BEFORE YOU START
WARNING: This manual must be read and fully
understood before installing, operation or
servicing this boiler! Failure to follow these
instructions could result in a fire or explosion
causing extensive property damage, personal
injury or death!
These instructions cover the GS110 gas fired, direct
vent, low pressure, sectional, cast iron hot water boiler.
GS110 boilers have been design certified by CSA for
use with natural and propane gas under the latest
edition of ANSI-Z21.13/CSA 4.9, Gas-Fired Low
Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers.
Each unit has been constructed and hydrostatically
tested for a maximum working pressure of 30 psi in
accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section IV for cast iron boilers. Each boiler has
been equipped with a 30 psi pressure relief valve.
This manual covers the application, installation, operation
and maintenance of a GS110 low pressure hot water boiler.
To obtain the safe, dependable, efficient operation and
long life for which this boiler was designed, these
instructions must be read, understood and followed.
Direct all questions to your Smith Cast Iron Boiler
distributor or to the Customer Service Department, 260
North Elm Street, Westfield, MA 01085. Always include
the model and serial numbers from the rating plate of
the boiler in question.
The owner should maintain a record of all service work
performed with the date and a description of the work
done. Include the name of the service organization for
future reference.
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 CSD-1.
If installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, you
MUST FOLLOW the additional instructions contained in
Hydrotherm’s instruction sheet MA IOM. If you don’t have
a copy, call your Hydrotherm distributor or Hydrotherm.
GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 3
Figure 1 - Clearances to Combustible Construction
The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1-latest revision. In Canada, the installation must
be in accordance with the requirements of CSA B149.1
or B149.2 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances
and Equipment.
BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES
Before undertaking the installation of the GS110 check
the boiler rating plate to ensure that the boiler is the
proper size for the job. The "Net I=B=R Ratings" specify
the equivalent amount of direct cast iron radiation that
the boiler can handle under normal conditions.
Also ensure that the boiler has been set up for the type
of gas available at the installation site. Other important
considerations are the availability of an adequate
electrical supply, fresh air for combustion and proximity
a suitable outside wall.
BOILER LOCATION
WARNING: The clearances to combustible
construction show in Figure 1 must be main-
tained. Failure to comply with this warning can
result in extensive property damage, severe
personal injury or death!
CAUTION: Do not lift the boiler by the jacket. Use a
hand truck under the base frame as shown in Figure 2.
1. Locate the boiler in an area that provides good
access to the unit. Keep in mind that servicing may
require the removal of jacket panels. Accessibility
clearances must take precedence over fire
protection clearances.
2. An optimum site will be level, central to the hot water
piping system, close to an outside wall and have
adequate fresh air for combustion.
3. Ensure that the floor is structurally sound and will
support the weight of the boiler.
NOTE: This boiler is designed for direct placement
on a combustible floor. Never install this boiler on
carpeting!
4. DO NOT install this boiler in a location that would
subject any of the gas ignition components to direct
contact with water or excessive moisture during
operation or servicing.
5. NEVER store objects on or around the boiler.
WARNING: Never store combustible materials,
gasoline or any product containing flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the boiler.
Failure to comply with this warning can result
in extensive property damage, severe personal
injury or death!

GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONSPage 4
All Combustion Air From Inside The Building
Older houses often have enough “leakage” to provide
an adequate amount of combustion air provided that the
demand for combustion air is not too great, Figure 3.
Homes that are relatively new or “tight” will most likely
require that the combustion be ducted to the boiler from
outside the building. Any home utilizing other gas
burning appliances, a fireplace, wood stove or any type
of exhaust fan must be checked for adequate
combustion air when all of these devices are in
operation at one time.
If the boiler is to be located in an alcove, closet or other
confined space the distances from the boiler and it's
vent system to all-combustible construction must be
equal to or greater than the minimum clearances in
Figure 1. When installed in a closet or confined space
two permanent openings of equal area adjoining another
room or rooms having sufficient volume to meet the
requirements of an unconfined space must be provided,
Figures 4 & 5. Each opening must have a minimum free
area of one square inch per 1000 Btu/hr (2200 mm
2
/
kW) based on the total input rating of all gas utilization
equipment in the confined area. Each opening must be
no less than 100 square inches (64516 mm
2
) in size.
The upper opening must be within 12 inches (305 mm)
of, but not less than 3 inches (76 mm) from, the top of
the enclosure. The bottom opening must be within 12
inches (305 mm) of, but not less than 3 inches (76 mm)
from, the bottom of the enclosure.
All Combustion Air From Outside The Building
When installed in a confined space without the intake
air option two permanent openings communicating
directly with, or by ducts to, the outdoors or spaces that
freely communicate with the outdoors must be present.
The upper opening must be within 12 inches (305 mm)
of, but not less than 3 inches (76 mm) from, the top of
the enclosure. The bottom opening must be within 12
inches (305 mm) of, but not less than 3 inches (76 mm)
from, the bottom of the enclosure.
Where directly communicating with the outdoors or
communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts,
each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in
2
/
4000 Btu/hr (550 mm2/kW) of the total input rating of
all of the equipment in the enclosure.
Where communicating with the outdoors through hori-
zontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 in
2
/2000 Btu/hr (1100 mm
2
/kW) of the total
input rating of all of the equipment in the enclosure.
When ducts are used, they must have the same cross-
sectional area as the free area of the opening to which
they connect. Sizing of an outside air duct must be
based on the total input rating of all gas utilization
equipment in the confined space.
COMBUSTION AIR & VENTILATION
WARNING: This boiler must be supplied with
combustion air in accordance with Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion & Ventilation, of the latest
revision of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and all applicable local building
codes. Canadian installations must comply with
CSA B149.1 or .2 Installation Code for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment, or
applicable provisions of the local building
codes. Failure to provide adequate combustion
air for this boiler/water heater can result in
excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can
result in severe personal injury or death!
To operate properly and safely this boiler requires a
continuous supply of air for combustion. NEVER store
objects on or around the boiler!
CAUTION: Combustion air contaminated with
fluorocarbons or other halogenated compounds
such as cleaning solvents and refrigerants will
result in the formation of acids in the combustion
chamber. These acids will cause premature failure
of the boiler voiding the warranty!
CAUTION: If the boiler is operated while the building
is under construction it MUST be protected from
wood, concrete, sheet rock and other types of dust.
Failure to properly protect the unit from
construction dust will damage the unit voiding the
warranty!
Buildings may require the installation of a fresh air duct
or other means of providing make-up air if the intake
air option isn't used. Any building utilizing other gas
burning appliances, a fireplace, wood stove or any type
of exhaust fan must be checked for adequate
combustion air when all of these devices are in
operation at one time. Sizing of an outside air duct must
be done to meet the requirements of all such devices.
WARNING: Never operate this boiler in an
environment subjected to a negative pressure
unless the air intake is connected to the
outdoors. Failure to comply with this warning
can result in excessive levels of carbon
monoxide causing severe personal injury or
death!
GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 5
When calculating the free area necessary to meet the
make-up air requirements of the enclosure,
consideration must be given to the blockage effects of
louvers, grills and screens.
Screens must have a minimum mesh size of 1/4"
(6.4mm). If the free area through a louver or grill is not
known ducts should be sized per Table 1.

See Figures 4, 5 & 9. The GS110 is listed as a Category
I appliance when vented vertically into a metal chimney
system or masonry chimney sized as listed in Table 6.
WARNING: If an appliance using any type of a
mechanical draft system operating under
positive pressure is connected to a chimney
flue, never connect any other appliances to this
flue. Doing so can result in excessive levels of
carbon monoxide which can cause severe
personal injury or death!
Chimney Inspection & Sizing
A thorough inspection of the masonry chimney must be
performed to ensure that the chimney is clean, properly
constructed and properly sized. Exterior masonry
chimneys should not be used unless properly lined to
prevent condensation and draft problems. Table 6 lists
the equivalent breeching and flue sizes required for the
boiler/water heater. When more than one appliance is
connected to the same chimney flue the flue must be
large enough to safely vent the combined output of all
of the appliances.
Table 6 - Equivalent Breeching & Chimney Size
Note: These sizes are based on a 20 foot (6.1m)
chimney height.

