surface but must NEVER be installed on carpeting. Gas fueled equipment installed in enclosed parking garages must be
located at least 18 inches above the floor.
Stacking
Hi Delta units can be stacked two units high with an optional stacking rack. Astacking kit is available from Raypak for this
type of installation.
CAUTION:
The boiler should be located in an area where water leakage will not result in damage to the
area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance.
The pan must not restrict air flow.
In addition, the boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation or service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

When installed according to the listed minimum clearances from combustible construction mate-
rials, the Raypak heaters can still be serviced without removing permanent structural construc-
tion around the heater.
However, for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24” in front, and at least
18” on the water connection side. This will enable the heater to be serviced in its installed
location, that is, without movement or removal of the heater.
Clearances less than minimum, may require removal of the heater to service either the heat
exchanger or the burner tray. In either case, the heater must be installed in a manner that will
enable the heater to be serviced without removing any structure around the heater.

OUTDOORINSTALLATIONS
Raypak Hi Delta Boilers are design certified for outdoor installation. Boilers must not be installed under an
overhang that is less than three (3) feet from the top of the boiler. Three (3) sides must be open in the area
under the overhang. Roof water drainage must be diverted away from boilers installed under overhangs.

SECTION C: COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
COMBUSTIONAND VENTILATIONAIR (Indoor Units)
The boiler must be supplied with sufficient quantities of non-contaminated air to support proper combustion and equipment
ventilation. Combustion air can be supplied via conventional venting, where combustion air is drawn from the area immedi-
ately surrounding the boiler, or via direct vent, where combustion air is drawn directly from outside. All installations must
comply with the requirements of NFGC for U.S., CAN/CGA B 149.1 and .2 for Canada, and all local codes.
CAUTION:
NOTICE:
Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the boiler
and void the warranty. See appendix A.
It is recommended that the intake vent be insulated to minimize sweating.
DIRECT VENT-INSTALLATON
If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly to the unit for combustion:
1. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance with Section J-3 and Section J-4 of this manual.
2. Provide adequate ventilation.
3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed
damper to prevent the circulation of cold air through the boiler during the non-operating hours.
CONVENTIONALCOMBUSTIONAIR SUPPLY (FOR U.S. INSTALLATION ONLY)
(a) All Air from Inside the Building. The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings communicating
directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an
unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space shall be considered in
making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour (22 cm2 per
kW) of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches
(645 cm2). One opening shall commence within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top, and one opening shall commence within 12 inches
(30 cm) of the bottom, of the enclosure. The minimum dimension of air openings shall be not less than 3 inches (8 cm).

