3Appliances Located in Unconfined Spaces:
For installations in unconfined spaces with other
than unusually tight construction, the supply of air
for combustion and ventilation can usually be
considered adequate.
4. Unusually Tight Construction:
For equipment located in buildings of unusually tight
construction as defined on the previous page,
provide air for combustion and ventilation using the
methods described in 5a or 5b below.
5. Appliances Located in Confined Spaces:
a. All air from inside the building: Provide two
permanent openings communicating directly with
an additional room or rooms of sufficient volume
so that the combined volume of all spaces meets
the criteria for an unconfined space. Use the total
input of all gas utilization equipment installed in
the combined space in making this
determination.
Size each opening with a minimum free area of
one square inch per 1000 Btu/hr. of the total
rating of all gas utilization equipment in the
confined space, but not less than I00 square
inches. Begin with one opening 12 inches from
the top, and begin the other opening within 12
inches of the bottom of the enclosure. See Figure
1. Provide air openings with minimum
dimensions not less than three (3) inches.
b. All air from outside the building. Connect the
confined space with the outdoors in accordance
with methods i) or ii) below. Provide air openings
with minimum dimensions not less than three (3)
inches. Where ducts are used, make certain that
they are the same cross-sectional area as the free
area of the openings to which they connect.
Provide two permanent openings, one
commencing within 12 inches of the top and
one commencing within 12 inches of the
bottom of the enclosure. Connect the
openings directly or by duets, with the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely
communicate with the outdoors.
Where directly communicating with the
outdoors (see Figure 2) or where
communicating to the outdoors through
vertical ducts (see Figure 3), size each
opening with a minimum free area of one (I)
square inch per 4000 Btu/hr. of total rating of
all equipment in the enclosure.

7.
Where communicating with the outdoors
through horizontal ducts, size each opening
with a minimum free area of one (1) square
inch per 2000 Btu/hr of total input rating of
all equipment in the enclosure. See Figure 4.
ii) Where the equipment has clearances of at
least one (1) inch from the sides and back
and six (6) inches from the front of the
appliance, the code allows one permanent
opening, commencing within 12 inches of
the top of the enclosure. Connect the
opening directly with the outdoors or through
a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors
or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely
communicate with the outdoors. Size the
opening with a minimum free area of one
square inch per 3000 Btu!hr. of the total
input rating of all equipment in the enclosure,
and not less than the sum of the areas of all
vent connectors in the confined space.
In calculating free area of an opening, take into
account the blocking affect of louvers, grilles and
screens. Do not use screens smaller than i/4" mesh.
If the free area is known, use this value in calculating
the size of the opening required. If it is not known,
assume that wood louvers provide 20-25% free area,
and metal louvers and grilles provide 60-75% free
area.
Remove sources of hydrocarbons (bleaches,
cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint removers, fabric
softeners, etc.) from the boiler area. The vapors
generated by these substances can contaminate the
combustion air and contribute to shortened
boiler/vent system life. I_ff±!_l_ll_[dl|ll:lt_VLelll
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) is heavier than air and may
collect or "pool" in a low area in the event of a leak
from defective equipment.This gas may then ignite,
resulting in a fire or explosion. See the instructions

For new and existing installations, a Water Installation
Survey is available from Peerless Heater Company. The
survey will provide information on how a hot water
boiler works with your specific system and will provide
an overview of hot water system operation in general.
You can also use this survey to locate system problems
which will have to be corrected. To obtain copies of the
Water Installation Survey, contact your Peerless
representative.
Prepare sketches and notes of the layout to minimize the
possibility of interferences with new or existing
equipment, piping, venting and wiring.

t_pical piping arrangement is shown in Figure 5.
Refer also to the I-B-R Installation Guide No. 200
and the Peerless Water Survey for additional
guidance during water piping installation.
2. Return Piping:
a. For boilers equipped with a factory mounted
circulator, pipe the return to the inlet connection
of the circulator.
b. For boilers equipped with a separate, unmounted
circulator, pipe the outlet connection of the
circulator to a tee, provided with a drain valve, at
the 1-1/4 NPT return tapping near the bottom of
the left section. Pipe the return to the inlet
connection of the circulator.

6. Install this boiler so that the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, etc ) during appliance operation and
service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,
control replacements, etc )
7. If this boiler and distribution system is used in
conjunction with a refrigeration system, pipe the
chilled medium in parallel with the boiler and install
the proper valve to prevent the chilled medium from
entering the boiler. A drawing illustrating this hook-
up is provided in Figure 6
8. When the boiler is connected to heating coils located
in air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air circulation, install flow control valves
or other automatic means to prevent gravity
circulation of the boiler water during the cooling
cycle.

