PRE-INSTALLATION WATER SYSTEMS AND PIPE WORK TYPICAL SEALED SYSTEM PLASTIC PIPE WORK: • Any plastic pipe work must have a polymeric barrier with 600mm (minimum) length of copper pipe connected to the boiler. • Plastic pipe work used for underfloor heating must be correctly controlled with a thermostatic blending valve limiting the temperature of the circuits to approximately 50 °C.
PRE-INSTALLATION CONDENSATE PIPE WORK NOTICE: ▶ Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed, access to an internal “gravity discharge” point should be one of the factors considered in determining boiler location. ▶ The condensate pipe must be nominally 100mm 22mm Ø...
PRE-INSTALLATION 3.4.2 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS NOTICE: Freezing conditions ▶ When the position of the boiler prevents internal routing, we recommend installing a CondenseSure siphon to significantly reduce the risk of freezing. ▶ Pipe work length should be kept to a minimum and the route as vertical as possible.
PRE-INSTALLATION BOILER INTERNAL DRAIN NOTICE: Unheated internal areas. The CDI Classic has the facility to drain the water direct from the ▶ Internal pipe runs in unheated areas such as lofts, boiler through the condensate pipe. basements and garages should be treated as external runs and consideration should be given to using a CondenseSure siphon.
600mm** For installations in a cellar or basement, there is an accessory that is available from Worcester that allows the pressure relief valve to be fitted remotely from the boiler. This accessory can be used when there is difficulty accessing an external drain.
PRE-INSTALLATION BATHROOMS: A boiler fitted with a non-mechanical timer or with no timer can be installed in zone 2 or outside the shaded area. A boiler with a mechanical timer or RF mechanical timer with room thermostat must only be installed outside the shaded area. Additional RCD (Residual Current Device) protection may be required.
Horizontal extended flue with 2x90° bends maximum of 4500mm of plume management. Flue option 4 100mmØ 125mmØ For example on a 29CDi Classic if the plume management effective 29CDi 4,900mm 14,500mm length was 1500mm, the internal flue would be reduced to 5200mm.
