Jaguar Caravan Multiple and Cascading Boilers 4
SAFETY
KEEP THE BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
3. BOILER ROOM DESIGN AND LAYOUT
Jaguar Caravan Multiple Boilers allow better utilization of floor space
and permit future boiler system expansion with minimum cost.
Jaguar boilers are hand truckable, fit through doorways and can
often be installed around existing boilers. Boilers can be installed in
line, back to back, at angles or in multiple rows. Layout is flexible.
Figure 2 gives a typical layout using Slant/Fin Headers.
Boiler rooms and enclosures should comply with local code require-
ments. Provide a level and solid foundation for the boilers.
Equipment pads should be capable of supporting the boilers filled
with water and extend past the boiler jackets by at least 2 inches.
Jaguar boilers are approved for installation on combustible and non-
combustible floors, however Jaguar boilers must not be installed on
or above carpeting. All boiler components should be protected from
water during installation, set up, operation and service.
Minimum clearances to combustible materials should comply with
local code requirements. Slant/Fin minimum clearances are listed
below.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE
CONSTRUCTIONS
A. Minimum clearances to the exterior surfaces of the boiler shall
be as follows:
MINIMUM ALCOVE AND CLOSET CLEARANCE
For Combustible Recommended
Surface Construction for Service
Front 0" 24"
Rear 0" 8"
Left Side 0" 0"
Right Side 0" 0"
Top 4" 6"
Flue Connector:
Enclosed — 2" 6"
Uninclosed — 1" 6"
B. Provide accessibility clearance of 8" on sides requiring servic-
ing and 18" on sides used for passage.
C. All minimum clearances shown above must be met. This may
result in increased values of some minimum clearances in
order to maintain the minimum clearances of others.
D. Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 1 inch**.
** At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling, the clear-
ance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wall or ceiling boards
may be not less than 1/2 inch. Each such opening shall be covered with a
plate of uncombustible material.
