GOLD CGa Gas-Fired Water Boiler — Boiler Manual

Prepare boiler — vent damper installation

4. Read and apply the harness plug warning label

(shown above) so that it is visible after installa-
tion.

5. Plug damper harness receptacle into damper harness

plug.

Bypassing (jumpering) vent damper

will cause flue products such as

carbon monoxide to escape into

the house. This will cause severe

personal injury or death.

After boiler has operated once, if ei-

ther end of harness is disconnected,

the system safety shutdown will oc-

cur. The boiler will not operate until

harness is reconnected.

Effikal or Field Controls damper

position

for system to operate properly.

Figure 8 Vent damper assemblies

These systems are used on gas-fired boilers with vent

dampers as shipped from factory. Boiler will not operate

without vent damper installed.

Only vent dampers listed in the Replacement parts list

on page 1 are certified for use with CGa boilers. Any
other vent damper installed could cause severe personal
injury or death.

Installation

1. Install vent damper horizontally or vertically as

shown in vent damper manufacturer’s instructions.

Vent damper must be installed so that it serves only

one boiler and so damper blade indicator is visible

to the user. See

Figure 8

.

. Screws or rivets used to secure the vent damper to

the draft hood must not interfere with rotation of

the damper blade.

3. Install damper harness between damper actuator

and knockout in jacket top panel. Use strain relief

connectors and locknuts to secure both ends of

damper harness.

Keep wiring harness clear of all hot

surfaces.

in vent

Spark-ignited pilot systems—

Refer to vent man-

ufacturer’s instructions to install plug (shipped with

damper) in damper hole. For spark-ignited pilot boilers

only, install

plug with no hole

in vent damper hole.

Minimum clearances

Provide a minimum of ” between the vent damper and

any combustible material. (Provide a minimum of 3 "

between jacket top and combustible ceiling.)

Do not

modify draft hood or vent damper, or make an-

other connection between draft hood and vent damper

or boiler except as noted below. This will void CSA

certification and