WARNING:
Do not use one permanent opening method if the equipment room is under negative
pressure condition or the equipment is common vented with other gas-fired appliances.
11
COMBUSTIONAND VENTILATIONAIR SUPPLY (FOR CANADA INSTALLATION)
CAUTION:
All combustion air has to be drawn from the air outside the building (the mechanical equipment
room directly communicates with the outdoors).
1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the boiler shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest
practical point communicating with outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of such an opening(s) shall be at
least 10% of the area required in (2) and (3), but in no case shall the cross-sectional area be less than10 square
inches (6500 square mm).
2. For boilers using a barometric damper in the vent system, and when air supply is provided by natural air flow from
the outdoors for natural draft, partial fan assisted, fan-assisted or power draft-assisted burners, there shall be a
permanent air supply opening(s) having a cross section area of not less than 1 sq. in. per 7000 BTUH
(310 sq. mm per kW) up to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 sq. in. per 14000 BTUH (155 sq. mm per kW) in
excess of 1 million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either located at or ducted to a point neither more than 18
inches (450 mm) nor less than 6 inches (150 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also "Goose Neck" through
the roof. The duct is preferred straight down 18" from floor, but do not place near piping. This air supply opening
requirement shall be in addition to the air opening for ventilation air required in (1).
3. For boilers not using a barometric damper in the ventsystem, and when air supply is provided by natural air flow
from outdoors for a power burner and there is no draft regulator, draft hood or similar flue gas dilution device
installed in the same space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air required in (1), there shall be a permanent
air supply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area of not less than 1 sq. in. for each 30,000 BTUH
(70 sq. mm per kW) of total rated input of the burner(s), and the location of the opening(s) shall not interfere with
the intended purpose of the opening(s) for ventilation air referred to (1). This opening(s) can be ducted to a point
neither more than 18 inches (450 mm) nor less than 6 inches (150 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also
"Goose Neck" through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18” from floor, but do not place near
piping.
4. Refer to the latest version of the CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2 for additional information.
12
SECTION D: WATER PIPING - GENERAL
The boiler should be located so that any water leaks will not cause damage to the adjacent area or structures.
CAUTION:
This boiler requires forced water circulation when the burner is operating. See Table D-1 for
minimum and maximum flow rates and water pump selection. The pump must be interlocked with the
boiler toprevent boiler operation without water circulation.
RELIEFVALVE PIPING
WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near the floor close to a floor drain to eliminate
the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to local
codes.
HYDROSTATIC TEST
Unlike many other types of boilers, Raypak boilers do not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The
heat exchanger has already been factory-tested and is rated for 150 PSI operating pressure. However, Raypak does recom-
mend hydrostatically testing the piping connections to the boiler and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is
particularly true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol-based antifreeze. Raypak recommends conducting the hydro-
static test before connecting gas piping or electrical supply.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to the boiler. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak compounds.
1. Connect fill water supply. Fill boiler with water (be sure bleed valve is open). When water flows from bleed
valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve. Carefully fill the rest of the system, being sure to eliminate any entrapped air
by using high point vents. Close feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for at least 24 hours.
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been maintained throughout test.
3. Check for leaks. Repair if found.
LOWTEMPERATURE SYSTEM
Boiler requires minimum inlet temperature of 105°F. Consult sections E, F for piping details.
TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE GAUGE
The temperature and pressure gauge is factory-mounted in the inlet/outlet header.
13
SECTION E: HYDRONIC HEATING PIPING
PUMP SELECTION
In order to insure proper performance of your boiler system, you must install a properly sized pump. Raypak recommends
using a 20°F Delta T as design Delta T. (Delta T is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water when the
boiler is firing at full rate). If a Delta T larger than 20°F is necessary, see Table D-1 for minimum flow rate requirements.
PRESSURE DROP IN FEET OF HEAD
FEEDWATER REGULATOR
Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be installed and set at 12 PSIG minimum pressure at the highest point of
system. Install a check valve or back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a manual shut off valve as required by local
codes.
PIPING - HEATING BOILERS
All high points should be vented. Purge valves and a bypass valve should be installed. A boiler installed above radiation
level must be provided with a low water cutoff device. The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must
be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium
from entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may
be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recommended that the piping be insulated.
AIR-SEPARATION/EXPANSION TANK
All boilers should be equipped with a properly sized expansion tank and air separator fitting as shown in the following
diagrams.
THREE-WAYVALVES
Valves designed to blend water temperatures or reduce water circulation through the boiler should not be used. Raypak
heaters are high recovery low mass heaters not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a full line of electric sequencers that
produce direct reset of boiler water temperature. Refer to the Controls Section in our Complete Catalog.

POTABLE WATERAND SPACE HEATINGAPPLICATION
CAUTION:
When this heater is used for both -potable water and space heating- follow the steps below
to insure proper operation.
A. All piping materials and components connected to the water heater for the space heating application
shall be suitable for use with potable water.
B. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used
for space heating.
C. If the water heater will be used to supply potable water, it shall not be connected to any heating system
or components previously used with a nonpotable water heating appliance.
D. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than 140°F, a means such as a
mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water in order to reduce scald hazard potential.

