7.0 Installation Requirements
The boiler installation must be in compliance with BS540 : PART and the Building
Regulations.
7.1 General Requirements
7.1.1 Hearth
The boiler has a hearth temperature of between 50°C and 85°C and should be stood
on a rigid, non-porous, non-combustible base, which is not softened by warmth, to
comply with the Building Regulations.
7.1.2 Service Access
24” (600mm) Clearance should be provided above and in front of the boiler to allow
for routine servicing. Pumped, System and Combi models may require access to
the top.
7.1.3 Heating System
The heating system should be installed to HVCA current codes of practice. Before
installing the boiler the new or existing system must be thoroughly flushed to clear
all sludge or other foreign matter such as solder, steel wool and copper filings. The
system must be cleansed, neutralised and protected from corrosion in accordance
with BS5449 and BS7593 using suitable cleansing agent(s) and inhibitor(s) and
carried out in accordance with the cleanser / inhibitor manufacturers’ instructions.
The system must be dosed to the concentrations specified by the inhibitor
manufacturer (refer to the Technical Data section of this manual for the volume of the
boiler when calculating the total system volume). Failure of components such as, but
not limited to, pumps, auto air vents, pressure relief valves, plate heat exchangers
and non-return valves due to corrosion product in the system will not be covered by
warranty.
7.1.4 Air Vents
The plastic plugs of the auto air vent(s) factory-fitted to the boiler must be loosened
when filling the system in order to bleed the air from the boiler. In addition to any
factory fitted air vents it is recommended that another air vent is fitted at the highest
point in the system. Where the flow pipework drops down from the boiler the installer
must ensure that an automatic air vent is fitted to the top of the pipework to prevent
air being trapped in the boiler.
7.1.5 Drain Cock
For all appliances not factory-fitted with drain cocks, one should be fitted to the
boiler drain boss located to the left hand side of the burner. Drain cocks should also
be fitted to the lowest points in the system to allow the system to be completely
drained.
7.1.6 Frost Protection
Where there is a risk to the boiler or installation from frost then a suitable frost
thermostat should be fitted. Alternatively the system could be dosed with an anti
freeze agent. The Kabin Pak Combi boiler is factory fitted with a frost thermostat as
standard. For all other Kabin Pak models covered by this manual a Frost Thermostat
Kit (Code FSK) is available as an optional extra.
7.1.7 Pipework
We strongly advise that all installation pipework is run in copper. However, if plastic
pipe is used, it must be recommended by the pipe manufacturer for use with oil fired
appliances and, in any case, the last 000mm of pipework connected directly to the
appliance must be of copper. All connections to the appliance must be made with
compression fittings.
