NOTICE
The instructions for the installation of the venting system shall specify that the horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging; the methods of and intervals for support shall be specified. These instructions shall also specify that the venting system: Category I, II and IV boilers must be installed so that horizontal sections have an upward slope away from the boiler of at least ¼ inch per foot (21 mm/m) to prevent accumulation of condensate; and For Category II and IV boilers, where necessary, have means provided for drainage of condensate.
NOTICE
For long, trouble free operation, it is critical that the FT unit has always access to clean combustion air, either drawn from an inside space (per section 4.3.1) or external (per section 4.3.2).

• Do NOT allow contaminated indoor air (either by internal dust, sheet rock, PVC or CPVC pipe debris dust or similar contamination) to be drawn in through the air intake connection. If the unit must operate under job site conditions, always ensure availability of fresh air and protect the unit accordingly.
• For ducted combustion air from the outdoors, follow the guidelines provided in Sections 4.6 through 4.8 and make sure that clean air is always available for combustion.
• During assembly of the air intake system, make sure that any PVC or CPVC pipe debris due to cutting pipe is fully removed and all connecting surfaces are smooth and free of contamination.
• Visually inspect air intake piping for interior debris or shavings. It may be necessary to wash out the air intake piping.

CAUTION
When an existing Cat I appliance is removed or replaced, the original venting system may no longer be sized to properly vent the attached appliances. Under no circumstances should an improperly sized vent be used. An improperly sized vent may cause operational and safety problems, and could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.

CAUTION
The FT is standard as a Natural Gas Boiler and must be converted if propane is the desired gas, using the furnished LP conversion kit.
Adequate drainage

• The appliance should be installed not to damage the adjacent area. If such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not block combustion air flow.

Connecting the Water Supply

• To conserve water and energy, insulate all water piping—especially the hot and recirculation water lines. Never cover the drain or pressure relief valve.
  Having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line will prevent thermal expansion backflow. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector for information about how to control this situation.
  If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve.
  This installation must conform with below section

• “Air for Combustion and Ventilation” of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z224.1/NFPA 54, or Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 of Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.

4.4 Venting (Exhaust)
NOTICE
DO NOT COMMON VENT FT UNITS. FT units are never permitted to share a vent with Category I appliances.
The flue temperature of the FT changes dramatically with changes in operating water temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the application of the boiler to determine the required certified vent class. If the FT is installed in an application where the ambient temperature is elevated, and/or installed in a closet/alcove, CPVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel material is required. If the system temperatures are unknown at the time of installation, stainless, polypropylene or CPVC material is recommended.
The FT is a Category IV appliance and may be installed with PVC, CPVC or polypropylene (PP) and PP Flex that complies with ULC-S636, ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441 (see Table 3) or a stainless steel venting system that complies with UL 1738 Standard and ULC S636.
WARNING
Failure to use the appropriate vent material, installation techniques, glues/sealants could lead to vent failure causing property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
All venting must be installed according to this manual and any other applicable local codes, including but not limited to, ANSI Z224.1/NFPA 54, CAN/CSA B149.1 and ULC-S636. Failure to follow this manual and applicable codes may lead to property damage,
severe injury, or death.
WARNING
Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) used in non-metallic venting systems is prohibited. Non- metallic vent pipe (PVC, CPVC, (PP), PP Flex or other) shall NOT be insulated or covered. Insulating or covering non-metallic venting may cause overheating which diminishes the integrity of the pipe.
INSTALLATIONS
IN CANADA require the use of venting material certified to ULCS636. All Gas vents connected to the FT, plastic, stainless steel or otherwise must be certified to this ULC standard. Appropriate selection of vent material is very important for proper performance and safe operation of the FT.
The flue temperature of the FT changes dramatically with changes in operating water temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the application of the boiler to determine the required certified vent class. If the FT is installed in an application where the outlet water temperature exceeds 145°F, and/or installed in a closet, class IIB or higher vent material is required. If the system temperatures are unknown at the time of installation, class IIB or higher venting material is recommended.

Both concentric venting systems are approved for a total linear length of 25 ft and noted special adaptor and up to a maximum of 3 90° concentric elbows with either a horizontal or vertical concentric exhaust/intake termination. The entire venting system must slope back to the boiler to allow drainage of condensate. Please refer to Section 4.6 for approved termination locations for all applications.
Detailed installation instructions must be followed in this manual as outlined in the sections below. Only listed special accessories recorded in this manual are allowed for use in concentric venting applications.
NOTE: FT part numbers shown in Table 6 and 7 are directly available from your local FT boiler wholesaler or supplier.
4.10.2 Installation of a Complete New Concentric  Stainless Steel Venting System.
For a vertical venting system, locate the boiler to affect the shortest possible vent length run with the maximum venting length not to exceed 25 feet and no more than 3 90° elbows.
Venting Assembly Process:
NOTE: Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the Heat-Fab SC series venting components during the assembly process.

