GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
is manual includes information which will help you to
install, operate, and maintain the 1600, 2000, 2500, 3000,
3500 and 4000 MBH systems. Please read this manual
completely before proceeding with the installation. If
you have any questions regarding this equipment, please
consult the manufacturer, or a local manufacturer’s
representative. Many operating problems are caused by
improper installation.
Primary information regarding your unit can be found
on the Rating Plate which is on the outside face of the
right-side panel.
1.2 Safety Notes
DANGER
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of
being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at
heating appliance.
Feel water before
bathing or showering.
If this appliance is used
to produce water that
could scald if too hot,
such as domestic hot water
use, adjust the outlet
control (limit) or use temperature limiting valves to
obtain a maximum water temperature of 125°F (52°C).
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Improper conguration can cause fuel buildup and
explosion. Improper user operation may result in
property loss, severe physical injury, or death.
Any changes to safety-related conguration parameters
must only be done by experienced and/or licensed
burner/boiler operators and mechanics.
If any odor of gas is detected, or if the gas burner does
not appear to be functioning in a normal manner, close
the main gas shuto valve. Do not shut o the power
switch. Contact your heating contractor, gas company,
or factory representative.
e unit is protected against over-pressurization. A
pressure relief valve is included with each unit.
e inlet gas pressure to the appliance must not exceed 13”
W.C. (3.2 kPa).
All installations must be made in accordance with
1) American National Standard Z223.1/NFPA54-Latest
Edition “National Fuel Gas Code” or
2) CSA B149.1 “Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code” and with the requirement of the local utility or
other authorities having jurisdiction. Such applicable
requirements take precedence over the general instructions
contained herein.
WARNING

3.4 Locating the Vent and Combustion
Air Terminals
3.4.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal
The appropriate side wall vent terminal must be
used. The terminal must be located in accordance
with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and applicable local
codes. In Canada, the installation must be in
accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local
applicable codes.
Consider the following when installing the terminal:
1. Figure 5 on page 15 shows the requirements
for mechanical vent terminal clearances for the
U.S. and Canada.
2. Vent terminals for condensing appliances or
appliances with condensing vents are not
permitted to terminate above a public walkway,
or over an area where condensate or vapor
could create a nuisance or hazard.
3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases
cannot be drawn into air conditioning system
inlets.
4. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases
cannot enter the building through doors,
windows, gravity inlets or other openings.
Whenever possible, avoid locations under
windows or near doors.
5. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot
be blocked by snow. The installer may
determine that a vent terminal must be
higher than the minimum shown in codes,
Figure 3. Test Port
Page 14
*When vent terminal is less than 10 feet (3 m) horizontally
from a forced air inlet, the terminal must be at least 3 feet
(0.9 m) above the air inlet. (US only)

determine it should be higher, depending upon
local conditions.
4. If the Unit is side-wall vented to the same wall,
use Figure 5 to determine the proper mounting
locations.
5. Multiple vent kits should be installed such that
the horizontal distance between outlet group
and inlet group is 84” (213 cm). (See Figure 6)
6. The vent outlet must be at least 12” above the top
of the air inlet, and must be at least 84(213 cm)
horizontally from the air inlet. (See Figure 6).
3.4.3 Vertical Vent Terminal
When the unit is vented through the roof, the vent
must extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m) above the point at
which it penetrates the roof. It must extend at least
2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any portion of a building
within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3.0 m), and
high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage
from snow. The vent terminal offered with the Unit can
be used in both vertical and horizontal applications.
When the combustion air is taken from the roof, the
combustion air must terminate at least 12” (30 cm)
below the vent terminal.

supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be
used to prevent entry of rain water. The opening on
the end of the terminal must be at least 12” (30 cm)
above the point at which it penetrates the roof, and
high enough above the roof line to prevent blockage
from snow. When the vent terminates on the roof, the
combustion air must terminate at least 12” (30 cm)
below the vent terminal.

IMPORTANT: All terminals must be placed so that they remain at least 12”
above the expected snow line. Local codes may have more specic
requirements, and must be consulted. Refer to the NFPA54 National Fuel Gas
Code and your local codes for all required clearances for venting.

6. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust
does not settle on building surfaces or other
nearby objects. Vent exhaust bi-products may
damage surfaces or objects.
7. If the boiler or water heater uses ducted
combustion air from an intake terminal located
on the same wall, see See Figure 6 and Figure
5 for proper spacing and orientation.
3.4.2 Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal
Consider the following when installing the terminal.
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a
source of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g.,
FOHDQLQJÀXLGFKORULQHFRPSRXQGVHWF
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject
to damage by accident or vandalism. It must be
at least 7 feet ( 2.1 m) above a public walkway.
3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it
cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel
Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches
(30 cm) above grade, but the installer may

3.4.5 Installations in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts
In Massachusetts the following items are required if
the side-wall exhaust vent termination is less than

of the venting, including but not limited to decks
and porches. (From Massachusetts Rules and
regulations 248 CMR 5.08.)
1. Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors
At the time of installation of the side wall vented
gas fueled appliance, the installing plumber

the gas appliance is to be installed. In addition,
WKHLQVWDOOLQJSOXPEHURUJDV¿WWHUVKDOOREVHUYH
that a battery operated or hard-wired carbon
monoxide detector with an alarm is installed on
each additional level of the dwelling, building
or structure served by the side-wall horizontally
vented gas fueled equipment. It shall be the
responsibility of the property owner to secure
WKHVHUYLFHVRITXDOL¿HGOLFHQVHGSURIHVVLRQDOV
for installation of hard-wired carbon monoxide
detectors.
a. In the event that the side-wall horizontally
vented gas fueled equipment is installed in a
crawl space or an attic, the hard-wired carbon
monoxide with alarm and battery back-up may

b. In the event that the requirements of the
subdivision cannot be met at the time of
completion of installation, the owner shall have
a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the
above requirements, provided, however, that
during said thirty (30) day period, a battery
operated carbon monoxide detector with an
alarm be installed.
2. Approved Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Each carbon monoxide detector shall comply
with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and
,$6FHUWL¿HG
3. Signage
$PHWDORUSODVWLFLGHQWL¿FDWLRQSODWHVKDOOEH
permanently mounted to the exterior of the
building at a minimum height of eight (8) feet
above grade directly in line with the exhaust
vent terminal for horizontally vented gas fueled
heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall
read, in print no less than one-half (1/2) inch in
size: “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW, KEEP
CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.”
4. Inspection
The state or local gas inspector of the side-
wall horizontally vented gas fueled appliance
shall not approve the installation unless, upon
inspection, the inspector observes carbon
monoxide detectors and signage installed in
accordance with the provisions of 248 CMR
5.08(2)(a) 1-4.
3.5 Common Vent Test
Note -This section does not describe a method for
common venting the units. It describes what must
be done when a unit is removed from a common
vent system. Units require special vent systems
and fans for common vent. Contact the factory if
you have questions about common venting units.
When an existing boiler is removed from a common
venting system, the common venting system is likely
to be too large for proper venting of the appliances
remaining connected to it.
