INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Unipower GB -Series are not intended
for outdoor installation and must be protected from
excessive moisture. Provide adequate clearance for
service and proper operation.
I VENTILATION
Open basements will generally allow sufficient air
infiltration, so special provisions will seldom be required. If
the heating plant is located in a separate furnace room or
in an unusually tight basement, permanent means must be
provided to supply an ample volume of fresh air for
combustion and boiler room ventilation. A direct opening
to the outside air should be provided sized on the basis of
1/2 square foot of free opening for each 1,000,000 BTU of
burner rating when the vent connector is equipped with a
barometric draft control, 1 1/2 square feet when equipped
with a draft hood. If the ventilation opening is screened, it
should be of 1-1/4" mesh. The opening should be located
at least six feet over ground level to prevent accidental
obstruction. If a direct opening to the outside air is not
available, an ample sized air duct can be run to the
nearest outside air source; or, if practical, open stairwells
or building corridors connecting to an outside wall having a
ventilating opening can be used for this purpose, provided
that no possibility of accidental closure exists.
While the spark ignition pilot system performs successfully
under moderate or momentary back draft conditions, it is
not intended for operation under sustained reverse draft,
for example in a building with large ventilating fans but with
insufficient make-up air. Even if burner operation is
successful this condition must be corrected to prevent the
hazard of drawing flue gases into the building.
Consult your local gas company when doubt exists
concerning boiler room ventilation.

TABLE 1
Burner Specifications
1.
Values given based on +0.000" W.C. firebox pressure, altitudes to 2000 feet. Derate burner for altitudes over 2000
feet by 4% for each 1000 feet over sea level.
2.
Maximum inlet pressure both gases: 14" W.C. Refer to Section VI Piping for high pressure.
3.
Modulating and two-step burners are limited to a 3 to 1 turndown ratio.
4.
Manifold pressures are approximate and will vary slightly according to job condition. See Section VII para. 11.
5.
Pressures are based on 25% excess combustion air.
6.
SCFM = Standard Cubic Feet/Minute.