1. Install the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, kit FT3006. Ensure that the fittings are clean, moisten the seals and pipe ends before insertion and insert the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, kit FT3006 into the FT boiler sockets until they bottom out. Tighten the clamps on the boiler vent connectors.
2. The venting system will probably have both horizontal and vertical components to align the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, kit FT3006, and the penetration through the roof.
3. The selection on the roof for the roof termination must follow the guidelines of Section 4.9 Vent / Air Termination, Page 22 in this manual.
4. Locate the FT boiler as close as possible to the siteof the roof termination overhead and determine the routing of the venting system and measure the required lengths of horizontal and vertical runs.
5. Properly support each horizontal and vertical section at least every 4 ft and at each elbow. Finish the vertical section by the installation of the SCO3VT Vertical Terminal Adapter on the last piece of vertical concentric vent pipe.. The top of this adapter must be 12” above the roof or anticipated snow line where it penetrates the roof. Install a SCO3RC, Rain Cap.
6. After completion of the venting system, review all joints of the venting installation and make sure that all  locking screws of the adjoining vent sections are all fully installed into the pre-drilled holes. For a horizontal venting system do not exceed the maximum allowed lengths and number of elbows noted above and select a location for the vent termination on the outside wall. This location must consider the 12” height above grade and/or anticipated snow line and its proximity to windows, doors and sources of incoming air, etc. Reference Section 4.6 Locations for Vent Pipe Terminator, Page 18 in this manual.

Venting Assembly Process:
NOTE: Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the Heat-Fab SC series venting components during the assembly process.

1. Locate the FT boiler as close as possible to the selected location for the penetration through the outside wall and install the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, FT3006 kit, in the sockets on the FT boiler. Ensure that the fittings are clean, moisten the seals and pipe ends before insertion and insert the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, FT3006 kit, into the FT boiler sockets until they bottom out.
2. Determine the routing of the venting system and measure the required lengths of horizontal and vertical runs. Keep in mind that telescoping pieces may be required for certain lengths as the pipes can NOT be trimmed to length. Each vertical and horizontal run must be supported by hangers every 4 ft so that it slopes 3/8” per foot downward toward the FT boiler and has no low sections that will limit the flow of condensate back to the boiler.
3. The telescoping sections are used to adjust both the vertical and the horizontal sections of the pipes so that the proper slope can be maintained.
4. Install the 3″ x 5″ horizontal termination adaptor (SCO3HT) on the last piece of horizontal concentric vent pipe protruding through the exterior wall and select one of the listed horizontal terminations to complete the concentric venting installation.
5. After completion of the venting system, review all joints of the venting installation and make sure that all locking screws of the adjoining vent sections are all properly installed.

4.10.3 Stainless-Steel Concentric Venting Utilizing
Existing Stainless Steel Venting.
There might be existing boiler installations that have a Heat Fab SC 3″ x 5″ concentric venting system. It  ight be possible to re-use portions of that venting system.
Carefully inspect the original system before deciding to use it. The near boiler portions of the venting system will need to be replaced in order to connect to the new FT boiler.
Determine the routing of the venting system and measure the required lengths of horizontal and vertical  uns. Keep in mind that telescoping pieces may be required as most piping sections can not be trimmed to length.
NOTE: If the existing vent system is horizontal and terminated by a “Vent Terminal Extension” on the outside wall of the building, that “Vent Terminal Extension” including a downward exhaust termination is not appropriate for a condensing boiler like the FT Boiler and the entire system will need to be replaced. Refer to Section 4.10.2 for detailed instructions for installing a completely new concentric stainless steel venting system. (See Section 4.10.4 for installing a completely new concentric Duravent PP concentric venting system).
If the existing venting system is a horizontal run, the slope of that system will need to be changed. As installed, that system required a downward slope of ¼” per foot toward the outside wall. The venting system for FT boiler requires a slope of 3/8” per foot back toward the boiler so that condensate will drain back to the boiler and be eliminated. To change the slope, the vent pipe hangers will need to be adjusted or replaced.
The centerline of the flue on the FT boiler is 3.9” (99 mm) from the back of the boiler cabinet. The centerline of the flue on the existing boiler is 9” (229 mm) from the back of the boiler cabinet. If the FT boiler can be installed so that its cabinet back is 5” (127 mm) further forward from the back wall than the existing boiler, then the FT boiler vent and the venting system will be in alignment. If, however, the boiler location for the FT boiler, with respect to the back wall, cannot be changed, 45° offset fittings will be required to bring the centerline of the FT vent forward to align with the existing vent assembly.
Venting Assembly Process:
NOTE: Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the Heat-Fab SC series venting components during the assembly process.

1. Start the vent assembly process by installing the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor, kit FT3006. (See previous page). Ensure that the fittings are clean, moisten and insert the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor into the FT boiler sockets until they bottom out.
   Tighten the clamps on the boiler vent connectors.

