Any building utilizing other gas burning appliances, a fireplace, wood stove or any type of exhaust fan must be checked for adequate combustion air when all of these devices are in operation at one time. Sizing of an outside air duct must be done to meet the requirements of all such devices.
WARNING: Never operate the Futera II in an environment subjected to a negative pressure unless it is Direct Vented. Failure to comply with this warning can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide causing severe personal injury or death!

All Air From Inside The Building
If the Futera II is to be located in a confined space, the minimum clearances listed in Table 1 must be maintained between it and any combustible construction. When installed in a confined space without the intake air option, Figures 7, 8 and 9, two permanent openings communicating with an additional room(s) are required. The combined volume of these spaces must have sufficient volume to meet the criteria for an unconfined space. The total air requirements of all gas utilization equipment, fireplaces, wood stoves or any type of exhaust fan must be considered when making this determination. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1 in² /1000 Btu/ hr, 2200 mm² /kW based on the total input rating of ALL gas utilization equipment in the confined area. Each opening must be no less than 100 in², 64,516 mm² in size. The upper opening must be within 12 in, 305 mm of, but not less than 3 in, 76 mm from, the top of the enclosure. The bottom opening must be within 12 in, 305 mm of, but not less than 3 in, 76 mm from, the bottom of the enclosure.

All Air From Outside The Building
When installed in a confined space without utilizing the intake air option two permanent openings communicatingdirectly with, or by ducts to, the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors must be present. Theupper opening must be within 12 in, 305 mm of, but not less than 3 in, 76 mm from, the top of the enclosure. The bottom opening must be within 12 in, 305 mm of, but not less than 3 in, 76 mm from, the bottom of the enclosure.

Where directly communicating with the outdoors or communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in² /4000 Btu/hr, 550 mm² /kW of the total input rating of all of the equipment in the enclosure.
Where communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in² /2000 Btu/hr, 1100 mm² /kW of the total input rating of all of the equipment in the enclosure.
When ducts are used, they must have the same crosssectional area as the free area of the opening to which they connect.
When calculating the free area necessary to meet the make-up air requirements of the enclosure, consideration must be given to the blockage effects of louvers, grills and screens. Screens must have a minimum mesh size of 1/4 in, 6.4 mm. If the free area through a louver or grill is not known, ducts should be sized per Table 2.

Canadian installations must comply with CSA B149.1 when air supply is provided by natural air flow from the outdoors for natural draft, partial fan-assisted, fan-assisted, or power draft-assisted burners, there shall be a permanent air supply opening(s) having a cross-sectional area of not less than 1 in² per 7,000 Btuh (310 mm² per kW) up to and including 1 million Btuh, plus 1 in² per 14,000 Btuh (155 mm² per kW) in excess of 1 million Btuh.

Intake Air Option – General Guidelines
This configuration provides combustion air directly to the boiler/water heater’s air intake using a dedicated pipe when using the direct vent option. The RBI air intake adapter must be fitted to the blower inlet. Combustion air can be drawn in horizontally through the same outside wall which terminates the exhaust gases or vertically through the roof, see Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.

WARNING: Common intake air systems may be used provided the common duct is sized properly and an intake combustion air damper is installed in the intake air pipe of each heater. Improper installation can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or death!

All joints in metal intake air systems must be secured using corrosion resistant fasteners and sealed using a suitable Silicone caulk. If PVC or CPVC is used, the joints must be cleaned with a suitable solvent and connected using a solvent based PVC cement. The combustion air system MUST be supported by the building structure not the boiler/water heater.
CAUTION: A combustion air damper interlocked with the unit should be installed in the intake air pipe when the infiltration of subfreezing air could occur, otherwise the unit could freeze up voiding the warranty!
Intake Air Option – Vertical Guidelines
The maximum equivalent length for the vertical intake air pipe is 60 ft, 18.3 m. Each 90° elbow and the intake air terminal are equal to 10 linear ft, 3.1 m of pipe.
An approved, nonrestrictive intake air terminal must be used. The intake air terminal must terminate as shown in Figure 5. The penetration point in the roof must be properly flashed and sealed.

Intake Air Option – Horizontal Guidelines
The maximum equivalent length for the horizontal combustion air pipe on installations that used the Direct Vent option is 60 ft, 18.3 m. The maximum equivalent length for the horizontal combustion air pipe on installations that use the Horizontal Power Vent option is 100 ft, 30.5 m. Each 90° elbow and the combustion air terminal are equal to 10 linear ft, 3.1 m of pipe. If horizontal runs exceed 5 ft, 1.5 m they must be supported at 3 ft, 0.9 m intervals with overhead hangers. The certified combustion air terminal from RBI must be used and installed as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES

