Precautions Check
discharge location.
If the boiler is likely to be exposed to fluid temperatures below 34° F (1° C), a method of protection
to prevent freezing of condensate should be employed. Contact the factory for further information.
□
When the boiler is in operation, assess the impact of the steam plume normally at the exhaust
terminal of a condensing boiler.
Generally, intake and exhaust pipes should terminate at a rooftop or sterile wall location. Boiler
condensate is corrosive. Protective measures must be taken to prevent corrosion damage to metal
roofs or other metal building components in contact with the condensate. Keep exhaust plumes
well away from all building air intakes including those of neighboring properties.
□
Caution
Care must be taken to properly size the boiler for its intended use. Prolonged full fire run time,
over-sizing or under-sizing, and incorrect flow rates through the boiler can lead to increased
maintenance costs, equipment stress and premature failure.
