SECTION 1.
General Information
1A. Introduction
This manual provides information necessary for
the installation, operation, and maintenance of the
Laars Mini-Therm model JV low pressure, copper
tube hydronic boilers. These boilers are available
in two congurations; the JVH has a hot surface
pilot ignition system and the JVS has an electronic
intermittent ignition device (I.I.D.). Look for the
model designation on the rating plate, which can be
found on top of the boiler.
All application and installation procedures should
be reviewed completely before proceeding with
the installation. Consult the Laars factory, or local
factory representative, with any problems or questions
regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that
most operating problems are caused by improper
installation.
WARNING
This hydronic boiler must be installed in

SECTION 2.
Boiler Assembly and Placement
2A. Field Assembly
The Mini-Therm JV is available in two congurations.
The JVH has a hot surface ignition pilot and integral
draft fan, and the JVS has an electronic intermittent
ignition device (I.I.D.). Look for the model designation
on the rating plate, which can be found on right side of
the boiler, just above the drain.
The Laars automatic vent dampers are standard on
all JVS models. The Laars side wall power venters
can be used on JVS models. Special instructions for
their installation are included in the vent damper and
power venter package. Read them carefully before
installation.


Vent Damper (JVS only):
1. Mini-Therm JVS boilers have built-in draft
diverter for natural draft operation.
2. Find the vent damper box which is located in the
boiler package.
3. Install the vent damper directly to the top of the
draft diverter outlet with the damper operator
facing to the front of the boiler, and with the ow
direction arrow pointing upward. Use the vent
damper wire harness provided with the boiler
to connect the vent damper to the boiler. The
bracket end of the harness should be connected to
the vent damper actuator.
4. For Model JVS only: Install the metal plug
provided with the vent damper onto the damper
plate hole.
5. Do not modify the automatic vent damper device.
It is very important that no other vents are closed.
Provide at least six inches clearance between
the automatic vent damper and combustible
construction, and be sure to allow access for
servicing the damper.
Temperature/Pressure Gauge: Install the temp/
pressure gauge provided in the parts box.
2B. Boiler Placement
1. The boiler must be placed to provide clearances
on all sides for maintenance and inspection. There
must also be minimum distances maintained from
combustible surfaces. Avoid locations which can
be damaged by water or moisture.
2. A minimum of 15" (381mm) access must be
available in front of the boiler for burner tray
removal. Consult local codes for clearances to hot
water pipes and accessories.
3. If the boiler is to be installed in a garage, all
burners and burner ignition devices must have
a minimum 18" (457mm) clearance
above the oor.
4. Boilers can be installed in a closet as long as
the minimum clearances shown in Table 2 are
observed. Special attention should be paid to
clearances between the front of the boiler and the
closet door when it is closed (see Figure 2).
2C. Flooring
JVS model boilers can only be installed on
noncombustible ooring.
JVH model boilers are designed and certied for
installation on a combustible oor.
All boilers must be installed on a level oor and
must NEVER be installed on carpeting.
NEVER store objects on or around the boiler.
Noncombustible ooring is dened as ooring
material and surface nish not capable of being
ignited and burning and with no combustible materials
against the underside. Acceptable materials are those
consisting entirely of a combination of steel, iron,
brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plaster.
The JVS model boilers can be installed on a
combustible oor if a noncombustible base
assembly, available from Laars, is used. See the JVS
Parts List at the back of this manual for the appropriate
Noncombustible Base Kit part number.
Figure 1. Typical Combustible Floor Installation.
As an alternative to the Laars Noncombustible Base
Kit, in the United States the National Fuel Gas
Code allows a heater to be placed on a combustible
surface when there is a platform under the heater
made of hollow masonry no less than 4 inches (102
millimeters [mm]) thick, covered with sheet metal at
least 24 gauge thick and extending beyond the full

Air Supply to Boiler Room
Exhaust Fans or Vents: Any equipment which
exhausts air from the boiler room can deplete the
combustion air supply or reverse the natural draft
action of venting system. This could cause ue
products to accumulate in the boiler room. Additional
air must be supplied to compensate for such exhaust.
The information in Table 3 is not applicable in
installations where exhaust fans or blowers of any
type are used. Such installations must be designed by
qualied engineers.

