ƽ WARNING
This appliance is certified as an indoor
appliance. Do not install the appliance
outdoors or locate where the appliance will
be exposed to freezing temperatures or to
temperatures that exceed 100°F (37.8°C).
Failure to install the appliance indoors
could result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
1
Determine boiler location
The SYNC gas manifold and controls
met safe lighting and other performance
criteria when the boiler underwent tests
specified in ANSI Z21.13 – latest edition.
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections should
leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable
drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the
appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air
flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be
held responsible for water damage in connection with
this appliance, or any of its components.
3. Check area around the boiler. Remove any combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
Closet and alcove installations
This appliance requires a special venting
system. Use only the vent materials, primer
and cement specified in this manual to
make the vent connections. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire,
personal injury, or death.
For closet and alcove installations as
shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2, CPVC or
stainless steel vent material must be used
inside the structure. The ventilating air
openings shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 are
required for this arrangement. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire,
personal injury, or death.
ƽ WARNING
NOTICE
ƽ WARNING
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free
of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids and vapors can
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
4. The SYNC must be installed so that gas control system
components are protected from dripping or spraying
water or rain during operation or service.
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check for
and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger
cracks from hard water deposits.
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
• Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing system
and boiler to freeze and leak.
Provide clearances:
Clearances from combustible materials
1. Hot water pipes – at least 1/4" (6 mm) from combustible
materials.
2. Vent pipe – at least 1" (25 mm) from combustible
materials.
3. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for other clearance
minimums.
Clearances for service access
1. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for recommended
service clearances. If you do not provide the minimum
clearances shown, it may not be possible to service the
boiler without removing it from the space.
ƽ WARNING
A closet is any room the boiler is installed in which is less than
778 cubic feet for SB1000 models, 847 cubic feet for SB1300
models, and 914 cubic feet for SB1500 models.
An alcove is any room which meets the criteria for a closet
with the exception that it does not have a door.
Example: Room dimensions = 9 feet long, 9 feet wide, and
9 foot ceiling = 9 x 9 x 9 = 729 cubic feet. This would be
considered a closet for a SYNC Boiler.