WARNING: The vent installation must be in accordance with Part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54- latest revision or applicable provisions of the local building codes. Canadian installations must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 Installation Code. See Figure A for added Clarity. Improper venting can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can result in severe personal injury or death!
All vent systems must be fully supported by the building structure and not by the boiler/water heater. Appropriate thimbles and fire-stops must be used where required.
WARNING: Common vent systems must be properly engineered and sized to provide a negative draft of 0.01 to 0.08 in, 0.25 to 2.0 mm W.C. at the flue outlet. Common positive pressure vent systems are not to be used. Improper installation can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide, which can cause severe personal injury or death!
NOTE: Multi-story, common venting systems shall be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 and/or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (Current Editions), local codes and vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. Size the chimney and breeching using generally accepted engineering practices. (Consult factory for vertical heights beyond 60 ft.)
NOTE: A single acting barometric damper must beinstalled directly to the boiler/water heater flue outlet, ifrequired. This does not apply to outdoor units or directvent positive pressure units.
NOTE: Some venting applications may require the stop to be removed for smooth operation. The barometric damper should be located after the flue collector, refer to Figures 2, 7A and 8 for proper location. Be sure that the damper is mounted horizontally (never vertically). Carefully follow the instructions provided with the barometric damper.
In Canada, B149 (7.25 Draft Regulators) states the damper shall be of double- acting type.
WARNING: To avoid spillage into the room of dangerous flue gas containing carbon monoxide, the opening in damper must never face against the flow of flue gas.
WARNING: Boiler/Water Heater shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.

VENT SYSTEM OPTIONS

The Futera II may be vented the following ways:

1. Direct Vent, Positive Pressure, Category III uses a vent system certified to UL 1738 for installations in the United States, ULC S636 for installations in Canada. Combustion air is piped from the outdoors to the blower inlet.
2. Side Wall Vent, Positive Pressure, Category III uses a vent system certified to UL 1738 for installations in the United States, ULC S636 for installations in Canada. Combustion air is obtained from the space in which the unit is installed.
3. Horizontal Vent, Negative Pressure, Category I for horizontal vent runs equivalent to more than 60 ft, 18.3 m (use Table 3 for the equivalent lengths per fitting), a dedicated wall mounted power venter must be used. The vent system can be single wall galvanized steel or type B vent pipe. Combustion air is obtained from the space in which the unit is installed or from the outdoors. A power venter including a barometric damper must be installed when the horzontal run is longer than 60 equivalent feet (use Table 3 for the equivalent lengths per fitting).
4. Vertical/Chimney Vent, Negative Pressure, Category I uses an approved metal chimney system or masonry chimney. Combustion air is obtained from the space in which the unit is installed. A barometric damper must be installed near the flue outlet when venting vertically.
5. Outdoor Installation uses the outdoor option kit. Barometric damper is not required.

NOTE: All venting, combustion air material supplied by installer.
WARNING: The maximum equivalent length for the flue outlet vent system for Category III conditions is 60 ft, 18.3 m. Use Table 3 for the equivalent lengths per fitting. Table 3 “Category III Equivalent Length Per Fitting” chart is meant as a guideline for preliminary sizing. If vent length approaches 75% of maximum length listed an engineered vent system calculation must be performed, consult factory.

It must not terminate less than 4 ft, 1.2 m horizontally from, and in no case above or below, unless a 4 ft, 1.2 m horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment and not less than 7 ft, 2.1 m from any adjacent public walkway.The bottom of the vent terminal(s) shall be located at least 5 ft, 1.5 m above the air intake terminal(s) unless there is a minimum 5 ft, 1.5 m horizontal separation between them. Avoid terminal locations likely to be affected by winds, snowdrifts, people and pets. Protect building materials and vegetation from degradation caused by the flue gases.

To determine the appropriate power venter for the boiler/water heater, see Table 4. Follow the power venter manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Table 4 – Power Venter Sizes

VERTICAL/CHIMNEY VENT, NEGATIVE PRESSURE, CATEGORY I

The Futera II is listed as a Category I appliance when vented vertically into a listed metal chimney system or properly sized masonry chimney, Figures 8 & 9. The chimney must provide a negative pressure of 0.01 to 0.08 in, 0.25 to 2.0 mm WC at the boiler/water heater flue collar with the unit running. A barometric damper must be attached directly to the flue collar increaser as shown.
Multiple Futera II’s can be vented into a single vertical chimney provided that the breeching and chimney are properly sized per the latest revision of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
When more than one appliance is connected to the same chimney flue, the flue must be large enough to safely vent the combined output of all of the appliances.

WARNING: If an appliance using any type of a mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure is connected to a chimney flue, never connect any other appliances to this flue. Doing so can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or death!

Chimney Inspection & Sizing
A thorough inspection of the masonry chimney must be performed to ensure that the chimney is clean, properly constructed and properly sized. Exterior masonry chimneys should not be used unless properly lined to prevent condensation and draft problems. Table 5 lists the mimimum riser connection diameters, negative pressure required for the boiler/water heater.

Table 5 – Minimum Riser Connection, Negative
Pressure

Note: Vent system must be sized per tables contained in NFPA 54 or an engineered system.

Vent Connections
Locate the boiler/water heater as close to the chimney as possible. Use the shortest, straightest vent connector possible for the installation. If horizontal runs exceed 5 ft, 1.5 m they must be supported at 3 ft, 0.9 m intervals with overhead hangers. Use a type B, single wall stainless or single wall galvanized steel vent pipe the same diameter as the flue collar to connect the boiler/water heater to a masonry chimney, see Figure 2. When using a listed metal chimney system use the appropriate vent connector.
The vent connector should be sloped up toward the chimney at a minimum rate of 1/4 in/ft, 21 mm/m. On masonry chimneys the connector must terminate flush with the inside of the chimney flue, Figure 9. Fasten each single wall vent connection with at least 3 corrosion resistant sheet metal screws.
Always provide a minimum clearance of 6 in, 152 mm between single wall vent pipe and any combustible materials. Type B1 vent may be used, clearance between it and any combustible material must be as listed.
WARNING: Failure to maintain minimum clearances between vent connectors and any combustible material can result in a fire causing extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!

OUTDOOR VENTING
When installed outdoors the Futera III must be fitted with the factory supplied outdoor hood, air intake adapter with filter and exhaust terminal, see Figure 7A. Multiple units must be spaced per Figure 7B.
The boiler/heater must be at least 2 ft, .62 m from any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building and at least 3 ft, 1 m from any overhang unless local codes dictate differently.

Avoid locations where wind deflection off of adjacent walls, buildings or shrubbery might cause a downdraft. The unit(s) shouild be located at least 3 ft, 1 m from structures. Outdoor installations are not recommended in areas where the danger of snow blockage exists.
CAUTION: Do not place the boiler/water heater in a location that would subject it to runoff from adjacent buildings or damage may occur voiding the warranty!

COMMON VENT SYSTEMS

If an existing boiler/water heater is removed from acommon venting system, the common venting system maythen be too large for the proper venting of the remaining appliances connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler/water heater, the following steps shall befollowed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while theother appliances remaining connected to the commonventing system are not in operation.

a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
b) 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.
c) 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 exhaust, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan for a boiler installation. Close fireplace dampers.
d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
e) 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.
h) 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.
g) 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 Appendix F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 and or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.

GENERAL PIPING REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: Improper piping of this boiler/water heater will void the manufacturer’s warranty and can cause boiler failure resulting in flooding and extensive property damage! Excessive water hardness causing scaling in the copper heat exchanger tubes is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Excessive pitting and erosion of the internal surface of the copper heat exchanger tubes is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty if the result of high water flow rates, see Table 5. Return water temperatures below 125°F, 52°C will result in heat exchanger damage from excessive condensation voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, see Primary / Secondary Piping, Figure 13.
NOTE: Shut off valves and unions should be installed at the inlet and outlet connections of the boiler/hot water heater to provide for isolation of the unit should servicing be necessary.

Freeze Protection
This boiler/water heater is CSA designed certified for out- door installation. Outdoor installations in areas where the danger of freezing exists are not recommended unless proper freeze protection is provided. The following precautions MUST be observed:

1. A continuous flow of water through the unit MUST be maintained! The pump responsible for flow through the boiler/water heater must run continuously!
2. A propylene glycol/water mixture suitable for the minimum temperature that the unit will be exposed to must be used. The pump must be capable of producing a minimum of 15% more flow and overcoming a 20% increase in head loss. Domestic water systems must be isolated from the water heater by the use of a heat exchanger or other approved method.
3. If the unit must be shut off for any reason the electric, gas and water supplies MUST be shut off and the unit and its pump completely drained.

CAUTION: Improper outdoor installation of this unit can cause boiler failure voiding the manufacturer’s warranty!
For systems requiring glycol for freeze protection use a glycol/ water mix that prevents foaming. Air entrapped within foam significantly decreases heat transfer and can result in damage to the heat exchanger. Products such as DOWFROST, DOWTHERM, UCARTHERM or an equivalent product must be used to ensure proper protection to the boiler.

The water used for dilution of concentrated heat transfer fluids must be distilled, de-ionized, or equivalently clean as stated above. De-ionized water by itself can be aggressive towards many metals, but is perfectly safe when used for dilution of DOWFROST, DOWTHERM or UCARTHERM as specified by the manufacturer.

Relief Valve
Pipe the discharge of the pressure relief valve as shown in Figure 12.
WARNING: Never install any type of valve between the boiler/water heater and the relief valve or an explosion causing extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death may occur!

Flow Switch
The flow switch is provided to prove flow is present through the boiler. The temperature rise across the primary heat exchanger must never exceed 35°F, 19.4°C.
CAUTION: Failure to properly install the flow switch may result in damage to the boiler/water heater heat exchanger voiding the warranty!

HEATING SYSTEM PIPING

General Piping Requirements
All heating system piping must be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the latest revision of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, and ANSI/ASME CSD-1, Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers. All applicable local codes and ordinances must also be followed. A minimum clearance of 1 in, 25 mm must be maintained between heating system pipes and all combustible construction. All heating system piping must be supported by suitable hangers not the boiler. The thermal expansion of the system must be considered when supporting the system. A minimum system pressure of 12 psig, 82.7 kPa must be maintained.

Heating Boiler Piping Connections
The supply and return connections should be sized to suit the system, see Table 6.
Table 6 – Supply & Return Pipe Sizing

Pump Requirements
This low mass boiler requires a continuous minimum water flow for proper operation. The system pump must be sized to overcome the head loss of the boiler and the heating system in order to achieve the required temperature rise. Table 7 provides the heat exchanger pressure drop and temperature rise figures. The temperature rise across the boiler must never exceed 35°F, 19.4°C. The adjustable pump delay turns the pump on each time the burner fires and runs the pump for 6 to 600 seconds after the call for heat is satisfied.
CAUTION: A temperature rise outside of the range listed in Table 7 indicates that the flow rate through the heat exchanger is incorrect which will damage the heat exchanger voiding the warranty! The maximum allowable temperature rise is 35°F, 19.4°C.
The maximum allowable flow rate through a Futera II boiler is 97 GPM, 6.1 L/s on 500 through 1000 models and 136 GPM, 8.6 L/s for 1250 through 1950 models. The Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger allows for 108 GPM, 6.8 L/s on 500 through 1000 models and 151 GPM, 9.5 L/s on 1250 through 1950 models.

