4 How It Works
PHTM II Combi Installation, Operating & Service Instructions
1. Heat exchanger Water flows through heat exchanger’s stainless steel tubes.
Heat is transferred to water as flue products are cooled below point of
condensation for maximum heat transfer and efficiency. An enclosure contains
and directs flue products to vent piping.
2. Blower Pulls air and gas through venturi. Air and gas mixture is then
pushed into burner where it burns inside combustion chamber.
3. Gas valve Precisely controls gas flow rate in response to electronic
signal from control.
4. Venturi Creates suction at gas valve outlet and mixes air and gas before
they flow into blower.
5. Burner (not shown) Constructed of stainless steel, burner uses pre-mixed
air and gas to meet modulation requirements.
6. Boiler control (not shown) Monitors internal and external sensors and
controls blower, gas valve, 3-way valve and pumps to meet heating and DHW
demand. Control is a “gas adaptive system” that regulates air and gas flow
mixture by measuring flame ionization and adjusting gas valve to achieve a
target air-fuel ratio. This eliminates need to make throttle screw or offset
adjustments. System is self-calibrating and continuously maintains air-fuel
ratio at desired value.
7. 120 VAC connection board Provides field connections for line voltage and
two additional pumps (system pump and aux. pump).
8. Low voltage connection board Provides field connections for thermostats,
external limits, remote firing devices (4-20mA or 0-10V), header sensor,
outdoor sensor and LWCO.
9. Control enclosure Houses boiler control and provides access to installed
fuses and spare fuses.
10. Local user display Allows review of boiler status and parameter
adjustment. In event of fault condition, LCD display turns red and fault
condition is displayed.
11. Flue temperature sensor Used to monitor flue gas exiting boiler. Boiler
control will alarm, reduce boiler firing rate and shut down boiler if flue gas
temperature is too high.
12. Boiler supply temperature sensor (UL 353 Listed) Dual element temperature
sensor used to monitor boiler water exiting heat exchanger. Boiler control
uses supply temperature to initiate CH burner demand, adjust firing rate to
maintain CH set point temperature and shut down the boiler if supply
temperature is too high.
13. Boiler return temperature sensor Used to monitor boiler water entering
heat exchanger.
14. Ignitor/flame sensor A single ignitor/flame sensor is used to both
provide ignition energy and monitor flame.
15. Air pressure switch Proves air flow (closes) prior to boiler ignition.
Switch is proven open prior to starting blower.
16. Boiler Pump Internal boiler pump provides flow through heat exchanger.
17. Automatic air vent Connected to pump outlet, air vent helps remove air
from water system.
18. Boiler flow switch (UL 353 Listed) Proves water is present in boiler and
flow rate is adequate prior to starting boiler.
19. DHW flow sensor DHW flow sensor monitors DHW water demand. When DHW
detects DHW draw greater than 0.5 gpm, boiler control initiates a DHW heat
demand.
20. Plate heat exchanger Heats domestic water using boiler water.
21. 3-way valve When DHW flow sensor detects flow and DHW has priority, 3-way
valve is positioned to direct all boiler water to plate heat exchanger. When
CH demand has priority, valve is positioned to direct all boiler water to CH
zones. 3-way valve’s default position is DHW.
22. DHW temperature sensor Used to monitor DHW water leaving plate heat
exchanger. Boiler control uses DHW water temperature to initiate DHW burner
demand and adjusts boiler firing rate to maintain DHW setpoint temperature.
23. Condensate trap (not shown) Allows combustion chamber and vent condensate
to drain from boiler while retaining flue products in boiler.
24. Combi Black Drain (not shown) used to drain hydronic side water.

Combustion Air and Venting
! WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. Boiler requires a special venting system designed for
positive pressure. Supplied vent connector connects to CPVC, polypropylene,
and stainless steel venting listed in Section 7, General Venting. Failure to
vent boiler in accordance with these instructions could cause products of
combustion to enter the building resulting in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
! DANGER
Component Malfunction. Outdoor combustion air must be piped directly to boiler
air connection. Ensure combustion air does not contain contaminants and is not
drawn from an area likely to have contaminants per Table 5-2. For example,
never pipe combustion air from areas near swimming pools or laundry room
exhaust vents. Contaminated combustion air will damage boiler resulting in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
1. Use only vent and air piping and termination methods listed in Section 7,
General Venting. Vent and air piping must terminate either horizontally
through a sidewall or vertically through a roof or chase. Locate boiler so
vent and air intake piping can be routed through building and properly
terminated.
2. Ensure installation does not exceed maximum air and vent pipe lengths and
terminations are located in acceptable location per these instructions and all
applicable local codes.

