supply at a location external to the appliance.
WARNING
Installer — Read all instructions in this manual,
and Munchkin Venting section, before installing.
Perform steps in the order given.
•
Do not use this boiler if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the boiler and to
replace any part of the control system and
any gas control that has been under water.
User — This manual is for use only by a
qualified heating installer/service technician.
Refer to User’s Information Manual for your
reference.
BOILER WATER
•
If you have an old system with cast iron
radiators, thoroughly flush the system (without
boiler connected) to remove sediment. The
high-efficiency heat exchanger can be damaged
by build-up or corrosion due to sediment.
User — Have this boiler serviced/inspected by
a qualified service technician annually.
Failure to comply with the above could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
•
•
•
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Gaskets and seals
in the system may be damaged. This can result
in substantial property damage.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page
can result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent
medicines.” Substantial property damage,
damage to boiler, and/or serious personal injury
may result.
Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler
life. Mineral buildup in heat exchanger reduces
heat transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat
exchanger, and causes failure. Addition of
oxygen carried in by make-up water can cause
internal corrosion in system components. Leaks
in boiler or piping must be repaired at once to
prevent make-up water.
WARNING
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use
any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas suppliers'
instructions.
FREEZE PROTECTION FLUIDS
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
CAUTION
NEVER use automotive or standard glycol
antifreeze, even ethylene glycol made for
hydronic systems. Use only inhibited propylene
glycol solutions, which are specifically
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene
glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals
used in hydronic systems.

gent system that delivers highly efficient hydron-
ic heating, while maximizing efficiency by meas-
uring the Data Parameters of your heating sys-
tem.
temperature and pressure.
7. Control
The integrated control system monitors the
return and supply water and regulates the fan
speed to regulate the unit’s BTU output. This
allows the unit to only deliver the amount of
heated energy required and nothing more!
1. Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
The highly efficient durable Munchkin
Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger is designed to
take the colder return water from the system
and extract the last bit of energy before it is
exhausted. The heat exchanger design is
separated by an internal baffle which diverts
the exhaust gas through the primary heat
exchanger into the secondary heat exchanger
where the colder return water extracts the last
residual heat.
8. Burner
Constructed of high grade stainless steel
construction, the burner uses pre-mixed air
and gas and provides a wide range of firing
rates.
9. Electrical field connections with terminal
strips
The electrical cover plate allows access the
line voltage terminal strip and the low voltage
terminal strip. Attach line voltage conduits to
the three holes at the right of the line voltage
terminal strip for power, CH pump and DHW
pump. Route low voltage wires through the
opening to the left of the low voltage terminal
strip. (See Field Wiring Instructions Part 9.)
2. Modulating Combustion System
Modulation during the central heating
operation is based on the supply temperature.
The set point used for the control depends
upon the programmed central heating curve.
The slope of the heating curve can be changed
by the installer of the Munchkin in the sense
that both turning points of the curve can be
moved. The control monitors the system to
regulate the output of the burner during
operation to match the system demand. This
increase in efficiency allows for substantial fuel
savings.
10. Condensate drain connection
This is a condensing high efficiency appliance,
therefore this unit has a condensate removal
system. Condensate is nothing more than
water vapor, derived from the combustion
products, similar to an automobile when it is
initially started. It is very important that the
condensate line is sloped away from the boiler
and down to a suitable inside drain, if the
condensate outlet on the Munchkin is lower
than the drain, you must use a condensate
removal pump (kit p/n 554200 available from
Heat Transfer Products, Inc.) A condensate
filter, if required by local authorities can be
made up of lime crystals, marble or phosphate
chips and will neutralize the condensate. This
can be done in the field by the installer or you
may purchase one from Heat Transfer
Products, Inc. (P/N N1100). It is also very
important that the condensate line is not
exposed to freezing temperatures or any other
type of blockage. Plastic tubing must be the
only material used for the condensate line.
Steel, brass, copper or others will be subject
to corrosion or deterioration. A second vent
may be necessary to prevent condensate line
vacuum lock if a long horizontal run is used.
3. Gas Valve
The gas valve senses suction from the blower,
allowing gas to flow only if the gas valve is
powered and combustion air is flowing.
4. Supply water temperature sensor
This sensor monitors boiler output water
temperature (system supply). The control
module adjusts the boiler firing rate so the
outlet temperature is correct.
5. Return water temperature sensor
This sensor monitors the return water
temperature (system return). The control
module reduces or increases boiler input,
depending on how close the return water
temperature is to the outlet water
temperature.
6. Temperature and pressure gauge
Allows the user to monitor the systems