Low Water Cutoff
If a boiler is installed above any radiation elements it must be fitted with a low water cutoff device.
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the boiler/water heater for proper wiring connections.

Expansion Tank & Air Separator
An expansion tank or other means to control thermalexpansion must be installed in the heating system. An expansion tank must be installed close to the boiler on the suction side of the pump. An air scoop and automatic air vent must also be installed to eliminate air trapped in the system.

Primary/Secondary Piping
Boilers connected to heating systems using zone valves, zone pumps, or systems that have excessive flow rates or return water temperatures less than 125°F, 52°C must be isolated from these systems to protect the boiler. Figure 13, shows a typical primary/secondary piping system. A dedicated pump is used to maintain a constant water flow through the boiler. This boiler pump is sized to overcome the head loss of the boiler and near-boiler piping system while supplying the flow rate required to maintain the desired temperature rise across the boiler heat exchanger. The system pump is sized to provide the required flow to the heating system. The boiler piping connections to the heating system piping must be a maximum 10X pipe diameters between centers to ensure zero pressure drop in the primary system. Flow must be properly accounted for in the design of primary/secondary systems. In order to prevent boiler(s) short cycling the system flow must be equal to or higher than the boiler(s) local flow.

Low Return Water Temperatures
To prevent the problems associated with condensation of the products of combustion due to low return water temperatures a primary/secondary piping system with a bypass and bypass valve must be installed, see Figure 14 and 14A. The bypass and bypass valve must be sized the same as the secondary piping. A balancing valve must also be installed in the supply side of the secondary piping downstream of the bypass. The balancing valve should be adjusted to divert some of the heated discharge water into the return water until the required inlet water temperature is achieved. The primary and secondary pumps should be sized to provide the required flow through each system. The secondary piping connections to the primary system piping must not be more than 10X pipe diameters apart to ensure zero pressure drop in the primary system, see Figure 14.

Multiple Boiler Systems
Systems using multiple boilers can also be installed using a primary/secondary manifold system, Figure 15.

Piping For Use With Cooling Units
The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler. Appropriate valves must be used to prevent the chilled water from entering the boiler.
When a boiler is connected to a heating coil that may be exposed to refrigerated air from an air handling device, the piping system must be equipped with flow-control valves or some other automatic means of preventing gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.

NOTES:

1. For pump selection consult factory.
2. Boiler pump sized to boiler and thermostatic 3-way valve design flow requirements.
3. Boiler circuit piping must be sized large enough to handle maximum flow through unit.
4. All boilers furnished with factory mounted outlet water temperature gauge.
5. Boiler pump purging required. Use terminals supplied.
6. Valve is precalibrated for 140°F return temperature.

Notice: These drawings show suggested piping configuration and valving.
Check with local codes and ordinances for specific requirements.

NOTES:

1. Boiler circuit piping must be large enough to handle maximum flow through unit.
2. Boiler pump sized to boiler design flow requirements.
3. All boilers furnished with factory mounted outlet water temperature gauge.
4. Boiler pump purging required. Use terminals supplied.
5. Secondary loop pipe diameter must be sized large enough to handle maximum flow through all units.

Notice: These drawings show suggested piping configuration and valving.
Check with local codes and ordinances for specific requirements.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY PIPING

CAUTION: Proper controls must be used to prevent water supplied for domestic use from exceeding 130°F, 54°C or a scald injury will occur! When higher water temperatures are required for appliances such as a dishwasher, a mixing valve or some other tempering means must be installed. Households with small children may require water temperatures less than 120°F, 49°C. Local codes must be complied with!

General Piping Requirements
Ensure that the water heater is equipped with bronze headers. Piping and components connected to the water heater must be suitable for use with potable water. The water heater must not be connected to any heating system piping or components previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance. No toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, are to be introduced into the potable water used for space heating. If a hot water storage tank is used in the system it must be equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve that complies with ANSI Z21.22 or CAN-4.4 and CAN-4.6.
NOTE: The storage tank must be located as close to the water heater as possible to prevent excessive head loss which will reduce flow.
Water Chemistry
The required temperature rise across the water heater is based on water having a hardness between 8 and 18 grains per gallon with a level of dissolved solids not exceeding 350 ppm. Water having a hardness less than 8 grains can cause excessive corrosion of the heat exchanger. Water that has a hardness greater than 18 grains per gallon and/or a level of dissolved solids exceeding 350 ppm will require a recalculation of the pump size and temperature rise.
A cupro-nickel heat exchanger may also be required. The manufacturer should be consulted when these water conditions are encountered. See Table 8.
CAUTION: The maximum allowable flow rate through a Futera II water heater is 97 GPM, 6.1 L/s on 500 through 1000 models and 136 GPM, 8.6 L/s for 1250 through 1950 models. The Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger allows for 108 GPM, 6.8 L/s on 500 through 1000 models and 151 GPM, 9.5 L/s on 1250 through 1950 models. See Table 9.