system must be updated or replaced. Failure to follow these instructions could
cause products of combustion and/ or carbon monoxide to enter living space,
resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
1. If using existing vent system to vent new boiler, check the following: A.
Material and manufacturer are listed in Section 7 General Venting. B. Proper
size and length per Table 7-7. C. Appropriate supports to prevent sagging and
vertical movement. D. Minimum slope per Section 7 guidelines. E. Terminations
and their location comply with Section 7 General Venting, Section 8 Sidewall
Direct Venting, or Section 9 Vertical Direct Venting. F. Seals and connections
per Section 7 General Venting and /or vent system manufacturer’s instructions.
System must be tested per procedure Removing Existing Boiler in this section.
G. Vent pipe and components should be replaced if there is any question to
their integrity.
Removing Existing Boiler
! DANGER
Asphyxiation Hazard. Do not vent this boiler into a common vent with any other
appliance. Connecting this boiler to a common vent will cause products of
combustion and/or carbon monoxide to enter living space as well as appliance
malfunction, resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common
venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances
remaining connected to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be
followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are not in operation:
110331-03 – 1/22
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch
and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on
clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system.
Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they
will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the Lighting (or
Operating) Instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main
burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to
the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning
appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so
the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting
system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables in Chapter 13 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Residential Garage Installation
1. If installing in residential garage or adjacent space open to garage that
is not part of living space:
A. Burner and burner ignition devices must be a minimum of 18 in. (46 cm)
above floor.
B. Boiler must be located and/or protected to prevent damage from moving
vehicle.

Determine Terminal Location
! WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. · Follow these instructions when determining vent
terminal location. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage. · A gas vent extending through an
exterior wall shall not terminate adjacent to a wall or below building
extensions such as eaves, parapets, balconies, or decks.
1. Do not exceed maximum equivalent vent and air pipe length in Table 7-7.
2. Consider surroundings when selecting terminal location:
A. Locate terminal so flue gas will not damage nearby plants or air
conditioning equipment or be objectionable to building owner.
B. During cold weather, a visible cloud of flue gases will be emitted from
terminal. Avoid areas where this could obstruct window view or be otherwise
objectionable.
C. Flue gas may condense or freeze causing water or ice buildup on objects
surrounding structure. Move or protect these objects if they are subject to
damage from condensate.
D. Avoid possibility of accidental contact of flue gas with people or pets.
E. Avoid locating terminal where wind currents could affect performance or
cause recirculation. Areas to avoid include inside building corners, near
adjacent buildings or surfaces, windows wells, stairwells, alcoves,
courtyards, or other recessed areas.
3. Locate terminals so they are not likely to be damaged by foreign objects
such as stones or balls, or subject to buildup of leaves or dirt.
4. Maintain clearances to vent terminal per Figure 8-1.
A. Minimum 12 in. (305 mm) from any door, window or other gravity air inlet.
B. Minimum 3 ft. (900 mm) above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.
(3.1 m).
C. Minimum 12 in. (305 mm) from inside corner. 6 ft (1.8 m) is generally
recommended and required when window and/or air inlet is within 4 ft. (1.2 m)
of inside corner.
D. Do not locate terminal above a public walkway.
E. Minimum 12 in. (305 m) below roof overhang. Close proximity to overhang
and/or a deep overhang requires vent terminal to protrude farther from wall.
F. Minimum 4 ft. (1.2 m) in USA or 6 ft. (1.8 m) in Canada from any electric
meter, gas meter, regulator, or relief equipment. Never terminate above or
below any of these within 4 ft. (1.2 m) horizontally.
G. Vent and air terminals minimum 12 in. (305 mm) above grade or normal snow
line, if applicable.
5. Do not locate vent terminal under decks or similar structures.
6. Avoid locating combustion air terminal in an area with or likely to have
contaminants. See Table 5-2.
NOTICE: Minimize lengths of piping outside building to reduce risk of
condensate freezing in vent pipe causing boiler shutdown.
Prepare Wall Penetrations
1. Use base plate (if applicable) to determine air and vent pipe hole
centerline locations.
2. Cut hole for air pipe as close as desired to pipe outside diameter.
3. Cut hole for vent pipe at least 1 in. (25 mm) larger than pipe outside
diameter following required clearance per Figure 5-1.
4. Ensure vent wall penetration and methods of securing and sealing around
terminal allow for thermal expansion.