Always provide a minimum clearance of 6 inches
between single wall metal vent pipe and any
combustible materials. Type B1 vent may be used,
clearance between it and any combustible material must
be as listed.
WARNING: Failure to maintain minimum
clearances between vent connectors and
combustible materials can result in a fire
causing extensive property damage, severe
personal injury or death!

COMMON VENT SYSTEMS
WARNING: DO NOT connect this boiler or any
other appliance using a positive pressure
common vent system or a mechanical draft
system! Failure to comply with this WARNING
could result in the accumulation of carbon
monoxide gas which can cause severe personal
injury or death!
If an existing boiler/water heater is removed from a
common venting system, the common venting system
may then be too large for the proper venting of the
remaining appliances connected to it. At the time of
removal of an existing boiler/water heater, the following
steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system placed in
operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in
operation.
Au moment du retrait d'une chaudière existante, les
mesures suivantes doivent être prises pour chaque
appareil toujours raccordé au système d'évacuation
commun et qui fonctionne alors que d'autres appareils
toujours raccordés au système d'évacuation ne fonction-
nent pas: système d'évacuation
a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du sys-
tème d'évacuation.
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.
Inspecter de façon visuelle le système d'évacu-ation
pour déterminer la grosser et l'inclinaison
horizontale qui conviennent et s'assurer que le
système est exempt d'obstruction, d'étranglement
de fruite, de corrosion et autres défaillances qui
pourraient présenter des risques.
c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are located and other spaces of the
building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance
not connected to the common venting system. Turn
on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhaust, so they will operate at maximum
speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan for a
boiler installation. Close fireplace dampers.

WARNING: Failure to connect a condensate trap
or pump to the flue collector can result in
excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can
cause severe personal injury or death!
HEATING SYSTEM PIPING
CAUTION: All heating system piping must be
installed in accordance with the ANSI/ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV. All applicable
local codes and ordinances must also be followed.
If the boiler is installed above any radiation
elements it must be fitted with a low water cutoff
device installed above the normal boiler water level!
The GS110 hot water boiler comes from the factory
ready to be piped to the heating system. Each boiler is
equipped with a safety relief valve which must be piped
in accordance with the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section IV, see Figure 13.

CONDENSATE PIPING
A small amount of condensate is generated on start up.
To prevent an excess amount of condensate collecting
in the flue collector a condensate drain has been
provided. A condensate trap or pump MUST be
connected to the condensate fitting in the bottom of the
flue collector.
A trap can be made by tie wrapping a 4” loop in a piece
of vinyl hose attached to the condensate drain fitting.
The trap must be filled with water to prevent flue
gassses from escaping, see Figures 12 A and B.
A condensate hose has been supplied with
boiler and is located inside the literature bag.
Installing contractor will have to continue the
run of condensate to a nearby drain or pump.

GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONSPage 16
Ensure that the boiler is level from front to back and
from side to side. Use metal shims to level the boiler.
NEVER use combustible materials for shims.
Bypass Piping
CAUTION: Never connect this boiler directly to a
large volume system, in-floor radiant system, snow
melt system or any other system that would cause
the steady state water temperature in the boiler to
drop below 140° F. To prevent damage due to
excessive condensation, one of the following piping
options must be used or the boiler warranty will be
voided!
CAUTION: The blend pump arrangement shown in
Figure 16 must be used when the flow from any
zone in a multiple zone system is less than 4 GPM
or boiler short cycling on the high limit will occur!
For the three systems listed below, adjust the bypass
valve to divert some of the heated water back into the
boiler's return piping. When adjusted correctly the
temperature of the boiler water will exceed 140°F within
five minutes of a warm start. A plug valve should be
used as the bypass valve for best system performance.
NOTE: Some of the circulator's capacity will be used
in the blending process for the first two systems.
Large heating systems may require a larger
circulator.
System Bypass
The system bypass shown in Figure 14 should be used
on single zone systems, or multiple zone systems using
zone valves, when the circulator is installed in the return
piping. The bypass must be installed between the supply
and return pipes on the suction side of the circulator.
Figure 14 - System Bypass Piping
Pump Away Bypass
The system bypass shown in Figure 15 should be used
on single zone systems, or multiple zone systems using
zone valves, when the circulator is installed in the supply
piping. The bypass must be installed between the supply
and return pipes on the pressure side of the circulator.
Figure 15 - Pump Away Bypass Piping
Pumped Blend Bypass
The system bypass shown in Figure 16 should be used
on multiple zone systems. The bypass must be installed
between the supply and return pipes on the suction side
of the zone circulators. The bypass valve must be
installed on the pressure side of the bypass circulator.
Figure 16 - Pumped Bypass Piping
GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 17
Piping For Use With Cooling Units
The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigera-tion
system must be installed so the chilled medium is piped
in parallel with the boiler. Appropriate valves must be
used to prevent the chilled water from entering the
boiler.
When a boiler is connected to a heating coil that may be
exposed to refrigerated air from an air handling device, the
piping system must be equipped with flow-control valves or
some other automatic means of preventing gravity
circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
Circulators
The TACO 007 circulator supplied with the boiler is sized
for use in a closed heating system with a 30 psi
maximum operating pressure. If the 007 circulator does
not have the required capacity for the system in which
it is to be installed, an extra zone circulator or a higher
capacity circulator will be needed. Figure 17 depicts the
performance curve for the TACO 007 circulator.

GAS SUPPLY PIPING
The GS110 hot water boiler comes from the factory
ready to be piped to the gas supply. The gas supply can
be piped from the left or right side of the boiler.
If for any reason the boiler is not for the type of gas
available at the installation site, call the nearest Smith
Cast Iron Boiler distributor to resolve the problem.
Figure 18 depicts the proper way to connect the boiler
to the gas supply piping. The manual shut-off valve
MUST be installed in the supply piping. It should be
approximately 5 feet above the floor. Provide a sediment
trap/drip leg at the bottom of the vertical section of the
gas supply pipe. A ground joint union should be installed
between the boiler gas controls and the supply piping.
Each of these items is needed to ensure long life and
ease of servicing. Always use a pipe sealant that is
suitable for use with LP gas.
Figure 18 - Gas Supply Piping
CAUTION: Always use a wrench on the gas valve
body when making gas connections to it. Never
over-tighten the piping entering the gas valve body
or the gas valve will be damaged!
Table 8 should be used to ensure that the gas supply
piping is sized properly. If more than one appliance is
supplied by the same supply pipe, the piping must be
sized based on the maximum possible demand. Do not
neglect the pressure drop due to pipe fittings. Table 9
should be used in conjunction with Table 8 to ensure
that the gas supply piping is sized properly.
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met
with the gas manifold and control assembly provided on
the boiler when the boiler underwent tests specified in
ANSI Z21.13. All gas connections MUST be leak tested
before putting the boiler into operation.
Table 8 - Gas Pipe Capacity
Table 9 - Equivalent Pipe Length Chart
Whenever the gas supply piping is pressure tested the
boiler gas controls must be protected. If the test pres-
sure is equal to, or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) isolate
the boiler by closing it's manual shut off valve, see
Figure 18. If the test pressure is greater than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa), disconnect the boiler and it's individual shut-
off valve from the gas supply piping.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for
gas leaks. Always use an approved leak
detection method. Failure to comply with this
WARNING could result in an explosion!
ELECTRICAL WIRING
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation!
ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien des
commandes, étiquetez tous les fils avant de les
débrancher. Des erreurs de câblage peuvent
entraîner un fonctionnement inadéquat et
dangereux. S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne
adéquatement une fois l'entretirn terminé.
The electrical connections to this boiler/water heater
must be made in accordance with all applicable local
codes and the latest revision of the National Electrical

