WARNING

If the information in this manual is not

followed exactly, a re or explosion may

result causing property damage, personal

injury or loss of life.

Do not store or use gasoline or other

ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not

use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a

nearby phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call

the re department.

Installation and service must be performed

by a qualied installer, service agency, or gas

supplier.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: This product must be installed and serviced by a professional service technician,

qualied in hot water boiler and heater installation and maintenance. Improper installation and/or operation

could create carbon monoxide gas in ue gases which could cause serious injury, property damage, or

death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty.

AVERTISSEMENT

Assurez-vous de bien suivres les instructions

données dans cette notice pour réduire au

minimum le risque d’incendie ou d’explosion

ou pour éviter tout dommage matériel, toute

blessure ou la mort.

Ne pas entreposer ni utiliser d’essence ou ni

d’autres vapeurs ou liquides inammables dans

le à proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre

appareil.

QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE

GAZ:

• Ne pas tenter d’allumer d’appareils.

• Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur. Ne pas vous servir

des téléphones dans le bâtiment où vous vous

trovez.

• Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de

gaz depuis un voisin. Suivez les instructions

du fournisseur.

• Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur de

gaz, appelez le sservice des incendies.

L’installation et l’entretien doivent être assurés par

un installateur ou un service d’entretien qualié

ou par le fournisseur de gaz.

FT Series ‘Heating Only’ Boiler

WARNING

Do not use FT Series units on common vents. Each unit must have its own supply and exhaust vents.

SECTION 1 General Information.

1.A General Plumbing Connection Guidelines

• Pipe material must be suitable to meet local codes and industry standards.

• The pipe must be cleaned and without blemish before any connections are made.

• Do not apply a torch within 12˝ of the bottom connections of the boiler. Doing so could damage the

boiler. Such damages ARE NOT covered by product warranty.

• Isolation (shutoff valves) should be used to ease future service.

• All piping should be insulated.

• Pump speeds in Table 1 refer to the internal boiler pump.

Multiple FT Series boilers can be connected via a cascade communication cable to create a bank

of boilers that work in tandem. Up to 20 boilers can be controlled by a “Leader” FT Series boiler

with the others acting as “Followers”. All cascaded boilers must be the same model and size.

1.B Pipe Sizing for system and common supply & return headers in Cascade Systems

Use piping diameters as per Tables 1 - 3 based on your maximum design delta T. Non-adherence to these sizing guidelines

may result in premature boiler failure and resulting problems are NOT covered by product warranty.

CAUTION

Use both thread tape and pipe dope to connect to the 1¼˝ or 1½" CH supply and return.

Notes: For FT Floor boilers, use 1-1/4" near boiler piping with a combined equivalent length not to

exceed 15 ft to the supply & return headers. Use 1-1/2" piping for longer runs.

Refer to page 8 of the FT Floor Installation and Operating Manual to set the internal valves as

follows for cascade operation: V1 and V3: closed,V2 open. (See next page)

An optional purge station is not needed for FT Floor models if the system piping is

above the boilers.

FT Piping Manifolds should NOT be utilized in wall-mounted multi-boiler cascade systems.

Factory default valve position:

For cascade operation with boiler pump:

Close V1 and V3. Open V2.

CH Supply

CH Return

Combustion Air Vent

GAS INPUT

The oor standing models have a built in low

loss header.

The boiler circulation pump circulates the CH water

in the boilers contained loop from heat exchanger

to the low loss header (LLH) and back. The

heating system pump or individual zone pumps

are required to pull heated water from CH supply

connection and return water to the CH return

connection.

Max Amp draw per pump = 1.6 Amps.
