DVF INSTALL MANUAL PAGE 5

WARNING

Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of producing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is very toxic.

If your BIASI boiler is not working properly, or is not vented properly, dangerous levels of CO may accumulate. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the building. BRIEF EXPOSURE TO

HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF CO

MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EXPOSURE CAN BE FATAL AND

EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS

INCLUDING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following: dizziness headache vision problems shortness of breath loss of muscle control unclear thinking

The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the highest incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season. A victim may not experience any symptoms , only one symptom, or a few symptoms. Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if

symptoms tend to disappear when you leave your home.

The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:

 Hot gasses from appliance, venting system, pipes or chimney, escaping into the living space.

 Flames coming out around the appliance.

 Yellow colored flames in the appliance.

 Stale or smelly air.

 The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.

 Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.

If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are present, VACATE

THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR

THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

To reduce the risk of CO poisoning, have your heating system "tuned up" by a licensed heating contractor or the gas company - preferably before each heating season. Also have the service company check your chimney or vent pipes for blockage.

Your home should also be adequately ventilated, particularly if you have insulated your home.

ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM WORK ON YOUR

B-10 OR SG BOILER.

1. General Information

The QHT Direct Vent components have been designed and packaged so that the Biasi B-10 and SG boilers can be directly vented to the outside. Properly maintained, these boiler systems are unsurpassed in efficiency and will provide years of trouble-free operation.

In addition to the standard Biasi boiler package, the Direct Vent Package is supplied with a kit containing the standard make-up air and appropriate exhaust system piping and hoods for your application. The last piece of the complete package is a direct vent specific burner.

The Direct Vent Systems are a non-powered positive pressure vent hood system for gas or oil fired appliances that provides an outlet for exhaust gases and an intake for combustion air. The hood is designed to direct the hot exhaust gases away from the structure without the aid of a motorized fan. All of the internal parts in contact with the flue gases are made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.

NOTICE:

All equipment should be inspected upon delivery, and any damage or shortage should be reported to the

supplier and shipper immediately.

DVF INSTALL MANUAL PAGE 11

2.3 Exhaust Pipe System

The DVF System must be installed where provisions do not exist for the ducting of combustion products to the outside. The direct vent connector shall not pass through any floor or ceiling. The burner exhaust must be ducted directly to the vent hood through listed exhaust pipes provided. The exhaust pipe throughout it's entire length must be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning and replacement.

The venting system should be installed and supported in accordance with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1, CAN/CGA B149 or in accordance with any local codes.

The Exhaust Kit consists of:

1 - 6” to 4” Boiler Adapter

DVF System

1 - 4” x 36” vent pipe

2 - 4” 90 degree elbows 1 - 4” x 18” vent pipe adjustable extension

1 - 4” x 24” vent pipe 1 - 5” Concentric exhaust

Installation of DVF Exhaust:

1. Begin by locating a suitable location for the exhaust to breech the wall. This location should be at least 12” above ground level or the expected snow level, and on the leeward side of the house.

Consult page 6 for required distances from windows, doors, etc.. The hood location must also

allow for a upward slope of a 1/4” per foot for the exhaust piping.

2. Once the hood location has been determined, cut a 8” hole for a non combustible wall, or a 9” hole for a combustible wall. Using 2” X 2”, Frame a box around the hole on the outside of the house so the flange is mounted away from the siding. Attach the hood to the outside of the house using appropriate screws to support the hood. Use one screw through each of the predrilled holes on the trim plate of the hood. Do not drill or screw through the hood at all.

3. Once the hood is secure, mock up the rest of the vent kit. Start by fitting the boiler adapter onto the boiler and securing it in place with the locking band on the adapter. Install the rest of the vent sections that are required to complete your job. Connect the next piece of pipe by pushing the female end of the pipe over the male end of the boiler adapter. Once the pipe is fully seated, twist the female end clockwise until the locking mechanism is engaged. Do not screw into the pipe or add sealant to the pipe as this could compromise the factory seal. Continue in this way until the entire kit is complete from the boiler to the vent hood. It is allowable to add extra sections of pipe to the vent kit up to 20’. Each 90 degree elbow is 3 equivalent feet and each 45 degree elbow is 1.5 equivalent feet.

4. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the exhaust, make sure that the vent pipe is properly supported every three feet with a upward slope to the hood of 1/4” every foot.

PAGE 12 DVF INSTALL MANUAL

2.4 Installation of Make-up Combustion Air

For DVF kits:

NOTICE

Do not operate the burner with air intake disconnected.

4. Use 4 inch diameter flex pipe that is provided in the kit or a comparable single wall metal pipe. The maximum allowable length of intake pipe is twenty feet not including elbows.

5. Begin installing the 4” tee to the burner (Riello requires the supplied 3” to 4” increaser to be installed first). Secure all joints on the intake with three screws each.

6. Install the supplied vacuum relief damper in the branch of the tee making sure that it is mounted with all labeling right side up and perfectly horizontal.

7. In the last run leg of the tee install the aluminum flex pipe.

8. Finally attach the other end of the flex pipe to the intake port on the concentric hood.

9. Inspect the intake system and make sure all connections are secure and then seal each joint with silicone or aluminum tape.

3. Burner Setup Guidelines

In all boilers, regardless of fuel being burnt or configuration, a 10” X 10” Cerafiber pad should be installed under the flame. This pad is not for acoustic purposes, it is to keep the area under the nozzle warm to prevent flame out.

