Installations must follow these codes:
• Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and ordinances.
• National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z3.1–latest edition.
• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/
ASME CSD-1, when required.
• National Electrical Code.
• For Canada only: B149.1 or B149. Installation Code, CSA C.1 Canadian Electri-
cal Code Part 1 and any local codes.
The CGs boiler gas manifold and controls met safe lighting and

other flammable liquids, or other contaminants .
Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors can result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
• Boiler must be installed so that gas control system components are protected from
dripping or spraying water or rain during operation or service.
• If new boiler will replace existing boiler, check for and correct system problems,
such as:
1. System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or section cracks from hard water
deposits.
. Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
3. Lack of antifreeze in boiler water causing system and boiler to freeze and
leak.
