4INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSThe installation must conform to the requirements of theauthority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of suchrequirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1latest edition.This installation must also conform to the additional requirements in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATIONProvide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Locationshould be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall sothat the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See Appendix A for vent terminal location restrictions.) The locationshould also be such that all boiler components are protectedfrom water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during applianceoperation and service (circulator replacement, controlreplacement, etc.).WARNINGLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIREDBOILER LOCATIONREQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTIONLiquefied Petroleum (L.P.) propane gas is heavier than air.Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves should NOT beinstalled in locations where propane leaking from defectiveequipment and piping will "pool" in a basement or otherspace below the leak.VICTORY VSP ModelsMINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLECONSTRUCTIONSA. Minimum clearances to the exterior surfaces of the boilershall be as follows:MINIMUM ALCOVE AND CLOSET CLEARANCESurfaceFrontRearLeft SideRight SideTopFlue Connector:Enclosed —Uninclosed —For CombustibleConstruction6"6"6"12"12"Recommendedfor Service18"18"18"24"12"6"2"6"6"B.

Thismay result in increased values of some minimum clearances in order to maintain the minimum clearances ofothers.D. Clearance from hot water pipes shall be 1 inch**.** At points where hot water pipes emerge from a floor, wall or ceiling,the clearance at the opening through the finished floor boards or wallor ceiling boards may be not less than 1/2 inch. Each such openingshall be covered with a plate of uncombustible material.A spark or flame from the boiler or other source may ignitethe accumulated propane gas causing an explosion or fire.Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Locationshould be as near the chimney as possible so that the fluepipe from boiler to chimney is short and direct.The UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE may be in effect inyour geographic area.The following precautions are cited by the 1994 UNIFORMMECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6:"LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-burningappliances shall not be installed in a pit, basement orsimilar location where heavier-than-air-gas might collect.Appliances so fueled shall not be installed in an abovegrade under-floor space or basement unless such location is provided with an approved means for removal ofunburned gas."Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM MECHANICALCODE for design criteria of the "approved" means forremoval of unburned gas.*6"2"12"6"2"*6"12"*: 6" FOR ENCLOSEDBOILER FOUNDATIONA.

5VICTORY VSP ModelsVENTING APPLICATIONVSP Series are sealed combustion type boilers, they maybeinstalled and vented either as direct vent boiler which all air forcombustion is obtained directly from outside or as non-directvent boiler which air for combustion is taken from inside theboiler room.VSP boilers must be vented by proper 3" diameter. StainlessSteal venting system (see “vent material” on this page) throughthe roof or sidewall.BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATIONAn ample supply of air is required for combustion and ventilation. When buildings are insulated, caulked and weatherstripped, now or later on, direct openings to outside may berequired and should be provided. If the boiler is not near anoutside wall, air may be ducted to it from outside wall openings.Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made inaccordance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition, or applicable provisions of the local building codes. Thefollowing recommendation applies to buildings of energy-savingconstruction, fully caulked and weatherstripped.INSTALLATION IN ENCLOSED BOILER ROOM REQUIRESTWO UNOBSTRUCTED OPENINGS FOR PASSAGE OF AIRINTO THE BOILER ROOM:A. NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION1. Air drawn horizontally from outdoors DIRECTLYthrough an outside wall; one louvered opening near thefloor and one louvered opening near the ceiling, each opening with a minimum FREE air passage area of 1 squareinch per 4000 Btuh of total appliances’ input.2. Air drawn horizontally through HORIZONTAL DUCTS;one opening near the floor and one opening near the ceiling, each opening with a minimum FREE air passage areaof 1 square inch per 2000 Btuh of total appliances’ input.3. Air drawn VERTICALLY from outdoors; one opening atthe floor and one opening at the ceiling, each opening witha minimum FREE air passage area of 1 square inch per4000 Btuh of total appliances’ input.4. Air drawn from inside the building; one opening nearthe floor and one opening near the ceiling, each openingwith a minimum FREE air passage area of 1 square inchper 1000 Btuh of total appliances’ input.If additional non-direct vent appliances are installed in the samespace and adequate air openings are provided for them, thereare no additional air openings required for the VSP boiler.For both direct and non-direct installation, the following must beconsidered:- Openings must never be reduced or closed. If doors orwindows are used for air supply, they must be locked open.- Protect against closure of openings by snow and debris.Inspect frequently.- No mechanical draft exhaust or supply fans are to beused in or near the boiler area.- Boiler area must never be under negative pressure. Theflow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler mustnot be obstructed.FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTSThe Victory VSP series boiler is a high efficiency, mechanicallyinduced draft boiler and, therefore, requires different ventingarrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency boilers.THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLYREAD AND FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATIONOF THE AIR INTAKE AND FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEM.The vent piping installation MUST be in accordance with theseinstructions and with ANSI Z223.1-latest edition NATIONALFUEL GAS CODE, Part 7, Venting of Equipment. Other localcodes may also apply and must be followed. Where there is aconflict between these requirements, the more stringent caseshall apply.The use of a vent damper is NOT permitted on this boiler series.VENT MATERIALThe vent system for direct or non-direct vent installation must beUL listed single wall 3” diameter AL29-4C* stainless steel material. The following manufacturers’ systems are approved for usewithin a specified minimum and maximum equivalent vent lengthfor each model.