SECTION 3.
Air and Venting
3A. Combustion Air Supply
The boiler location must provide sucient air
supply for proper combustion, and ventilation of
the surrounding area as outlined in the latest edition
of U.S. ANSI standard Z223.1 or in Canada, CAN/
CGA-B149.1 or .2, and any local codes that may be
applicable.
In general, these requirements specify that the
boiler rooms which represent conned spaces should
be provided with two permanent air supply openings;
one within 12 inches (305mm) of the ceiling, the other
within 12 inches (305mm) of the oor.
NOTE: In Canada, follow Canadian Standard,
CAN/CGA-B149 or local codes.
Outside Air Supply: When combustion air is
supplied directly through an outside wall, each
opening should have a minimum free area of one
square inch per 4,000 BTU/h (6 sq. cm per 1.2 kW)
input of the total input rating of all appliances in the
enclosed area.
Inside Air Supply: When combustion is supplied
from inside the building, each opening should have
a minimum free area of one square inch per 1,000
BTU/h (6 sq. cm per 0.3 kW) input of the total input
rating of all appliances in the enclosed area. These
openings should never be less than 100 square inches
(645 sq. cm).
LAARS Heating Systems

air to the boiler, a suitable switch or equivalent must
be wired into the boiler control circuit to prevent the
boiler from ring unless the blower is operating.
The boiler must be completely isolated and
protected from any source of corrosive chemical
fumes such as those emitted by trichloroethylene,
perchloroethylene, chlorine, etc.
3B. Venting
Vent Categories: The Mini-Therm JVS is a natural
draft appliance for Category I venting only. The
Mini-Therm JVH is a fan-assisted product that can be
vented vertically in a properly-designed Category I
system, or can be vented horizontally as a Category III
appliance, per this installation manual.
When venting as a Catagory I, the boiler vent collar
must be fastened directly to an unobstructed vent
pipe with rustproof sheet metal screws no longer than
1/2” (13mm) and located to prevent interference with
the inducer damper. Do not weld the vent pipe to the
boiler collar. The weight of the stack must not rest on
the boiler. The boiler top must be easily removable for
normal boiler service and inspection.
When venting as a Category III horizontal, the
venting requires a stainless steel system that is in
compliance with the requirements of UL 1738 in
the United States or ULC–S636 in Canada and in
accordance with this section and with the venting
system manufacturers instructions. Plastic venting of
any kind is not permitted. The venting system must be
attached to the boiler vent collar, using the appropriate
Boiler Adapter. DO NOT ATTACH WITH SCREWS.

Avoid terminating boiler vents near air conditioning
or air supply fans. The fans can pick up exhaust
ue products from the boiler and return them to the
building, creating a possible health hazard.
Avoid oversized vent pipe or extremely long runs
of the pipe, which may cause excessive cooling and
condensation.
3C. Vertical Venting - Category I
(JVS and JVH)
All venting must comply with fuel gas code and
be installed by a licensed professional.
The Mini-Therm JVS or JVH series boilers can be
vented into a masonry chimney, (see Figures 3 and 4)
provided several conditions are met:
1. The chimney must have an appropriate tile lining
that is clean, properly constructed and properly
sized.
2. The chimney passage way shall be examined to
ascertain that it is clear and free of obstructions.
3. If a chimney rebuild is required, it shall conform
to nationally recognized standards (see National
Building Code or ANSI/NFPA 211).