Also, an increase in pipe size may be
necessary to drain properly. Support of the
condensation line may be necessary to avoid
blockage of the condensate flow.
temperature for central heating and the other
temperature to the Super Stor Ultra Indirect
water heater. This allows the user to increase
the temperature supplied to the Super Stor
Ultra indirect water heater to get a fast
recovery by prioritizing the flow at a higher
temperature than may be needed for the
central heating circuits (this will require two
separate circulators). You must follow the
piping, wiring and programming instructions
located in the Vision One section of this
manual. The Vision 1 kit consists of the
following, which is included with your
equipment
11. Spark ignition
The burner flame is ignited by applying a high
voltage to the system spark electrode. This
causes a spark from electrode to ground.
12. The Vision 1 System
The Vision I System will allow the installing
contractor to take the highly efficient
modulating Munchkin and make it even more
efficient by controlling the temperature
delivered to the central heating circuits based
on the outside temperature. The Vision I
system is also a two temperature system, one

PART 3: PREPARE BOILER LOCATION
A. BOILER LOCATION SHOULD BE LEVEL
CAUTION
When preparing the boiler location, make sure the area where you are placing the boiler is level. In order
for the condensate to flow to the location of the condensate hose, the boiler must be slightly pitched
back to assure proper flow direction. The Munchkin Boiler comes equipped with leveling feet. Should
you find the floor beneath the boiler is uneven, with a wrench, adjust the leveling feet so the boiler is
pitched back at 1/8” per foot

The space must be provided with combus-
tion/ventilation air openings correctly sized for
all other appliances located in the same space as
the Munchkin boiler. The boiler cover must be se-
curely fastened to the boiler to prevent boiler
from drawing air from inside the boiler room.
This is particularly important if the boiler is lo-
cated in the same room as other appliances.
Failure to comply with the above warnings could
result in severe personal injury, death or sub-
stantial property damage.

Lack of freeze protection in boiler water
causing system and boiler to freeze and leak.
•
Excessive glycol which will affect the
boiler system operation.
D. CLEARANCES FOR SERVICE ACCESS
1. See Figure 3-1 for recommended service
clearances. If you do not provide minimum
clearances shown, it might not be possible to
service the boiler without removing it from
the space.
E. RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION
Precautions
Take the following special precautions when
installing the boiler in a residential garage. If the
boiler is located in a residential garage, per ANSI
Z223.1, paragraph 5.1.9:
80M/140M/199M/399M
•
Mount the boiler with a minimum of 18
inches above the floor of the garage to the
bottom of the boiler to ensure the burner and
ignition devices will be no less than 18 inches
above the floor.
•
Locate or protect the boiler so it cannot be
damaged by a moving vehicle.
F. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR VENT
The Munchkin Boiler requires a special vent sys-
tem, designed for pressurized venting.
Munchkin Boilers are rated ANSI Z21.13
Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to con-
dense in the vent).
T50M/T80M
You must also install air intake piping from out-
side to the boiler flue adaptor. The resultant
installation is categorized as direct vent (sealed
combustion). Note: To prevent combustion
air contamination see Table 3-2 in this
section when considering exhaust vent
and intake air vent termination.
Intake and exhaust must terminate near each
other and may be vented vertically through the
roof or out a side wall. The intake and exhuast
venting methods are detailed in the Venting
Section. Do not attempt to install the Munchkin
Boiler using any other means. Be sure to locate
the boiler such that the air intake and exhaust

vent piping can be routed through the building
and properly terminated. The air intake and
exhaust vent piping lengths, routing and termi-
nation method must all comply with the methods
and limits given in the Venting section.
H. WHEN REMOVING A BOILER FROM AN
EXISTING COMMON VENT SYSTEM
DANGER
Do not install the Munchkin Boiler into a
common vent with any other appliance. This
will cause flue gas spillage or appliance
malfunction, resulting in possible severe
personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
G. PREVENT COMBUSTION AIR CONTAMINATION
Install intake air piping for the Munchkin Boiler
as described in the Venting section. Do not ter-
minate exhaust in locations that can allow con-
tamination of intake air.
WARNING
WARNING
You must pipe outside air to the boiler air
intake. Ensure that the intake air will not
contain any of the contaminants below.
Contaminated air will damage the boiler,
resulting in possible severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage. For
example, do not pipe intake air vent near a
swimming pool. Also avoid areas subject to
exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These
areas will always contain contaminants.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in
flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions, causing severe personal injury or
death.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the
following steps shall be followed 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.