RBI water heaters are designed to run scale free. Due to the extreme variables of water conditions world wide it is necessary to consider pH values and water hardness in relationship to scaling. It is crucial to consider these two variables when making heat exchanger and pump selection. If local water conditions are extreme, follow the guidelines in the Heat Exchanger Selection Table (Table 8) and the Pumping Performance Table (Table 9). Scale free operation can be achieved by using water with a hardness between 8 and 18 and by maintaining the pH between 5 and 9. Follow the conditions listed under NORMAL in the table. In some areas of the country additional precautions must be observed due to unusual characteristics of the local water supply. Call the nearest RBI representative for details.

To properly size the pump a grain hardness and pH test must be taken at the installation site before order is placed. Proper pump sizing will improve heater performance and help ensure heater longevity.

Table 8 – Futera II Heat Exchanger Selection

Table 9 – Futera II Pumping Performance Requirement

Expansion Tank
An expansion tank or other means to control thermal expansion must be installed in the water heating system if back flow prevention devices are installed.

Pump Requirements
This low-mass water heater requires a continuous minimum water flow for proper operation.
Table 9 provides the heat exchanger pressure drop chart and temperature rise table.
The temperature rise across the water heater must never exceed 35°F, 19.4°C.

Cold Water Supply
The cold water supply must be piped to the water heater’s outlet piping between the water heater and the hot water storage tank. This will prevent untempered water from entering the water heater, see the Temperature Rise Control section below. Two typical water heating systems are shown in Figures 16 & 17.

Temperature Rise Control
Water returned to the water heater inlet must not be less than 125°F, 52°C or excessive condensation of the products of combustion will damage the water heater voiding the warranty. The method outlined below can be employed to prevent this condition from occurring.
A balancing valve should be installed on the outlet side of the water heater for purposes of adjusting the flow rate through the heat exchanger. Thermometers are installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water heater for determining the temperature rise through the unit.
The proper velocity through the water heater must be maintained in accordance with Table 9 for efficient operation and long life. If the temperature rise through the water heater is lower than recommended the water velocity is too high. Premature erosion of the heat exchanger will occur. Conversely, if the temperature rise is higher than recommended in Table 9 the flow rate is too low. Scaling and softening of the heat exchanger will occur.
Thermostatic Mixing Valve – Water Above 140°F, 60°C Water can be stored at temperatures above 140°F, 60°C provided that a thermostatically controlled mixing valve is used to temper the hot water to an acceptable temperature before it’s supplied for domestic use.
The mixing valve MUST be set to prevent a scald injury from occurring, see the caution against scalding.
Storage of water for domestic use above 140°F, 60°C will provide an increased quantity of tempered water and help prevent the growth of water born bacteria.

NOTES:

1. Optional cold water make up and recirculation line location.

2. When using intermittent pump and pump delay, locate remote aquastat well in lower 1/3 of tank. Install aquastat with heat sensing compound.

3. Thermal expansion tank may be required, check local codes.

4. When using optional factory mounted pump, max pipe length 30 ft. total, 6-90° elbows, full pipe size.

5. CAUTION: MEASURE WATER HARDNESS AND pH AT JOB SITE.
   The pH and water hardness must be measured before selecting heat exchanger and pump. Consult the Heat Exchanger Graph and Pumping Performance Table before making selection.

6. Common piping must be sized for maximum combined heater flow.

7. Hot water tanks should be equipped with a combination temperature & pressure relief valve.

8. MA Code requires an 1/8 in. hole in check valve to compensate for thermal expansion.

9. Boilers may require a mixing application in order to prevent flue gas condensation and premature failure caused by fireside corrosion. (Figure 14A) – “Adjustments Procedure To Maintain Inlet Temperature Above Dew-point.”

10. A thermostatic mixing valve may be required at the outlet of the tank in order to limit the mixed water to a desirable temperature helping to prevent scalding and injury. Consult local codes.

Notice: These drawings show suggested piping configuration and valving.
Check with local codes and ordinances for specific requirements.

GAS SUPPLY PIPING

WARNING: Check the boiler/water heater rating plate to make sure that the boiler/water heater is for the type of gas that will be used. If it isn’t, do not connect the boiler/water heater to the gas supply. Gas supply piping must be in accordance with the National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest revision or applicable provisions of the local building codes. Canadian installations must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 Installation Code. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
The Futera II comes from the factory ready to be piped to the gas supply. If for any reason the boiler/water heater is not for the type of gas available at the installation site, call your RBI representative to resolve the problem.
NOTE: A minimum gas supply pressure of 5 in, 127 mm W.C. natural or 11 in, 279 mm WC propane and maximum 14 in, 356 mm WC natural or propane, must be available at the safety shutoff valve inlet with the unit(s) operating, and not to exceed (1.0 in WC) drop when firing from minimum input to full load of the gas supply line and all appliances running.
Do not size the gas supply line nominal iron pipe size based only on the boiler gas inlet connection size. The gas supply line (feed) to the boiler gas inlet connection must be designed per an engineered method and utilizing (Table 10) to ensure that the gas supply piping is sized properly. Do not neglect the pressure drop due to pipe fittings. (Table 10) should be used in conjunction with (Table 11) to ensure that the gas supply piping has the capacity to meet the demand. If more than one appliance is supplied by the same supply pipe, the piping must be sized based on the maximum possible demand.
Figure 18 depicts the proper way to connect the boiler/ water heater to the gas supply piping. The manual shut- off valve MUST be installed in the supply piping. It should be installed 5 ft, 1.5 m above the floor where required by local codes. Provide a sediment trap at the bottom of the vertical section of the gas supply pipe upstream of the gas controls.
A ground joint union should be installed between the boiler gas controls and the supply piping. Each of these items are needed to ensure long life and ease of servicing. Always use a pipe sealant that is suitable for use with LP gas.

