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.

Children, disabled, and elderly are  
at highest risk of being scalded.  
See instruction manual before set-  
ting temperature at water heater.  
Feel water before bathing or show-  
ering.  
Temperature limiting valves are  
available, see manual.  
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the boil-  
er’s burner has shut off. To determine the water  
temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water  
faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water  
stream.

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.

All Air from Outdoors  
If all combustion air is drawn from the air outside the  
building (the mechanical equipment room directly  
communicates with the outdoors), either of the follow-  
ing two methods can be used:  
1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the boiler  
shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation  
air at the highest practical point communicating  
with outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of  
such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the  
area required in (2) and (3), but in no case shall  
the cross-sectional area be less than 10 square  
inches (6500 square mm).  
Method 1:  
1. The mechanical equipment room must be provid-  
ed with two permanent openings, one  
commencing within (twelve) 12 inches of the top,  
and one commencing within twelve (12) inches of  
the bottom of the room.  
2. When air supply is provided by natural air flow  
from the outdoors for natural draft, partial fan  
assisted, fan-assisted or power draft-assisted  
burners, there shall be a permanent air supply  
opening(s) having a cross section area of not less  
than 1 sq. in. per 7000 BTUH (310 sq. mm per kW)  
up to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 sq. in.  
per 14000 BTUH (155 sq. mm per kW) in excess  
2. The openings must communicate directly, or by  
ducts, with the outdoors.  
3. Each opening must have a minimum free area of  
one (1) square inch per 4,000 BTUH of total input  
rating of all equipment in the room when the open-  
ing is communicating directly with the outdoors or  
11  
of 1 million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either  
located at or 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 pre-  
ferred straight down 18 inches from floor, but do  
not place near piping. This air supply opening  
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.  
Temperature & Pressure  
Gauge  
The temperature and pressure gauge is factory-  
mounted in the inlet/outlet header.  
12  
40°F  
ΔP Should include typical piping To/From a single tank as well as bypass piping.  
Table E: Rate of Flow and Pressure Drop  
NOTE: gpm flow rates limited by maximum  
acceptable velocity through heat exchanger tubes.  
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

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.

stand snow and wind loads.  
Natural Draft Vertical Venting  
System Installation  
Natural draft venting uses the natural buoyancy of the  
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  
Condensing Heat Exchanger)  
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.

Appendix B of the latest edition of the Installation  
Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.  
d) Place in operation the appliances being inspected.  
Follow the manufacturers instructions for lighting  
each appliance. Adjust thermostat so appliance  
will operate continuously.  
e) Test for natural draft (negative pressure) 12"  
above the outlet elbow after 5 minutes of main  
burner operation. Use the flame of a match or can-  
dle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe, toilet

f) After it has been determined that each appliance  
remaining connected to the common venting sys-  
tem properly vents when tested as outlined above,  
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace  
dampers and other gas burning appliances to their  
previous conditions of use.  
g) Any improper operation of the common venting  
system should be corrected so that the installation  
conforms with the latest edition of the National

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.  
32  
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.  
WARNING: For common vent installations call  
factory.  
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent  
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would  
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.  
The Stainless Steel direct vent cap must be fur-  
nished by the boiler manufacturer in accordance  
with its listing.

and Equipment. Gas vents supported only by flashing  
and extended above the roof more than five feet  
should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow  
and wind loads.  
Vertical Direct Venting System  
Installation  
These installations utilize the boiler mounted blower to  
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

(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.

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.

Low Water Cut Off (Optional)  
PRE-START-UP  
The low water cut off automatically shuts down the  
burner whenever water level drops below the level of  
the sensing probe. A 3 second time delay prevents  
premature lockout due to temporary conditions such  
as power fluctuations or air pockets.  
Fill the System:  
1. Close manual and automatic air vents and drain  
cock.  
2. Fill to correct system pressure. Correct pressure  
will vary with each application.  
3. Open automatic air vent two turns.  
4. Slowly feed water to boiler.  
5. Starting on the lowest floor, open air vents one at  
a time until water squirts out. Close vent.  
6. Repeat with remaining vents.  
7. Close manual water feed valve when correct boil-  
er pressure is reached.  
Inspect Venting System:  
1. Check all vent pipe connections and flue pipe  
material.  
2. Ensure vent terminations are installed per code  
and are clear of all debris or blockage.