6When joining the various components of the above listedvent systems, the manufacturers’ instructions should beclosely followed to insure proper sealing. Use sealant specified by vent system manufacturer for sealing of pipe and fittings. See Figure 4 for proper application of vent pipe sealingfor Saf-T vent system by Heat-Fab, Inc. All vent connectionsmust be liquid and pressure tight. Flue vent system CANNOTbe cut to length. Consult manufacturer’s instructions. For HeatFab system, use slip joint connector to adjust pipe lengthsdimensions.DO NOT use plastic or galvanized flue pipe.VICTORY VSP ModelsEXAMPLE: Boiler model VSP-180 is to be installed at sealevel. The combustion air is provided by air intake pipingdirectly to the boiler (direct-vent installation). Flue pipingincludes 2 elbows and using Heat-Fab system. Air intake isPVC and includes 3 elbows.Maximum straight flue length would be 30-2x3 24 feet.Maximum straight air intake pipe would be 40-3x5 25 feet.If the air for combustion were taken from the boiler room(non-direct vent installation), still the maximum straight fluelength would be 24 feet.6.All Victory VSP boilers are equipped with a built-incondensation drain and trap. The trap loop must befilled with water. DO NOT operate the boiler withoutfilling the trap with water to prevent flue gas dischargeinto space. The drain should extend to a floor drain orto a container which may require emptying periodically.7.The horizontal vent pipe must be sloped upward fromthe boiler at a pitch of at least 1 4" per 1 foot of run, sothat the condensate from the vent system runs to thedrain trap.8.The horizontal vent pipes must be supported with pipestraps at intervals no greater than indicated by ventpipe manufacturer’s instructions. The vertical portionvent pipe also must be supported per manufacturer’sinstructions. Support air intake piping in the samemanner as the vent pipes.9.Minimum clearances of vent pipes from combustibleconstructions must be maintained (see Page 4). Maintain minimum 1" clearance between vent pipes andPVC air intake pipes.10.Common venting with other appliances or another VSPboiler is not allowed.11.DO NOT install a vent damper or similar devices invent system or on the boiler.12.Do not insulate venting system.Figure: 4 Vent Sealing Instructions(Consult vent manufacturer’s instructions.)AIR INTAKE PIPE MATERIAL3” PVC Schedule 40 or galvanized steel materials are recommended.All joints must be sealed using appropriate sealants.FLUE AND AIR INTAKE RESTRICTIONS1. Maximum allowed equivalent flue and air intake length fordifferent flue systems at different altitudes are given in thetables on page 7.2. Equivalent of flue or air intake length is sum of thestraight pipe lengths and equivalent length of elbows asshown in the table on this page.3. The vent termination is in addition to the allowed equivalent lengths.4. Minimum flue length is 2 feet.5.
