensate collection system is installed in a
venting system, it is recommended that the cleaning become
a part of the annual servicing. e procedure for cleaning this
system is as follows:
Remove tubing from condensate tee.
1.
Empty all liquid from tubing. 2.
Rinse tubing inside & out in a sink with water. 3.
If the inside of the tubing cannot be cleaned, the tubing 4.
should be replaced with the same type and size of tubing.
Add water to trap before replacing. 5.
Replace tubing as described in 6. gure #11 .
Visually inspect entire piping system and if any leaks ap- 7.
pear, have them repaired as soon as possible. DO NOT
use petroleum based stop leak compounds.
!
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation aer
service.

1. Maximum permissible gas supply pressure must not be 1.
higher and minimum supply pressure must not be lower
than what is specied on the rating plate.
2. To check for proper ow of natural gas to boiler using 2.
the gas meter, proceed as follows:
Turn o the gas supply to all other appliances, exceptA.
the boiler.
With the boiler operating, determine the ow of gasB.
through the meter for two minutes and multiply by 30
to get the hourly rate.
Divide the input rate shown on the rating plate by theC.
heating value of the gas as obtained from the lo-
cal gas company. is will determine the number of
cubic feet of gas required per hour.
If minor adjustment is necessary, install a manometerD.
on the outlet side of the gas valve. Adjust the pressure
regulator on the combination gas control. Increase
or decrease manifold pressure to obtain gas input
required as described on the rating plate. To increase,
turn the regulator adjusting screw clockwise
or counterclockwise to decrease pressure, see
gure #10.
Aer adjustment has been completed, turn the boilerE.
o and remove the manometer and the shut-o cock.
Relight all the other appliances turned o in step AF.
above. Be sure all pilot burners are operating.