2. To create the offset, if necessary, moisten the internal gasket and insert the plain end of a SCO3E45 fitting into the socket end of another. Take care that the orientation is such that the offset is as indicated and the inserted end bottoms out in the other socket fitting. Install the self-tapping screws into the predrilled holes.

3. If the offset is required, clean mating surfaces with alcohol swap provided and moisten the socket gasket on the SCO3E45 assembly, and install the assembly onto the Dual pipe to concentric adaptor and secure with self-tapping screws. Clean with the swap and moisten with water. Moisten the seals on all the other seals throughout the Venting System assembly, as you move on.

4. The transition between the Dual pipe to concentric Adapter and the existing vent system will be made with P/N SCO3AJ telescoping adjustable concentric straight length to adjust to the difference between the location of the top of the Dual pipe to concentric Adapter and the bottom of the existing vent system. This adjustable length pipe is required regardless if the offset fittings are required or not. Install the SCO3AJ and adjust the length to connect to the remaining parts of the existing vent system and secure by installing the self-tapping screws in the pre-drilled openings.

5. After adjusting the slope, install a SCO3E90 elbow and a SCO3AJ telescoping adjustable concentric straight length to adjust to the existing horizontal venting. Adjust the SCO3AJ to connect to the existing vent system and secure by installing the self-tapping screws in the pre-drilled openings. (Refer to Table 6, page 25, for component descriptions).

4.10.4 New Installation of Duravent PPS Concentric System
The FT boiler has separate Combustion Air and Vent connections. Using the Parts Kits indicated in Table 7, the FT boiler can be connected with a Polypropylene Concentric Vent System for horizontal and vertical venting applications. Note that the entire venting
system must slope back to the boiler 3/8″ per foot for proper drainage of condensate. Do NOT allow any sags in the venting system.
For a vertical venting system, locate the FT Boiler as close as possible to the chosen vent location overhead, on the roof. The selection of the location for the roof termination must follow the guidelines of Section 4.9 Vent / Air Termination, Page 22. For a horizontal venting system, locate the FT Boiler as close as possible to the chosen vent site near the outside wall of the building. This location must consider the 12” height above grade and/or maximum nticipated snow line and its proximity to windows,
doors and sources of incoming air, etc. Reference Section 4.6 Locations for Vent Pipe Terminator, Page 18.
Venting Assembly Process:
Determine the routing of the venting system and measure the required horizontal and vertical runs. Keep in mind that telescoping pieces may be required as most piping sections can not be trimmed to length. Hangers and supports must be used every 4 ft so that the venting system slopes down back to the FT boiler by 3/8″ per ft and no sags can be present in the venting system.Start the installation by installing the FT3002 Stub Out Kit directly in the FT Boiler Combustion Air and Vent connectors..
The 2 PP pieces of the FT3002 kit can be reduced in length, make sure to cut the exact same length from each piece, not to exceed 6-1/2″. Assemble the parts in the following order:

10. The required length of the horizontal or vertical sections may be created with the addition of straight lengths of 3PPC-P500 (19.69”) and/or 3PPC-P1000 Concentric Pipe (39.37”).
11. A vertical system will be terminated with the 3″ x 5″ concentric vertical termination, 3PPC-VCT.
12. A horizontal venting system will be terminated with the 3″x5″ concentric horizontal termination, 3PPC-HCT.

4.10.5 Duravent PPS Concentric System to an existing Heat-Fab SC venting system
Fully read these instructions in order to connect to an existing Heat-Fab SC concentric stainless steel concentric venting system. Before starting the actual installation work, determine the routing of the new venting components and where these parts will connect to the existing components.
There might be existing boiler installations that have a Heat Fab SC 3″ x 5″ concentric venting system. It might be possible to re-use portions of that venting system.
Carefully inspect the original system before deciding to use it. The near boiler portions of the venting system will need to be replaced in order to connect to the new FT boiler.
NOTE: If the existing vent system is horizontal and terminated by a “Vent Terminal Extension” on the outside wall of the building, that “Vent Terminal Extension” including a downward exhaust termination is not appropriate for a condensing boiler like the FT Boiler and the entire system will need to be replaced.
Refer to Section 4.10.2 for detailed instructions for installing a completely new concentric stainless steel venting system. (See Section 4.10.4 for installing a completely new concentric Duravent PP concentric venting system).
If the existing venting system is a horizontal run, the slope of that system will need to be changed. As installed, that system required a downward slope of ¼” per foot toward the outside wall. The venting system for FT boiler requires a slope of 3/8” per foot back toward the boiler so that condensate will drain back to the boiler and be eliminated. To change the slope, the vent pipe hangers will need to be adjusted or replaced.
The centerline of the flue on the FT boiler is 3.9” (99 mm) from the back of the boiler cabinet. The centerline of the flue on the existing boiler is 9” (229 mm) from the back of the boiler cabinet. If the FT boiler can be installed so that its cabinet back is 5” (127 mm) further forward from the back wall than the existing boiler, then the FT boiler vent and the venting system will be in alignment. If, however, the boiler location for the FT boiler, with respect to the back wall, cannot be changed, 45° offset fittings will be required to bring the centerline of the FT vent forward to align with the existing vent assembly.
The FT boiler has separate Combustion Air and Vent connections. Using the Parts Kits indicated in the following instructions, it can be connected with a PP Concentric Vent System.
If this 5″ offset in the venting system is required, it can be achieved in 2 ways.
Option 1: Assemble the elbows in an FT3001 Elbow Kit to form two offset assemblies. Ensure that the elbows bottom out and tighten the clamps.
Option 2: Use 2 45° Duravent concentric elbows (3PPC-E45) and install them in off-set fashion into the concentric vention as described below.

