Gas piping  
1. Size natural gas piping from Table 1. Size piping to provide proper inlet pressure to gas  
valve when operating at rated input.  
Supply pipe sizing  
a. Inlet gas pressure to manual main shut-off gas valve minimum 5" W.C., maximum  
13" W.C.  
b. If pressure to gas valve exceeds 13" W.C., install 100% lock-up gas pressure regulator  
upstream of hand valve.  
c. To obtain approximate cubic feet per hour, divide input (Btu/hr) by 1000.  
2. Size gas piping considering:  
a. Diameter and length of gas supply piping.  
b. Number of fittings.  
c. Maximum gas consumption (including any possible future expansion).  
d. Allowable pressure drop from gas meter to boiler. For pressure drops, see ANSI  
Z233.1 latest edition. Canadian installations must comply with B149.1 or B149.2  
Installation Code.  
Connect gas piping  
to boiler  
3. Remove knockout disc from jacket panel side to which gas supply will be piped.  
4. Follow good piping practices.  
5. Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant to corrosive action of liquefied  
petroleum gases. Apply sparingly only to male threads of pipe joints.  
6. Install drip leg at inlet of gas connection to boiler. Where local code/utility requires,  
extend drip leg to floor.  
7. Install ground joint union when required for servicing.  
8. Support piping by hangers, not by boiler or its accessories.  
9. Purge all air from supply piping.  
10. Before operating boiler, check boiler and its gas connections for leaks.  
Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame - use bubble test. Failure to  
use bubble test or check for leaks can cause severe personal injury, death or  
substantial property damage.  
a. Close manual main shut-off valve during any pressure testing greater than 13" W.C.  
b. Disconnect boiler and gas valve from gas supply piping during any pressure test  
greater than 13" W.C.  
11. In Canada — manual main shut-off valve must be identified by installer.

For your safety, turn off power supply before making  
electrical connections to avoid possible electrical shock  
hazard.  
Figure 2 Wiring diagram  
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing  
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and  
dangerous operation resulting in servere personal  
injury, death or substantial property damage.  
Wiring  
requirements  
All wiring must be installed according to requirements  
of the National Electrical Code and any national, state  
or local code requirements having jurisdiction. All  
wiring external to boiler jacket must be N.E.C. Class 1.  
The boiler must be electrically grounded according to  
the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest  
edition. Use 105oC thermoplastic wire, or equivalent, if  
any original wire must be replaced. GND (burner)  
lead wires must be 125oC wire.  
Canadian installations must conform to CSA C22.1  
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local or  
provincial codes.  
Wiring to boiler must be No. 14 gauge or heavier.  
Install in conduit.  
A separate electrical circuit with a fused disconnect  
switch (15 amp. recommended) should be used for the  
boiler.  
Determine right or left electrical supply wiring.  
Attach electrical junction box to inside jacket end  
panel. Screws and nuts are provided.  
Wiring  
procedure  
Attach control transformer to junction box.  
Complete wiring per wiring diagram, Figure 2,  
pages 4 and 5.  
Install ignition control ground connection as  
shown in Figure 1 and wiring diagram, Figure 2.  
In Canada — attach chain between junction box  
and transformer with S-hooks.  
"Hot" side of line voltage to boiler must be wired  
directly to limit circuit, then fed to transformer  
primary.

Operating instructions  
A. This boiler is equipped with an ignition device which  
automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by  
hand.  
B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the boiler area for gas.  
Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier  
than air and will settle on the floor.  
WHAT TO DO IFYOU SMELL GAS  
Do not try to light any appliance.  
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone  
in your building.  
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's  
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.  
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire  
department.  
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use  
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don't try to repair it,  
call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may  
result in a fire or explosion.  
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.  
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the  
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any  
gas control, which has been under water.  
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.  
Starting  
boiler  
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.  
3. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.  
4. Remove Front Panel.  
5. This appliance is also equipped with an  
ignition device which automatically lights the  
second pilot. Do not try to light this pilot by  
hand.  
6. Close the firing valve and turn the Gas Control  
knob clockwise to "OFF."  
7. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor.  
If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety information above. If you don't smell  
gas, go to the next step.  
8. Turn Gas Control knob counterclockwise to "ON,then open the firing valve.  
9. Turn on all electric power to the appliance.  
10. Set thermostat to desired setting.  
11. If the appliance will not operate, close the firing valve and turn off gas to the boiler by  
rotating the Gas Control knob clockwise toOFF.Turn off all electrical power. Call  
your service technician or gas supplier.  
12. Replace Front Panel.

Verification testing  
Before starting boiler for the first time and at least annually (during annual inspection and  
start-up), follow the procedures below to verify boiler controls are operating correctly and  
that automatic gas valve properly shuts off gas flow. Failure to verify boiler operation  
could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.  
Manual test firing This boiler is equipped with a manual test firing valve — the manual gas valve piped  
between the gas manifold and the automatic gas valve. Closing the manual test firing valve  
valve  
allows verification of proper boiler operation without allowing gas flow to the manifold  
and allows leak testing of the automatic gas valve. Follow the procedures below.  
Verify boiler control  
sequence  
1. Follow the Operating Instructions in this Supplement to start the boiler, but do not  
open the manual test firing valve. Open all other manual gas valves as instructed.  
Leave the manual test firing valve closed.  
2. The automatic pilot burner should light.  
3. After the pilot lights, the boiler controls should activate the automatic gas valve. Use a  
voltmeter to verify voltage to automatic valve.  
4. With no gas flow to the manifold, the boiler ignition controls should turn off the  
automatic gas valve after main flame ignition trial. Use a voltmeter to verify voltage to  
automatic valve is turned off.  
Leak test automatic  
gas valve  
1. Close manual test firing valve.  
2. Open the service valve. Press down and turn automatic gas valve knob (or lever) to  
ON.  
3. Install a hose barb into a pressure tap downstream of the automatic gas valve. Allow  
any accumulated gas in the line to vent off. Then connect a U-tube manometer. If the  
valve seals properly, there should be no gas pressure present. Remove manometer and  
hose barb and replace pipe plug in pressure tap.  
4. Remove the manometer and plug any open pressure taps.  
5. Follow Operating Instructions to place boiler in service.  
Replace any defective components. Do not attempt to operate boiler or leave boiler in  
operation if any component is found to be defective or to operate incorrectly. Failure to  
comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