SECTION G: POOL HEATING
CAUTIO
CAUTION:
Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire
without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled
flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the heater. Follow these instructions to
make sure your heater is properly installed.
The Hi-Delta pool heater is equipped with an external pump and bypass arrangement that blends outlet water with the inlet
to increase the inlet water temperature, thereby reducing the likelihood of condensation forming on the heat exchanger. The
pump also serves to circulate water through the heater form the main system piping.
To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool thermostat needs to be installed in the main return water line. This
will insure that the heater will be energized at the right time. If the main water line is too far away from the heater and the
capillary bulb will not reach it, locate the pool thermostat adjacent to the main line and run wires back to the heater. See Figure
#9225.
Adjustment of the bypass valve is critical to proper operation of the heater. The bypass valve should be adjusted to achieve
an inlet water temperature of 100°F and an outlet water temperature between 120°F and 140°F. When starting with a cold pool,
make initial adjustments. Make final adjustments when pool water approaches desired temperature.
H BYPASS
17
AUTOMATIC CHLORINATORSAND CHEMICALFEEDERS
All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted into the pool or spa water before being circulated through the
heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when the
pump is not running (i.e. overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical backup into the
heater when the pump is shut off.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very rapid
corrosion to the heat exchanger in the heater. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.
WINTERIZINGYOUR HEATER
When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas are to be shut down for the winter, please observe the following
step-by-step procedure:
1. Turn off manual main gas and main gas shut off. Remove the drain plug or open the drain cock located on the
bottom header.
SPAWATER CHEMISTRY
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water
pH between 7.4 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between 100 and 150 p.p.m. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the
water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and also damaging the
heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely damaged.
NOTE: Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered under the warranty.

SECTION H: GAS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
DANGER:
Make sure the gas on which the boiler will operate is the same type as specified on the boiler
model and rating plate.
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the boiler gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater
jacket. A pounds to inches regulator must be installed to reduce to gas supply pressure to under 14" W.C. The regulator
should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the boiler gas controls. All gas piping must
be tested after installation in accordance with local codes. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak-tested before
placing it in operation.
Fig. #9226.1
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
CAUTION:
The boiler and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure
testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45 KPA). The boiler must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG. Relieve test
pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the boiler and its manual shut off valve to the gas
supply line. FAILURETO FOLLOWTHIS PROCEDURE MAYDAMAGETHE GASVALVES. Over
pressurized gas valves are not covered by warranty. The boiler and its gas connections shall be leak tested
before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test: DO NOT use open flame.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A pipe compound rated for use with gas systems is
recommended. Apply sparingly only on male pipe ends.
Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the boiler or its accessories. Ensure the gas piping is
protected from physical damage and freezing where required.
GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE
Aminimum of 7” W.C. and a maximum of 14” W.C. upstream gas pressure is required under load and no load conditions for
natural gas. A minimum of 12” W.C. and a maximum of 14” W.C. is required for propane gas. The gas pressure regulator
supplied on the boiler is for low pressure service. If upstream pressure exceeds 14" W.C, an intermediate gas pressure
regulator, of the lockup type, must be installed.
When connecting additional gas utilization equipment to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be checked to
determine if it has adequate capacity.
19
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The gas valve pressure regulator(s) on the boiler are nominally preset at 3.5" W.C. for Natural gas, and 10.5" W.C. for Propane
gas manifold pressure. The pressure at the gas valve outlet tap, measured with a manometer,while in operation should be 3.5
± 0.1" W.C. for Natural gas and 10.5" ± 0.1" W.C. for Propane gas. If an adjustment is needed, turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to lower pressure.