installed in Canada. Install a separate 120 volt 15 amp
circuit for the boiler. A properly rated shut-off switch
should be located at the boiler. The boiler must be
grounded in accordance with the authority having
jurisdiction, or if none, the latest revision of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
Line voltage field wiring of any controls or other devices
must use copper conductors with a minimum size of #14
awg. Low voltage wiring must not be less than #18 awg
with a neoprene, thermoplastic or other equivalent
insulation having a minimum insulation thickness of
0.012 inches.
Refer to Figures 19A and 19B for proper wiring
connections.
Thermostat Installation
ALWAYS follow the instructions included with the ther-
mostat to be used to control the boiler. Proper location
of the thermostat will ensure efficient trouble-free
operation of the boiler. Mount the thermostat to an inside
wall at a height approximately five feet above the floor.
Avoid placing the thermostat in areas that will not pro-
vide an accurate measurement of the room temperature.
Locating the thermostat behind a door, in an alcove,
close to a source of thermal radiation or in a drafty area
will cause poor or sporadic heating.
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
The control energizes the circulator motor when the
thermostat contacts are closed. The control then checks
that the limit switch is closed, if not the control will wait
for the limit switch to close. With the limit switch closed
the pressure switch contacts are checked. If the
pressure switch contacts are open the blower motor is
energized. If the pressure switch contacts aren’t open
the control will wait 45 seconds then lock out. The
PURGE light will flash to indicate a pressure switch fault.
Also, if the pressure switch does not close within 5
minutes of the blower being turned on, the control will
lock out with the PURGE light flashing to indicate a
pressure switch fault.
The pre-purge period begins when the pressure switch
contacts close. At the end of the pre-purge period, the
control energizes the HSI igniter for an HSI warm-up
period. This condition will be indicated by illumination of
the IGNITER light. A one second trial for ignition will take
place. In the event ignition is not achieved by the end of
the first trial for ignition period, the control will run through
a post purge and then de-energize the inducer. When
the pressure switch contacts open the control will begin
a new ignition sequence. Failure to establish flame after
the third attempt will result in ignition lock-out and the
VALVE light on the control will flash.
Once the flame has been proven, the system is in
Steady-State heating mode. The control will continuously
monitor the thermostat, limit switch, pressure switch, and
flame sense. If the thermostat opens, the control will
de-energize the gas valve and begin post-purge. If the
limit switch opens, the control will de-energizes the gas
valve, run through post-purge, and wait for the limit
switch to re-close before attempting re-ignition. If flame
is lost, the control will de-energize the gas valve, run
through post-purge, and go to pressure switch proving
mode for re-ignition. If the pressure switch opens for
more than 0.1 seconds the inducer is turned off for 30
seconds, then the control goes to the pressure switch
proving mode for a re-ignition attempt.
When the thermostat is satisfied the post purge period
starts. A post-purge will be performed at any time the
gas valve has been on and is turned off, except for loss
of pressure switch, when a post-purge would be
ineffective. The post-purge must be completed before a
new ignition sequence can start.
In the event that the flame signal is lost after the flame
has been proven, the system will turn off the gas valve
within 2.0 seconds, perform the post-purge, and repeat
the ignition sequence. As a preventative measure to
avoid nuisance shutdown due to a flickering flame, the
flame must be lost for a minimum of 0.5 seconds.
Control Outputs:
Induced draft blower - 1.75 Amps @ 120 VAC.
Circulator Pump - 2.7 Amps @ 120 VAC.
Hot Surface Igniter - 5.0 Amp resistive @ 120 VAC.
Gas Valve - 0.6 Amp @ 24 VAC, 0.45 power factor.
