BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location

page 8.) The location should also be such that all boiler
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying,
rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator
replacement, control replacement, etc.).

Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting the
weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at least
2" past the jacket on all sides. See dimensions of boilers,
page 2.
B. Boiler can be installed on both combustible and
non-combustible floors, but must NOT be installed on or
above carpeting.
C. 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.