CAUTION:
DANGER
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
-SHOCKHAZARD
Make sure electrical power to the heater is disconnected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to
components.
Installer action is required to electrically enable your Hi-Delta boiler to operate after making the power conections. You must
make a connection on Terminal Block #3 for temperature control connections. This will be done based on the controller
option selected with your boiler order.
1. For Pool and Closed Loop Water Source Heat Pump applications, your boiler should be configured to operate in an ON/
OFF firing mode. This means that you will connect a single-pole control to stage one of TB-3 (Terminals 1&2). Then jumper
the remaining firing stages. For example, if your boiler is a 652, you will jumper stage two. Then your boiler will either be on
at full fire, or it will be off.
2. For multi-stage controller connections, connect each stage of the control to the corresponding stage of TB-3 in the
boiler. Stage 1 of the boiler to stage 1 of the control. Stage 2 of the boiler to stage 2 of the control, and so on.
Set the operating control at the setpoint in which you want the boiler to maintain. Ensure that the sensing bulb of the control
is at the point in the system that will best maintain the temperature you want. For example, when you are heating a tank of
water, you want the operating control sensor bulb in the tank.
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the boiler in the instruction packet. The "TH" leads are for the remote tank control
through the boilers 24 volt transformer. DO NOT attach line voltage to the "TH" leads. Before starting boiler check to insure
proper voltage to boiler and pump.

• Natural Draft Vertical Venting System Installation
Natural draft venting uses the natural buoyancy of the heated flue products to create a thermal driving head that expels the
exhaust gases from the flue. The negative draft must be within the range of -.01” to -.10” negative W.C. as measured 12 inches
from the appliance flue outlet to insure proper operation. Vent material must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency.
The maximum and minimum venting length for Category I appliance shall be determined per the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) or B149.1 and .2 Installation Code (Canada).
The diameter of vent flue pipe should be sized according to Part 11 of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.)
and part 7 and appendix B of the CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2 installation code (Canada). The minimum flue pipe diameter for
conventional negative draft venting using double-wall B type vent is 5” for 302, 6” for 402 & 502 and 8" 652, 752 & 902.
NOTICE:
Vent Adapter will have to be used to connect B vent to the unit.
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack must be as direct as possible and shall be the same diameter as, or larger
than the vent outlet. The horizontal breaching of a vent must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per linear foot
from the boiler to the vent terminal. The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be supported for the design and weight of
the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent physical damage or separation of joints.
• Natural Draft Vertical Vent Termination
The vent terminal should be vertical and should terminate outside the building at least two (2) feet above the highest point
of the roof that is within 10 feet. The vent cap should have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet horizontally from and in no
case above or below (unless a four (4) foot horizontal distance is maintained) electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief
equipment. The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and building
openings must be consistent with the National Fuel Gas Code, or in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA-B149 Installation
Code for Gas BurningAppliances and Equipment. Gas vents supported only by flashing and extended above the roof more
than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads.
CAUTION:
Listed vent cap terminal must be used and sized adequately to evacuate the flue products from the
boilers.
• Natural Draft Vertical Venting With Common Venting System, Category I Appliance Only
Manifolds that connect more than one boiler to a common chimney must be sized to handle the combined load. Consult
available guides for proper sizing of the manifold and the chimney.At no time should the area of the vent be less than the area
of the largest boiler exhaust outlet.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected into any portion of
mechanical draft systems operating under a positive pressure.
Vent connectors for natural draft venting systems must be type “B” vent or better.
29
Common venting systems may be too large when an existing unit is removed.At the time of removal of an existing appliance,
the following steps must be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in
operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
a) Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.
b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion or other unsafe condition.
c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes
dryers and any appliance not connected to the common vent system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
d) Place in operation the appliances being inspected. Follow the manufacturers instructions for lighting each appli-
ance. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match
or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe, toilet paper trick. For the Hi-Delta, check the pressure at a pressure
tap located 12 inches above the bottom joint of the first vertical vent pipe. Pressure should be anywhere between
0 to -.1 inch water column.
f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly
vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and other gas burning
appliances to their previous conditions of use.
g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so that the installation conforms with
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA-B 149.1 and
.2 Installation Code for Gas BurningAppliances and Equipment. When re-sizing any portion of the common venting
system, the common venting system should be re-sized to approach the minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables in Appendix G in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada,
Appendix B of the latest edition of the Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.