General System Piping Precautions
! WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. · Failure to properly pipe boiler could cause
improper operation and damage to boiler or building resulting in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage. · Protect gas ignition
system components from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler
operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap cleaning,
control replacement etc). · Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause
corrosion of iron and steel boiler components and could lead to premature
boiler failure. Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen
contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent
addition of water. · Maintain clearances to system piping per Figure 5-1.
! CAUTION
Toxic Material. The heat transfer medium must be water or other nontoxic fluid
having a toxicity rating or Class of 1, as listed in Clinical Toxicology of
Commercial Products, 5th edition.
Standard Piping Components
1. Safety relief valve (required). A. Shipped loose in parts carton (30 psig
[207 kPa]). B. Pipe outlet of safety relief valve to location where water or
steam will not create a hazard or cause property damage if valve opens. (The
end of discharge pipe must terminate in unthreaded pipe.) C. If safety relief
valve discharge is not piped to drain, it must terminate within 6 in. (150 mm)
of floor. D. Do not route discharge piping through an area that is prone to
freezing temperature. E. Termination of safety relief valve must be in an area
where it is not likely to become plugged by debris.
36
F. If replaced, replacement must have a setting less than or equal to maximum
allowable working pressure (MAWP) shown on ASME data plate located on left
side of heat exchanger (50 psig [345 kPa]).
! WARNING
Burn Hazard. Safety relief valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to
eliminate potential of severe burns. Do not pipe in any shut-off valves
between: 1. Safety relief valve and boiler. 2. Safety relief valve and
discharge. Union may be installed in safety relief valve piping.
2. Pump (required)
Boiler loop pump is factory installed inside boiler cabinet. At least one
additional pump is required on system side.
3. Expansion tank (required)
A. If this boiler is replacing an existing boiler with no other changes in
system, old expansion tank can generally be reused.
B. If expansion tank must be replaced, consult expansion tank manufacturer’s
literature for proper sizing.
C. If using antifreeze, account for additional expansion of glycol solution
when sizing an expansion tank. In a typical residential heating system, a
glycol mixture has an expansion rate of 1.2 times that of water alone,
therefore a tank for an anti-freeze system should be at least 1.2 times
greater in size. Antifreeze should be stainless steel compatible.
4. Fill valve (required)
A. Either a manual or automatic fill valve may be used, but a manual valve is
preferred because it eliminates unmonitored additions of make-up water to the
system.
B. Ideal location for fill valve is at expansion tank.
C. If using antifreeze with automatic fill valve, it is recommended to install
a water meter to monitor make-up water. Antifreeze concentration will decrease
as make-up water is added. If using antifreeze, local codes often require a
backflow preventer or disconnect from city water.

10 Heating System Piping (continued)
5. Automatic air vent (required)
A. Factory installed manual air vent is included on boiler heat exchanger, to
vent heat exchanger. A system air vent is also required.
B. Manual air vents will usually be required in other parts of the system to
remove air during initial fill.
6. Manual reset high limit (required by some codes i.e. ASME CSD-1)
A. Install high limit in boiler supply piping just above boiler with no
intervening valves.
B. Set manual reset high limit to 200°F. Wire limit to “external limit”
terminal on low voltage connection board per Section 13 Field Wiring.
7. Isolation valves are useful when boiler must be drained, as they will
eliminate having to drain and refill entire system.
8. Dirt and magnetic filter (strongly recommended)
A. Install a dirt/magnetic filter to prevent any system debris from entering
boiler and fouling of water passages.
B. Note that some filters have a significant pressure drop, which may impact
ability of system pump to obtain required flow.
9. Drain valve (required)
Install drain valve as shown in Figure 10-2.
10. Low water cut-off (LWCO) (may be required by local jurisdiction)
A. Protection of this boiler against low water and/ or inadequate flow is
provided by UL353 listed flow switch built into boiler.
B. This is a water tube boiler and this flow switch is therefore only
effective way to provide such protection.
C. Section HG614(c) of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code recognizes use of
a listed flow switch in lieu of LWCO on water tube boilers.
D. In event a local jurisdiction insists upon installation of LWCO with this
boiler, refer to Section 13 Field Wiring and LWCO manufacturer’s instructions
for proper wiring.
· Auto reset LWCO: 105591-01
· Manual reset LWCO: 108182-01
E. Install LWCO in supply piping at point prescribed by the local jurisdiction
(generally at a point above boiler, in common header piping).
F. If probe type LWCO is used, be certain that it is located at a point in
piping from which air can escape to an automatic air vent.
G. Generally, this means there should be no down-turns in piping between LWCO
and point where automatic air vent is installed.
H. Failure to do this may result in nuisance boiler shut-downs due to small
amounts of air trapped around probe.
NOTICE: Installing LWCO at top of boiler in relief valve location may cause
nuisance shut-downs.