numbers of component parts. Do not mix venting
suppliers and models in venting systems. Failure
to comply could result in personal injury, property
damage, or death.
Installations must comply with applicable national,
state and local codes. The entire vent system must not
exceed the size specied in Table 2.
The following criteria must be observed:
1. If the horizontal run exceeds 5 ft (1.5 m) attach a
vertical section of not less than 12 in. (305 mm) to the
boiler vent collar using the appropriate adapter listed
above.
2. Support the vent runs with overhead hangers at
intervals specied in the vent system manufacturers
instructions.
3. Pitch the vent run down toward the vent terminal ¼
in. per foot (20mm per m).
The venting system must be attached to the boiler
vent collar, using the appropriate Boiler Adapter listed
above. DO NOT ATTACH WITH SCREWS.
All JVH models are to be vented with a 4” diameter
venting system of the equivalent length specied in
Table 4. The venting system of the JVH-225 may
be increased to 6” diameter to permit the longer
equivalent length indicated in Table 4. When installing
the 6” diameter system, install the Boiler Adapter to

Section 3D-3 Vent Termination (JVH only)
The sidewall vent terminal and thimble are a part of
the vent system and must be selected from the chosen
vent system Model numbers listed with the other vent
system component parts in Section 3D-2. It provides
a means of installing vent pipe through the building
wall and must be located in accordance with ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada CAN/CGA-B149 and
applicable local codes (See Figure 6).
The location of the vent terminal should be chosen so
that exiting ue products don’t come in contact with
nearby shrubbery. In accordance with ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149, the terminal must
be located 12” above grade or the anticipated snow
level in areas where snow is expected. Follow any
additional local codes when choosing the location.
3E. Common Venting System
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.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, 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.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is
no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or
other deciencies which could cause an unsafe
condition.
3. Insofar as it 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 gas burning appliance not connected
to the common venting system. Turn bathroom
exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed.
Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the burner opening after ve
minutes of main burner operation.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined
above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. When re-sizing any portion
of the common venting system, the common
venting system should be re-sized to approach
the minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

2. Check the gas supply to be sure that it is the
same as the gas indicated on the boilers plate.
Mini-Therm JVS and JVH boilers, as shipped
from the factory, are certied to operate within
the altitude range indicated on the rating plate.
If a eld conversion to a dierent altitude range
or dierent gas should be necessary, conversion
parts are available. Contact a Laars representative
or the factory for the correct part numbers to
order for conversions
3. Use the gures in Table 6 to size the gas inlet piping

4. A sediment trap (drip leg) must be installed
ahead of the gas controls (see Figure 8). Fit the
trap with a threaded cap which can be removed
for cleaning.
5. Install a manual gas shuto valve for service and
safety. Do not use a restrictive gas cock. Flexible
gas connectors, if used, must be CSA rated for
the total input rating of the boiler.
6. Disconnect the boiler and its individual shuto
valve from the gas supply system during pressure
testing of the system at pressures higher than 1/2
pounds per square inch (psi) (3.45 kilopascals
[kPa]). If the test pressure is equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa), close the manual shuto valve
on the heater during the piping pressure test.
7. If the gas supply pressure is less than required,
check for undersized pipe between the meter and
the boiler, a restrictive tting, or an undersized
gas meter. Gas supply pressures to the heater are
listed in Table 5.

8. The correct high re burner manifold gas
pressure is stamped on the rating plate. The
regulator is pre-set at the factory, and normally
requires no further adjustment. For two-stage
units (JVS 100-225) be sure unit is able to re at
both high and low re.
9. Before operating the boiler, the complete gas
supply system and all connections must be tested
for leaks using a leak detector solution. Do not
use an open ame.

