Installation and Servicing

SECTION 1 - GENERAL

1.10 TERMINAL

The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate various
wall thicknesses. Refer to Section 2.9.

1.11 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.

1.12 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 -

Refer to Section 1.19.

1.13 BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS

Central heating system controls should be installed to ensure that
the boiler has no demand when there is no requirement from the
system, in compliance with Building Regulations.

Heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control

of temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with a

room thermostat controlling the temperature in a space served by

radiators not fitted with such a valve.

When thermostatic radiator valves are used, the space heating
temperature control over a living / dining area or hallway having
a heating requirement of at least 10% of the minimum boiler heat
output should be achieved using a room thermostat, whilst other
rooms are individually controlled by thermostatic radiator valves.
However, if the system employs thermostatic radiator valves on all

radiators, or two port valves, then a bypass circuit must be fitted

with an automatic bypass valve to ensure a flow of water should

all valves be in the closed position.

1.14 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

WARNING.

This appliance must be earthed.
Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with
the current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and any local
regulations which apply. For IE reference should be made to the
current ETCI rules for electrical installations.

The mains supply to the boiler and system wiring centre shall
be through one common fused double pole isolator and for new
heating systems, and where practical replacement installations,
the isolator shall be situated adjacent to the appliance.

1.15 CONDENSATE DRAIN

(Refer to Section 2.15

)

A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain must be

connected to a drainage point on site. All pipework and fittings in

the condensate drainage system MUST be made of plastic -

other materials may be used.

IMPORTANT.

Any external runs must be in accordance with BS.6798.

The drain outlet on the boiler is sized for standard 21.5mm

overflow pipe. It is a universal fitting to allow use of different

brands of pipework.
