I Product Description The MWC Series are gas fi red condensing boilers designed for use in forced hot water heating systems requiring supply water temperatures of 176F or less and return water temperatures greater than 86F. The primary heat exchanger is a copper water tube design. Additional heat is extracted from the fl ue gas in a stainless steel secondary heat exchanger located down stream of the inducer. These boilers include a built in circulator, expansion tank, and automatic air vent. I

V Mounting The Boiler CAUTION This boiler weighs approximately 110 pounds: • Two people are required to safely lift this boiler onto the wall mounting hook. • Make sure that wall mounting hook is anchored to a structure capable of supporting the weight of the boiler and attached piping when fi lled with water. Jurisdictions in areas subject to earthquakes may have special requirements for supporting this boiler. These local requirements take precedence over the requirements shown below. Mount

VI Air for Ventilation WARNING Outdoor combustion air must be piped to the air intake. Never pipe combustion air from areas containing contaminates such as areas where swimming pool chemicals are stored. Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler and may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Air for combustion and ventilation, of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 CAN/CSA B 149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, or applicable provisions of th

VII Venting WARNING Failure to vent this boiler in accordance with these instructions could cause fl ue gas to enter the building resulting in severe property damage, personal injury, or death: • Do not attempt to vent this boiler with galvanized, PVC, or any other vent components not listed in Table 7.3. • Do not obtain combustion air from within the building. • Do not install a barometric damper or drafthood on this boiler. CAUTION Moisture and ice may form on the surfaces around the vent t

2 (contd.) Example: A 60/100mm concentric vent system is planned for a horizontally vented MWC116 which has the following components: • 60/100mm Elbow Adaptor (supplied with the boiler) • 1 ft Straight Pipe • 90 elbow • Uncut Terminal Section (supplied with the boiler) The Vent Option #2 column in Table 7.1 describes a horizontal direct vent system using 60/100mm concentric vent pipe. From this column, we see that a MWC116 may have a vent length of up to 8ft- 10in. The 60/100 Elbow Adaptor
