INSTALLATION PACKAGING REMOVAL / REMOVAL FROM PALLET / LOCATING & LEVELLING The boiler is delivered assembled and protected by a cardboard sleeve and fittings and fixed on a wooden base. This allows the boiler to be handled by a forklift. The packaged boiler will pass through a 800mm wide opening and unpacked boiler through a 700mm wide opening.
INSTALLATION CONDENSATE DRAIN The condensate drain must be connected to the condensate bulk head connector on the back of the boiler and then connected to a drainage point, preferably within the building. The pipe size from the condensate connector on the lower rear panel is 21.5mm.
(24 x 0.2 mm) and to BS. 6500, Table 16. The fuse earth conductor is longer than the current carrying conductors, rating should be 5A for F80-F120 and 7A for F160-F280. such that if the cord anchorage should slip the current carrying Wiring external to the boiler MUST be in accordance with the conductors become taut before the earthing conductor.
