CSD-1 Field Testing of High Limit Switches for Vitodens boilers – where required by law.
VIESSMANN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT THE FOLLOWING TEST PROCEDURE MAY RESULT
IN BY OVERHEATING THE SYSTEM.
The Vitodens 100/200 boilers are equipped with flow switches that when activated disable or enable the burner to
operate.
The fixed high limit, when tripped, produces a fault that will require manual reset of the boiler control.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #1:
- Close the boiler valve and jumper across the flow switch.
- Run the boiler at high fire and it will shut down by the coding card (in B2TA models, set coding address 06 to
maximum) but should continue to stack the boiler temperature until the fixed high limit is tripped.
- Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #2:
- Throttle the boiler valve to a point where the burner will run with as little flow as possible.
- Run the boiler to high fire via relays test.
- When the burner shuts down on the electronic limit, close the ball valve to stop the flow.
- The boiler temperature should continue a steady increase to trip the fixed high limit.
- Once the fixed high limit is tripped, slowly open the boiler valve to safely cool the boiler down.
Fixed High Limit fault simulation #3:
- Remove one of the wires connected to limit switch, this will produce a fault in the boilers control that requires
manual reset.

Vitodens 222-F, B2TA 19 and 35 Installation
Mechanical Room
General Information
During the early stages of designing a new home, we recommend that proper consideration be given to constructing a
separate mechanical room dedicated to the gas- or oil-fired heating equipment and domestic hot water storage tank(s).
The boiler must be located in a heated indoor area, near a floor drain, and as close as possible to a wall. Whenever
possible, install the boiler near an outside wall so that it is easy to duct the venting system to the boiler.
Ensure that the boiler location does not interfere with the proper circulation of combustion and ventilation air of other
fuel burning equipment within the mechanical room (if applicable).
The maximum room temperature of the mechanical room where the boiler is located must not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
HEnsure ambient temperatures are higher than 32°F
(0°C) and lower than 104°F (40°C).
HPrevent the air from becoming contaminated by
halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. as contained in paint
solvents or cleaning fluids) and excessive dust (e.g.
through grinding or polishing work). Combustion air
for the heating process, and ventilation of the boiler
room must be free of corrosive contaminants. To that
end, any boiler must be installed in an area that has no
chemical exposure. The list to the right indicates the
main, currently known sources.
HAvoid continuously high levels of humidity (e.g. through
frequent drying of laundry).
HNever close existing ventilation openings.
Sources of combustion and ventilation air contaminants
Areas likely to contain contaminants:
HNew building construction
HSwimming pools
HRemodelling areas, hobby rooms
HGarages with workshops
HFurniture refinishing areas
HDry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
HAuto body shops
HRefrigeration repair shops
HMetal fabrication plants
HPlastic manufacturing plants
HPhoto processing plants
HBeauty salons
Products containing contaminants:
HChlorine-type bleaches, detergents and cleaning
solvents found in household laundry rooms
HPaint and varnish removers
HHydrochloric acid, muriatic acid
HChlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
HSpray cans containing chlorofluorocarbons
HChlorinated waxes and cleaners
HCements and glues
HRefrigerant leaks
HCalcium chloride used for thawing
HSodium chloride used for water softening salt
HPermanent wave solutions
HAdhesives used to fasten building products and other
similar items
HAntistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
WARNING
If you notice fire coming from the appliance, call the fire
department immediately! Do not attempt to extinguish
the fire unless qualified to do so.
WARNING
Fire causes a risk of burns and explosion!
HShut down the boiler
HClose fuel shut-off valves
HUse a tested fire extinguisher, class ABC.
IMPORTANT
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces,
such as the casing and fan housing, is directly influenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In
such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from
sea spray, coupled with relative humidity, can lead to
degradation of the exposed metallic surfaces mentioned
above. Therefore, it is imperative that boilers installed
in such environments not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such
boilers must be installed using room air dependent vent
systems; i.e. using room air for combustion. The indoor
air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence,
potential corrosion will be minimized.
Installation area conditions
WARNING
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the
heating system and put safe operation at risk.