The low gas pressure switch mounts upstream of the  
gas pressure regulator to ensure that sufficient gas  
pressure is present for proper regulator performance.  
The low gas pressure switch automatically shuts down  
the boiler if gas supply drops below the factory setting  
of 6 in. WC for Natural gas, and 10 in. WC for Propane  
gas.  
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions  
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing  
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.  
1. This appliance has an intermittent pilot. It is  
equipped with an ignition device which automati-  
cally lights the pilot. DO NOT try to light the pilot or  
burner by hand.  
The high gas pressure switch (optional) mounts down-  
stream of the gas pressure regulator. If the gas  
pressure regulator fails, the high gas pressure switch  
automatically shuts down the burner.  
2. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appli-  
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the  
floor because some gas is heavier than air and will  
settle on the floor.  
3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:  
Do not try to light any appliance.  
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use  
any telephone in your building.  
Immediately call your gas supplier from a  
neighbor's telephone. Follow the gas suppli-  
er's instructions.  
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the  
fire department.  
4. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas con-  
trol knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn  
by hand, do not try to repair it, call a qualified serv-  
ice technician. Forced or attempted repair may

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

LIMITED PARTS WARRANTY  
ADVANCED DESIGN BOILER™  
SCOPE:  
Raypak, Inc. ("Raypak") warrants to the original owner that all parts of this boiler which are actually manufactured by Raypak  
will be free from failure under normal use and service for the specified warranty periods and subject to the conditions set forth  
in this Warranty. Labor charges and other costs for parts removal or reinstallation, shipping and transportation are not cov-  
ered by this Warranty but are the owner's responsibility.  
HEAT EXCHANGER WARRANTY:  
° Ten (10) Years from date of boiler installation. This includes only cupro-nickel with bronze or cast iron waterways.  
° Twenty (20) Years from date of boiler installation against "Thermal Shock" (excluded, however, if caused by boiler opera-  
tion at large changes exceeding 150°F between the water temperature at intake and boiler temperature, or operating at boiler  
temperatures exceeding 230°F).  
BLUFF HEAD BODY BURNER WARRANTY:  
° Ten (10) Years from date of boiler installation.  
ANY OTHER PART MANUFACTURED BY RAYPAK:  
One (1) Year warranty from date of boiler installation, or eighteen (18) months from date of factory shipment based on  
Raypak's records, whichever comes first.  
SATISFACTORY PROOF OF INSTALLATION DATE, SUCH AS INSTALLER INVOICE, IS REQUIRED. THIS WARRANTY  
WILL BE VOID IF THE BOILER RATING PLATE IS ALTERED OR REMOVED.  
ADDITIONAL WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:  
This warranty does not cover failures or malfunctions resulting from:  
1. Failure to properly install, operate or maintain the boiler in accordance with our printed instructions provided;  
2. Abuse, alteration, accident, fire, flood and the like;  
3. Sediment or lime buildup, freezing, or other conditions causing inadequate water circulation;  
4. High velocity flow exceeding boiler design rates;  
5. Failure of connected systems devices, such as pump or controller;  
6. Use of non-factory authorized accessories or other components in conjunction with the boiler system;  
7. Failing to eliminate air from, or replenish water in, the connected water system;  
8. Chemical, particulate matter or other airborne contamination of combustion air or use of chemical additives to water.  
PARTS REPLACEMENT:  
Under this Warranty, Raypak will furnish a replacement for any failed part. The failed part must first be returned to Raypak if  
requested, with transportation charges prepaid, and all applicable warranty conditions found satisfied. The replacement part  
will be warranted for only the unexpired portion of the original warranty. Raypak makes no warranty whatsoever on parts not  
manufactured by it, but Raypak will apply any such warranty as may be provided to it by the parts manufacturer.  
TO MAKE WARRANTY CLAIM:  
Promptly notify the original installer, supplying the model and serial numbers of the unit, date of installation and description  
of the problem. The installer must then notify his Raypak distributor for instructions regarding the claim. If either is not avail-  
able, contact Service Manager, Raypak, Inc., 2151 Eastman Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93030 or call (805) 278-5300. In all cases  
proper authorization must first be received from Raypak before replacement of any part.  
EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:  
This is the only warranty given by Raypak. No one is authorized to make any other warranties on Raypak's behalf. THIS  
WARRANTY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. RAYPAK'S SOLE LIA-  
BILITY AND THE SOLE REMEDY AGAINST RAYPAK WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE PARTS SHALL BE AS PROVIDED  
IN THIS WARRANTY. IT IS AGREED THAT RAYPAK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY, WHETHER UNDER THIS WARRANTY,  
OR IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL  
DAMAGE, INCLUDING DAMAGE FROM WATER LEAKAGE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied  
warranty lasts, or for the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitation or exclusion may not  
apply to you.  
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. We  
suggest that you complete the information below and retain this certificate in the event warranty service is needed.  
Reasonable proof of the effective date of the warranty (date of installation) must be presented, otherwise, the effective date  
will be based on the date of manufacture plus thirty (30) days.
