(continued)
Prepare the appliance
Burner input: Install a gas burner sized for the
normal input rating of the appliance. Do not install
a burner with a higher firing rate than the appliance
rating. Do not install a burner with a firing rate more
than 10% lower than the appliance rating. The ap-
pliance and vent system could be damaged due to
condensation.
Clean the appliance: Clean the appliance thor-
oughly and seal all joints. Test all electrical com-
ponents and verify the relief valve works (boilers
only).
Verify combustion chamber dimensions comply
with the minimum dimensions shown in Figure 3b,
page 10. Install or replace chamber liner if required
by the appliance manufacturer. The burner must not
extend into the combustion chamber. The end of the
burner air tube must be within ¼” of the inside face
of the chamber. If the space around the burner air
tube is more than ¼”, wrap the burner air tube with
minimum 2300-°F-rated ceramic fiber blanket to
seal off the gap.
Repair or replace damaged appliance compo-
nents. Inspect the appliance thoroughly. Follow
appliance manufacturer’s guidelines for repair or
replacement of any component found defective.
When cleaning the appliance or working with ce-
ramic fiber refractories or fiberglass insulation,
see
WARNING on this page.
Failure to comply with the above could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Ceramic fiber
or
Fiberglass insulation
Ceramic fiber materials, such as chamber liners,
may contain carcinogenic particles (chrystobalites)
after exposure to heat. Airborne particles from
fiberglass or ceramic fiber components have been
listed as potentially carcinogenic by the State of
California. Take the following precautions when
removing, replacing and handling these items.
Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with
skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fit-
ting clothing, gloves and eye protection. Use a
NIOSH N95 certified respirator. This respirator
meets requirements for protection from chrysto-
balites. Actual job requirements or NIOSH regula-
tions may require other or additional protection.
For information, refer to the NIOSH website,
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
Ceramic fiber removal: To prevent airborne dust,
thoroughly wet ceramic fiber with water before
handling. Place ceramic fiber materials in a plastic
bag and seal to dispose.
Avoid blowing, tearing, sawing or spraying fiber-
glass or ceramic fiber materials. If such operations
are necessary, wear extra protection to prevent
breathing dust.
Wash work clothes separately from other laun-
dry. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly afterwards to
prevent contamination of other clothing.
NIOSH First aid procedures:
Eye exposure — irrigate immediately
Breathing — fresh air.
Prepare appliance for burner mounting
Positive overfire pressure applications: When firing with posi-
tive overfire pressure, do not exceed the pressure specified
in the appliance manual.
Positive overfire pressure reduces maximum burner capacity.
See Table 1a notes for estimated reduction in burner capacity
with pressurized firing.
Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
Check bolt locations
Verify that the burner flange bolt layout matches that of the appliance. See
page 23 for required dimensions and bolt locations.