Figure 18 – Gas Supply Piping

CAUTION: Always use a wrench on the gas valve body when making gas connections to it. Never over-tighten the piping entering the gas valve body or gas valve failure may result!
When applicable, provisions for vent, bleed and gas relief lines must be made in accordance with the latest revision of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with the gas manifold and control assembly provided on the boiler. All gas connections MUST be leak tested before putting the boiler into operation.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Always use an approved leak detection method. Failure to comply with this warning can cause extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
Whenever the gas supply piping is pressure tested the boiler/water heater gas controls must be protected. If the test pressure is equal to, or less than 1/2 psig, 3.5 kPa isolate the boiler/water heater by closing it’s manual shut off valve, see Figure 18. If the test pressure is greater than, or equal to 1/2 psig, 3.5 kPa, disconnect the boiler/water heater and its individual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation! Verify proper operation after servicing.
The electrical connections to this boiler/water heater must be made in accordance with all applicable local codes and the latest revision of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA-70. Installation should also conform with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part I if installed in Canada.
A properly rated shut-off switch should be located at the boiler/water heater. The boiler/water heater must be grounded in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction, or if none, the latest revision of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
Line voltage field wiring of any controls or other devices must conform to the temperature limitation of type T wire at 95°F, 35°C above room temperature. Use copper conductors with a minimum size of #14 awg. Use appropriate wiring materials for units installed outdoors.
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the boiler/water heater for proper wiring connections and boiler full load amperage (FLA).

GENERAL OPERATION

WARNING: Before proceeding read and fully understand the instructions contained in this manual. Do not attempt to operate this boiler/water heater if it has not been installed in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this manual. Failure to comply with this warning can result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death!
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance. Do not interrupt water flow through the boiler/water heater.

Hydronic Heating Boilers
Open the make-up water valve and slowly fill the boiler and all of the radiation with water. Ensure that all bleed and drain valves are closed.
Adjust the make-up water pressure regulator so a minimum 12 psig, 82.7 kPa system pressure is maintained at the highest point in the system piping. If a make-up water pump is used adjust it to maintain a minimum 12 psig, 82.7 kPa system pressure.
Open the system bleed and drain valves, one at a time, to purge the air trapped in the heating system piping.
With the boiler off, run the system pump for at least 30 minutes and bleed the system piping using the bleed valves. If strainers are used in the system piping, the make- up water valve should be closed and the strainers checked and cleaned.

The system expansion tank should be checked to ensure that the correct water level in the tank is maintained. The tank should be less than half full of water with the system full and adjusted to the correct operating pressure.
Start the boiler as described in the “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” section. Run the boiler for at least an hour. The system pump(s) and all radiation units must be operated during this time. Ensure that the make-up water valve is open.
Shut the boiler off and open the bleed valves to purge the air trapped in the heating system piping. Close the makeup water valve and check and clean the strainers and make-up water pressure reducing valve.
Open the make-up water valve and adjust the system pressure if necessary. The system should be checked and bled after three days of operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING.

A. This appliance 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 appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.
3. Close the manual main and pilot gas shut-off valves.

CHECKING & ADJUSTMENTS

On initial light-off, the installer may alter the preset factory settings to attain satisfactory combustion. An accurate manometer and flue gas analyzer must be used. Please see Fire Testing section 4 for combustion guidelines.

Spark Gap
With the main and pilot gas manual valves in the closed position energize the unit. Observe the trial for ignition to confirm that the spark is strong and continuous. If not, check and adjust the spark gap as shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19 – Spark Gap

Pilot Operation
The pilot pressure has been factory set at 3 in. WC for natural and LP gas and shouldn’t need adjustment. To check the pilot pressure close the manual main shut-off valve and the pilot gas shut-off valve, Figure 18. Remove the 1/8″ pipe plug from the pilot tee and connect a manometer having a minimum range of 6 in, 152 mm WC to it. Open the pilot gas shut-off valve. With the unit powered, generate a call for heat. When the prepurge is complete the ignition/pilot trial will begin. At this point put the Honeywell RM7800 test switch in the test position. The control will hold in the ignition/ pilot sequence allowing you to check the pressure.

To adjust the pilot the following steps must be taken:

1. Remove the pilot gas pressure regulator cap.
2. Turn the pressure regulator adjustment screw clock-wise to increase the flame and counterclockwise to decrease it.
3. Replace the pressure regulator adjustment screw cap.

Fire Testing

1. For an on/off unit confirm that the low-fire side of the two-stage gas valve is set to its maximum setting.
   For a two-stage unit a 1/16 in. thick silicon spacer should be installed under the low-fire adjusting screw.
   Without this spacer it won’t be possible to consistently set the low-fire pressure to 2.4 in, 61 mm WC.