PART 4: PREPARE BOILER
A. REMOVE BOILER FROM BOX
CAUTION
1. Prior to installing, care must be taken to place
boiler in a safe location prior to installation on
the wall to prevent damage to the mechanical
connections.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been
stored in a very cold location (below 0°F) before
installation, handle with care until the plastic
components come to room temperature.
PART 5: BOILER PIPING
A. RELIEF VALVE
Connect discharge piping to safe disposal loca-
tion, following guidelines in the WARNING below.
WARNING
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
• Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the
discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the valve
discharge.
• Discharge line must be as short as possible and be the same size as the valve discharge connection
throughout its entire length.
• Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain where
any discharge will be clearly visible.
• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375
°F or greater.
• Do not pipe the discharge to any place where freezing could occur.
• No shutoff valve shall be installed between the relief valve and boiler, or in the discharge line. Do not plug
or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
• Test the operation of the valve after filling and pressurizing system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve
discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve.
• Failure to comply with the above guidelines could result in failure of the relief valve to operate, resulting in
possibility of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

and system water volume and temperature.
Allow 3 gallons for boiler and its piping and
4 gallons for the 399.
B. GENERAL PIPING INFORMATION
NOTICE
The Munchkin Boiler control module uses
temperature sensors to provide both high limit
protection and modulating temperature control.
The control module also provides low water
protection by sensing the water pressure of the
heat exchanger. Some codes/jurisdictions may
require additional external controls for high
limit and/or low water cutoff protection.
CAUTION
Undersized expansion tanks cause system
water to be lost from relief valve and makeup
water to be added through fill valve. Eventual
boiler failure can result due to excessive make-
up water addition.
2. Expansion tank must be located as shown in
Boiler Piping Part 5, or following recognized
design methods. See tank manufacturer’s
instructions for details.
C. SEPARATE LOW WATER CUTOFF
A low water cutoff may be required by state
local code or some insurance companies. Check
code requirements before installation of the
Munchkin Boiler. It is also required that a low
water cutoff be used if the boiler is installed
above the piping level.
3. Connect the expansion tank to the air
separator only if the separator is on the
suction side of the circulator. Always install
the system fill connection at the same point
as the expansion tank connection to the
system.
If required:
• Use a low water cutoff designed for
hydronic installations that is an electrode
probe type
• Install in a tee on the supply piping above
the boiler
• Follow low water cutoff manufacturer’s
instructions
4. Most chilled water systems are piped using a
closed type expansion tank.
Diaphragm (or bladder) expansion tank
1. Always install an automatic air vent on top of
the air separator to remove residual air from
the system.
D. BACKFLOW PREVENTER
F. CIRCULATORS
Use a backflow preventer specifically designed
for hydronic boiler installations. This valve
should be installed on the cold water fill supply
line per local codes. (See piping details at the
end of this section.)
CAUTION
DO NOT install automatic air vents on closed-
type expansion tank systems. Air must remain
in the system and return to the tank to provide
its air cushion. An automatic air vent would
cause air to leave system, resulting in water-
logging the expansion tank.
CAUTION
All piping methods shown in this manual use
primary/secondary connection to the boiler loop.
This is to avoid the possibility of noise or actuator
problems in zone valves because of the high-head
boiler circulator. For other piping methods, consult
your local Heat Transfer Products representative
or refer to separate Munchkin Boiler piping details
in this manual (Part 5).
CAUTION
DO NOT use the boiler circulator in any location
other than the ones shown in this manual. The
boiler circulator is selected to ensure adequate
flow through the Munchkin Boiler. Failure to
comply could result in unreliable performance
and nuisance shut downs from insufficient flow.
E. SYSTEM WATER PIPING METHODS
Expansion tank and make-up water
Sizing space heat system piping