The vent must be installed to prevent the flue gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly to insure that all joints are
sealed properly and are airtight.
The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight downward slope of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
For appliances installed in extreme cold climate, it is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal. In
this case, an approved condensate trap must be installed per applicable codes.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
A sleeve has been added inside the flue box of all Hi Delta heaters, as a redundant heat insulator to eliminate internal
condensation. It is to be removed only when the application calls for venting through the rear of the unit.
To remove sleeve, remove the rear exhaust cover panel and lift sleeve upward. Note: The sleeve is not mechanically
attached, and will lift upward with a rocking motion. Use a knife or razor blade to cut through and loosen the RTV
sealant.

SECTION J-5
Outdoor Installation
Outdoor models are self -venting when installed with the factory-supplied restricted direct vent cap and require no additional
vent piping. This special vent cap is provided with the boiler in accordance withAGA/CGArequirements. It must be installed
directly on the boiler. See Section B for correct clearances.
Care must be taken when locating the outdoor unit because the flue gases discharged from the vent hood can condense as
they leave the hood. Improper location can result in damage to adjacent structures or building finish. For maximum efficiency
and safety, the following precautions must be observed:
a) Outdoor models must be installed outdoors and must use the outdoor vent hood supplied by the manufacturer.
b) Periodically check venting system. The boiler’s venting areas must never be obstructed in any way and minimum
clearances must be observed to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation air. Keep area clear and free of
combustible and flammable materials.
c) Do not locate adjacent to any window, door walkway, or gravity air intake. The vent must be located a minimum of
four (4) feet horizontally, or four (4) feet below, or one (1) foot above such areas.
d) Install above grade level and above normal snow levels.
e) Vent terminal must be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
f) Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be protected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.
g) Multiple Outdoor Vent installations require a four (4) feet clearance between vent caps.
NOTICE:
NOTICE:
Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue
condition.
On snow prone areas it is recommended that the combustion air terminal be located on the rear of

IGNITION CONTROL MODULE
The interrupted proved ignition device conserves energy. When additional heat
is needed, the combustion air blower starts to purge all air from the combustion
chamber for about 15 seconds. On proof of air flow, the air proving switch closes
and the igniter is energized, eliminating the fuel costs of maintaining a constant
pilot. To assure safe operation, the gas valve cannot open until the pilot igniter is
verified. The 100% igniter safety is an electronic device which closes the main gas
valve within 8/10 of a second whenever the flame is interrupted. Main burner is
automatically lit when the device is powered and pre-purged. Unit performs its
own safety check and opens the main valve only after the igniter is proven to be
capable of ignition.

SECTION L: GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To meet commercial water use needs, the temperature Hi-Limt on this hot water boiler is adjustable up to 210°F. However,
water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds. The preferred starting point for setting
the control for supplying general purpose hot water is 125°F.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The
most energy efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs consistent with
the application.
Water temperature over 125°Fcan cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of
being scalded.
See instruction manual before setting temperature at
waterheater.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are available, see note
below.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the boiler’s burner has shut off. To determine the water temperature being
delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.
The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a
guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

TIME/TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
The temperature of the water in the hot water boiler can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the
thermostat. To comply with safety regulations the thermostat was set at its lowest setting before the hot water boiler was
shipped from the factory. The illustration below shows the thermostat and how to adjust the water temperature.
To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight
screwdriver into slotted screw in hole in front of thermostat
and turn wheel to desired setting.

