The new design changes became effective July 1, 2004 with the allowing of all old stock being sold by the distributors. Watch for local code changes and check with your local AHJ to see if being accepted, they still may require the elevated platform.

Welcome to NACHI George. I look forward to working in the same area as you and have heard lots of good things about you from various people. Good, respected competition is always a pleasure to be around. I just checked with Fergusons and was told what I thought. THEORETICALLY they don’t need stands but until code catches up…I would call Richard Harmon and check with him at Columbia County.

Can you tie them together if one is gas the other is oil? and if they were the same flue i thought the hw heater should be tied into the chimney directly and above the boiler connection…

They may be using the HW heater perdominantly in the summer months to cut down on fuel oil costs, and in the winter as a way to have hot water ready for those AM showers.