2. Follow the instructions in the “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” section starting on page 28 to fire the main burner. Upon ignition of the main burner adjust the high fire adjusting screw to obtain the high fire pressure listed in Table 12. On a two-stage unit disconnect the power from the high fire side of the gas valve and adjust the low fire, regulator. If the unit short cycles on low fire adjust the air box pressure and gas back pressure as outlined below.
   CAUTION: Never force the regulator adjustment screw beyond the stop limits or damage to the regulator will occur!
   Table 12 – Pressure Settings, Inches W.C.  Model| Natural Gas| LP Gas
   ---|---|---
   Size|  Low| High| Low| High
   | in| mm| in| mm| in| mm| in| mm
   500| n/a| n/a| 2.3| 58| n/a|  n/a| 4.0| 102

   1950| 2.4| 61| 3.0| 76| 6| 152| 7.0| 178

3. When fire tested at the factory the unit’s input was rated and the gas pressure(s) recorded on the test label affixed to the jacket next to the junction box. To confirm the input of the unit follow the instructions in the INPUT RATE section below. The gas pressure setting(s) for dual fuel units may vary; refer to the test label on the unit.

4. An undiluted flue gas sample must be taken at the flue outlet using a calibrated flue gas analyzer. Allow the unit to run for 15 minutes before taking the sample. For a natural gas unit the low fire CO 2 reading should be 7.3%-7.5% and 8.5%-8.8% for propane gas. The high fire CO 2 reading should be 7.5%-8.0% and 8.8%-9.4% for propane gas. Exceeding 8.0% on natural gas or 9.4% on propane gas CO 2 will shorten the life of the burner. Adjust the inlet air damper to achieve the correct CO 2 readings.

5. If the pressure settings vary from those listed in Table 8, please affix a new label or notice to the boiler, which shows these new settings. However, do not sacrifice or compromise safe combustion, carbon monoxide limits, or safety settings to achieve these figures. The pressures listed in Table 12 are guidelines obtainable under ideal conditions.

6. To test the ignition safety shutoff device, close the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Within 5 seconds of main burner flame extinction, the main gas valve solenoid should close with an audible noise. After 15 seconds the module should lockout and the trial for ignition end. After 5 minutes a second trial for ignition should occur. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line and reset the ignition control system. A normal ignition sequence should take place. If the burner hasn’t lit after the last ignition try, the gas valve will close and the system will go into lock out only on CSD-1 units otherwise, the boiler will retry every 5 minutes. Inspect the ignition system to determine what the problem is.

7. With the main burner in operation, close the manual firing valve. As soon as the main burner flames go out, open the manual firing valve. A normal ignition sequence should take place. If the burner fails to light the system will make one more ignition attempt.

8. With the burners in operation, interrupt the power to the control circuit by lowering the operating control or thermostat. The main burners should go out. Reset the operating control or thermostat, a normal ignition sequence should follow.

Air Box Pressure
Connect a manometer to the air box pressure tap located behind the control cover, Figure 21.
Table 13 lists the factory settings for the air box pressure and gas back pressure that were set using a minimum length of vent pipe. It may be necessary to adjust the air shutter on the blower to achieve acceptable combustion readings for certain installations.

Figure 21 – Air Box Pressure Tap

If vented vertically ensure that the barometric damper is capable of maintaining the air box pressure listed in Table 13. An air box pressure lower that that listed in Table 13 can significantly reduce the life of the burner.
Long horizontal vents will result in an air box pressure higher that that listed in Table 13. It may be necessary to open the air damper to obtain the correct combustion settings.

Required Gas Pressure
Connect a manometer to the gas pressure test port upstream of the firing valve, Figure 22. Close the manual shut off valve for the pilot gas. Ensure that the firing valve is in the open position. Energize the unit and allow it to try for ignition until it goes into flame failure. If the gas back pressure is significantly different from that listed in Table 13 the air/gas mixing tube may be misaligned.

Provide gas supply pressure at inlet to boiler gas train as follows:

| LP| Nat
---|---|---
Minimum (in WC)| 11| 5
Maximum (in WC)| 14| 14

Measure pressure when the boiler is firing at full rate. Low gas pressure could indicate undersized gas line or insufficient gas supply.

“Static and operating gas pressure required at the gas valve inlet is between 5 in. WC and 14 in. WC for natural gas and 11 in. WC and 14 in. WC for propane and not to exceed a maximum of (1.0 WC) drop when firing from minimum input to full load of the gas supply line and all the appliances running. If the gas pressure is above this limit, a lock-up style regulator suitable for dead end service such as an Equimeter or Fisher must be installed to prevent increase (creep) of gas pressure when the units are not operating. This pressure regulator (supplied by others) may be installed at the service entrance to each unit or a “master” regulator sized to handle multiple units may be utilized. Consult local gas utility or regulator manufacturer for recommendations to meet specific job site requirements.”

Figure 22 – Air Adjustment & Gas Pressure Test Port

Table 13 – Pressure Settings, WC

Input Rate, Natural Gas
Gas appliances are rated based on sea level operation with no adjustment required at elevations up to 2000 ft, 610 m.
At elevations above 2000 ft, 610 m input ratings should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft, 305 m.