Set-up
Before Set-up
Note: The Vitodens 222-F, B2TA boiler has passed the
zero inches vent clearance to combustibles testing
requirements dictated by the boiler Harmonized
Standard ANSI Z21.13. CSA 4.9.2012 and
therefore is listed for zero clearance to combustibles
when vented with a single-wall UL/ULC certified
special venting system. The zero inches vent
clearance to combustibles for the Vitodens boiler
supercedes the clearance to combustibles listing
that appears on the special venting system label.
The back or side clearance shall be increased if
piping installation is required.
Before placing boiler in its installation location, ensure all
necessary accessories are installed.
Minimum Clearances
CAUTION
The boiler must be installed in such a way that gas
ignition system components are protected from water
(spraying, splashing, etc.) during boiler operation and
service.
Table 1 Clearances
Top Front Rear Left Right Vent pipe
00ALCL0000
Recommended minimum service clearances
For typical Vitodens installations, Viessmann recommends
installing the boiler with the clearances shown in the
illustration on the left.
Note: The 12 in. (305 mm) side clearance specified is
only recommended to be able to view the boiler
certified rating plate, decal and also accommodate
the PRV installation kit.
The 2” (50 mm) clearance shown is to connect the
discharge pipe on either the left or right side of the boiler
for the pressure relief valve or the DHW tank temperature
and pressure valve.
This reduced clearance is also used in Vitodens multiple
boiler installation system as described in
the multiple boiler installation instructions.
The Vitodens 222-F, B2TA boiler is approved for closet
and alcove installation with the following clearances to
combustibles.
AL = Alcove
CL = Closet
Mechanical Room (continued)
Boiler operation in marine environments (damp, salty
coastal areas)
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces,
such as the casing and fan housing, is directly influenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine environments.
IMPORTANT In such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides
from sea spray, coupled with relative humidity, can
lead to degradation of the exposed metallic surfaces
mentioned above. Therefore, it is imperative that boilers
installed in such environments not be installed using direct
vent systems which draw outdoor air for combustion.
Such boilers must be installed using room air dependent
vent systems; i.e. using room air for combustion. The
indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity and,
hence, potential corrosion will be minimized.

Gas connection and piping
1. Refer to current CAN/CSA B149.1 and .2 or National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, as well as
local codes for gas piping requirements and sizing.
Pipe size to the boiler must be determined based on:
- pipe length
- number of fittings
- type of gas
- maximum input requirements of all gas appliances
in the residence.
CAUTION
Ensure that gas piping is large enough for all appliances in
the residence. No noticeable gas pressure drop in the gas
line must occur when any unit (or combination of units)
lights or runs.
IMPORTANT
Design piping layout in such a way that piping does not
interfere with serviceable components.
IMPORTANT
Max. gas supply pressure: 14 “w.c.
WARNING
The gas supply piping must be leak tested before placing
the boiler in operation.
2. Before connecting boiler to gas line, install ground
joint union, capped drip leg and a manual equipment
shutoff valve as shown. Valves must be listed by a
nationally recognized testing agency. Make boiler gas
connection as shown (choose one of three locations).
3. Perform gas piping pressure test as described in the
following subsection.
4. Identify shutoff valves as such with a tab and
familiarize operator / ultimate owner of boiler with
these valves.
IMPORTANT
The Vitodens 222-F B2TA has a factory pre-installed
flexible gas line for left, right or vertical installation.
See Vitodens 222-F B2TA Service Instructions
for applicable system coding information.

Gas piping pressure test
When performing the gas piping pressure test, ensure the
following requirements are met.
1. Isolate the boiler from the gas supply piping system
using the individual manual shutoff valve during
pressure tests equal to or less than ½ psig (14 “w.c.)
2. The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of ½ psig (14 “w.c.)
3. Perform leak test.
Use approved liquid spray solution for bubble test.
Ensure that no liquid is sprayed on any electrical
components, wires or connectors. Do not allow
leak detection fluid to contact gas valve regulator
or regulator vent opening.
4. Correct any and all deficiencies.
5. Remove air from gas line.
IMPORTANT
½ psig = 14 “w.c.
WARNING
Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.
WARNING
Exposing boiler gas pressure regulator and gas valve to
extreme pressures renders warranty null and void.
Flue gas connection
Connect the balanced flue.
