Gas Connection - IDEAL imax plus F80 Installation And Servicing

9 WATER CONNECTION
The boiler flow and return pipes are terminated with 2" BSP
male taper threads on either the right or left hand side of the
appliance (see Frame 8 for reverse connection details). Water
returning from the system should be connected to the lower
pipe, with the flow water connection coming from the top pipe.

10 GAS CONNECTION

The boiler gas supply pipe is terminated in a 1 ½" BSP
male taper connection on the right or left-hand side of the
appliance (see Frame 8 for reverse connection details).
A minimum working gas pressure of 15mbar (6" w.g.) must
be available at the boiler inlet. Due to the presence of a
11 CONDENSATE DRAIN
A condensate drain for the boiler should be assembled as
shown below. This can be built using the parts provided plus
other pieces not supplied. The parts provided are 40mm
plastic pipe. All additional pipework and fittings in the
condensate drain system must also be made of plastic. No
other material may be used.
When routing the condensate drain from the boiler, care
should be taken to ensure alignment with one of the knock out
panels on the casing.
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a minimum fall
of 30mm per m. Suitable supports should be used to
maintain this.

INSTALLATION
If installing the boiler onto an existing system it is strongly
recommended that the system be thoroughly flushed before
connecting the boiler. When connecting to a new system it is
still important to flush the whole system in accordance with the
relevant standards.
minimum gas pressure switch it is therefore important to
carefully calculate the gas supply pipe size to avoid nuisance
shutdown.
A suitable gas cock (not supplied) should be fitted to allow
isolation of the boiler. The gas connection should be suitable for
being disconnected to enable servicing (see servicing section).
If the boiler is not installed on a plinth then a well will be
required to accommodate the condensate trap.
(Refer to Frame 6).
The condensate system from the boiler must be connected to a
drainage point, preferably within the building. Any external runs
must be kept to a minimum and insulated. This is to avoid
freezing in cold weather causing blocking.
Once connected the condensate trap should be filled initially
through the elbow provided, before fitting of the condensate
blanking plug.