4B Special Precautions for LP Gas
LP Gas is heavier than air and can therefore more
readily collect or “pool” in enclosed areas if provision
for proper ventilation is not made. Be sure to pay
special attention to proper ventilation for LP gas.
Locate boilers a safe distance from LP gas cylinders
and lling equipment. In the United States, consult
the “National Fuel Gas Code” ( NFPA 54 / ANSI
Z223.1, latest edition ) or in Canada, the Propane
Installation Code ( CSA-B149.2 ), any local codes and
re protection authorities about specic installation
restrictions in your area.
SECTION 5.
Water Connections
5A. Water Piping
Figure 10. shows ‘typical’ plumbing installations. Be
sure to provide unions and isolation valves at the
boiler inlet and outlet so it can be isolated for service.
Check local codes for specic plumbing requirements
before beginning the installation.
An ASME pressure relief valve is supplied on
all JV boilers, and is pre-set at 30 PSI. The valve
outlet piping must discharge to a drain. Under no
circumstances should the relief valve piping be a
closed circuit.
A pressure reducing valve (automatic feed) must be
used to maintain the system at constant proper pressure
(see Figure 10). Supply properly installed purge
valves to eliminate air from each circuit.
A drain valve is supplied with the boiler, and can be
found in the plastic bag shipped with each boiler. This
valve is to be installed on the lower right side of the
boiler and is used for draining the unit. To drain the
boiler completely, open the drain valve and remove
LAARS Heating Systems

the two drain plugs located on the lower left side of
the boiler.
Be sure to include air vent devices located at the
highest point in the system to eliminate trapped air,
and an air elimination device near the outlet side of the
JV boiler. Manual vent valves are recommended.
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands, NOT by the boiler. Due
to expansion and contraction of copper pipe,
consideration should be given to the type of hangers
used. Rigid hangers could transmit noise through the
system caused by the piping sliding in the hangers.
It is recommended that padding be used when rigid
hangers are installed.
Gas piping should also be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands, not the boiler.
A properly sized expansion tank must be included in
the system.
5B By-pass Piping
The following information and suggestions are made
on by-pass piping as it aects the temperature rise
at the boiler. A boiler temperature rise must be taken
on all JV boiler installations. If the temperature rise
exceeds 30°F (17°C) at full rate, it is an indication that
the boiler is not receiving adequate water ow. Check
the pump for any obstruction, replace the pump with a
larger size where necessary, or install a system by-pass
as indicated in Figures 10 and 11.
A full sized, 1¼" bypass with balancing valves is
strongly recommended for all systems, and required
when: 1) the boiler is installed without primary-
secondary piping in a multiple zone system; 2) when
the return water temperature can be expected to be
lower than 120°F (44°C); or 3) whenever the system
piping on the outlet side of the boiler may allow
reduced ow through the heat exchanger, causing
excessive temperature rise..

All precautions must be taken by the installer to insure
that a maximum temperature rise through the boiler
does not exceed 30°F (17°C). The temperature rise
on boilers installed in multi-zone systems using zone
valves must be taken when the zone of the longest
length and/or the zone of the highest head loss is open.
A full size, 1¼" diameter by-pass with
balancing valve must be installed if a return water
temperature below 120°F (44°C) is expected under
operating conditions regardless of boiler size. This
may be expected in many systems, including in-
oor radiant and snow melt systems.
5C Adjusting the bypass:
Refer to Figure 11. Provide a means of measuring
temperature on the inlet pipe to the boiler such as
using a strap on or infrared thermometer. Starting
with both balancing valves fully open, start the boiler.
Adjust the balancing valve on the return to the system
slowly to provide 120°F (44°C) water at the inlet to
the boiler, leaving the bypass balancing valve fully
open. As the system warms up, this valve may need
to be adjusted open. In rare cases, this valve will have
to be kept fully open, and the bypass balancing valve
adjusted toward closed to prevent heated bypass water
from satisfying the call for heat when the system is up
to temperature.
5D Alternate Auto-Bypass Operation
Use of the Laars thermostatic union, p/n 2400-030,
can provide automatic bypass operation in primary
- secondary piped systems (but cannot be used
when primary - secondary piping is not used). The
thermostatic union is installed on the outlet piping,
after the bypass assembly. It can be used in place of a
balancing valve. It opens fully at 140°F
(see Figure 11). Contact the factory for more
information.

