A
. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of
damage.
1. ALL EQUIPMENT is carefully manufactured,
inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases
upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good
condition.
2. ANY CLAIMS for damage or shortage in shipment
must be filed immediately against the carrier by the
consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage
in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer
unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt
of goods.
B . LOCATE BOILER in front of final position before
removing crate. See Figure 1. Boiler's approximate
shipping weight is 325 pounds.
1. LOCATE so that vent pipe will be short and direct.
Refer to Section V. A., General Venting Guidelines.
2. BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION
ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be
installed on carpeting.
3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a
solid base, such as concrete, if floor is not level, or if
water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
4. PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least 24”
at front of boiler for servicing.
5. For minimum clearances to combustible materials,
see Figure 2.
C . PROVIDE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY to
accommodate proper combustion of oil. Local and
national codes may apply and should be referenced.
I. Pre-Installation
1. In unconfined spaces (basement) in buildings of
conventional frame, brick, or stone construction,
infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for
combustion. An unconfined space is a space whose
volume is greater than or equal to 50 cubic feet
per 1000 BTUH of the combined input of all air
consuming appliances in the space.
2. In a confined space, combustion air may be ducted
directly from the outdoors to the burner. Refer to
Section IV for installation of air intake duct to the
burner.
D
. VENTILATION AIR must be provided to maintain the
ambient temperature at safe limits. Local and national
codes may apply and should be referenced.
1. In unconfined spaces (basement) in buildings of
conventional frame, brick, or stone construction,
infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for
ventilation.
2. In confined spaces (closet, etc.) two permanent
openings, one near the top of the enclosure and one
near the bottom, shall be provided. Each opening
shall have a free area of not less than 1 sq. inch per
1000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances in the
space.
E
. Do not install boiler where gasoline or other flammable
vapors or liquids, or sources of hydrocarbons (i.e.
bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers,
fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.
