EUTECTIC EC-10 DV 3
BOILER LOCATION
CAUTION: NEVER BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE
UNIT, AND NEVER LEAVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
AROUND IT.
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler.
A. The foundation must be capable of supporting the weight of
the boiler when filled with water:
* Includes burner, circulator and controls
B. These boilers have full wet base sections which surround fire box for
maximum heat absorption of burning fuel, and low floor temperature.
C. The boiler can be installed on both combustible and non-combustible
floors, but must NOT be installed on or above carpeting.
D. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing electric wires
or telephone cables, consult local codes or the National Board of Fire
Underwriters for specific requirements.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
Provide accessibility clearance of 24" from surfaces requiring servicing (top
and front) and 20" on any side requiring passage. The boiler shall be
installed with the following MINIMUM clearances from combustible materials:
BACK-6"
SIDES-2"
NOTE: Except in closets and alcoves, clearances above may be reduced by
providing forms of protection as specified in NFPA 31, latest edition.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: AN OIL-FIRED UNIT SHALL BE CONNECTED TO
A VENT HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO
ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE UNIT.
• The terminal shall not be closer than 3 feet above or 10 feet horizontally
from any forced air inlet into the building.
• The terminal shall not be closer than 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally
or 1 foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet into the building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 3 ft from an inside corner of an “L”
shaped building.
• The terminal shall not be less than 7 ft above grade when located adjacent to
public walkways.
• The terminal shall not be less than 2 ft from an adjacent building.
• The terminal shall be located at a height not liable to blockage from leaves,
snow or other debris, at least 1 ft above grade or anticipated snow line.
• The terminal shall be positioned so that flue gases are not directed where
they can jeopardize people, overheat combustible structures or enter
buildings.
• Vent terminal should be away from shrubbery or other obstructions that
would prevent free air flow to and from vent terminal. Do not terminate vent
under decks, stairways or car ports. When ever possible, locations under
windows should be avoided.
• Vent termination should not be mounted directly above or within 3 ft
horizontally from an oil tank vent.
BOILER INTERNAL BAFFLES
IMPORTANT
: EC-10 series boilers Direct Vent version is different from
standard series. Direct Vent version boilers usually have fewer internal cast
iron baffles.
VENT PIPING
A. The vent piping minimum bend radius is 12”.
B. Place metal strapping every 36” to support vent pipe and
prevent it from sagging.
C. Maximum wall thickness is 14”. Contact Slant/Fin Corp. for
recommendations in case of thicker wall.
D. Gases will form white plume in winter. Plume could obstruct
window view.
E. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and water/ice
buildup on building, plants or roof.
F. Locate or guard vent to prevent accidental contact by people or pets,
and condensate from damaging exterior finish.
G. Do not terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard
or other recessed areas.
All venting kits must be double wall construction for the flue gas piping. Field
Controls is the only approved manufacturer for venting kits. When installing
the vent kits the manufacturers instructions must be followed.
INSTALLING WATER TRIM
Notes: Jacket must be installed on boiler units prior to installation of trim.
