Installation Manual

46 Rinnai I-Series Condensing Boiler Solo Manual
• The boiler shall be installed such that
the gas ignion system components
are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance
operaon and service (circulator
replacement, condensate trap, control
replacement, etc.).
• A sediment trap must be provided
upstream of the gas controls.
• A manual gas shuto valve between
the gas supply and the boiler must be
installed.
• A licensed professional must install the
gas supply.
• Turn o 120V power supply.
• Turn o the gas.
• Gas is ammable. Do not smoke or
provide other ignion sources while
working with gas.
• Do not turn on the boiler or gas unl all
fumes are gone.
1. Check the type of gas and gas supply
pressure before connecng the boiler. If the
boiler is not of the gas type that the building
is supplied with, converng the gas type of
the boiler is necessary. A gas conversion kit is
included with the boiler. Refer to secon
“14.4 Gas Conversion” in the Appendix for
gas conversion instrucons.
2. Check the gas supply pressure immediately
upstream at a locaon provided by the gas
company. Supplied gas pressure must be
within the limits shown in secon “3.4
Specicaons” with all gas appliances
operang.
3. Before placing the appliance in operaon, all
joints including the heater must be checked
for gas ghtness by means of soap, gas leak
detector soluon, or an equivalent
nonammable soluon, as applicable. Since
some leak test soluons, including soap and
water, may cause corrosion or stress
cracking, the piping shall be rinsed with
water aer tesng, unless it has been
determined that the leak test soluon is
non-corrosive.
4. Use approved and appropriately sized
connectors to connect the boiler to the gas
line. Purge the gas line of any debris before
connecon to the boiler.
5. Any compound used on the threaded joint of
the gas piping shall be a type that resists the
acon of liqueed petroleum gas (propane/
LPG).
6. The gas supply line shall be gas ght, sized,
and so installed as to provide a supply of gas
sucient to meet the maximum demand of
the heater and all other gas consuming
appliances at the locaon without loss of
pressure. If in doubt about the size of the gas
line, refer to secon “6.3 Gas Pipe Sizing
Reference Tables.”
7. Perform a leak and pressure test prior to
operang the boiler. If a leak is detected, do
not operate the boiler unl the leak is
repaired.
