INSTALLATION
2.4 Installation premises
RTC boilers must be installed in a dedicated boiler room that con-
forms to applicable laws and standards. The boiler room must
have adequately sized vents that also conform to applicable laws
and standards.
Ambient temperature must be between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and
60°C).
All boiler models, with the exception of the RTC 8000 and RTC
10000, must be installed at a height of at least 4" from the oor
to permit the necessary pipes and valves to be connected to the
boiler drain and condensate drain.
If at all possible, the boiler should be installed on a raised base
to prevent the burner fan from drawing in dust and to facilitate
draining of condensate to a neutralization system. The boiler base
must be at and levelled.
The boiler condensate drain must be located above the height of
the lid of the system’s condensate neutralizer.
The gas supply pipe should be installed in such away that the boil-
er’s paneling can be removed and the front door opened without
having to remove the burner.

When installing the boiler, allow sufcient space around it to

These boilers must be installed indoors. They are not designed
for outside use.

Do not obstruct or restrict the air vents in the room where
the boiler is installed. A free air supply is essential for correct
combustion.