Venting Assembly Process:

1. Start the installation by installing only the 2 stainless to PP adapters of the P/N FT3002 Stub Out Kit, directly in the FT boiler Combustion Air and Vent sockets. Ensure that all connections bottom out and tighten the clamps on the boiler vent connectors. FT3001 Offset Kit**
   ITEM NUMBER| QUANTITY| PART NUMBER| DESCRIPTION**

   1| 4| 810014537| 3˝ Dia 45° Elbow – Single Wall
   2| 4| 810014538| 3˝ Dia Locking Clamp

2. If the above mentioned 5″ offset is required, install now the 2 pre-assembled off-set assemblies into each stainless to PP adaptor. Then install the 2 PP lengths into the Stub-out kit (FT3002)(Option 1 solution for off-set).
   NOTE: Do not overtighten the connections until the entire system is put together.

3. If FT3001 Elbow kit is not required, the complete Stub-out kit (FT3002) can be installed or off-set option 2 is selected, the length of the 2 PP portions can be shortened; make sure to cut the same length from each pipe. Do not cut more that 6-1/2″ from each pipe.
   Assemble the parts in the following order:

FT3003 PP to Heat-Fab Kit 4.10.6 Flexible Chimney Liner Venting
A masonry chimney may be used as a chase for vertically venting the FT boiler. The parts and instructions are available from DuraVent distributors.
Please refer to the Table 8. The vent parts used within the chimney must all be PP Flex components and be installed in accordance with the detailed Installation Instructions provided with the parts. Those instructions are for the installation of the vent from the top of the chimney (including the Termination) to a point at the bottom of the chimney. From this point, use single wall PP pipe to connect to the exhaust connection on the boiler.
For FT Boilers replacing boilers utilizing B Vent chimneys, parts are also available to use the existing B Vent chimney as a chase for the PP Flex. As with the masonry chimney, the PP Flex is only used within the chimney and must be connected to rigid PP pipe from that point to the exhaust connection of the FT Boiler. Three (3) 90 degree elbows and up to 15 ft feet of rigid 3″ PP pipe are allowed.
3″ rigid PP pipe is required from the bottom of the PP Flex liner to the exhaust connection of the FT Boiler. The maximum allowable length of PP Flex pipe is 50 feet of three (3) inch diameter Flex pipe.

4.16.1 External Plumbing and Water Connection Guidelines
– Ensure pipe material meets local codes and industry standards.
– The pipe end must be clean and free of debris.
– Do not apply torch heat within 12˝ of the top connections of the unit.
– The DHW inlet and outlet connections are 3/4”. The Boiler supply and return connections are 1-1/2” NPT. System piping should be sized based on your design load and flow requirements. Refer to sections 4.16.4 through 4.16.8 for details.
– Isolation valves (shutoff valve) will be used.
– All piping should be insulated.
4.16.2 Applicable Backflow Preventer
– Apply a backflow preventer valve in the DHW supply inlet (water Inlet) to the unit as required by local codes.
– When using the combi boiler in a DHW recirculation application ensure that any backflow preventer or check valve is installed upstream of the cold water supply to the mixing valve. A DHW expansion tank is recommended. See DHW piping section 4.16.4
4.16.3 Diaphragm type Expansion tank and external LWCO mounting.
– The air in a diaphragm-type expansion tank is separated from the water by a flexible rubber membrane. When the tank is installed in and connected to the piping of the system, water enters the other side of the tank chamber and presses down on the diaphragm.
– You should always install an ‘Automatic Air Vent on the top of the air separator to remove residual air from the system.
– Install the supplied brass adaptor, automatic air vent and relief valve on the top front right piping connection.
– If an external LWCO is required/ desired, the horizontal body of the brass adaptor fittings has a 3/4” connection for a remote LWCO.
– If no DHW recirc is installed, use the furnished 3/4” brass cap to close off the DHW recirc connection.
CAUTION
The built-in LLH allows direct piping of system supply and return connections to their respective connections on top right side of the boiler. This greatly simplifies near boiler piping in a replacement application. Do NOT use primary/secondary piping!
CH pipe size : 1 1/2˝
DWH pipe size : 3/4˝
CAUTION
For guidelines in the use of Glycol Products. Please refer to Section 8.4 on page 84
CAUTION
Scalding Risk: Manufacturer requires the installation of the supplied anti- scald mixing valve at domestic hot water outlet (boiler location) to reduce potential for scalding. See Figure in Section 4.16.4 for DHW piping details. Check with local codes. 4.16.4 DHW Piping including DHW Recirculation Piping

