General Description

The Ferroli  

 801 is a wall mounted, room sealed, fan assisted, combination boiler for Central Heating

(C.H.) and domestic Hot Water (D.H.W.).

The  boiler  is  of  light  weight  construction and the heat exchanger provides Central Heating and Domestic
Hot Water from an integrally designed unit. The boiler contains its own expansion vessel for sealed systems.
The wall mounting jig contains all the isolating cocks for the water and gas supplies which can be fitted to
the wall and provided with all the necessary gas and water connections  prior  to  the boiler being attached.
The flue can either be left hand, right hand or rear. There are three flue lengths available  and  they are 0.75
metres (for wall thickness up to 565 mm), 2 metres (for wall thickness up to 1815 mm) and 3 metres (for  wall
thickness) up to 2815 mm. These wall thicknesses assume a rear flue outlet. For side outlet the effective wall
thickness for each flue length is reduced by 91 mm plus the distance of the appliance from the side wall. The
Central Heating  and  the  Domestic Hot Water temperature is controlled by the Honeywell Modureg valve
in conjunction with the P.C.B. The  boiler  is fitted with its own Central Heating pump. The pump is switched
ON/OFF by the time clock  and/or a 24 Volt room thermostat. The pump circuit also has a 6 minute over-run
time. There is a Domestic Hot Water flow switch  fitted  and  when  there  is  a  demand  for  Domestic  Hot
Water the Central  Heating  pump  is  switched  off  making  available the maximum output of the gas burner
for Domestic Hot Water. On the P.C.B. the output for Central Heating can be set. However, this is not required
for the majority of installations as the boiler will automatically adjust its output to the system demand-AUTO-
MISER control. This does not influence the maximum output for domestic hot water. At the factory the central
heating output is pre-set to maximum. The appliance is not suitable for external installation.