Check the input rate as follows:

1. Turn off all other gas appliances that use the same gas meter as the boiler/water heater.
2. Call your gas supplier and ask for the heating value of the gas.
3. Start the boiler/water heater and let it run for 15 minutes.
4. Using the gas meter and a stopwatch, clock the time that it takes to burn 10 ft³, 0.28 m³ of gas and divide this time by 10.
5. Insert the heating value and the time, in seconds, into the formula below.
6. Input = (heating value, Btu/hr)(3600)/(time, seconds)
7. If the computed rate deviates by more than 5% from the rated input value of the unit adjust the manifoldpressure accordingly. DO NOT adjust the manifoldpressure by more than 5%. If a proper rate cannot be maintained without adjusting the manifold pressurebeyond the 5% limit, the main burner orifices must be replaced. If the input rate is too low, go to the nextlarger size of main burner orifices. If the input rate is too high, go to the next smaller size.

CAUTION: Never increase the input to the boiler/water heater above that for which it is rated. Doing so can cause premature failure of the boiler!

CONTROL DESCRIPTION

Low Water Cutoff If the boiler is to be installed above radiation or if required by other codes or regulations, install a low water cutoff in appropriate piping. Wire the switch and any external controls in series to the “Interlock” contacts in the control box, see the wiring diagrams included with the unit for details. Ensure that the low water cutoff device(s) will function properly.

Boiler Thermostat
If a thermostat is to be used to control the boiler always follow the instructions included with the thermostat. Proper location of the thermostat will ensure efficient trouble-free operation of the boiler. Mount the thermostat to an inside wall at a height approximately 5 ft, 1.5 m above the floor.
Avoid placing the thermostat in areas that will not provide an accurate measurement of the room temperature. Locating the thermostat behind a door, in an alcove, close to a source of thermal radiation or in a drafty area will cause poor or sporadic heating.
For a thermostat that employs an adjustable heat anticipator, adjust the anticipator to match the current measured in the thermostat circuit. An increased anticipator setting may be necessary if the unit cycles frequently. If the room temperature over-shoots the thermostat setting, reduce the anticipator setting.

Operating Control
The operating control on the water heater is set to its lowest setting when the water heater leaves the factory. The preferred control setting for potable hot water is 130°F, 54°C. The operating control should be set to the lowest setting that will satisfy the consumer’s needs.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Finned Copper Tube Boilers/Water Heaters
Industrial, Commercial and Other Non-Residential Use

The “Manufacturer” warrants to the original owner at the original installation site that the heat exchanger of the Industrial, Commercial, and other Non- Residential Use Boiler (the “Product”) will be free from defects in material or workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of installation. Additional twenty one (21) year thermal shock warranty on heat exchanger. If upon examination by the Manufacturer the Product is shown to have a defect in material or workmanship during the warranty period, the Manufacturer will repair or replace, at its option, that part of the Product which is shown to be defective. All other RBI supplied Boiler/Water Heater parts and replacement heat exchangers are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from date of installation or 18 months from date of shipment from RBI.
The “Manufacturer” warrants to the original owner at the original installation site that the heat exchanger of the Industrial, Commercial, and other Non- Residential Use Water Heater (the “Product”) will be free from defects in material or workmanship for five (5) years from the date of installation. Additional twenty one (21) year thermal warranty on heat exchanger. If upon examination by the Manufacturer the Product is shown to have a defect in material or workmanship during the warranty period, the Manufacturer will repair or replace, at its option, that part of the Product which is shown to be defective. All other RBI supplied Boiler/Water Heater parts are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from date of installation or 18 months from date of shipment from RBI.

This limited warranty does not apply:
(a) if the Product has been subjected to misuse or neglect, has been accidentally or intentionally damaged, has not been installed, maintained or operated in accordance with the furnished written instructions, or has been altered or modified in any way.
These include but not limited to:

• Excessive water hardness causing a lime build-up in the heat exchanger tubes is not a fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the heat exchanger tubes caused by high water velocity through the tubes and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. (See Installation Instructions for proper pump performance.)
• Chemical corrosion, no corrosive chemical (freon, dry cleaning chemicals, degreasing liquids, chlorine or any chemicals that produce hydrochloric acid) can be present in the boiler room as it rapidly destroys the heating equipment and voids the warranty.
• All copper fin boilers should not operate with a return water temperature less than 110°F, 43°C atmospheric combustion, (125°F, 52°C fan assist combustion – Dominator/LCD/Futera II), (140°F, 60°C fan assist combustion
  – Futera III/Futera XLF). If a lower temperature is required, an external bypass should be installed to prevent condensation (bypass and valve arrangement included on the Futera Fusion Series). The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage done by condensation.

(b) to any expenses, including labor or material, incurred during removal or reinstallation of the Product or parts thereof.
(c) to damage as a result of settlement, distortion, collapse, or cracking of any foundation area, beams or pipes surrounding the Product.
(d) to any workmanship of any installer of the Product; or to Products installed outside the continental United States or Canada.

This limited warranty is conditional upon:
(a) shipment, to the Manufacturer, of that part of the Product thought to be defective. Goods can only be returned with prior written approval from the Manufacturer. All returns must be freight prepaid.
(b) determination in the reasonable opinion of the Manufacturer that there exists a defect in material or workmanship.

Repair or replacement of any part under this Limited Warranty shall not extend the duration of the warranty with respect to such repaired or replaced part beyond the stated warranty period.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED FROM THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF THE SELLING PRICE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY PARTS THEREOF FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE PRODUCT SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH MAY VARY BY EACH JURISDICTION.
