1 . As an Energy Star Partner, Weil-McLain has determined
that Ultra boilers meet the Energy Star guidelines for energy
efficiency.
2. Based on standard test procedures prescribed by the United
States Department of Energy.
3. 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. An additional allowance should be made for unusual
piping and pickup loads.
4. Ultra boilers require special venting, consistent with
Category IV boiler. Use only the vent materials and
methods specified in Ultra vent supplements. Ultra boilers
must be direct-vented. Ultra-230 can be vented with either
3" or 4" vent pipe. Vent length limits for 3" vent are not as
long as for 4" vent.
