6 III Before Installing 1) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in strict accordance with this manual and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. • In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual and the Nationa[...]

7 4 ) The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible. 5) Do not install this boiler over carpeting. 6) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad. V Air for Combustion and V entilation Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution. Provisio[...]

8 b. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is: Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft) In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are installed between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consi[...]

9 For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction 1 ) Openings must be installed between the boiler room and the outdoors or a ventilated space, such as an attic or crawl space, which communicates directly with the outdoors. 2) Two openings are required. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling. The bottom edge of the[...]

10 VI V enting Vent installation must be in accordance with local building codes, or the local authority having jurisdiction, or Chapters 7 an d 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code , NFPA 54/ANSI Z 223.1. Typical vent installation is illustrated by Figure 8. The components of vent installation are boiler draft diverter, vent damper, vent connector and[...]

11 2 ) Acceptable Vent Connectors - The following may be used for vent connectors: • Listed type B or L Gas Vent • Single Wall Galvanized Pipe - Use 0.018” (26 gauge or heavier). The size and location of the chimney may not permit the use of a single wall connector in some cases. See Chapter 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code. Do not use single[...]

12 7 ) Do not connect the boiler into a chimney flue serving an open fireplace or other solid fuel appliance. 8 ) Prior to boiler installation, inspect chimney for obstructions or other defects and correct as required. Clean chimney as necessary. 9) Vent pipe should slope upward from draft diverter not less than one inch in four feet. No portion of[...]

13 connected to the common venting system are not in operation. a ) Seal any unused opening in the common venting system. b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition. c ) Insofar as pract[...]

14 VIII System Piping Standard Piping Figure 11 shows typical boiler system connections on a single zone system. Additional information on hydronic system design may be found in Installation of Residential Hydronic Systems (Pub. #200) published by the Hydronics Institute in Berkeley Heights, NJ. The components in this system and their purposes are [...]

15 6) Low Water Cut-Off (Required in some situations) - A low water cutoff is required when the boiler is installed above radiation. In addition, some codes such as ASME CSD-1 require low water cutoffs. Codes may also require that this low water cutoff have a manual reset function. The low water cutoff may be a float type or probe type, but must be[...]

16 2) Large Water Volume Systems - The piping shown in Figure 13 will minimize the amount of time that the boiler operates with return temperatures below 120°F on these systems. A bypass is installed as shown to divert some supply water directly into the return water. The bypass pipe should be the same size as the supply. The two throttling valves[...]

17 FIGURE 13: BOILER BYPASS PIPING FIGURE 14: ISOLATION OF BOILER FROM SYSTEM WITH A HEAT EXCHANGER 5) Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel as shown i n Figure 15. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler. 6) Air Handlers - Where the boiler[...]

18 IX W iring Single Zone Wiring 1) 120 V olt W iring - The boiler should be provided with its own 15A branch circuit with fused disconnect. All 120 volt connections are made inside the L8148E aquastat relay as follows (also see Fig. 16 or 17): • Hot (“black”) - T erminal “L1” • Neutral (“white”) - T erminal “L2” • Ground (“[...]

20 Wiring V ariations 1) Multiple Circulator Zones – Figure 18 shows wiring for two or more circulator zones using Honeywell R845As. One R845A is required for each circulator zone. Circulator terminals “C1” and “C2” on the L8148E are not used. A DPST Honeywell RA832A may be substituted in place of the R845A using the “X” and “X” t[...]

Assuming that there is no call for heat, and that the damper[...]

22 Sequence of Operation, Intermittent Ignition 1) When the boiler is ener gized, 24 volts is immediately applied to terminals “1” (blue) and “4” (yellow) on the vent damper . Assuming that there is no call for heat, and that the damper switch is in the “automatic” position, the damper will close. 2) A call for heat from the thermostat [...]

23 X Start-up and Checkout Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler: 1 ) Make sure that the boiler and system are filled with water. 2 ) Check all new gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. See Part 4 of the National Fuel Gas Code for additional information on testing and purging gas lines. 3 [...]

24 1 3 ) Run gas valve safety shutdown test: • For standing pilot boiler models, disconnect the thermocouple from gas valve. Both pilot burner and main burners should stop firing. • For intermittent ignition boiler models, with main burners firing, disconnect ignition cable from ignition module. Both pilot burner and main burners should stop fi[...]

25 20) After the boiler has operated for approximately 30 minutes, check the boiler and heating system piping for leaks. Repair any leaks found at once. 21) Inspect the vent system for flue gas leaks. Repair any leaks found before leaving the boiler in operation.
