General Description The Ferroli 601 is a wall mounted, room sealed, fan assisted, combination boiler for Central Heating (C.H.) and domestic Hot Water (D.H.W.). The boiler is of light weight construction and the heat exchanger provides Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water from an integrally designed unit.

Installation Details Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1994 In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E.
Flue system The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler or from either side. A standard flue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied (equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815 mm for rear flues and deduct 91 mm plus distance from side wall for side outlet flues).

Built-in Central Heating Water Circulating Pump The pump head available for circulating the water is given in fig. 8. N.B. - The pump is factory set at position 3. The pump is a Grundfos type 25-50 UPS series. Grunfos Pump performance graph Note - Minimum flow through boiler heat exchanger at any time should not fall below 6 litres per minute.

Installation Note - To mount the boiler on the wall, a two person lift will be needed. UNPACKING The appliance is delivered in 2 cartons. The large carton contains the boiler, and the Installation/Servicing and Users Instructions. The second carton contains the mounting jig assembly, complete with isolating valves, the assembly fixing screws and wall plugs (x4), the boiler mounting nuts and washers (x2), drilling template, flue assembly and flue bend.
Flush out the water system. Note - The maximum inlet cold water pressure must not exceed 10 bar (145 P.S.I.) and a water governor or a pressure reducing valve will be required if the pressure is in excess of 5 bar (72 P.S.I.). Ensure all pipework is adequately supported.

PREPARING THE FLUE ASSEMBLY Rear Flue Outlet (fig. 12) Important - The aluminium flue pipe must protrude into the outside grill by 60 mm, never cut it to the same length as the plastic air pipe (aluminium flue pipe = plastic air inlet pipe + 70 mm !). Aluminium flue pipe length = Plastic air inlet pipe length plus 70 mm longer.

FITTING THE FLUE ASSEMBLY With Sufficient Clearance To Insert Assembly From Inside 6.1.1 Insert the flue assembly into the wall. 6.1.2 Insert the flue bend in the top plate of the boiler 6.1.3 Secure the flue bend. 6.1.4 Fully insert the flue assembly into the boiler flue bend. Insert the self tapping screw supplied. Fully tighten. 6.1.5 Check the terminal relationship with the wall as shown in fig.
