Ratings

Notes:

1.

The ratings are based on standard test procedures
prescribed by the United States Department of Energy.

2.

Net I=B=R ratings are based on net installed radiation of
sufficient quantity for the requirements of the building and
nothing need be added for normal piping and pickup.
Ratings are based on a piping and pickup allowance of 1.15.

3.

Knight XL boilers require special gas venting. Use only the
vent materials and methods specified in the Knight XL
Installation and Operation Manual.

4.

Standard Knight XL boilers are equipped to operate from

sea level to 4,500 feet only with no adjustments. The boiler
will de-rate by 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level up to
4,500 feet.

5.

High altitude Knight XL boilers are equipped to operate
from 3,000 to 12,000 feet only with no field adjustments.
The boiler will de-rate by 2% for each 1,000 feet above

different control module for altitude operation, but the
operation given in this manual remains the same as the
standard boilers. A high altitude label (as shown in FIG. A)
is also affixed to the unit.