primary/secondary connection.
certain that the system fluid is checked for the
correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level.
The system should be tested at least once a year
and as recommend by the producer of the glycol
solution. Allowance should be made for the
expansion of the glycol solution in the system
piping. Example 50% by volume solution
expands 4.8% in volume for the temperature
increase from 32 F to 180 F, while water expands
3% with the same temperature rise.
2. Size the piping and components in the space
heating system using recognized design
methods.
G. HYDRONIC PIPING WITH CIRCULATORS,
ZONE VALVES AND MULTIPLE BOILERS
The Munchkin Boiler is designed to function in a
closed loop 15 PSI System. A factory installed
water pressure switch will ensure that you have
adequate pressure in the system. The Munchkin
Boiler will not operate without a minimum of 10
PSI water pressure. This assures you that if the
system does have leak, the Munchkin Boiler will
lock out (PRO on the display) before it damages
the Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger. We have also
included a Temperature and Pressure gauge
which allows the user to monitor the system
pressure and outlet temperature from the
Munchkin Boiler. It is important to note that the
Munchkin Boiler has a minimal amount of
pressure drop and must be calculated when
sizing the circulators. Each Munchkin Boiler
installation must have an Air Elimination device
that will remove air from the system. Install the
Munchkin Boiler so the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, etc.) allowing clearance for basic
service of circulator replacement, valves and
other. Observe minimum 1” clearance around all
un-insulated hot water pipes when openings
around pipes are not protected by non-
combustible materials. On a Munchkin Boiler
installed above radiation level, some states and
local codes require a low water cut off device at
the time of installation (See Part C this section). If
the Munchkin Boiler supplies hot water to heating
coils in air handler units, flow control valves or
other devices must be installed to prevent gravity
circulation of heater water in the coils during the
cooling cycle. Chilled Water Medium must be
piped in parallel with the heater. Freeze Protection
for new or existing systems must use glycol that
is specifically formulated for this purpose. It will
include inhibitors that will prevent the glycol from
attacking the metallic system components. Make
Basic steps are listed below, with Illustration,
which will guide you through the installation of
the Munchkin.
CAUTION
The Munchkin Boiler should not be operated as
a potable Hot Water Heater. It should not be
used as a direct Hot Water Heating Device.
1. Connect the system return marked “Heater In”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Heater Out”.
3. Install Purge and Balance Valve or shut off
valve and drain on system return to purge air
out of each zone.
4. Install a Back Flow preventor on the Cold Feed
Make-Up Water line.
5. Install a Pressure Reducing Valve on the Cold
Feed Make-Up Water line, (15 PSI nominal on
the system return). Check Temperature and
Pressure Gauge which should read minimum
pressure of 12 PSI.
6. Install a circulator as shown in piping details
(this section). Make sure the circulator is
properly sized for the system and friction loss.
7. Install an Expansion Tank on the system
supply. Consult the tank manufacturer’s
instruction for specific information relating to
expansion tank installation. Size the expansion
tank for the required system volume and
capacity.
8. Install an Air Elimination Device on the system
supply.
9. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the
system. Note: The Munchkin Boiler can not be
drained completely of water without purging
the unit with an air pressure 15 PSI.

10. The Safety Relief Valve is installed at the
factory. Pipe the discharge of the safety relief
valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure
relief. Pipe the discharge 6” above the drain to
a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as
the safety relief valve outlet. Never block the
outlet of safety relief valve.
H. CIRCULATOR SIZING
The Munchkin Boiler Heat Exchanger does have
pressure drop which must be considered in
your system design. Refer to the graph in Fig. 5-

Upon completion, make sure that the fill valve is
in automatic position and each zone balance and
purge or shut off is in an open position and zone
valves are positioned for automatic operation.
I. FILL AND PURGE HEATING SYSTEM
•
Attach the hose to balance and purge hose
connector or drain valve and run hose to
nearest drain
WARNING
•
•
Close the other side of the balance and purge
valve or the shut off valve after the drain.
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions
which are specially formulated for hydronic
systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack
gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems.
Glycol mixtures should not exceed 50%.
Open first zone balance and purge or drain
valve to let water flow out the hose. If zone
valves are used, open the valves one at a
time manually. (Note: You should check valve
manufacturer’s instruction prior to opening
valves manually, so as not to damage the
valve.)
1. Glycol in hydronic applications which is
specially formulated for this purpose includes
inhibitors that prevent the glycol from
attacking metallic system components. Make
certain that the system fluid is checked for
the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor
level.
•
•
Manually operate fill valve regulator. When
water runs out of the hose, while it’s
connected to the balance and purge valve or
drain you will see a steady stream of water
(without bubbles). Close balance and purge
valve or drain to stop the water from flowing.
Disconnect the hose and connect it to next
zone to be purged.
2. The glycol solution should be tested at least
once a year and as recommended by the
glycol manufacturer.
Repeat this procedure for additional zones
(one at time).
3. Anti-freeze 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.
Allowances must be made for this expansion
in the system design.
CAUTION
For installation that incorporates standing Iron
Radiation and systems with manual vents at the
high points. Follow above section and starting
with the nearest manual air vent, open vent
until water flows out, then close vent. Repeat
procedure, working your way toward furthest
air vent. It may be necessary to install a basket
strainer in an older system where larger
amounts of sediment may be present. Annual
cleaning of the strainer may be necessary.
4. A 30% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU
output loss of 15% with a 5% increase in
head against system circulator.
5. A 50% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU
output loss of 30% with a 50% increase in
head against system circulator.

K. ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS
CAUTION
1. Connect boiler to system when circulator
zoning as shown in 1C and 1D in Piping
Details when zoning with circulators. The
boiler circulator cannot be used for a zone. It
must supply only the boiler loop.
It is highly recommended that you carefully
follow the glycol manufacturer’s recommended
concentrations, expansion requirements and
maintenance recommendations (pH additive
breakdown, inhibitor reduction, etc.). You must
carefully figure the additional friction loss in the
system as well as the reduction in heat transfer
co-efficients.
2. Install a separate circulator for each zone.
3. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown.
J. ZONING WITH ZONE VALVES
L. MULTIPLE BOILERS
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in 2A and
2B in Piping Details when zoning with zone
valves. The primary/secondary piping shown
ensures the boiler loop will have sufficient
flow. It also avoids applying the high head of
the boiler circulator to the zone valves.
1. Connect multiple boilers as shown in 1E and
1F in Piping Details.
2. All piping shown is reverse return to assure
balanced flow through the connected boilers.
3. Each connected boiler must have its own
circulator pump to assure adequate flow.
2. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown.
4. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown.

d. Effort should be made to keep a
minimum difference in equivalent length
between the intake air vent pipe and the
exhaust vent.
E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR VENT
SIZING
1. The exhaust vent and intake air vent pipes
should be 2" for the T50/T80, 3" for the
80M/140M/199M and 4" for the 399M.
3. The minimum combined equivalent length is
16 equivalent feet.
2. The total combined equivalent length of
exhaust vent and intake air pipe should not
exceed 85 feet.
F. LONGER VENT RUNS
1. The maximum combined equivalent length
can be extended by increasing the diameter
of both exhaust vent and intake air vent pipe
equally. However, the transitions should
begin a minimum of 15 equivalent feet from
the boiler.
a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees,
and other fittings are listed in the Friction
Loss Table 7.5.

APPROVED.
G. HEATER REMOVAL FROM A COMMON
VENT SYSTEM
2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and
fittings.
At the time of removal of an existing heater, the
following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the common
venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to com-
mon venting system are not operating.
3. All joints must be properly cleaned, primed,
and cemented. Use only cement and primer
approved for use with the pipe material.
Cement must conform to ASTM D2564 for
PVC or CPVC pipe and ASTM D2235 for ABS
pipe.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common
venting system.
WARNING
All joints of positive pressure vent systems
must be sealed completely to prevent leakage
of flue products into the living space.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch to determine if there
is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other defi-
ciencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows
and all doors between the space in which the
appliance remains connected to the common
venting system located and other spaces in
the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans,
such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts,
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.
4. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope
back towards the boiler not less than ¼" per
foot to allow condensate to drain from the
vent pipe. If the exhaust pipe must be piped
around an obstacle that results in the creation
of a low point, condensate will collect in this
low point and form a blockage. This
condensate must be drained away using a
field-installed condensate drain assembly as
shown.
4. Place in operation the appliance being
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will
operate continuously.
5. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe
hangers at a minimum of 4 foot intervals to
prevent sagging of the pipe where
condensate may form.
5. 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.
6. Do not use the boiler to support any piping.
7. A screened straight coupling is provided with
the boiler for use as an outside exhaust
termination.
6. After it has been determined that each
appliance remaining connected to common
venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous condition of use.
8. A screened inlet air tee is provided with the
boiler to be used as an outside intake
termination.
9. The following information on Table 7.7 are
optional intake air/exhaust vent terminations
available from Heat Transfer Products, Inc.
7. Any improper operation of the common
venting system should be corrected so the
installation conforms with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. 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 G in
the National Fuel Gas Code , ANSI Z 223.1

