Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specified in
Table 4.
4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m
(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then the terminal MUST be
protected by a purpose designed guard.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC flue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In case
of difficulty contact:
Grasslin (UK) Ltd., Tower House, Vale Rise, Tonbridge,
Kent TN9 1TB.
Tel: +44 (0) 1732 359 888. Fax: +44 (0) 1732 354 445
www.tfc-group.co.uk
Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to
prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler
MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible
material are given in BS. 5440-1:2000. In IE refer to
I.S.813:2002.
IMPORTANT. It is absolutely essential to ensure, in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air
infiltration, or forced ventilation / air conditioning.
If this should occur the appliance MUST be turned OFF, labelled
as 'unsafe' until corrective action can be taken.
TERMINAL
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate various
wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 12 .
AIR SUPPLY
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither is
it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the
boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of the
boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements of BS
6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded. In IE the
requirements of I.S.813:2002 may be disregarded.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
IMPORTANT.
A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
systems, BS.5449.
WATER TREATMENT - see Frame 6
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be
used without prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
a CORGI registered engineer. In IE by a Competent Person.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required.
N.B. The principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures that the isar
m30100 is able to deliver its full output at inlet pressures
well below those required by BS. 6891.
IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes MUST be fitted in accordance with BS. 6891.
In IE refer to I.S.813:2002. Pipework from the meter to the
boiler MUST be of an adequate size, i.e. no longer than 20m
and not less than 15mm O.D.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where
this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2000. In IE refer to
I.S.813:2002.
