Figure 5: Installation of Combustible Flooring Base C. Jacket Assembly NOTE Before installing the jacket, make sure to plug any tappings which are not going to be used. Also make sure that no tappings are plugged which will be needed later for piping the boiler. See Section VIII for system piping. 1) Align the left jacket side panel with the screw holes located on the upper flange of the left base end panel and loosely attach the left jacket side panel with two #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws

5) Lay the jacket top panel on top of the jacket side and rear panels. Locate the top of the rear jacket panel to the inside of the jacket top panel. Align the sides of the jacket top panel to be flush with the outside of the jacket side panels. Loosely attach the rear flange of the jacket top panel to the jacket rear panel using three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. On the inside front of the boiler, attach the jacket top panel to the jacket side panels with two #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws
