Section II: Pre-Installation Items
2.1 Code Compliance
The CHALLENGER is certified to the oiler Standard (ANSI
Z21.13/CSA 4.9) and the Water Heater Standard (ANSI Z21.10/CSA
4.3).
Due to the CHALLENGER’s unique heat exchanger design which
incorporates two independent copper water tube coils; one for space
heating and the other for domestic hot water, the CHALLENGER can
be installed as a oiler, Water Heater, or both. The unused system
does not have to be connected or filled. Parameter 1 (Installation
Type) will need to be set accordingly (0 = Heat and DHW, 2 = DHW
only and 3 = Heat only). See Setting the Appliance Parameters,
Section 12.11.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the latest edition
of following:
All applicable local, state, national, and provincial codes,•
ordinances, regulations, and laws.
For installations in Massachusetts, code requires the appliance to•
be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter, and if antifreeze is
utilized, the installation of a reduced pressure backflow preventer
device is required in the boiler’s cold water fill or make up water
supply line.
For installations in Massachusetts, all direct vented appliances•
must comply with the guidelines outlined in Section 3.5.
Massachusetts Plumbing oard Product Approval Code # is CI-•
0111-219 for the CHALLENGER.
The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1).•
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).•
For installations in Canada - Installation Code for Gas urning•
Equipment (CAN/CSA 149.1) & Canadian Electrical Code Part 1
(CSA C22.1).
Standards for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically•
Fired oilers (ANSI/ASME CSD-1) when required.
The CHA ENGER gas manifold and gas controls meet
the safe lighting and other performance requirements
as specified in ANSI Z21.13.
NOTICE
2.2 Determining Product Location
efore locating the CHALLENGER, check for convenient locations to:
Heating system piping•
Domestic water supply piping•
Venting•
Gas supply piping•
Electrical service•
Ensure the appliance location allows the combustion air and vent
piping to be routed directly through the building and terminate
properly in the same pressure zone outside with a minimum amount
of length and bends.
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of the CHALLENGER is free
of any combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids.
Failure to remove or maintain the area free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable liquids
or vapors can result in substantial property damage, se-
rious injury, or death.
Ensure the CHALLENGER and its controls are protected from dripping
or spraying water during normal operation or service.
The CHALLENGER should be installed in a location so that any water
leaking from the appliance, piping connections or relief valve will not
cause damage to the surrounding area or any lower floors in the
structure. When such a location cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be
installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion
air flow.
2.3 Boiler and/or Water Heater Replacement
If the CHALLENGER is replacing an existing boiler and/or water
heater, the following items should be checked and corrected prior to
installation:
oiler and domestic piping leaks and corrosion.•
Proper location and sizing of the expansion tank on the boiler•
heating loop. Proper location and sizing of the thermal expansion
tank (if used) on the domestic supply line.
Vent condition.•
Amount and quality of propylene glycol, if applicable.•