The FTCF199 boiler is capable of operating a DHW recirc pump along with receiving an input signal from either an DHW aquastat or 10 KOhm thermistor for sensing DHW temperature.

An anti-scald thermostatic mixing valve is included with each FTCF199 and MUST be installed as outlined below. A thermal trap as shown must be installed.
The bold lined recirc piping is optional and would be field installed.

1. This piping diagram is meant to show DHW system piping concept only. Installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required per code. It is strongly recommended to properly insulate the DHW recirc line to minimize heat losses.
2. Service and isolation valves in the potable water connections are recommended for future service of the DHW coil.
3. A PRV valve must be installed on the hot outlet connection before any external shut-offs. The discharge pipe must be piped within 6″ to 12″ of a nearby floor drain.
4. Note that the 3/4″ recirculation connection has a built-in flow check installed within the first internal elbow of the 3/4″ recirc line.
5. An optional potable water check valve and potable water thermal expansion tank is recommended after the last cold water draw and before the mixing valve cold tapping in case of a DHW recirculation loop. (As shown above).
6. Manufacturer requires the use of an anti-scald mixing valve at the domestic hot water outlet (boiler location) to reduce potential for scalding. An approved anti-scald valve is included in the accessory box. Check with local codes.

Wiring for DHW recirculation loop pump controlled by the FTCF boiler

1. When using a DHW recirculation loop, install the DHW recirc sensor (Optional item: part no: FT1868) by strapping it on the recirculation line close to the boiler and insulate the assembly. Use 18 gauge wire and connect the DHW-R sensor to DHW recirc terminals.
2. The operation of the DHW recirc pump is programmed as per the Installer menu, section 5.8.
3. A dry contact aquastat can also be used for measuring the DHW recirc water temperature in lieu of the optional DHW recirc sensor by installing the aquastat into a dry well (not provided). Refer to section 5.8 for proper programming.
4. The FTCF boiler can also control a small recirc pump without DHW-R sensor or recirc aquastat. In this case the boiler will control the recirc pump operation based on parameters 32 and 33 in section 5.8 and cycle the recirc pump based on these parameter values.

NOTE: This space is intentionally left blank.
4.16.5 Zoning with zone valves
– In a zone valve based system, there is one circulator pump and each heating zone has a zone valve which opens when the zone demands heat.
– Each thermostat is wired directly to the corresponding zone valve. Contacts in the zone valves provide a call for heat to the zone relay panel when the valve is opened.
NOTE: The signal back to the T/T terminals on the FT Floor boiler must be a dry contact. Do NOT send a 24 V signal to the FT Floor boiler.
NOTE: Be aware of potential for gravity flow in your system. Make sure to install a flow check valve where necessary.
Refer to section 4.16.4 for detailed DHW piping for the FT Floor Combi boiler.

1.  This piping diagram is meant to show system piping concept only. Installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local codes.
2. The system return must be piped directly to the Boiler Return connection.
3. The system supply must be piped directly to the Boiler Supply connection.
4. The minimum pipe size of DHW piping should be 3/4” diameter.
5. Manufacturer requires the use of an anti-scald mixing valve at domestic hot water outlet (boiler location) to reduce potential for scalding. An approved anti-scald valve is included in the accessory box. Check with local codes.

Wiring of zone valve system with an optional high temp “on demand” zone with dedicated pump.

1. Taco ZVC 404 used for illustrative purposes; other, similar zone valve control panels can be used.
2. Connect the end switch of the zone valve panel back to the T/T terminals on the FTCF boiler.

6. In case an “on-demand” high temperature zone is required, use a single pump relay and wire its pump and thermostat to this relay. The end switch is connected to the H-T/T terminals. A contact closure to H-T/T brings the boiler into a high temperature status, operates the boiler pump continually and maintains the LLH between 160 and 180 F.

NOTE: While H-T/T is calling, other zones will still be allowed to demand heat and will therefore receive high temperature supply water. Caution should be used with zones that could be damaged by high temperature supply water such as radiant underfloor zones. Zone mixing valves for these individual zones is strongly encouraged.
4.16.6 Zoning with a single pump

1. In a single zone system, an external zone pump is required and is wired directly back to the boiler to the system pump wiring terminals.
2. The zone thermostat (dry contract only) is wired back to the T-T connection on the low voltage terminal strip in the boiler.

