If water treatment is used Ideal Boilers recommend only the The central heating system should be in accordance with the use of SCALEMASTER SM-1 PRO, FERNOX, MBI, ADEY MC1, relevant standards listed on page 8.
SECTION 1 - GENERAL 1.11 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with the current I.E.T. (BS7671) Wiring Regulations and any local regulations which apply. For Ireland reference should be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical installations The point of connection to the mains should be readily accessible and adjacent to the boiler.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.2 PACKAGING REMOVAL 1. The boiler should be laying on its back with the straps removed. 2. Carefully read the installation instructions before proceeding. 3. Remove the outer packing sleeve. 4. Remove the protective cardboard wall mounting template from the front of the boiler.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION Note: Horizontal flue runs must be 2.4 WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE to the horizontal to allow inclined at 1.5-3 condensate to drain back to the boiler. Note. The template shows the positions for the top fixing holes. Care must be taken to ensure the correct holes are drilled.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.6 MOUNTING THE BOILER • Due care should be taken when lifting the boilers, with respect to their weights, see Table 2 on Page 6. Also refer to Section 1.4 Safe Handling. 1. Lift the boiler onto the wall mounting plate as shown. Note: It is not necessary to hold the boiler at an angle to engage the wall mounting plate.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.8 FLUE SYSTEMS A multiple boiler flue header system is available ‘Ideal Multiline’. A comprehensive range of flue kits are available from This permits up to 6 boilers to be connected to a single flue Ideal Boilers. Examples of horizontal and vertical concentric header with a maximum total output of 600kW.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.15 PERMISSIBLE FLUE LENGTH The maximum permissible flue lengths for each model is shown in Table A below, these lengths are inclusive of the terminal resistance. The value shown is the max available length for extension. The equivalent length of elbows is shown in Table B.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.16 ASSEMBLING THE FLUE Care must be taken when assembling flues, not to damage Flue terminals or extension ducts may be cut to shorter lengths if required. When cutting a duct ensure it is square by marking the seals.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.17 FLUE TERMINATION POSITION Due to the high efficiency of these boilers pluming will occur. For this reason vertical termination is recommended, and in any case, terminal positions which could cause problems should where possible be avoided. Particular care should be taken in the case of large multiple boiler installations, and complying with the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.18 BOILER FRAME AND HEADER KITS Standard Height Frame & Header Kit - Heat output to a maximum of 900kW, except when using the multiline flue when a maximum of 600kW (See Multiline flue manual) can be achieved by cascading up to six boilers. Boilers can be fitted side by side using the standard height frame and header kits.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.19 CONDENSATE DRAIN Internal Drain Connections Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed to drain by gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack or kitchen or bathroom waste pipe etc.