! DANGER
Scald Hazard. · Under certain conditions this boiler can deliver domestic hot
water (DHW) at temperatures in excess of DHW set point on boiler control. A
field supplied ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 certified tempering valve is therefore
REQUIRED as part of this boiler’s installation. · Select and install tempering
valve in accordance with valve manufacturer’s instructions and applicable
local codes. In absence of such codes follow Uniform Plumbing Code
(IAPMO/UPC-1). Also note additional tempering valves may be required at
fixtures themselves. NOTICE: DHW feature on this boiler is designed to only
heat potable water (i.e. water from a well or water utility that is suitable
for drinking) having following characteristics: · Hardness less than 12
grains/gallons · pH between 6 and 8 · Chlorides less than 80 PPM Use of water
not having these characteristics could result in premature failure of DHW
handling components in this boiler and is not covered under warranty. If there
is reason to believe water is contaminated in any way, discontinue use of
domestic hot water and contact a qualified, licensed water treatment
professional.
! CAUTION
Component Damage. · Internal components near Hot and Cold connections can be
damaged by excessive heat during soldering. Use precautions to limit heat
exposure. · Failure to do so could cause internal leaks resulting in damage to
boiler.

Figure 11-1: DHW Connections 110331-03 – 1/22
NOTICE: Elbows pointed toward back of boiler are recommended to start DHW
piping.
DHW components in this system and their functions are as follows: 1. ASSE 1070
or ASSE 1017 listed tempering
valve (required) Low draw rates and transitions from heating to DHW are two
examples of conditions that can cause temperature of water leaving boiler to
significantly exceed DHW set point. A tempering valve is required to minimize
spikes in DHW temperature. Select and install in accordance with valve
manufacturer’s instructions and applicable codes. 2. Flow limiter If DHW draw
rate is in excess of rating in Table 3-1, temperature of hot water may be too
low for comfortable use. Internal, 6 GPM (23 L/min), flow limiter is factory
installed, but an additional flow limiter may be required. Select one having a
flow rating approximately equal to that shown in Table 3-1 at desired
temperature rise. 3. DHW pressure relief valve Limits pressure in DHW piping.
Use a valve designed for DHW service such as Watts #3L or #53L. Select a valve
with a pressure setting less than or equal to 145 psig (1,000 kPa). Pipe
discharge to safe location using same size as discharge connection to valve.
4. Drain valve Permits plate heat exchanger to be periodically back flushed to
remove sediment. 5. Globe or ball valves Used to isolate DHW piping during
back flushing and other servicing. In addition, valve may be used to limit DHW
flow if necessary. 6. Expansion tank If back flow preventer or check valve is
installed upstream of cold connection, thermal expansion tank will prevent
build-up of pressure in DHW piping. Use an expansion tank designed for potable
water service. 7. Water filter (highly recommended) Install Aqua Pure AP430SS
or equivalent on potable cold water supply to prevent scale. 8. Buffer tank
(Optional) When recirculation line is installed as shown in Figure 11-3, a
small (2-6 gal) potable water storage tank may be installed as shown. Reduces
burner cycling during very small DHW demands and also helps minimize
temperature fluctuations. An unpowered storage electric water heater is ideal
for this application.
