    BEFORE YOU START

    his manual covers he applicaion, insallaion, operaion andmainenance o a Fuera XLF Series nned copper heaing boiler/

    waer heaer/pool heaer (Canada Only).

    o obain he sae, dependable, eicien operaion and long lieor which his heaing boiler/waer heaer was designed, heseinsrucions mus be read, undersood and ollowed.

    Te Fuera XLF Series nned copper heaing boiler/waer heaershave been design ceried by CSA or use wih naural and propanegas under he laes revision o ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA 4.3, Gas WaeHeaers, ANSI-Z21.13/CSA 4.9, Gas-Fired Low Pressure Seamand Ho Waer Boilers ANSI-Z21.56/CSA 4.7 Gas Fired PooHeaers (Canada Only) and CAN 1-3.1, Indusrial and CommerciaGas Fired Packaged Boilers. Each uni has been consruced andhydrosaically esed or a maximum working pressure o 160 psi1103 kPain accordance wih Secion IV o he ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code.

    All aspecs o he boiler/waer heaer insal laion mus conormo he requiremens o he auhoriy having jurisdicion, or, in heabsence o such requiremens, o he Naional Fuel Gas Code, ANSZ223.1/NFPA 54-laes revision. Where required by he auhoriyhaving jurisdicion, he insallaion mus conorm o he Sandard orConrols and Saey Devices or Auomaically Fired Boilers, ANSI/

    COMBUSTION AIR & VENTILATION

    his boiler/waer heaer mus be supplied wihcombusion air in accordance wih Secion 5.3, Airor Combusion & Venilaion, o he laes revisiono he Naional Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 and all applicable local building codes. Canadianinsallaions mus comply wih CAN/ CGA B149.1

    or .2 Insallaion Code or Gas Burning Appliancesand Equipmen, or applicable provisions o helocal building codes. Failure o provide adequaecombusion air or his boiler/ waer heaer can resulin excessive levels o carbon monoxide which can resulin severe personal injury or deah!

    o operae properly and saely his boiler/waer heaer requires aconinuous supply o air or combusion. NEVE sore objecs onor around he boiler/waer heaer!

    Combusion air conaminaed wih luorocarbonsor oher halogenaed compounds such as cleaningsolvens and rerigerans will resul in he ormaion

    o acids in he combusion chamber. Tese acids willcause premaure ailure o he boiler/waer heaervoiding he warrany!

    I he boiler/waer heaer is operaed while he buildingis under consrucion i MUS be proeced rom

    General piping requirements

    Ensure ha he waer heaer is equipped wih bronze headers. Pipingand componens conneced o he waer heaer mus be suiable oruse wih poable waer. Te waer heaer mus no be conneced oany heaing sysem piping or componens previously used wih a non-poable waer heaing appliance. No oxic chemicals, such as hoseused or boiler reamen, are o be inroduced ino he poable waerused or space heaing. I a ho waer sorage ank is used in he sysemi mus be equipped wih a emperaure and pressure relie valve hacomplies wih ANSI Z21.22 or CAN-4.4 and CAN-4.6.

    Te sorage ank mus be locaed as close o he waerheaer as possible o preven excessive head loss which

    will reduce ow.

    Water chemistry

    Te required emperaure rise across he waer heaer is based onwaer having a hardness beween 8 and 18 grains per gallon wih

    a level o dissolved solids no exceeding 350 ppm. Waer having ahardness less han 8 grains can cause excessive corrosion o he heaexchanger. Waer ha has a hardness greaer han 18 grains per gallonand/or a level o dissolved solids exceeding 350 ppm will require arecalculaion o he pump size and emperaure rise.

    A cupronickel hea exchanger may also be required. Te manuacurershould be consuled when hese waer condiions are encounered.See able 8.

    Te maximum allowable ow rae hrough a Fuera XLFwaer heaer is 260 GPM, 16.4 Lwhen equipped wihcopper ubes. Te cupronickel hea exchanger allows or315 GPM, 19.9 L/s. See able 9.

    1. Optional cold water make up and recirculation line location.2. When using intermittent pump and pump delay, locate remote HeatNet sensor with well in lower 1/3 of tank. Install sensor with heat sensing

    compound. For multiple tanks, self balancing reverse-return systems, a single HeatNet sensor is applied.

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

    4. When using optional factory mounted pump, max pipe length 30 fttotal, 6-90 elbows, full pipe size.5. CAUTION: MEASURE WATER HARDNESS AND pH AT JOB SITE.

    6. 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.

    7. Common piping must be sized for maximum combined heater ow.

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

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