ecoTEC 800 range
The ecoTEC 800 range is a fully automatic, wall mount-
ed, room sealed condensing (high efficiency) combina-
tion boiler for central heating and domestic hot water.
Domestic hot water is supplied directly from the boiler,
without requiring a copper cylinder, cold water tank,
feed and expansion tank and associated pipework.
Domestic hot water has priority over central heating.
The ecoTEC 800 range consists of models with outputs
of 23 kW, 28 kW and 31 kW for domestic hot water. All
versions are available in natural gas. The 31 kW version
version is also available in LPG.
ecoTEC combination boilers incorporate a warm start
facility that keeps the domestic hot water heat exchang-
er hot, providing an instantaneous delivery of domestic
hot water. The temperature in the domestic hot water
no. 838404 heat exchanger is limited by the boiler control system
no. 800371 and it is not necessary to install a scale reducer on the
no. 802922 cold mains to the boiler. However, in areas that get
exceptionally hard water, a scale reducer may be fitted
to prevent scale formation in the hot water system
no. 839592 pipes. The heating system can be filled using the built–in
no. 835296 filling loop contained within the boiler.
ecoTEC 600 range
The ecoTEC 600 range is a fully automatic, wall mount-
ed, room sealed condensing (high efficiency) system
boiler for central heating and domestic hot water (where
a separate indirect hot water storage cylinder is also
incorporated in the system). The ecoTEC 600 range con-
sists of models with outputs of 12, 15, 18, 24 and 30 kW.
All ecoTEC 600 range boilers are available in Natural
Gas. The 18 kW and the 30 kW version are also available
in LPG.
1.3
The boilers have been designed for use with a sealed
central heating system, and come fully tested and
assembled with a built in circulating pump, expansion
vessel and diverter valve (ecoTEC 800). The boilers are
easily mounted on any internal wall and can be installed
with either a horizontal or vertical RSF (room sealed fan
assisted) flue.
The boilers use a standard flue system (100 mm or
125 mm outside diameter). Flue extensions and addition-
al bends and elbows are available for the flue system to
increase the flexibility. If desired, an inhibitor may be
used in the system. Guidance on the use of inhibitors is
contained in these instructions.
All boilers have a built in diagnostic system which indi-
cates the operational status of the boiler. This feature
provides key information to aid commissioning and fault
finding. The data badge is fitted to the underside of the
boiler. See text of General Requirements for installation
requirements or notes.
The Valliant ecoTEC are state-of-the-art appliances
which have been constructed in accordance with recog-
nised safety regulations. Nevertheless, danger to the life
and limb of the user or third parties can still occur or