PILOT TURN DOWN TEST FOR RAYPAK HI DELTA BOILERS
The Hi Delta boilers, depending on their size, have from two to five burner sections. Each burner section is supplied gas
by dual gas valves incorporated in single valve body. A maximum of three burner sections may be controlled by a single
hot surface ignition system. The middle of the three burner sections is lighted directly with a hot surface ignition system.
The burner section that is ignited directly by the hot surface ignition system serves as a supervised pilot to light the
burner sections on either side of it. The burner sections on either side of the supervised section (pilot) are electrically
interlocked with the supervised ignition system so as to not be energized unless flame is proven on the center section
which is acting as a pilot to light the right and left hand sections.
The pilot turn down test is conducted as follows:
1) Turn off manual valves on non-supervised burner sections.
2)
Turn on electrical power and adjust thermostat to call for heat.
3) Wait for completion of ignition sequence to light burner section being utilized as a pilot for those turned off in (1)
above.
4) Gradually reduce manifold pressure (flame) on supervised burner section by closing manual gas valve. Watch
for shut down due to loss of supervised flame signal as pressure is being reduced. Flame signal should be lost
before manifold pressure goes below 2 inches water column.
LEAK TEST PROCEDURE: DUAL-SEAT GAS VALVES
Proper leak testing requires three pressure test points in the gas train.
Test point A is upstream of the automatic gas valve. On the first automatic valve, this is a bleedle valve. On the
other valves, this is a plugged port. The bleedle valve on the first valve may be used for all the other valves as
well.
Test point B is a bleedle valve located between the two automatic gas valve seats.
Test point C is located downstream of both automatic gas valve seats and upstream of the manual valve. On the
manual valve, this is a bleedle valve. Identical readings will be found at the plugged port labeled as Alternate C”.
Refer to attached diagrams. Numbers on the diagram refer to the steps below:
These tests are to be conducted with the electrical power to the boiler turned off.
1) Manually close the downstream leak test valve.
2) Open test point A and connect a manometer to it. Verify that there is gas pressure and that it is within the proper
range (note: must not exceed 14 inches water column).
3) Open test point B and connect a rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a
build u of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve.
57
4) Next, close the upstream manual gas valve and remove the manometers from test point A and from test point B.
Connect a rubber tube from test point A to test point B and open the upstream manual gas valve. Make sure that test
points A & B have been opened so as to allow gas to flow. This will bring pressure to the second valve seat.
5) Open test point C and connect a second rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and
look for a build up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve.
6) Remove rubber test tube and manometers. Close each test point valve as the tubes are removed.
7) Connect a manometer to each test point (one at a time) and look for a build up of pressure. If a build up of pressure is
detected, check each test point valve to see if it is tightly closed. If leak persists, replace test point valve(s).
8) After no leakage has been verified at all valve seats and test valves, open downstream leak tests valve and restore
electrical power to boiler.
This completes leak testing for a single Hi Delta manifold riser. Repeat steps 1-8 for each riser.

APPENDIX A
INSIDECOMBUSTIONAIRCONTAMINATION:
All boilers experience some condensation during start-up.
The condensate from flue gas is slightly acidic. In most cases the pH level is not harmful to vents or drains. When
combustion air is contaminated by vapors from products in areas listed below, the acidic levels in the condensate increase.
Higher acidic levels attack many materials, including stainless steel commonly used in high efficiency systems.
The boiler can use special corrosion-resistant nonmetallic intake vent material. You may, however, choose to use outside
combustion air for one or more of these reasons:
•
•
•
installation is in an area containing contaminants listed below which will induce acidic condensation.
you want to reduce infiltration into your building through openings around windows and doors.
you are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe, which is more corrosion-resistant than standard metallic vent
pipe. In extremely contaminated area, this may also experience deterioration.
Products causing contaminated combustion air:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes/cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
calcium chloride used for thawing
sodium chloride used for water softening
refrigerant leaks
paint or varnish removers
hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
chloride-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms
adhesives used to fasten building products
... and other similar products.
Areas causing contaminated combustion air:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
metal fabrication plants
beauty shops
refrigeration repair shops
photo processing plants
auto body shops
plastic manufacturing plants
furniture refinishing areas and establishments
new building construction
remodeling areas.
Check for areas and products as listed above before installing boiler. If found:
•
•
remove products permanently, OR
provide outdoor combustion air.
