NOTE: A gray background is applied to pages where the installation instructions apply exclusively to
units with wood brickmould.
Throughout these instructions DPR equals “For
Design Pressure Rating”. Any procedure so titled
must be completed to maintain the rating validity.
Non-DPR is for installations not requiring
maintenance of design pressure ratings. In this
case you can follow procedures for either DPR or
non-DPR.
