(continued)
Inspect installation site
Verify combustion/ventilation air openings (continued)
When sizing air openings for combustion and ventilation,
include air required for exhaust fans and other appliances,
such as clothes driers, that require air for operation.
Check appliance manual and applicable codes for required sizing of com-
bustion and ventilation air openings.
• Verify that openings are unobstructed.
• Verify that appliance space and air source spaces are free of:
– Gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors.
– Combustible materials.
– Air contaminants, such as laundry products, paint, thinner, varnish,
etc.
• Confirm with user that the area will be kept free of these materials at
all times.
Verify clearances
• Verify that the burner/appliance will maintain all clearances to combus-
tible walls or floor and all clearances required for service/maintenance
as required in the appliance manual and applicable codes.
Prepare the appliance
Burner input: Install a gas burner sized for the normal input
rating of the appliance. Do not install a burner with a higher
firing rate than the appliance rating. Do not install a burner
with a firing rate more than 10% lower than the appliance
rating. The appliance and vent system could be damaged
due to condensation.
Seal the appliance: Seal all flue-gas containing joints. Seal
all connections to the vent piping for breeching.
Clean the appliance: Clean the appliance thoroughly and
seal all joints. Test all electrical components and verify the
relief valve works (boilers only).
Verify combustion chamber dimensions comply with the
minimum dimensions shown in Figure 3, page 7. Install or
replace combustion chamber liner if required by the appliance
manufacturer. The burner must not extend into the combus-
tion chamber. The end of the burner air tube must be within
¼” of the inside face of the combustion chamber. If the space
around the burner air tube is more than ¼”, wrap the burner
air tube with minimum 2300-°F-rated ceramic fiber blanket
to seal off the gap.
Repair or replace damaged appliance components.
Inspect the appliance thoroughly. Follow appliance manufac-
turer’s guidelines for repair or replacement of any component
found defective.
When cleaning the appliance or working with
ceramic fiber
refractories or fiberglass insulation, see WARNING on this
page. Failure to comply with the above could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Prepare appliance for burner mounting
The universal flange supplied with EZGas Pro burners
is for firing chambers with negative or positive over-
fire pressure. The flange should be sealed with high
temperature silicone. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
See page 19 for required dimensions and bolt locations.
Ceramic fiber or
Fiberglass insulation
Ceramic fiber materials, such as chamber liners,
may contain carcinogenic particles (chrysto-
balites) after exposure to heat. Airborne particles
from fiberglass or ceramic fiber components have
been listed as potentially carcinogenic by the
State of California. Take the following precautions
when removing, replacing and handling these
items.
Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with
skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting
clothing, gloves and eye protection. Use a NIOSH
N95 certified respirator. This respirator meets
requirements for protection from chrystobalites.
Actual job requirements or NIOSH regulations
may require other or additional protection. For
information, refer to the NIOSH website, http://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
Ceramic fiber removal: To prevent airborne dust,
thoroughly wet ceramic fiber with water before
handling. Place ceramic fiber materials in a plastic
bag and seal to dispose.
Avoid blowing, tearing, sawing or spraying
fiberglass or ceramic fiber materials. If such op-
erations are necessary, wear extra protection to
prevent breathing dust.
Wash work clothes separately from other laun-
dry. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly afterwards
to prevent contamination of other clothing.
NIOSH First aid procedures:
Eye exposure — irrigate immediately
Breathing — fresh air.
