General notes

The boiler has been designed for use with a open-
vented central heating system, and comes fully
tested and assembled. The boiler is easily mounted
on any internal wall and can be installed with either a
horizontal or vertical RSF (room sealed fan assisted)
flue. The boiler uses a standard flue system (100 mm
or 125 mm outside diameter). Flue extensions and
additional 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.
The boiler has a built in diagnostic system which
indicates the operational status of the boiler. This
feature provides key information to aid commissioning
and fault finding. The data badge is fitted to the
combustion chamber cover of the boiler. See text of
General Requirements for installation requirements or
notes.
The Valliant ecoTEC plus boilers have been
constructed in accordance with recognised safety
regulations. Nevertheless, danger to the life and
limb of the user or third parties can still occur or the
appliance or other material assets be damaged in the
event of improper use. The appliances are designed for
central heating systems. Any other use or extended
use is considered to be use other than intended. The

operating and installation manual and the adherence
