Installation & Operation Manual
1 Determine boiler location
Provide air openings to room:
Knight XL alone in boiler room
1. No air ventilation openings into the boiler room are
needed when clearances around the Knight XL are at least
equal to the SERVICE clearances shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and
1-2. For spaces that do NOT supply this clearance,
provide two openings as shown in FIG. 1-1. Each
opening must provide one square inch free area per 1,000
Btu/hr of boiler input.
Knight XL in same space with other gas or oil-fired
appliances
1. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) or CSA B149.1
(Canada) to size/verify size of the combustion/ventilation
air openings into the space.
The space must be provided with
combustion/ventilation air openings
correctly sized for all other appliances
located in the same space as the Knight XL.
Do not install the boiler in an attic.
Failure to comply with the above warnings
could result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
2. Size openings only on the basis of the other appliances in
the space. No additional air opening free area is needed
for the Knight XL because it takes its combustion air from
outside (direct vent installation).
Do not install the boiler on carpeting even
if foundation is used. Fire can result,
causing severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
If flooding is possible, elevate the boiler sufficiently to prevent
water from reaching the boiler.
Flooring and foundation
Flooring
The Knight XL is approved for installation on combustible
flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting.
Residential garage installation
Precautions
Take the following precautions when installing the appliance
in a residential garage. If the appliance is located in a
residential garage, it should be installed in compliance with
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
and/or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code.
• Appliances located in residential garages and in
adjacent spaces that open to the garage and are not part
of the living space of a dwelling shall be installed so that
all burners and burner ignition devices are located not
less than 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor.
• The appliance shall be located or protected so that it is
not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
Vent and air piping
The Knight XL requires a special vent system, designed for
pressurized venting.
You must also install air piping from outside to the boiler air
intake adapter. The resultant installation is direct vent (sealed
combustion). Note prevention of combustion air
contamination below when considering vent/air termination.
Vent and air must terminate near one another and may be
vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall. You may
use any of the vent/air piping methods covered in this
manual. Do not attempt to install the Knight XL using any
other means.
Be sure to locate the boiler such that the vent and air piping
can be routed through the building and properly terminated.
The vent/air piping lengths, routing and termination method
must all comply with the methods and limits given in this
manual.
Prevent combustion air contamination
Install air inlet piping for the Knight XL as described in this
manual. Do not terminate vent/air in locations that can allow
contamination of combustion air. Refer to Table 1A, page 11
for products and areas which may cause contaminated
combustion air.
You must pipe combustion air to the
boiler air intake. Ensure that the
combustion air will not contain any of the
contaminants in Table 1A, page 11.
Contaminated combustion air will
damage the boiler, resulting in possible
severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage. Do not pipe
combustion air near a swimming pool, for
example. Also, avoid areas subject to
exhaust fumes from laundry facilities.
These areas will always contain
contaminants.
