Introduction
Introduction/Installation Requirements
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998.
This appliance must be installed and serviced by a competent
person, in accordance with the above regulations.
In the UK 'Corgi' Registered Installers (including the regions
of British Gas Plc) undertake to work to a safe and
satisfactory standard.
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution.
It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure that
the regulations are complied with.
Profile boilers are fully automatically controlled, wall
mounted, fan powered, balanced flue appliances using a
cast iron heat exchanger and are available in outputs
ranging from 11.72 - 23.45 kW (40,000 - 80,000 Btu/h)
The boilers which are designed to provide domestic hot
water and/or central heating must be used on INDIRECT hot
water systems only. The cast iron heat exchangers are
suitable for use on open vented gravity domestic hot water/
pumped central heating systems or fully pumped systems
which may be sealed or open vented.
Before installing the boiler on a gravity domestic hot water
system, consult the current building regulations as to any
restrictions.
The boilers are for use on Natural Gas (G20) only.
Samples of the Profile gas boilers have been examined by
Advantica Technologies Limited, a United Kingdom Notified
Body. The range is certified to comply with the essential
requirements of the Gas Appliance Directive 90/396/EEC,
the Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EEC and shows compliance
with the Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/
EEC
,
the Boiler Efficiency Directive 92/42/EEC and are
therefore permitted to carry the CE Mark.
Delivery & Kits Available
The unit is delivered in two packages (1) the boiler with
fittings and (2) the flue/terminal assembly. All boilers can be
supplied with either of the following types of flue system:
•
Standard horizontal flue system suitable for wall thickness
of 100 mm to 510 mm.
•
2 metre horizontal flue system which provides a maximum
flue length of 1955 mm.
•
Vertical flue system which allows the flue to pass
through a flat roof and terminate at a maximum height of
1980 mm measured from the top of the boiler case.
Various kits are available for the Profile range of boilers, see
page 33.
