is printed on the back cover of this manual. The owner
should fill out the warranty registration card and
return it to Laars.
All warranty claims must be made to an
authorized Laars representative or directly to the
factory. Claims must include the boiler serial number
and model (this information can be found on the rating
plate), installation date and name of the installer.
Shipping costs are not included in the warranty
coverage. Some accessory items are shipped in
separate packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed
on the packing slip. Inspect each item for damage
immediately upon delivery, and advise the carrier of
any shortages or damage. Any such claims should be
filed with the carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is
responsible for shortages and damage to the shipment
whether visible or concealed .

1D. Flow Requirements
All high recovery, low volume water boilers
must have adequate flow for proper operation. Pump
selection is critical to this goal, and pumps should be
selected to provide for correct system design water
temperature rise. Table 2 details temperature rise and
water flow for the Mini-Therm boilers.
SECTION 1.
General Information
WARNING
The JVi induced draft hydronic boiler must be
installed in accordance with the procedures detailed
in this manual, or the Laars warranty will be voided.
The installation must conform to the requirements
of the local jurisdiction having authority, and, in the
United States, to the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, the
installation must conform with the latest edition of
CAN/CGA B149.1 OR .2 installation codes for gas
burning appliances, and/or local codes.
Any modifications to the boiler, its gas controls, gas
orifices, wiring or draft inducer assembly may void
the warranty. If field conditions require
modifications, consult the factory representative
before initiating such modifications.
1A. Introduction
This manual provides information necessary for
the installation, operation, and maintenance of the
Laars Model JVi induced draft, low pressure, copper
tube hydronic boilers. These boilers are available in
two configurations; the JVH has a hot surface pilot
ignition system and the JVP has an electronic
intermittent ignition device (I.I.D.). Look for the
model designation on the rating plate, which can be
found on top of the boiler.
All application and installation procedures
should be reviewed completely before proceeding with
the installation. Consult the Laars factory, or local
factory representative, with any problems or questions
regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that
most operating problems are caused by improper
installation.
1B. Warranty
The Laars Model JVi induced draft boilers are
covered by a limited warranty. A copy of the warranty

gpm = Water Flow in gallons per minute.
l/s = Water flow in liters per second.
ft = Pressure drop (headloss) through the boiler in feet of water.
m = Pressure drop (headloss) through the boiler in meters of water.
Note: Shaded area is the recommended flow and temperature rise.
