Placement & Rigging
Proper placement of your Fulton product is essential. Attention paid to
the following points will save a great deal of diffi
culty in the future. Correct
placement is the fi rst step to trouble-free installation, operation, and
maintenance.
Adhere to the following for placement and rigging:
1. Check building specifi cations for permissible fl oor loading. Use Table 1 for
unit reference.
2. Conform to all the requirements of all national, state and local codes
established by the authorities having jurisdiction and/or the U.S. to the
National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition. Authorities having jurisdiction
should be consulted before installations are made. Where required by local
codes, the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically
Fired Boilers (ASME CSD-1).
3. Since an external electrical source is utilized, the boiler, when installed,
must be electrically ground in accordance with the National Electric Code,
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 70, latest edition.
4. Standard Vantage boilers are certifi ed for indoor installation only. National
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 3R Confi guration is available
as an option from the factory, but an existing boiler cannot be retrofi tted
for outdoor installation.
5. Install so that all system components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) and debris (dry wall dust, insulation particles, etc.)
during boiler operation and service.
6. Install on a level, non-combustible surface in the vertical position. Concrete
is strongly recommended.
7. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance with applicable
provisions of local building codes or: USA – NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
8. Locate the boiler so that the air supply and exhaust piping between the
boiler and outside wall/roof are within the maximum lengths for horizontal
or vertical venting if sealed combustion will be used. See Clearances and
Serviceability section of this manual.
