G. REMOVING A BOILER FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Do not install the boiler into a common vent with any other appliance. This
will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction, resulting in possible
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
When removing an existing boiler, the following steps must be followed.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to
determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies that
could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the
common venting system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes
dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn
on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
all fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or
smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
H. UNCRATING THE BOILER
UNCRATING BOILER – Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company
by the consignee.
Cold weather handling – If boiler has been stored in a very cold location (below 0 o F) before installation, handle with care until the plastic
components come to room temperature.
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the boiler to be lifted into its installation location. The boiler is also equipped with leveling
feet that can be used to level the boiler properly on an uneven location surface. If surface flooring is rough, take care when sliding boiler
into position, as you could catch the leveling feet and damage the boiler.
PART 4 – BOILER PIPING
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Never use dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings when connecting to a stainless steel storage tank or boiler. Failure to follow this
instruction can lead to premature failure of the boiler system. Such failures ARE NOT covered by warranty.
