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!