Good, reliable operation with a minimum of service, starts with attention to the small details:

Oil:

1. Setting the nozzle position and electrodes "by the book" using the manufacturer's guide lines.

2. Installing a quality micron filter before the burner

3. Making careful/tight flare connections, without couplings, on oil suction line.

4. Checking fuel pump pressure is set to specs on following page.

5. Setting the air band properly with well maintained instruments. A good target is 11% to

12.5% of (CO

2

) or 6.5% to 3.8% of (O

2

) with a zero smoke.

To ensure proper burner setup, gauges should be used to check things such as the pump pressure,

CO

2

levels, etc…

Gas:

1. Checking the electrode, orifice size, and flame rod settings against manufacturer’s specs to insure proper operation.

2. Installing properly sized gas piping according to BTU input required and length of gas line run.

3. Making sure there is proper manifold pressure before and after the gas valve using a calibrated manometer.

4. Setting the air band properly with well maintained instruments. A good target is 9.0% to

9.5% of (CO

2

) or 5% to 3.5% of (O

2

) for natural gas, or 10.0% to 11.0% of (CO

2

) or 5% to

3.5% of (O

2

) for LP gas. CO readings should always be less than 100 ppm.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier

WARNING

: If installed as a direct vent boiler, make sure after service that both the vent intake and exhaust are both properly reinstalled and sealed.

This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

A)

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

· Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in you r building

· Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

· If you can not reach your gas supplier call the fire department

B) 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1)

STOP!

Read the safety information above .

2) Set thermostat to lowest setting

3) Turn off all electric power to the appliance

4) Do not attempt to light the burner by hand

5) Smell for gas, including near the floor

. If you smell gas, STOP!

Follow “B” in the safety

information above on this label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

6) Turn on all electric power to the appliance.

7) Set thermostat to the desired setting.

8) Once the system is lit, inspect the entire installation.

9) Make sure the pressure in the boiler is stable.

10) Test both high limits by lowering their set points below the temperature of the boiler one at a time. If either aquastat fails to shut the burner down replace it immediately.

11) Simulate a loss of fuel by shutting the oil valve. Once the valve is closed the burner should go into post –purge and then lockout.

12) Reset the burner before turning the oil back on to simulate ignition failure. After ignition failure the burner should go through a purge period and then lookout.

13) Open the oil valve and return the burner to operation. While the burner is running, trip the breaker at the panel, that should disable the burner and all other heating controls.

14) Once it is determined that the system is operating properly, proceed to tuning up the burner using the proper instruments. If you do not have any instruments, do not place this unit in operation until you have a competent burner technician tune up the burner.

DVF INSTALL MANUAL PAGE 21

6. Installation Inspection

Recommended procedures for safety inspection of an appliance should be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The following procedure will help evaluate the venting system. It is intended as a guide to aid in determining that the venting system is properly installed and is in a safe condition for continuous use. This procedure should be recognized as a generalized procedure which cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases, deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment. If it is determined that a condition exists which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Corrections must be made before the appliance is put into continuous operation. The following steps should be followed in making a safety inspection.

1. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and determine that there is no

flue gas spillage, blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiency which could cause an unsafe operation.

2. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions and adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.

3. Determine that the burner is operating properly and that the burner ignition operates satisfactorily by interrupting and re-establishing the electrical power of the appliance in any convenient manner. Test the burner safety device to determine if it is operating properly by disconnecting the flame safety circuit.

4. Test for smoke spillage at the burner inlet air location around the VRV after 5 minutes of operation. Use a draft gauge, flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe. Shut off appliance thermostat and check for spillage around the VRV. If a flow reversal is noticed, house depressurization is occurring and make up air is required.

Once installation is complete, check the boiler with instruments to ensure that it is working properly.

PAGE 22 DVF INSTALL MANUAL

7. Service & Maintenance

In order to ensure that the boiler is operating properly, it should be inspected annually at the beginning of the heating season by a qualified service technician. Failure to do regular maintenance on the boiler, could result in a loss of system efficiency as well as equipment failure.

1) Turn off all electrical power to the boiler before servicing any part of the boiler.

2) During the inspection process, the technician should inspect and correct problems that the owner has noted.

3) Check the area around the boiler to ensure that no combustibles are in the area.

4) Remove any obstruction from the ventilation and combustion air openings to the boiler room. Check to ensure that the openings are open.

5) Check the boiler vent discharge and air intake to ensure that they are unobstructed. If obstructions exist, remove.

6) Visually check the entire flue gas venting system for blockages, deteriorations and leakages. Repair any problems that are found in accordance with local or national codes. ( Failure to repair leakages can result with CO (Carbon Monoxide) Poising which can lead to death.)

7) Disconnect vent pipe from the breeching and remove front upper and lower door.

Use a light to inspect the boiler heating surfaces. If signs of soot are showing, clean boiler heating surfaces with a wire brush and vacuum any debris in the boiler.

8) Reconnect the vent pipe to the breeching. Put silicon back onto the joint and tighten the clamps before re-commissioning the boiler.

9) With the power to the boiler still off, remove the burner and follow manufactures instructions for cleaning.

10) Before putting burner back onto the boiler, check the insulation on the door. If the insulation is damaged or displaced, do not operate the boiler until the insulation has been repaired or replaced. (Failure to replace damaged insulation can result in a fire hazard and can cause personal injury or death, and can cause substantial property damage.)

11) Return the boiler to normal operation and check all controls before leaving the job.
