14Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for InstallationNOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not bepossible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended tomake note of the boiler model and serial number.NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable frontclearance.D. Wall Mounting ConsiderationsThese boilers are wall mounted. Use only the wall mounting instructionsincluded with this boiler.Ensure the wall that the boiler is intended to be mounted on iscomprised of cement, brick, block, or wooden studs spaced 16” apartfrom center. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting at least 150 lbs(68 kgs).If flooding is possible, elevate the boiler to prevent floodwater fromreaching the boiler.Ensure the boiler is installed in a location that minimizes the risk ofwater damage due to leaking valves, pumps, unions, etc.The boiler may be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound-proofing may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall).The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation airopenings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the samespace as the boiler. The boiler cover must be securely fastened toprevent the boiler from drawing air from the boiler room. This isparticularly important if the boiler is in a room with other appliances.Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in substantialproperty damage, severe personal injury, or death.Ensure that the structure of the installation location is sufficient tosupport the full installed weight of the boiler, including water contentof the heat exchanger and related piping and components. If themounting location cannot support a minimum of 150 lbs. (68 kg), itis recommended to locate the boiler in a mounting location that cansupport the minimum weight. Failure to ensure the structure of theinstallation location is structurally sound before installation of theboiler and properly mount the boiler can result in structural failure,substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.CAUTIONCAUTIONWARNINGWARNINGAll boilers eventually leak. Locate the boiler where any leakage fromthe relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not resultin damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. Anyboiler should be installed in such a manner that if it should leakthe resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area inwhich it is installed. If the boiler is installed in a location wherea leak could cause damage, it is required to provide containmentmeasures. Such measures include but are not limited to: a properlysized drain pan installed beneath the boiler and piped to an opendrain line, or installing the boiler on a concrete floor pitched to afree flowing drain. Failure to provide containment measures is thesole responsibility of the owner and/or installer. Leakage damagesARE NOT covered by warranty.In addition, water leak detection devices and automatic watershutoff valves are readily available at plumbing supply houses. ITIS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INSTALLWATER LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFFVALVES IN ANY BOILER INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OFWATER COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGES.In order for the condensate to properly flow out of the collectionsystem, the area where you locate the boiler must be level. Failureto do so will result in improper appliance operation.B. LevelingC. Clearances for Service AccessNOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure5 and Table 5 it might not be possible to service the boiler withoutremoving it from the space.CADB BDimension Description ClearanceA Top 14” (355.6 mm)B Right or Left Side 2” (50.8 mm)C Front 18” (457.2 mm)D Bottom 12” (304.8 mm)Not Displayed Back 0” (0 mm)Table 5 - Minimum Installation and Service ClearancesNOTE: For closet installations, a combustible door or removablepanel is acceptable front clearance. A 3” minimum clearance must beprovided from the appliance front cover to the removable panel orcombustible door.Minimum Clearances from Combustible Materials• Hot water pipes - at least 1” from combustible materials• Exhaust vent pipe - at least 1” from combustible materialsCorrect installation Incorrect installationFigure 4 - Proper levellingFigure 5 - Minimum Clearances