PART 7: VENTING, COMBUSTION AIR & CONDENSATE REMOVAL (CONTINUED)
I. CONDENSATE REMOVAL SYSTEM
CAUTION
This is a condensing high efficiency appliance,
therefore this unit has a condensate removal
system. Condensate is nothing more than water
vapor, derived from the combustion products,
similar to an automobile when it is initially start-
ed. It is very important that the condensate line
is sloped away from the boiler and down to a
suitable inside drain, if the condensate outlet on
the Munchkin Boiler is lower than the drain, you
must use a condensate removal pump (kit P/N
554200 available from Heat Transfer Products,
Inc.) A condensate filter, if required by local
authorities can be made up of lime crystals,
marble or phosphate chips will neutralize the
condensate. This can be done in the field by the
installer or you may purchase one from Heat
Transfer Products, Inc. (P/N N1100) It is also very
important that the condensate line is not
exposed to freezing temperatures, or any other
type of blockage. Plastic tubing must be the only
material used for the condensate line. Steel,
brass, copper or others will be subject to corro-
sion or deterioration. A second vent may be
necessary to prevent condensate line vacuum
lock if a long horizontal run is used. Also, an
increase in pipe size may be necessary to drain
properly. Support of the condensation line may
be necessary to avoid blockage of the conden-
sate flow.
The condensate line must remain unobstructed,
allowing free flow of condensate. If condensate
is allowed to freeze in the line or if the line is
obstructed in any other manor, condensate can
exit from the boiler tee, resulting in potential
water damage to property.
NOTICE
Use materials approved by the authority having
jurisdiction. In the absence of other authority,
PVC and CPVC pipe must comply with ASTM
D1785, F441 or D2665. Cement and primer must
comply with ASTM D2564 or F493. For Canada,
use CSA or ULC certified PVC or CPVC pipe,
fittings and cement.
When installing a condensate pump, select one
approved for use with condensing boilers and
furnaces. The pump should have an overflow
switch to prevent property damage from
condensate spillage.
Condensate from the Munchkin Boiler will be
slightly acidic (typically with a pH from 3.2 to
4.5). Install a neutralizing filter if required by
local codes.

The nipple provided is ½" with a factory installed
3/4" bell reducer. Do not remove this ¾" x ½" bell
reducer! It is mandatory that this fitting is used
for connection to a field fabricated drip leg as
shown in the illustration above per the National
Fuel Gas Code. You must ensure that the entire
gas line to the connection at the Munchkin is no
smaller than ¾". Once all the inspections have
been performed, the piping must be leak tested.
If the leak test requirement is a higher test pres-
sure than the maximum inlet pressure, you must
isolate the Munchkin from the gas line. In order
to do this, you must shut the gas off using fac-
tory and field-installed gas cocks. This will pre-
vent high pressure. Failure to do so may dam-
age the gas valve. In the event the gas valve is
exposed to a pressure greater than ½ PSI, 14"
water column, the gas valve must be replaced.
Never use an open flame (match, lighter, etc.) to
check gas connections.

It is recommended that a soapy solution be used
to detect leaks. Bubbles will appear on the pipe to
indicate a leak is present. The gas piping must be
sized for the proper flow and length of pipe, to
avoid pressure drop. Both the gas meter and the
gas regulator must be properly sized for the total
gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater
than 1" WC, the meter, regulator or gas line is
undersized or in need of service. You can attach a
manometer to the incoming gas drip leg, by
removing the cap and installing the manometer.
The gas pressure must remain between 3.5" and
14" during stand-by (static) mode and while in
operating (dynamic) mode. If an in-line regulator
is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the
Munchkin. It is very important that the gas line is
properly purged by the gas supplier or utility.
Failure to properly purge the lines or improper
line sizing, will result in ignition failure. This
problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP
installations and also in empty tank situations. This
can also occur when a utility company shuts off