1. Consult the tank manufacturer's instructions for
specific information relating to tank installation Size
the expansion tank for the required system volume
and capacity. See Table 8 in Section 10 for boiler
water capacity.
2. Expansion tanks are available with built-in fill valves
and check valves for reducing supply water pressure
and maintaining minimum system pressure. Check
the design features of the tank and provide valves as
necessary.
Refer back to Figure 5 for typical expansion tank piping.

If the boiler is to be used in conjunction with an indirect-
fired water heater, refer to Figure 11 for typical piping.
Follow the instructions provided by the water heater
manufacturer. Pipe the water heater as a separate zone.
For new or existing systems that must be freeze-
protected:
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions of up to
50% by volume with water. Ethylene glycol is toxic
and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.
1. Glycol in hydronic applications is specially
formulated for this purpose. It includes inhibitors
which prevent the glycol from attacking metallic
system components. Make certain that the system
fluid is checked for the correct glycol concentration
and inhibitor level.
2. The anitfreeze solution should be tested at least once
a year and as recommended by the antifreeze
manufacturer.
3.
4.
Antifreeze solutions expand more than water. For
example, a 50% by volume solution expands 4.8%
in volume for a temperature increase from 32°F to
180°F, while water expands 3% with the same
temperature rise. Allowance must be made for this
expansion in system design.
For more information, consult the Peerless Water
Installation Survey and the antifreeze manufacturer.

1. The MIiMIH boiler is equipped with a built in draft
hood This device is designed to:
a provide for the ready escape of flue gases from
the boiler in the event of no draft.
b. prevent a backdraft [Tom entering the boilen
c. control stack draft during operation.
These tasks are accomplished without the extra
height requirements of a separate draft hood.
2. The draft hood relief opening is the large rectangular
passage at the front of the boiler. Make certain that
there are no obstructions to airflow in front of this
opening.
3. A vent safety shut off switch is located within the
draft relief opening to shut off the boiler in case of a
blocked vent condition. See Section 7B for details
regarding this device. See Figure 16 in Section 6
(Electrical) for spill switch location.
4. The vent damper can be mounted directly onto the
round draft hood outlet (vent connector) on top of
the boiler, or in vent piping close to the boiler. See
the Vent Damper Installation Instructions below.
].

3.
4.
Do not use one vent damper to control two or more
heating appliances. See Figure 12.
Follow these and the installation instructions that are
included with the vent damper. Observe the cautions
and warnings that accompany all instructions.
Make certain that minimum clearances provided in
the vent damper manufacturer's instructions are
maintained and that adequate space is available for
damper access and service.
Orient the damper operator to facilitate connection
of the harness with the vent damper and boiler. Note
flue gas flow arrow on vent damper and orient as
required. For installation with damper mounted in
vertical position, see Figure 13. For installation with
damper mounted in horizontal position, mount the
unit as shown in Figure 14 to avoid excessive heat
on the operator or condensation drips into the
operator.

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, follow these
steps with each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are not in operation:
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 any clothes dryers and any
appliance not connected to common venting system.
Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum
speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
d
e.
g.
Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
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,
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
conditions of use.
Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so that the installation
conforms with the current edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 7-223.1/NFPA 54. When
resizing any portion of the common venting system,
the common venting system should be resized to
approach minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables located in the chapter "Sizing of
Category I Venting Systems," in the current edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

I. Standing Pilot (See Figure 17 above)
a. The vent damper is continuously powered. On a
call for heat, limit relay R is energized, which
energizes:
• the circulator (when used) through contact
R1, and
• the vent damper operator through contact R2,
provided that the high-limit switch is
closed.
The vent damper operator opens the damper.
b. Once the damper is proven open, the gas valve
energizes, provided that all of the following
conditions are met:
• the pilot thermocouple is proving flame
• the blocked vent switch is closed, and
• the flame rollout switch is closed.
Pilot flame is monitored through the pilot
thermocouple. If pilot flame is lost during a call
for heat, main and pilot gas flow will be shut off.
The valve must then be manually reset by
following the Lighting Instructions mounted on
the jacket panel and included in Section 7 of this
manual.
c. When the call for heat ends:
• Limit relay R de-energizes, which opens
contacts RI and R2.
• The circulator shuts down.
• The gas valve de-energizes.
• The vent damper closes.
d. If temperature exceeds limit setting, main burners
shut off and circulator continues to operate.

I. FLAME ROLL-OUT SAFETY SHUT-OFF SWITCH
(FLAME ROLL OUT SWITCH) - A thermally
activated switch located between the first burner
from the left and the manifold bracket. The flame
roll-out safety shut-off switch will sense excessive
temperature caused by continued flame roll out and
shut down main burner gas. This is anon-recycling
switch that must be replaced once it has been
activated and the cause of the roll-out eliminated.