Do not operate this appliance before the pressure relief valve supplied is installed with sufficient relieving capacity in accordance with the ASME Rating Plate on the boiler.

• A special brass adaptor, air eliminator and relief valve are supplied in an accessory box. Install this fitting on the right front connection as shown here.

• This safety relief valve (30 psi) is shipped loose for field installation.

• Install the air eliminator and relief valve as shown.

• For safety , the relief valve(s) must be installed into its designated location and not be removed or plugged.

• Failure to comply with the guidelines on installing the pressure relief valves and discharge piping can result in personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

• Direct the discharge piping of the pressure relief valve to a nearby floor drain so that hot water will not splash on anyone or any nearby equipment. Attach the hard piped copper discharge line to the pressure relief valve and run the end of the line within 6-12″ (150 – 300mm) of the floor.

• A separate extenal LWCO can be installed by removing the 3/4” cap on the brass adaptor to install the LWCO.
  WARNING
  DO NOT install a CH pipe line relief valve with a pressure higher than 30 psi and a DHW pressure relief valve with a pressure rating above 150 psi. This is the maximum allowable relief valve setting for the combination boiler.

• Test the operation of the valve after filling and pressurizing system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve. Ensure that the discharge capacity of the pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the maximum input rating of the combination boiler.

• Ensure that the maximum BTU/H rating on the pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the maximum input BTU/H rating of the combination boiler.

• Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the provided CH Pressure Relief valve tapping at the top of the Combi (CH supply line: maximum 30 psi, DHW outlet line : maximum 150 psi). No other valves should be placed between the pressure relief valve and the appliance.

• Place a 150 psi PRV on DHW outlet piping as close to the unit as possible.

• This appliance has a high-temperature shut off switch built in as a standard safety feature. Therefore a “pressure only” relief valve is required.

4.18 Disposal of Condensate

• High efficiency gas condensing boilers create condensation when operating. Condensation is acidic with a pH ranging from 4 to 5.
•  Attach the supplied condensate drain hose to the installed condensate trap. Make sure to attach the 1/8” air vent tube and secure this 6” long hose to a bracket so it will not spill condensate. Follow your local code with regards to the disposal of condensation.

One of 3 disposal methods must be followed

1. to a floor drain
2. Combination neutralizer and condensate pump kit (optional kit available from manufacturer)
3. to a condensate pump (field supplied)

• If a neutralizer is installed, periodic replacement of the lime stone (or neutralizing agent) will be required. The rate of depletion of the lime stone varies upon usage of the boiler. During the first year of operation, please check the neutralizer every few months for depletion.
• Apply only corrosion-resistant materials for the condensate drain lines such as 1/2˝ PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene pipe or included plastic hose.
• In case of a closet installation, a combination neutralizer/pump (FT3007 kit) can be installed by removing the lower left access panel, an electrical outlet (Max amp rating: 2 Amp) is provided to power the condensate pump.
• Overall dimensions can not exceed 15-7/8” (L) x 5-7/16” (W) x 6-3/4” (H) in order to fit inside the boiler cabinet.

NOTICE
Category II & IV boilers must be installed with a means provided for the drainage of condensate.
CAUTION
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and may harm some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe, and anything that will come in contact with the condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize the condensate before disposal. Damage caused by failure to install a neutralizer kit or to adequately treat condensate will not be the manufacturer’s responsibility.

• If desired, a discharge 1/4” or 3/8” can be routed by removing yellow cap from the top right rear corner and routing the hose down to the condensate pump.
• Knock-out provisions are supplied in the lower left, rear or right hand side panels to rout the condensate to a nearby floor drain or externally placed condensate pump.
• Cut a small opening in the plastic grommet and pull the discharge hose through the opening for strain relief.
• When placing the FT3007 kit inside the cabinet, drill a 1/2” hole in the cover of the neutralizer section and secure the condensate hose coming from the trap to this cover. One can also use the soft plastic insert, shorten the condensate drain hose and carefully “thread” the hose into this insert and place it into its designation location of the FT3007 kit.