ically due to degradation of inhibitors over time.
Follow all fluid manufacturer’s instructions.
A. CHECK/CONTROL WATER CHEMISTRY
WARNING
B. FREEZE PROTECTION (WHEN USED)
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Damage to
elastomer seals and gaskets in system could
occur, resulting in substantial property damage.
WARNING
NEVER use automotive or standard glycol
antifreeze, even ethylene glycol made for
hydronic systems. Use only freeze-prevention
fluids certified by fluid manufacturer as suitable
for use with stainless steel boilers, verified in
fluid manufacturer’s literature.
Throroughly clean and flush any system that
has has used glycol before installing the new
Boiler.
Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0
1. Maintain boiler water pH between 6.0 and 8.0.
Check with litmus paper or have chemically
analyzed by water treatment company.
2. If pH differs from above, consult local water
treatment company for treatment needed.
Provide boiler owner with a material safety data
sheet (MSDS) on the fluid used.
Hardness less than 7 grains.
1. Consult local water treatment companies for
unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains
hardness).
1. Determine freeze protection fluid quantity
using total system water content, following
fluid manufacturer’s instructions. Remember
to include expansion tank water content.
Chlorine concentration less than 200 ppm
1. Filling with chlorinated fresh water should be
acceptable since drinking water chlorine
levels are typically less than 5 ppm.
2. Local codes may require back flow preventer
or actual disconnect from city water supply.
3. When using freeze protection fluid with
automatic fill, install a water meter to monitor
water makeup. Freeze protection fluid may
leak before the water begins to leak, causing
concentration to drop, reducing the freeze
protection level.
2. Do not use the boiler to directly heat
swimming pool or spa water.
3. Do not fill boiler or operate with water
containing chlorine in excess of 200 ppm.
Clean system to remove sediment
C. FILL AND TEST WATER SYSTEM
1. You must thoroughly flush the system
(without boiler connected) to remove
sediment. The high-efficiency heat exchanger
can be damaged by buildup or corrosion due
to sediment.
1. Fill system only after ensuring the water
meets the requirements of this manual.
2. Close manual and automatic air vents and
boiler drain valve.
2. For zoned systems, flush each zone sepa-
rately through a purge valve. (If purge valves
and isolation valves are not already installed,
install them to properly clean the system.)
3. Fill to correct system pressure. Correct
pressure will vary with each application.
a. Typical cold water fill pressure for a
residential system is 12 psi.
b. Pressure will rise when boiler is turned
on and system water temperature
increases. Operating pressure must
never exceed 25 psig.
3. Flush system until water runs clean and you
are sure piping is free of sediment.
Test/replace freeze protection fluid
1. For systems using freeze protection fluids,
follow fluid manufacturer’s instructions to
verify inhibitor level and that other fluid
characteristics are satisfactory.
4. At initial fill and during boiler startup and
testing, check system thoroughly for any
leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding
further.
2. Freeze protection fluid must be replaced period-

one at a time, beginning with lowest
floor. Close vent when water squirts out.
Repeat with remaining vents.
WARNING
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh
make-up water will reduce boiler life. Minerals
can build up in the heat exchanger, reducing
heat transfer, overheating heat exchanger, and
causing heat exchanger failure.
j. Refill to correct pressure.
E. CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
WARNING
5. The system may have residual substances
that could affect water chemistry. After the
system has been filled and leak tested, verify
water pH and chlorine concentrations are
acceptable.
Before starting the boiler, and during initial
operation, smell near the floor and around the
boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor.
Remove boiler front door and smell interior of
boiler enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if
there is any indication of a gas leak. Repair any
leak at once.
CAUTION
It is important that you purge the system of air
to avoid damage to the boiler.
WARNING
D. PURGE AIR FROM WATER SYSTEM
Propane boilers only — Your propane supplier
mixes an odorant with the propane to make its
presence detectable. In some instances, the
odorant can fade, and the gas may no longer
have an odor. Before startup (and periodically
thereafter), have the propane supplier verify the
correct odorant level in the gas.
1. Purge air from system:
a. Connect a hose to the purge valve and
route hose to an area where water can
drain and be seen.
b. Close the boiler or system isolation valve
between the purge valve and fill
connection to the system.
c. Close zone isolation valves.
d. Open quick-fill valve on cold water make-
up line.
F. CHECK THERMOSTAT CIRCUIT(S)
1. Disconnect the two external wires connected
to the boiler thermostat terminals (low
voltage terminal strip terminals 5 and 6).
e. Open purge valve.
2. Connect a voltmeter across these two
incoming wires. Close each thermostat, zone
valve and relay in the external circuit one at
a time and check the voltmeter reading
across the incoming wires.
f. One zone at a time, open the isolation
valves. Allow water to run through the
zone, pushing out the air. Run until no
noticeable air flow is present. Close the
zone isolation valves and proceed with
the next zone. Follow this procedure until
all zones are purged.
g. Close the quick-fill water valve and purge
valve and remove the hose. Open all
isolation valves. Watch that system
pressure rises to correct cold-fill
pressure.
3. There should NEVER be a voltage reading.
4. If a voltage does occur under any condition,
check and correct the external wiring. (This is
a common problem when using 3-wire zone
valves.)
5. Once the external thermostat circuit wiring is
checked and corrected if necessary,
reconnect the external thermostat circuit
wires to boiler low voltage terminal strip
Allow the boiler to cycle.
h. After the system has operated for a
while, eliminate any residual air by using
the manual air vents located throughout
the system.
i. If purge valves are not installed in
system, open manual air vents in system
52

PART 11. START-UP PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
3. The Munchkin Boiler is equipped with an
internal vent on the top plug connection to
assure adequate flow of condensate. This
vent should never be blocked.
G. CHECK CONDENSATE REMOVAL
1. The Munchkin Boiler is a high efficiency
condensing boiler, there, the unit has a
condensation drain. Condensate is nothing
more than water vapor, derived from
combustion products, similar to an
automobile when it is initially started. The
condensation is slightly acidic (typically with
pH of 3 to 5) and must be piped with the
correct materials. Never pipe the condensate
using steel, copper, brass or other materials
that will be subject to corrosion. Plastic PVC
or CPVC pipe are the only approved
materials. A condensate filter, if required by
local authorities, can be made up of lime
crystal,s marble or phosphate chips that will
neutralize the condensate. This may be done
by the installer or you may purchase a
condensate neutralizer from Heat Transfer
Products, Inc. (P/N N1100)
4. If a long horizontal run is used, it may be
necessary to create a second vent to prevent
a vacuum lock in the condensate line. Do not
expose the condensate to freezing
temperatures.
5. Do not expose the condensate to freezing
temperatures.
6. It is very important you support the
condensation line to assure proper drainage.
H. FINAL CHECKS BEFORE STARTING BOILER
1. Read Startup Procedures within this manual
for proper steps to start boiler. (See Startup
Report to record steps for future reference.)
2. Verify the boiler and system are full of water
and all system components are correctly set
for operation.
2. The Munchkin Boiler is equipped with a ¾
pipe connection that runs the condensation
line to a local drain. It is very important that
the condensate line is sloped away from the
heater and down to a suitable inside drain. If
the condensate outlet is lower than the drain,
you must use a condensate removal pump,
available at Heat Transfer Products (#554200).
This pump is equipped with two leads that
can be connected to an alarm or another type
of warning device to alert residents of a
condensate overflow, which, if not corrected,
could cause property damage.
3. Fill condensate trap with water.
4. Verify electrical connections are correct and
securely attached.
5. Inspect intake piping and exhaust piping for
signs of deterioration from corrosion, physical
damage or sagging. Verify intake piping and
exhaust piping are intact and correctly
installed per Venting section and local code.
PART 12. START-UP PROCEDURE
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
1. This appliance does not have pilot. It is equipped with an ignition
device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the
burner by hand.
3. Turn on gas shutoff valve (located inside of the Boiler) so that the
handle is aligned with the gas pipe. If the handle will not turn by
hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force
or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
5. The Munchkin Boiler shall be installed so the gas ignition system
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.)
during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement,
condensate trap, control replacement, etc.)
2. 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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Donottouch any electricswitch;do notuseany phoneinyourbuilding.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
Follow the gas suppliers' instructions.

PART 13: START-UP PROCEDURES WITH THE VISION 1
The Vision I option allows the user to have one
temperature for central heating and another
temperature for the Super Stor Ultra Indirect
Fired Water Heater. This allows the user to
increase the temperature supplied to the Super
Stor Ultra indirect water heater to get a fast
recovery by prioritizing the flow at a higher tem-
perature than may be needed for the Central
Heating Circuits (this will require two separate
circulators). Once the Super Stor Ultra Indirect is
satisfied, the Vision I system will switch back to
the Central Heating Circuit to continue to heat
the living space at a temperature based on out-
side temperature. This gives you a higher com-
fort level and further increases the efficiency of
the Munchkin Boiler.
A. PROGRAMMING THE VISION I OPTION
The Vision I allows the installer to set system
limits and the heat curve for the Munchkin
Boiler. These system limits should not be
changed by the user. It is important to document
your settings within this manual after you pro-
gram the sytem parameters so this will be
recorded for future reference.

PART 14: TROUBLESHOOTING
A. MUNCHKIN ERROR CODE
WARNING
An error code may occur in the installation of
the Munchkin. This condition may lead to a lock
out condition of the controller, which will need
to be manually reset through the S4/Reset but-
ton. These temporary codes will help the
installer correct the problem before going into a
lock out condition, which will require a manual
reset.
When servicing or replacing any components of this
boiler be certain that:
• The gas is off.
• All electrical power is disconnected
DANGER
When servicing or replacing that are in direct contact
with the boiler water, be certain that:
• There is no pressure in the boiler. (Pull the release
on the relief valve. Do not depend on the pressure
gauge reading).
• The boiler water is not hot
• The electrical power is off
B. BOILER ERROR
1. When an error condition occurs the controller
will display an error code on the display
module.
2. These error codes and several suggested