VENT SAFETY SHUT-OFF SWITCH (SPILL
SWITCH) - A thermally activated, manually
resetable switch located in the draft hood relief
opening. If venting system becomes partially or
totally blocked, the vent safety shut-off switch will
sense excessive temperature caused by flue products
exiting the draft hood relief opening and shut down
main burner gas.
LIMIT (AQUASTAT) - A thermally activated,
manually adjustable switch located on the left side of
the boiler, towards the top and rear. The temperature
sensing element is placed in the supply and will shut
down main burner gas ifthe supply water exceeds
the preset temperature limit. This is a recycling
switch that will automatically reset when the supply
water falls below the preset temperature.
LOW WATER CUT-OFF (FOR GRAVITY SYSTEMS
OR HOT WATER BOILERS INSTALLED ABOVE
RADIATION LEVEL) -A level-sensing device (float
or probe) located in supply piping near the boiler. If
water level in the system drops below the control's
position, it will shut down main burner gas. The
control will automatically reset once the water level
rises above its position.

Turn the pilot adjustment screw clockwise until the
pilot flame extinguishes. Then increase the pilot flow
just to the point that the gas valve holds in when
relighting the pilot per steps 9 and 10 of Lighting
Instructions in Figure 26 (turn screw no more than
an i/8 turn).
The first few turns of the adjustment screw may not
cause any change in the pilot flow, Subsequent
partial turns of the adjustment screw may have a
great impact on pilot flow.
4. Turn on electric power to the appliance.
5. Turn Gas Control Knob to "On" position per the
Lighting Instructions in Figure 26.
6. Verify pilot remains lit after shutdown from a boiler
"ON" cycle of at least ten minutes. If pilot
extinguishes, follow Lighting Instructions in Figure 26
and again slightly increase pilot flow.
7. Make a final slight increase in the size of the pilot to
ensure sufficient pilot signal under all operating
conditions, just to the point that you observe a slight
increase in the size of the flame (no more than an
I/8 turn).
8. Replace adjustment cap screw and observation port
cover.
I. Refer to rating label mounted on the jacket top panel
to obtain the rated BTU per hour input. In no case
shall the input to the boiler exceed the value shown

I. After starting the boiler, be certain all controls are
working properly. Check to be sure that the limit will
shut off the boiler in the event of excessive water
temperature. This can be done by lowering the limit
setting until the main burners shut down. When
proper limit function is confirmed, return the dial to
its previous setting.
2. To check operation of the ignition system safety
shut-off features:
a. Standing Pilot:
i) Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to
"PILOT". The main burner should go out
and the pilot should remain lit.
ii) Extinguish the pilot flame. Pilot gas flow
should stop within 2-I/2 minutes. Complete
shutdown is proven since the safety shut-off
valve has stopped main and pilot gas flow.
iii) Reset the boiler by following Lighting
Instructions.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
i0.
iv) Observe boiler operation through one
complete cycle
b. Intermittent Ignition System:
i) Turn gas supply off
it) Set thermostat or controller above room
temperature to call for heat. Watch for igniter
glow at pilot burner.
iii) Igniter will continue to glow for 30 seconds,
de-energize for 30 seconds, then re-energize
and glow for another 30 seconds. It will then
de-energize for 5 minutes before restarting
the sequence.
iv) Turn gas supply on.
v) Reset the boiler and conlrol by following
Operating Instructions.
vi) Observe boiler operation through one
complete cycle.
Low Water Cut-Off (if used) -Consult the
manufacturer's instructions for the low water cut-off
operational check procedure.
Check the system to make sure there are no leaks or
overfilling problems which might cause excessive
make-up water to be added. Make-up water causes
liming in the boiler and brings in oxygen. Oxygen
can cause severe damage to the boiler though
oxygen corrosion pitting.
Check the expansion tank and automatic fill valve (if
used) to confirm that they are operating con-ectly. If
either of these components causes high pressure in
the system, the boiler relief valve will weep or open,
allowing fresh water to enter the system.
Do not allow the system controls to subject the boiler
to excessively low water temperatures, which would
cause condensation of flue gases and corrosion of
the boiler. Operate the boiler at a temperature above
130°E Adjust the boiler limit as required to maintain
boiler temperature above this level.
Check the general condition of the system including
piping support, joints, etc. Check cleanliness of the
radiators, baseboard units and!or convectors. Clean
them to the extent possible. If radiators do not heat
evenly, vent any remaining air from them.
Review operation and User's Information Manual
with end-user.
Complete the Warranty Card and submit it to
Peerless Heater Company.
Hang the Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Manual and User's Information Manual in an
accessible position near the boiler.

•There is no pressure on the boLler
•The boiler us not hot.
•The power is off.
When servicing the gas valve or pilot, be certain that:
•The gas is off.
•The electricity is off.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Improper or dangerous operation may result.
Immedmtely call a qualified service technician to
inspect the bonier and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to
shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical
supply to the pump.This may aggravate the problem
and increase the likelihood of boiler damage. Instead,
shut off the gas supply at a location external to the
appliance.
