2 CONDENSING BOILER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The Warmflow condensing boiler can be fitted to most installations using standard practices and techniques. There are however a number of considerations that must be taken into account. All existing systems must be properly flushed to remove any sediment/ sludge in order to prevent any blockage or reduction in efficiency of the boiler.
Combi boiler. Systems requiring very high hot water flow rates may be better suited with a Warmflow unvented cylinder. 2. That the mains are capable of supplying up to 24 litre/min with a minimum dynamic pressure of 1.8 bar at the boiler.
Regulations Section 6, Part F Northern Ireland and Part L Republic of Ireland. Warmflow oil fired condensing boilers are designed to burn Class C2 (28 sec redwood) kerosene only and to be used on a fully pumped system, and are suitable for connection to sealed heating systems.
The heating system should be installed by a competent installer in accordance with the recommendations laid down by the building services compliance guide, OFTEC and sound engineering practice. In order to comply with building regulations, the boiler passport and or OFTEC forms CD10 for installations and CD11 for commissioning should be left with the customer.

7.4 One Pipe Lift System Total Maximum Pipe Length (m) Head H(m) ID 8mm ID 10mm Note: The pump vacuum should not exceed a maximum of 0.4 bar. Above this, gas is released from the oil thus leading to burner lockout. Page 49...
5. Warmflow recommends that the in line and burner oil pump filters are inspected and if required replaced frequently during burner use, before the burner start up following a long period of discontinued operation and even more frequently where contamination has occurred.
Page 53
5. Warmflow recommends a good quality bio compatible oil filter at the tank and a secondary filter are used to protect the burner pump and nozzle from contamination.
2 feet (600mm) above the ridge of the dwelling. Terminals which restrict the discharge or allow ingress of water should be avoided. When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, a Warmflow HFL or VFL flexible flue liner suitable for use with oil fired condensing boilers and of an appropriate diameter must be used.

9 AIR SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION & VENTILATION (see BS5410) 9.1 Open Flue Boilers When the boiler is sited in a cellar where the only access for combustion and ventilation air is at high level then the combustion air should be ducted to low level.
10 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The boiler installation must be in compliance with BS5410 : PART 1 and the Building Regulations. 10.1 General Requirements 10.1.1 Hearth The boiler has a hearth temperature of between 50°C and 85°C and should be stood on a rigid, non-porous, non-combustible base, which is not softened by warmth, to comply with the Building Regulations.
Frequent or routine refilling and topping up of the system should not be necessary on an ongoing basis and may prove harmful to the appliance. Should topping up prove necessary on a frequent or routine basis you must contact Warmflow or your installer. 10.2.4 Pressure relief Valve Any pressure relief valve fitted to the boiler or system must be able to discharge externally to a drain where the discharge can be seen but cannot cause any injury or damage.
Although many of the DHW components are designed to resist lime scale formation, in areas of hard water it may still be necessary to fit an inline chemical water softener. For further information contact Warmflow and your local water company. 10.3.3 Flow Restrictor An 18L/min flow restrictor has been factory fitted but can be easily removed if required.
11 BURNERS 11.1 RDB Burner 11.2 Oil Pump The burner is supplied for use with a one pipe system. For use on a two pipe system, it is necessary to remove the return port plug and fit a small by-pass plug as shown. Page 73...
11.3 Electrode Setting When removing or replacing the nozzle, move the electrodes forward to avoid the risk of damage. The electrodes are slackened by unscrewing the brass post that passes from the electrode holder out of the side of the burner. When work is complete, ensure the electrodes are reset as shown and secured by tightening the brass post.
Warmflow or OFTEC trained and registered technician and the commissioning certificate of the OFTEC Boiler Passport completed and returned to Warmflow within 30 days from the date of installation and 90 days from the date code stamped on the appliance.
