When you purchase a Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series home comfort system your new appliance will be sized on the basis of the new heat loss calculation. This will ensure that your new Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series home comfort system will deliver only the amount of heat required to match your actual home’s heating demand.
The correct boiler is selected by matching the boiler's Net I-B-R Rating to the actual heat loss of the building. If the calculated load exceeds the capacity of the largest size Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler, two or more units may be installed. Modular installations can be a sound investment leading to an increase in fuel efficiency.
Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series All Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boilers must be properly sized to provide domestic hot water. Use the water heater manufacturer's charts to determine the correct BTU requirements for domestic hot water service. Alternatively, the ‘K’ factor sizing method, which uses past energy consumption, based on the efficiency of the old appliance and local weather data may also be used.
Combustion Air and Ventilation If a Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler is being used for a retrofit and is installed in a full basement with adequate infiltration for combustion air it may be installed in the usual way following accepted industry guidelines and good industry practices.
Particularly if you choose to isolate your Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler in an enclosed area of your home, a fresh air intake must be installed in this area.
The Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series is a low mass boiler and care should be taken to ensure that a high volume of water should not be allowed to flood the boiler from a high volume standing cast iron system.
The rapid production of corrosion and cold flame temperatures can lead to rapid boiler plugging. The following step-by-step procedure should be followed for connecting the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler to the existing heat distribution system:...
The by-pass loop is a must on all standing cast iron radiation systems. This eliminates flooding (cold return) on a low mass boiler and gravity flow during off cycles. If the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series Boiler is to be used with large water content systems, or the boiler will be placed into use in a low water temperature system such as a converted gravity circulation system, a full size bypass loop is recommended.
The relief valve, backflow-preventer and drain valve should be piped according to code and should be piped to discharge safely. If the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series is to be used with a storage type domestic hot water system other than provided by PNA, Inc. connect and wire according to manufacturer's instructions.

Connect the thermostat leads to the circulation pump operating control or aquastat as applicable. The Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler should be equipped with a burner that includes a 15 second pre-purge control. This will ensure smooth, quiet starts and proper performance. Although a post-purge period is not required, a one minute post-purge will make for better operation.
Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series Electrical Hazard All electrical devices shall have cover plates, enclosures and guards that must be maintained in place at al times, except during maintenance and servicing.

Oil fired appliances shall be connected to flues or vents having sufficient draft at all times to ensure safe and proper operation of the appliance. When venting the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boilers, all installations should conform to all national, local and state codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
• Chimney connectors should be free of as many 90° degree turns as possible, and be pitched upwards towards the vent. It is important to note that due to the high efficiency of the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boilers condensing temperatures in the chimney connector and venting system may be reached.
Standard roof clearances apply. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure they are adequate. Mechanical Draft Applications When using Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boilers in a mechanical draft application the following basic guidelines should be observed according to the venting system in use. In addition, it is strongly recommended that the applicable precautions for Natural Draft Applications be used.
Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series • At least 1' from any roof soffit or ridge vent. • At least 7' above any public walkway. • All of the vent construction consists of suitable materials, and terminates at an approved stainless steel hood.
Page 27
Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series Fuel System Enclosed with each burner are the pump manufacturers' specifications, which the fuel system piping should conform to. In addition the following suggestions are highly recommended. • All fuel system piping must meet local codes and ordinances.
Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series CRANKCASE OIL, WASTE OIL, OR GASOLINE SHOULD NEVER BE USED! The danger of explosion and personal injury is VERY HIGH when GASOLINE is present in fuel source! Never attempt to burn garbage or paper in the heating unit and remove all paper and rags from around the unit.
