Operating instructions

I. Pre-Installation
A. Inspect shipment carefully for any signs of damage. All
equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected and
packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of
boiler to carrier in good condition. Any claim for damage
or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately
against carrier by consignee. No claims for variances or
shortages will be allowed by Boiler Manufacturer,
unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of
equipment.
B. Installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such
requirements, installation must conform to the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/
CGA B149 Installation Codes.. Where required by the
authority having jurisdiction, the installation must
conform to the Standard for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME
No. CSD-1.
C. Appliance is design certified for installation on
combustible flooring. Boiler must not be installed on
carpeting.
D. Provide clearance between boiler jacket and
combustible material in accordance with local fire
ordinance. See Figure 3 for minimum listed clearance to
combustible material. Recommended service clearance is
24 inches from left side, right side, and front. Additional
clearance may be required on left side if optional
tankless heater is installed. Service clearances may be
reduced to minimum clearances to combustible
materials.
E. Install boiler on level floor as close to chimney as
possible. For basement installation provide a solid base,
such as concrete, steel or masonry if floor is not level or
if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.
F. Protect gas ignition system components from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation
and service (circulator replacement, control replacement,
etc.).
G. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with applicable provisions of local building codes, or
the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation; or
CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes, Sections 7.2, 7.3 or
7.4.
The following guideline is based on the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms
communicating directly with space (through
openings not furnished with doors) are considered
part of space.
Volume [ft³] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]
2. Determine Total Input of all appliances in space.
Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).
3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total
Input.
a. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³ per 1,000
Btuh, space is considered an unconfined space.
b. If result is less than 50 ft³ per 1,000 Btuh, space is
considered a confined space.
4. Determine building type. A building of unusually
tight construction has the following characteristics:
a. Walls and ceiling exposed to outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a
rating of 1 perm or less with openings gasketed
and sealed, and
b. Weather-stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and
NOTICE
Due to the low water content of the boiler,
mis-sizing of the boiler with regard to the
heating system load will result in excessive
boiler cycling and accelerated component
failure. Burnham DOES NOT warrant failures
caused by mis-sized boiler applications. DO
NOT oversize the boiler to the system.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage or personal injury.
