2 Introduction

2.1 General Information

Note!
This boiler must be installed and serviced by a
competent person in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
In the UK "CORGI" registered installers
undertake the work to a safe and satisfactory
standard.
turboMAX plus boiler
The turboMAX plus is a fully automatic, wall mounted,
room sealed combination 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 turboMAX plus range consists of models with
outputs for domestic hot water of 24 kW , 28 kW and 37
kW. All turboMAX plus boilers are available in Natural
Gas. The 24 and 28 kW versions are also available in
LPG.
turboMAX plus combination boilers incorporate a
warmstart facility that keeps the domestic hot water
heat exchanger hot, providing an instantaneous delivery
of domestic hot water.
The temperature in the domestic hot water heat
exchanger is limited by the boiler control system and it
is not necessary to install a scale reducer on the cold
mains to the boiler.
However, in exceptionally hard water areas to prevent
scale formation in the property hot water system
pipework, a scale reducer may be fitted.
The heating system can be filled using the built-in filling
loop contained within the boiler.
thermoCOMPACT boiler
The thermoCOMPACT is a fully automatic, wall mounted,
room sealed system boiler for central heating and
domestic hot water (where a separate indirect hot water
storage cylinder is also incorporated in the system).
The thermoCOMPACT range consists of models with
outputs of 15, 20, 24, 28 kW and 37 kW.
All thermoCOMPACT boilers are available in Natural Gas.
The 20 and 28 kW versions are also available in LPG.

2.2 General Notes

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 (turboMAX plus only). The
boilers are not suitable for use on open vented systems.
The boilers are easily sited on any internal wall and can
be installed with either a horizontal or vertical RSF
(room sealed fan assisted) flue. Two types of flue

systems are available, the standard concentric flue
system (100 mm outside diameter) and a larger
diameter concentric flue system (125 mm outside
diameter) which allows longer flue lengths to be
achieved. Flue extensions and additional bends and
elbows are available for both flue systems to increase
the siting flexibility.
There is also a 100 mm diameter concentric flue
accessory which connects to the alternative rear flue
outlet on the boiler for direct through the wall
installations. The boilers are not suitable for external
installation. 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
indicates the operational status of the boiler.
This feature provides key information to aid
commissioning and fault finding.
The data badge is fitted on the rear of the control panel.
See text of General Requirements for installation
requirements or notes.
Vaillant Ltd. support the Benchmark initiative.
Within the information pack, you will find a Benchmark
Log Book. It is very important that this is completed
correctly at the time of installation, commissioning and
handover to the user.

2.3 EC designation

turboMAX plus (824/828/837) and thermoCOMPACT
boilers (615/620/624/628/637) carry the "CE" Mark. This
demonstrates that the boilers fulfil the essential
requirements of the Gas Appliance
Directive(90/396/EEC) and the Gas Appliance (Safety)
Regulations 1992.
The "CE" Mark also demonstrates that the boilers
comply with the requirements of the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (89/336/EEC), the Low Voltage
Directive (72/23/EEC), the Boiler Efficiency Directive
(92/42/EEC) and the Boiler (Efficiency) Regulations
1993.