5F Chilled Water Systems
If the boiler is installed in conjunction with
refrigeration systems, it shall be installed so that the
chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating
boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled
medium from entering the heating boiler.
When boiler piping is connected to heating
coils, which are in close proximity to refrigerated air
circulation, there must be ow control valves or other
automatic methods to prevent gravity circulation of the
boiler water during the cooling cycle.
5G Oxygen Permeable Systems
The JV boiler must not be direct connected to a
heating system utilizing oxygen permeable tubing.
Provide a water-to-water heat exchanger between
systems to prevent corrosion of ferrous metals such
as the boilers piping wet walls, etc. Air elimination
devices are not sucient protection, and corrosion
damage is not covered under the limited warranty.
5H Anti-Freeze
Non-toxic HVAC anti-freeze may be added to the
hydronic system provided the concentration does
not exceed 50%, and the anti-freeze contains an anti
foamant and rust inhibitor. Follow the anti-freeze
manufacturers recommendations for yearly or
biannual replacement of system anti-freeze. Never use
automotive anti-freeze in a boiler system.

5E Flow Requirements
All high recovery, low volume water boilers must have
adequate ow for ecient operation. Pump selection
is critical to this goal, and pumps should be selected
to provide for system design water temperature rise.
Table 7 details temperature rise and water ow (GPM)
for the Mini-Therm boilers.
Damage from improper ow is not warranteed.
Failure to insure proper water ow through the heat
exchanger of the boiler will void the Laars warranty.
Flow can be veried by measuring the dierence
in water temperatures between the boiler inlet and
outlet. For example: For a JV-100 installation, the
inlet water temperature is 160°F (71°C), and the outlet
temperature is 180°F (82°C) at Normal Input Rate
from the rating plate. That means there is a 20° (11°C)
temperature rise through the boiler. According to
Table 7, that would indicate a ow rate of 8 GPM
(0.5L/S). Temperature rise must be measured with the
longest (highest head) zone calling for heat alone.
Other factors to be considered before selecting a
pump are pipe size, the number of ttings throughout
the system, smoothness of the interior surface of the
pipe, the quantity of water owing through the pipe,
whether a glycol solution is being used, and the total
length of piping in the system. Table 8 provides
example pump selection criteria using Type L copper

5 I Low Water Cut O (LWCO)
When this boiler is installed above radiation level,
it is required that a Low Water Cut-O (LWCO) be
installed unless this requirement is superceded by
Jurisdictional requirements. Specic instructions for
the installation are the following:
Locate the appropriate wiring diagram within this
manual. There are two diagrams, one for the JVH
Series and one for the JVS Series. These boilers are
available for operation on 115/60 Hz or 220/50 Hz
power. If this boiler is to be operated at 220/50 HZ
use only a 24 VAC LWCO device. Depending upon
the Voltage requirements of the chosen LWCO device
(24 VAC or 120 VAC) wire the power wires for the
device in the following manner: For 120 VAC LWCO
devices, wire the power wires in parallel with the
incoming supply power to the boiler. For 24 VAC
LWCO devices, wire the power wires in parallel with
the 24 VAC output from the boilers transformer.
On the appropriate wiring diagram, locate the HI
LIMIT. Connect the switch contact wires from the
LWCO device in series with the blue wire (JVH) or
Orange wire (JVS) to the HI LIMIT. Follow LWCO
device Manufacturers Wiring Instructions for
identication of power wires and switch contact wires.
Mechanically, install the LWCO device in a tee tting
in the supply piping above the highest point of the
boiler. Follow LWCO Manufacturers Instructions for
minimum pipe sizing.
Perform a test of the Low Water Cut O device
according to its Manufacturers Instructions before
leaving the boiler unattended.
Note: This boiler is a water tube boiler that requires
water ow through the heat exchanger for proper
operation. It does not have an operating water level
and must be full at all times. In accordance with ANSI/
ASME CSD-1 Section CW-210 and The National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 10.3.5
a water tube boiler shall have a water ow proving
device in lieu of a Low Water Cut O.
