VFC 160
1. INSTALLATION
1.1 GENERAL
The VFC 160 boiler is a low pressure,
fully condensing unit having a fixed
firing rate input of 160 MBH (160,000
Btu/hr). The boiler is approved for
either Direct Vent (sealed combustion)
or Category IV (indoor air) applications,
providing a great degree of installation
flexibility.
The installer must clearly indicate the
vent category for the installation on
the rating plate using an indelible
marker. See section 1.4 - Venting.
Figure 1. shows outer case dimensions
and piping and electrical holes. Use this
diagram to find a suitable location for
the boiler. (see also Section 1.3 -
Location.)
Instructions to put the boiler in operation
are located on the inside surface of this
cover panel.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline of other
flammable vapors and liquids in the

Installation must conform to local codes,
or in the absence of these, with the latest
editions of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 and the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
Where required by jurisdiction,