4.19 DHW Flow Restrictor

• When using the DHW recirc functionality of the boiler, one MUST use either an aquastat or DHW sensor (P/N FT1868) external to the DHW recirc inlet connection on the boiler. Program P31 accordingly.
  NOTE: During Holiday Mode operation, the control operates the DHW recirc pump (if used) based on the timings of P32 and P33. Make sure to keep the value of P33 small to avoid “overheating” the DHW recirc line.
  5.9 Outdoor Reset Adjustment
  Outdoor Reset varies the control set point based on the outdoor temperature. The reset function works as shown in Figure ‘CH Outdoor Reset’. When the outdoor air temperature reaches 6:OH “high outdoor temperature set point”, the control point setting is adjusted to 17:cL “low boiler temperature set point”. When the outdoor air temperature reaches 7:OL “low outdoor temperature set point” the control set point is adjusted to 16:cH “high boiler temperature”. Default Warm Weather Shut Down set point is 100°F (38°C)The Outdoor Temperature Mode Icon on the display will flash if an Outdoor Sensor or 0-10 Volt is not connected to the appliance.
  To check the CH Target Temperature while using Outdoor Temperature Mode, press the button while the appliance is operational and the display panel is powered on.
  NOTE: In this example, the Summer Mode (Warm Weather Shut-down) is set to 80F° (= P15).
  Connect the outdoor sensor to terminal strip as outlined 4.20 Electrical Connections.
  5.10 External Set Point Temperature Control
  A signal from a building management system may be connected to the appliance to enable remote control. This signal should be a 0-10 volt DC signal. When this input is enabled, a building control system can be used to control the set point temperature of the appliance.
  The control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between 0 and 1.5 volts, the appliance will be in standby mode, not firing.
  When the signal rises above 1.5 volts, the appliance will ignite. As the signal continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the appliance will increase in set point temperature. Adjust 16:cH and 17:cL to set MIN and MAX boiler water temperatures respectively.
  Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to the terminals marked for this purpose on the appliance terminal block (shown in Piping Diagrams, this manual). Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.
  Connect to terminal strip as outlined 4.20 Electrical Connections.
  NOTE: 0 – 10VDC terminals can not be used for both outdoor reset and 0 – 10VDC temp set point simultaneously.

SECTION 8 Maintenance

8.1 Annual startup & general maintenance

• Regular Maintenance
  – This Manual should be placed in a safe and dry location near the Combination boiler. Maintenance instructions should be carried out by the following guidelines.

• Maintenance procedures [ Daily ] – Check that the boiler front cover is closed.
  The front cover must be installed with both top latches tightened while the boiler is in operation.

WARNING
To prevent potential severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage, remove all contaminates or contaminated materials immediately from the area around the boiler. If exposed to contaminated materials, call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler for possible damage from acid corrosion.
WARNING
DO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or any other flammable vapors or liquids near the Boiler. Remove them immediately or store them other places. – Check the power source.
Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected. The main power line is connected to the manual switch box inside a combination boiler. (Power line through the strain relief in the bottom of the combination boiler casing and fix it.)
– Check the status of the control panel
Check status of the power supply. Please check for any debris on the button.
• Maintenance procedures [ Monthly ] – Check the vent pipe.
Visually inspect the flue gas vent piping for detecting any signs of blockage, leakage or deterioration of the piping. Please contact a qualified service technician immediately if you find any problem.
– Check the air inlet pipe.
Visually inspect the air inlet piping and combustion. Inspect entire length of air piping for ensuring that piping is intact and all joints are properly sealed. To remove the combustion air filter (located on the left pipe), remove 2 holding screws and carefully slide out filter assembly. Clean throroughly and put back in. Make sure no debvris fell into the boiler. Call your qualified service technician if you notice any problems.
– Check the relief valve.
Inspect the Combination boiler relief valve and the relief valve discharge pipe for any signs of weeping or leakage. If the relief valve often weeps, immediately contact your qualified service technician for inspecting the Combination boiler and system.
– Check the condensate outlet.
While the Combination boiler is running, check the discharge end of the condensate drain tubing. Make sure that no flue gas is escaping from the condensate drain tubing.
If flue gas is continuously escaping, it is a serious problem. Shut off the boiler and immediately. Call your qualified service technician for inspecting the Combination boiler and condensate line. Also, refill the condensate trap if problem persists regularly.
– Check the vent terminal screen vent (rodent screen).
If you encounter a problem of combustion performance, visually inspect the terminal screen. And then replace it with spare parts or clean the screens.
– Check the air vent
If the air vent valve seems to work freely without leaking, close cap A fully.
Loosen cap “A” one turn to allow vent to operate. If vent does not operate correctly, replace the vent.• Maintenance procedures [Every 6 Months] – Check the boiler piping (gas and water)
Visually inspect for leaks around internal water piping. Also inspect external water piping, circulators, relief valve and fittings. Immediately call a qualified service technician to repair any leaks.
Leaks must be repaired by a qualified service technician immediately.
Failure to comply with this instruction could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
– Check the pressure relief valve
WARNING
Leaks must be fixed by a qualified service technician immediately. Failure to comply with this instruction could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. This discharge line must be installed by a qualified heating installer or a service technician.
Before proceeding, verify that relief valve outlet has been piped to a safe place of discharge within 6 to 12” from a suitable floor drain, avoiding any possibility of scalding from hot water. If water flows freely, release the lever and allow the valve to seat. Watch the end of the relief valve discharge pipe to ensure that the valve does not weep after the line has had time to drain. If the valve weeps, lift the seat again to attempt to clean the valve seat. If the valve continues to weep, contact your qualified service technician for inspecting the valve and system. If water does not flow from the valve even though you have lifted the lever completely, the valve or discharge line may be blocked. Shut down the Combination boiler immediately. Call your qualified service technician to inspect the combination boiler and system.
– Check the burner state
You can clean the exterior of burner with a vacuum hose or dry cloth.. However, if you need to clean the inside of the burner stage, you should call a qualified service technician.
8.2 Flushing the Combination Boiler
Flushing the DHW Heat Exchanger is a complicated procedure that should only be done by an authorized technician or licensed professional. Keep in mind that improper maintenance can void your warranty.

