CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Installation Warnings and Requirements
3.1.1 Appropriate Use of the Boiler
This boiler
MUST be used in the application for which it has been expressly designed. Any other
use shall be considered improper and therefore dangerous. This boiler is designed to heat water
at a temperature below the boiling point at atmospheric pressure.
3.1.2 Prerequisite System Flushing
Before installing the boiler the following actions
MUST be carried out by a competent engineer or
technician:
a) The whole system should be thoroughly flushed in order to remove any residual dirt or
grime which could compromise correct boiler operation.
b) Check that the boiler has been preset for operating with the gas type available. This is
verifiable via the data badge.
c) Check that the flue pipe has an adequate draft, does not have any constrictions or
obstructions, and that no other appliance’s flue outlets have been fitted, unless the flue
pipe is serving more than one heating appliance, according to the specific standards and
regulations in force. The connection between the boiler and flue outlet can be made only
after this verification has been carried out.
3.1.3 Installation Personnel Qualifications
The appliance
MUST be installed by a qualified engineer or technician, who complies with the
technical requirements, who, under his own responsibility, guarantees the compliance of the
standards according to the latest regulations.
The appliance must be positioned so that at least the minimum operational and servicing
clearances are provided.
The boiler must be connected to a heating system which is compatible to its performance and
output.
FOR MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS: The boiler MUST be installed by a plumber or gas
fitter licensed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
3.1.4 Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation
