Time/Temperature
Relationships in Scalds
GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial water use needs, an external
operating control for this hot water boiler is adjustable
up to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F
can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds.
The preferred starting point for setting the control for
supplying general purpose hot water is 125°F.
The following chart details the relationship of water
temperature and time with regard to scald injury and
may be used as a guide in determining the safest
water temperature for your applications.

The temperature of the water in the hot water boiler
can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on
front of the thermostat. To comply with safety regula-
tions the thermostat was set at its lowest setting before
the hot water boiler was shipped from the factory. The
illustration below shows the thermostat and how to
adjust the water temperature.
Equipment Base
The boiler should be mounted on a level, structurally
sound surface. The boiler is approved for and can be
installed on a combustible surface but must NEVER
be installed on carpeting. Gas fueled equipment
installed in enclosed parking garages must be located
at least 18 inches above the floor.
To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight
screwdriver into slotted screw in hole in front of ther-
mostat and turn wheel to desired setting.
CAUTION: The boiler should be located in an area
where water leakage will not result in damage to the
area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan
must not restrict air flow.
Adjustment
Screw
In addition, the boiler shall be installed such that the
gas ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance
operation and service (circulator replacement, control
replacement, etc.).

Combustion and Ventilation Air
Indoor Units
The boiler must be supplied with sufficient quantities of
non-contaminated air to support proper combustion
and equipment ventilation. Combustion air can be sup-
plied via conventional venting, where combustion air is
drawn from the area immediately surrounding the boil-
er, or via direct vent, where combustion air is drawn
directly from outside. All installations must comply with
the requirements of NFGC for U.S., CSA B149 for
Canada, and all local codes.
NOTE: In calculating free area, the required size of
openings for combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
shall be based on net free area of each opening. If
the free area through a design of louver or grill is
known, it shall be used in calculating the size
opening required to provide the free area specified.
For additional information, refer to the latest NFGC
code requirements.

requirement shall be in addition to the air opening
for ventilation air required in (1).
Relief Valve Piping
WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping
must be piped near the floor close to a floor drain to
eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe
to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to
local codes.
Hydrostatic Test
3. When air supply is provided by natural air flow
from outdoors for a power burner and there is no
draft regulator, draft hood or similar flue gas dilu-
tion device installed in the same space, in addition
to the opening for ventilation air required in (1),
there shall be a permanent air supply opening(s)
having a total cross-sectional area of not less than
1 sq. in. for each 30,000 BTUH (70 sq. mm per
kW) of total rated input of the burner(s), and the
location of the opening(s) shall not interfere with
the intended purpose of the opening(s) for ventila-
tion air referred to (1). This opening(s) can be
ducted to a point neither more than 18 inches (450
mm) nor less than 6 inches (150 mm) above the
floor level. The duct can also "Goose Neck"
through the roof. The duct is preferred to be
straight down 18 inches from floor, but do not
place near piping.
Unlike many other types of boilers, Raypak boilers do
not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in
operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac-
tory-tested and is rated for 160 PSI operating
pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydro-
statically testing the piping connections to the boiler
and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is
particularly true for hydronic systems using expensive
glycol-based antifreeze. Raypak recommends con-
ducting the hydrostatic test before connecting gas
piping or electrical supply.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to
the boiler. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak
compounds.
1. Connect fill water supply. Fill boiler with water (be
sure bleed valve is open). When water flows from
bleed valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve.
Carefully fill the rest of the system, being sure to
eliminate any entrapped air by using high point
vents. Close feed valve. TEST AT standard oper-
ating pressure for at least 24 hours.
4. Refer to the latest version of CSA B149 for addi-
tional information.
WATER PIPING
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been
maintained throughout test.
General
The boiler should be located so that any water leaks
will not cause damage to the adjacent area or struc-
tures.
3. Check for leaks. Repair if found.
Low Temperature System
All units should be plumbed in accordance with the
appropriate diagram from the following sections or per
a suitable engineered piping arrangement.
Boiler requires minimum inlet temperature of 105°F.
Consult the following sections for piping details. (For
Pool temperature requirements, See the Pool Heating
Section).
CAUTION: This boiler requires forced water
circulation when the burner is operating. See Table E
for minimum and maximum flow rates and water
pump selection. The pump must be interlocked with
the boiler to prevent boiler operation without water
circulation.

May be increased by 10% for closed heating
systems. Pressure drop would increase by 21%.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler
connected to heating coils located in air handling units
where they may be exposed to circulating refrigerated
air, must be equipped with flow control valves or other
automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the
boiler water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recom-
mended that the piping be insulated.
HYDRONIC HEATING
Pump Selection
Air-Separation/Expansion Tank
In order to ensure proper performance of your boiler
system, you must install a properly sized pump.
Raypak recommends using a 20°F ΔT as design ΔT.
(ΔT is the temperature difference between the inlet
and outlet water when the boiler is firing at full rate). If
a ΔT larger than 20°F is necessary, the bypass must
be installed and adjusted to ensure proper hydraulics
through the boiler while still allowing minimum flow to
satisfy the safety flow switch. See Table E for flow rate
requirements.
All boilers should be equipped with a properly sized
expansion tank with an air separation fitting as shown
in the following diagrams.
Three-Way Valves
Valves designed to blend water temperatures or
reduce water circulation through the boiler should not
be used. Raypak heaters are high recovery low mass
heaters not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a
full line of electric sequencers that produce direct reset
of boiler water temperature. Refer to the Controls
Section in our Complete Catalog.
Pressure Drop in Feet of Head
Feedwater Regulator
Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be in-
stalled and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the
highest point of the system. Install a check valve or
back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a
manual shut-off valve as required by local codes.
Piping — Heating Boilers
All high points should be vented. Purge valves and a
bypass valve should be installed. A boiler installed
above radiation level must be provided with a low
water cutoff device. The boiler, when used in connec-
tion with a refrigeration system, must be installed so
the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler
with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium
from entering the boiler.

POOL HEATING
CAUTION: Power to the heater should be
interlocked with the main system pump to make sure
the heater does not fire without the main system
pump in operation. Improper flow control can
damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or
restricted flow (too low) can seriously affect heater
operation. Follow these instructions to make sure
your heater is properly installed.
All chemicals must be introduced and completely dilut-
ed into the pool or spa water before being circulated
through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or
bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen-
trations will result when the pump is not running (i.e.
overnight).

h) DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or
gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze causing
ice formations.
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest
on the boiler vent connection. Support must be provid-
ed in compliance with applicable codes. The vent
should also be supported to maintain proper clear-
ances from combustible materials.
i) Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from
damaging exterior finishes. Use a 2' x 2' rust
resistant sheet metal backing plate against brick
or masonry surfaces.
Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent pass-
es through combustible roofs and walls.
j) DO NOT extend exposed vent pipe outside of
building. Condensate could freeze and block vent
pipe.
Vent Terminal Location
k) Multiple direct vent caps, when installed in the
same horizontal plane, should have a three (3)
foot clearance from the side of one vent cap to the
side of the adjacent vent cap(s).
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap
and make sure no blockage occurs from build up of
snow. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap.
Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a
blocked flue condition.

heated flue products to create a thermal driving head
that expels the exhaust gases from the flue. The neg-
ative draft must be within the range of 0.01 in. to 0.08
in. WC negative to ensure proper operation. The vent
material must be in accordance with the above instruc-
tions for vent materials. Vent material must be listed by
a nationally recognized test agency.
CAUTION: Listed vent cap terminal must be used
and sized adequately to evacuate the flue products
from the boilers.
The maximum and minimum venting length for
Category I appliance shall be determined per the lat-
est edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) or
B149 Installation Code (Canada).
Natural Draft Vertical Venting with
Common Venting System, Category
I Appliance Only
(NOT to be Utilized with Add-on

The diameter of vent flue pipe should be sized accord-
ing to Part 11 of the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code (U.S.) and part 7 and appendix B of the
CSA B149 Installation Code (Canada). The flue pipe
diameter for conventional negative draft venting using
double-wall B type vent is 8” for the ADB 751, 10” for
the 1001, and 12” for the ADB 1501.
Manifolds that connect more than one boiler to a com-
mon chimney must be sized to handle the combined
load. Consult available guides for proper sizing of the
manifold and the chimney. At no time should the area
of the vent be less than the area of the largest boiler
exhaust outlet.
NOTE: Vent Adapter will have to be used to connect
B vent to the unit.
WARNING: Vent connectors serving appliances
vented by natural draft shall not be connected into
any portion of mechanical draft systems operating
under a positive pressure.
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack
must be as direct as possible and shall be the same
diameter as, or larger than the vent outlet. The vent
must be installed to prevent accumulation of
condensate and, where necessary, have means
provided for drainage of condensate. The horizontal
breaching of a vent must have an upward slope of not
less than 1/4 inch per linear foot from the boiler to the
vent terminal. The horizontal portions of the vent shall
also be supported for the design and weight of the
material employed to maintain clearances and to
prevent physical damage or separation of joints.
CAUTION: Vent connectors for natural draft
venting systems must be type “B” vent or better.
Common venting systems may be too large when an
existing unit is removed. At the time of removal of an
existing appliance, the following steps must be fol-
lowed 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.

The direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior
of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be installed
in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap must be
installed at least one (1) foot above ground level and
above normal snow levels.
The direct vent cap is not considered in the overall
length of the venting system.
Care must be taken during assembly that all joints are
sealed properly and are airtight.
Multiple direct vent caps MUST NOT be installed with
one combustion air inlet directly above a direct vent
cap. This vertical spacing would allow the flue prod-
ucts from the direct vent cap to be pulled into the
combustion air intake installed above.

This type of installation can cause non warrantable
problems with components and poor operation of the
unit due to the recirculation of flue products. Multiple
direct vent caps, when installed in the same horizontal
plane, should have three (3) foot clearance from the
side of one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent
cap(s).
Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of
particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a
blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of
snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.

draw combustion air from outdoors and uses the natu-
ral buoyancy of the heated flue products to create a
thermal driving head that expels the exhaust gases
from the flue. The negative draft must be within the
range of -0.01 in. to -0.08 in. WC to ensure proper
operation.
The vertical direct vent cap is designed for roof top
mounting only. The air inlet opening MUST be installed
one (1) foot above the roof line or above normal snow
levels that might obstruct combustion air flow. This
dimension is critical to the correct operation of the boil-
er and venting system and reduces the chance of
blockage from snow. The vent cap must have a mini-
mum 3 foot vertical clearance above the air inlet
opening.
The vent material must be in accordance with the
above instructions for vent materials. Vent material
must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency.
The maximum and minimum venting length for
Category I appliance shall be determined per the lat-
est edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) and
CSA B149 Installation Code (Canada).
The diameter of vent flue pipe should be sized accord-
ing to part 11 of the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code (U.S.) and part 7 and Appendix B of CSA
B149 Installation Code (Canada). The flue pipe diam-
eter for conventional negative draft venting using
double-wall B type vent is 12” for the ADB 1501.
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack
must be as direct as possible and should be the same
as or larger than the vent outlet. The vent must be
installed to prevent accumulation of condensate and,
where necessary, have means provided for drainage
of condensate. The horizontal breaching of a vent
must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch
per linear foot from the boiler to the vent terminal.
The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be sup-
ported for the design and weight of the material
employed to maintain clearances and to prevent phys-
ical damage or separation of joints.

Vertical Direct Vent Termination
The vent terminal should be vertical and should termi-
nate outside the building at least two (2) feet above the
highest point of the roof within 10 feet. The vent cap
should have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet hor-
izontally from and in no case above or below (unless a
four (4) foot horizontal distance is maintained) electric
meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public
walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and
building openings must be consistent with the National
Fuel Gas Code, or in Canada, the latest edition of CSA
B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances

Add-on Condensing Heat Exchanger Condensing Heat Exchanger
(Category IV) Installation
Outdoor models are self-venting when installed with
the factory-supplied non-restricted direct vent cap and
require no additional vent piping. This special vent cap
is provided with the boiler in accordance with CSA
requirements. It must be installed directly on the boiler
in a horizontal position. Notching of the vent cap
mounting flange may be necessary to clear outlet pip-
ing on some models.
These installations utilize the boiler mounted blower to
draw combustion air from outdoors and vent combus-
tion products to the outdoors.
UL 1738 Certified Venting Material (e.g. AL29-4C)
MUST be used. The vent must be installed to prevent
flue gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly
to ensure that all joints are sealed properly and are air-
tight.
Care must be taken when locating the outdoor unit
because the flue gases discharged from the vent cap
can condense as they leave the cap. Improper location
can result in damage to adjacent structures or building
finish. For maximum efficiency and safety, the follow-
ing precautions must be observed:
For certain installations, i.e. pool, heat-pump, domes-
tic hot water supply with pre-heat tank, PVC or CPVC
may be used. Contact manufacturer for details.
To prevent the condensation accumulation in the vent,
it is required to install the horizontal portion of vent with
a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4" per foot of
horizontal run and an approved condensate trap must
be installed per applicable codes.
a) Outdoor models must be installed outdoors and
must use the non-restricted direct vent cap sup-
plied by the manufacturer.
b) Periodically check venting system. The boiler’s
venting areas must never be obstructed in any
way and minimum clearances must be observed to
prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation
air. Keep area clear and free of combustible and
flammable materials.
WARNING: For common vent installations, contact
the factory.
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
c) Do not locate adjacent to any window, door walk-
way, or gravity air intake. The vent should be
located four (4) feet horizontally from such areas.
The Stainless Steel non-restricted direct vent cap
must be furnished by the boiler manufacturer in
accordance with its listing.
d) Install above grade level and above normal snow
levels.
39
e) A venting system shall terminate at least 3 feet
above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
NOTE: In areas of high winds (alleyways, air
handlers, etc.), a downward 90° - elbow must be
mounted on the combustion air inlet to prevent any
air flow fluctuation.
f) Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be pro-
tected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.
g) Multiple Outdoor Vent installations require a four
(4) feet clearance between vent caps.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
NOTE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap.
Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a
blocked flue condition.
WARNING:All condensation should be disposed of
according to local, county, state, and federal laws.
Refer to NFGC, section 7.9, for additional
information.
The Stainless Steel non-restricted vent cap must
be furnished by the boiler manufacturer in accor-
dance with its listing.
The Condensing Heat Exchanger (CHX) can generate
up to 1 (one) gallon per hour (gph) of condensate for
every 100,000 BTUH. The maximum condensation
rate for the ADB 751 is 7.5 gph, the ADB 1001 is 10
gph, and the ADB 1501 is 15 gph.
The outdoor vent terminal must be installed in a hori-
zontal position to prevent recirculation of flue products.
The vent cap must be mounted directly on the vent
pipe of the boiler.

Central Point Wiring (CPW)
CONTROLS
Central Point Wiring is an advanced control integration
technique that provides complete boiler diagnostic
capability and greatly simplifies troubleshooting. At the
heart of CPW is the Operations Status Center, which
is comprised of two different circuit boards: the CPW
board and one or more U-2 Diagnostic Boards.
WARNING: Installation, adjustment and service of
boiler controls including timing of various operating
functions must be performed by a qualified installer
or service agency. Failure to do so may result in
control damage, boiler malfunction, property
damage, personal injury, or death.
The CPW Board
WARNING: Turn off the power to the boiler before
installation, adjustment or service of the Central
Point Wiring board or any boiler controls. Failure to
do so may result in board damage, boiler
malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or
death.
The Central Point Wiring (CPW) board serves as the
central tie point for connecting all other control compo-
nents in the boiler. The CPW board provides boiler
operating status and fault indication using eight LEDs
which function as described in Table S.
In addition to monitoring and displaying boiler status,
the CPW board controls the timing of various operat-
ing functions including: boiler pump turn-off delay,
blower fan pre-purge, and blower fan post-purge. The
location of each user adjustable timing is shown in
Figure 30.
CAUTION: This appliance has provisions to be
connected to more than one (1) supply source. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all such
connections before servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. More than one
(1) disconnect switch may be required to de-
energize the equipment before servicing.

energy until the next call for heat.
The CPW board has a built-in post-purge delay to
exhaust residual combustion products after the main
gas valve closes. The post-purge timing is factory set
at 3 minutes and is not field-adjustable.
The pump-off time delay should be set to the minimum
time required to extract all residual heat from the heat
exchanger. If temperature as monitored at the boiler
outlet increases more than 5°F after the pump turns off
following a firing cycle, the pump-off time delay should
be extended by thirty seconds. Increase or decrease
time delay as appropriate until outlet temperature does
not spike more than 5°F after pump shut-off following
a prolonged firing cycle (> 5min.)
Freeze Protection Feature
The CPW board is programmed to turn-off the blower
in case there is a lock-out condition. If there is a call for
heat signal, and the pilot valve signal is removed and
not reactivated within a pre-set time for any reason,
the CPW board will turn off the blower to prevent blow-
ing cold air continuously and freezing the heat
exchanger. The blower drives will open and the system
will lock in the off state.
CAUTION: The boiler requires forced water
circulation when the burner is operating and the
pump must be interlocked with the boiler. See the
Water Piping section for minimum and maximum
water flow rates and pump selection.
To restart the system, primary power or the thermostat
signal must be turned off and back on. The pre-set
freeze protection feature time is approximately 5 min-
utes.
NOTE: Pump will come on when power is first
applied to the boiler.

additional light indicates that the diagnostics board is
energized and is currently monitoring for safety faults.
(In order to prevent spurious alarm conditions, the U-2
board monitors safeties only during the actual firing
cycle.)
U-2 Diagnostics Board
The U-2 Diagnostics board is a solid-state electronic
fault indicator that has been engineered to enhance
safety, simplify troubleshooting and minimize equip-
ment down time. The U-2 safety board is the central
point for wiring, operations monitoring, and fault indi-
cation for the boiler safeties. By having each safety
report directly to the U-2 board, each safety function
can be individually monitored.
Once a fault has been detected, the U-2 board will illu-
minate the corresponding LED lamp, will shut-down
the boiler, and will light the flashing red LED “Service”
lamp on the CPW board. If more than one fault is
detected, the U-2 board will display the priority fault
based on the safety hierarchy as labeled on the U-2
board. Once the first fault is cleared, the second fault
lamp will illuminate until cleared.
The U-2 adds complete diagnostics features that aid in
the rapid diagnosis of irregularities in boiler operation.
A single U-2 Diagnostics Board can monitor a maxi-
mum of eight safeties at one time. If, due to code
requirements, more than eight safety devices must be
monitored, two or more boards will be used to provid-
ed extended diagnostics capabilities. Advanced
Design Boilers equipped with the standard safety suite
will utilize the configuration shown in Table T.
WARNING: Only qualified persons shall attempt to
repair the boiler. Improper adjustment, service or
maintenance may damage the equipment, create a
hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explosion, fire,
electric shock, personal injury or property damage,
and will void the warranty.

APPENDIX
Inside Combustion Air
Contamination:
Check for areas and products as listed above before
installing boiler. If found:
All boilers experience some condensation during start-
up. The condensate from flue gas is slightly acidic. In
most cases the pH level is not harmful to vents or
drains. When combustion air is contaminated by
vapors from products in areas listed below, the acidic
levels in the condensate increase. Higher acidic levels
attack many materials, including stainless steel com-
monly used in high efficiency systems.
•
•
remove products permanently, OR
provide outdoor combustion air
The ADB can use special corrosion-resistant non-
metallic vent material. You may, however, choose to
use outside combustion air for one or more of these
reasons:
•
•
•
installation is in an area containing contaminants
listed below which will induce acidic condensation.
you want to reduce infiltration into your building
through openings around windows and doors.
you are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe,
which is more corrosion-resistant than standard
metallic vent pipe. In extremely contaminated
area, this may also experience deterioration.
Products causing contaminated combustion air:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes/cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
calcium chloride used for thawing
sodium chloride used for water softening
refrigerant leaks
paint or varnish removers
hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
