Placement & Rigging
Proper placement of your Fulton product is essential. Attention paid to
the following points will save a great deal of diffi
culty in the future. Correct
placement is the fi rst step to trouble-free installation, operation, and
maintenance.
Adhere to the following for placement and rigging:
1. Check building specifi cations for permissible fl oor loading. Use Table 1 for
unit reference.
2. Conform to all requirements of all national, state and local codes
established by the authorities having jurisdiction and/or the U.S. National
Fuel Gas Code, latest edition. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installations are made. Where required by local codes,
the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers
(ASME CSD-1).
3. Since an external electrical source is utilized, the boiler, when installed,
must be electrically ground in accordance with the National Electric Code,
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 70, latest edition.
4. This boiler is certifi ed for indoor installation only.
5. Install so that all system components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service.
6. Install on a level, non-combustible surface in the vertical position. Concrete
is strongly recommended.
7. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance with applicable
provisions of local building codes or: USA – NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
8. Locate the boiler so that the air supply and exhaust piping between the
boiler and outside wall/roof are within the maximum lengths for horizontal
or vertical venting if sealed combustion will be used. See Clearances and
Serviceability section of this manual.
Clearances and Serviceability
Adhere to the following for clearances and serviceability:
1. All local and national codes (NFPA, ANSI, UL, CSA, ASME, ETL) must
be followed for proper clearances and serviceability for your boiler.
Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are
made.
2. Appropriate front, back, side (Figure 2), and top clearances must be
maintained. This will allow access around the equipment to facilitate
maintenance and a safe work environment. A six inch (152.4 mm) side

authorities must be consulted prior to
installation.
A competent rigger experienced in
handling heavy equipment should handle
rigging your equipment into position.
The equipment must be installed on a
non-combustible surface.
Failure to provide required and safe
access to the equipment could impede
commissioning and maintenance.
Service technicians are instructed not to
commence commissioning if hazardous
conditions exist.
Failure to provide proper minimum
clearances between equipment and
combustible materials may result in fi re.
