INSTALLATION

Installation Codes

The installation must conform with these instructions

and the latest editions of the National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI Z223.1, the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA

70 and local codes. All boiler installations must con-

form to ASME boiler code. Hot water pipes must be

installed with minimum clearances to combustible

material as required by code.

Installation Base

The boiler should be mounted on a level, non-com-

bustible surface. Boiler must not be installed on

carpeting. The boiler can be installed on a combustible

surface only when a suitable floor shield base is pro-

vided. Raypak offers an optional floor shield base

which can be factory installed on all indoor models

except Model 133; the Model 133 floor shield base is

shipped loose and must be installed by the contractor.

Do NOT use the shipping crate base as an installation

base.

In addition, the boiler shall be installed such that the

gas ignition system components are protected from

water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance

operation and service (circulator replacement, control

replacement, etc.).

Clearances

NOTE: The boiler should be located in an area

where water leakage will not result in damage to the

area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.

When such locations cannot be avoided, it is

recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately

drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan

must not restrict air flow.

*Vent includes factory-supplied drafthood and does not include field-

supplied vent systems above the drafthood. On Models 2100-4001

drafthood is built into boiler.

NOTE: For Models 2100-4001, a factory-installed

floor shield is standard. Table B provides the floor

shield ordering information for other models.
