The field provided vent fittings must be cemented to the CPVC pipe section. Use only the vent materials, primer and cement specified in this manual to make the vent connections. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death. Closet and alcove installations A closet is any room the boiler is installed in which is less than 67 cubic feet for KBN081 and KBN106 models, 86 cubic feet for KBN151 models, 107 cubic feet for KBN211 models, and 120 cubic feet for KBN286 models. An alcove is any room which meets the criteria for a closet with the exception that it does not have a door. Example: Room dimensions = 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 8 foot ceiling = 4 x 3 x 8 = 96 cubic feet. This would be considered a closet for a Knight Boiler. WARNING For closet and alcove installations as shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2, CPVC or stainless steel vent material must be used inside the structure. The ventilating air openings shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 are required for this arrangement. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death. Provide clearances: Clearances from combustible materials 1. Hot water pipes—at least 1/4" (6 mm) from combustible materials. 2. Vent pipe – at least 1" (25 mm) from combustible materials. 3. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 9 for other clearance minimums. Clearances for service access 1. See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 9 for recommended service clearances. If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown, it may not be possible to service the boiler without removing it from the space.

Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death. Installation & Operation Manual 1 Determine boiler location Provide air openings to room: Knight boiler alone in boiler room 1. No air ventilation openings into the boiler room are needed when clearances around the Knight boiler are at least equal to the SERVICE clearances shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2. For spaces that do NOT supply this clearance, provide two openings as shown in FIG. 1-1. Each opening must provide one square inch free area per 1,000 Btu/hr of boiler input. Knight boiler in same space with other gas or oil- fired appliances 1. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) or CSA B149.1 (Canada) to size/verify size of the combustion/ventilation air openings into the space. WARNING The space must be provided with combustion/ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the same space as the Knight boiler. Do not install the boiler in an attic. Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage. 2. Size openings only on the basis of the other appliances in the space. No additional air opening free area is needed for the Knight boiler because it takes its combustion air from outside (direct vent installation). Flooring and foundation Flooring The Knight boiler is approved for installation on combustible flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting. Do not install the boiler on carpeting even if foundation is used. Fire can result, causing severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage. WARNING If flooding is possible, elevate the boiler sufficiently to prevent water from reaching the boiler. 10 Residential garage installation Precautions Take the following precautions when installing the appliance in a residential garage. If the appliance is located in a residential garage, it should be installed in compliance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code. • Appliances located in residential garages and in adjacent spaces that open to the garage and are not part of the living space of a dwelling shall be installed so that all burners and bu...