1. Disconnect electric power to the combination boiler.

2. It is highly recommended to have 3/4” service and isolation valves installed on both DHW lines.

3. Connect hose “D1” to the valve “V3” and place the free end in the bucket (as shown in the illustration below). Connect hose “D3” to the circulation pump outlet and the cold water inlet line at the valve “V4”. Connect hose “D2” to the circulation pump inlet and place the free end in the bucket.

4. Pour the cleaning solution into the bucket. Place the drain hose (D1) and the hose (D2) to the pump inlet into the cleaning solution.

5. Open service valves (V3 & V4) on the hot water outlet and cold water inlet lines.

6. Turn on the circulation pump (Operate the pump and allow the cleaning solution to circulate through the combination boiler for at least 1 hour at a rate of 4 gallons per minute.)

7. Rinse the cleaning solution from the combination boiler as follows:
   – Remove the free end of the drain hose (D1) from the bucket.
   – Close service valve, (V4), and open shut off valve, (V2). Do not open shut off valve, (V1).
   – Allow water to flow through the combination boiler for 5 minutes.
   – Close shut off valve (V2).

8. Ensure service valves are closed (V3 and V4) and shut off valves are open (V1 and V2).

9. Disconnect all hoses.

10. Open top left access panel and have a few towels available to mop up any water.

11. Remove the cold water inlet filter from the combination boiler and clean out any residues.

12. Reinsert the filter and ensure the filter cap is securely tightened. Reinstall top left access panel.

13. Connect electrical power to the combination boiler.

8.3 Draining and Cleaning

1. Disconnect electrical power to the combination boiler.
2. Close the external manual gas shut-off valve near the appliance. Remove top left access panel. Have a few towels handy to mop up any water.
3. Close water supply valve on the inlet to the appliance. If there is no valve, turn off main water valve.
4. Open the hot water faucets completely.
5. Remove the Cold Water Inlet filter by removing the two small pins and then pulling the filter upward at an angle. If your system is using a flow restrictor, be sure that the flow restrictor is also cleaned and placed back into the system during re-assembly.
6. Clean them with a toothbrush and clean running water.
7. To refill the combination boiler, reassemble the filters back into the combination boiler and reverse steps 5 back to 1.

8.4 Freeze Protection
NOTICE
Different glycol products may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol products must be maintained properly in a heating system, or they may become ineffective. Consult the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer, for information about specific products, maintenance of solutions, and set up according to your particular conditions.
NOTICE
Not all pumps are capable of maintaining the reduced temperature rise required with glycol concentrations greater than 35%.
FT Boilers are certified for indoor use only, and are not design-certified for placement outdoors.
Proper precautions for freeze protection are recommended for boiler installations in areas where the danger of freezing exists.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of system components, activation of safety devices, etc., may prevent a boiler from firing. Any time a boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not able to fire, and/or the water is not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes, it expands which may result in bursting of pipes, or damage to the boiler, which could result in leaking or flooding conditions.
WARNING
Do NOT use automotive antifreeze or ethylene glycol. Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions which are specially formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets, seals, and metallic components used in hydronic systems. A correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level is critical.
Some items to consider are

• Consider the effects of reduced heat transfer and an increase in head pressure against the system circulator. For example: A 30% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU output loss of 15% with a 5% increase in head against the system circulator.
• Glycol mixtures should not exceed 40%. A 50% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU output loss of 30% with a 50% increase in head against the system circulator. Glycol concentrations above 40% by volume can lead to short cycling of the burner.
• The glycol solution should be tested as recommended by the glycol manufacturer but not less than annually. Some items of concern are pH additive breakdown, inhibitor reduction, etc.
• Glycol/antifreeze solutions expand more than water; therefore, system design must take this into account. For example: a 40% by volume solution expands 4.8% in volume for a temperature increase from 32◦F to 180◦F, while water expands 3% over the same temperature rise.

CAUTION
It is highly recommended to follow the manufacturers recommended concentrations, expansion requirements, and maintenance recommendations. You must carefully calculate the additional friction loss in the system as well as the reduction in the heat transfer coefficients.
NOTICE
Do not exceed a 40% glycol concentration by volume as it may result in short cycling of the burner.
