CONTENTS FOREWORD We would like to thank you for purchasing a high efficiency Firebird condensing oil boiler. This instruction manual is produced for the reference and guidance of qualified installation engineers, preferably OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) registered. EU legislation governs the manufacture, operation and efficiency of all domestic central heating oil boilers.
STANDARDS & REGULATIONS To ensure the highest standards of installation & safety, In addition, the work must comply with relevant it is important that the boiler be installed in compliance building regulations for oil fired boilers and oil with the following regulations where applicable. It is storage tanks.
SAFETY HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: The installer should be aware of his/her responsibilities under the current, local Health and Safety at Work Act. The This equipment complies with the Low Voltage Directive interests of safety are best served if the boiler is installed 2006/95/EC &...

Combipac or Heatpac. Grasslin Single Channel 24 Hour Timer The F1 Timer is used to time the central circuit only in the Firebird Slimline Combi Boiler. This means that the combi is switched on 24 hours a day when the domestic hot water is on stand by mode. The timer is simple to use and install.
Sound levels must also be a consideration. Whilst Firebird Enviromax boilers are one of the quietest boilers on the market, some householders are particularly sensitive and the following points should be considered: 1.
4.3 - CONDENSATE DISPOSAL - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES Firebird condensing boilers, when in condensing mode, extract more heat from the flue products and the resulting condensate which is mildly acidic, needs to be drained from the boiler via a condensate pipe to the drainage system.
450mm from painted eaves. Prevailing winds should be taken into account when siting a flue. FIREBIRD RECOMMENDS AS PER OFTEC RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT THE FLUE SHOULD BE A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 1 METRE FROM OPENINGS SO THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE A NUISANCE AND PERMITS THE DISPERSAL OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS (SEE PAGE 18).

4.4 - FLUE REGULATIONS - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES Clearances advised by BS 5410 Part 1: 2014 Regular Appliance (Open, Low Level Discharge and Balanced) Flue Termination Clearance The basic requirement with regard to flue positioning is that no hazard or nuisance is caused by the flue gases. Diagrams 20a and 20b show clearances advised by BS 5410 Part 1: 2014.

BALANCED FLUE BOILERS The Firebird boiler may be set for room-sealed flue operation using a Firebird condensing balanced flue kit. This kit does not draw combustion air from inside the room. It is drawn from outside, direct to the burner by an air pipe supplied with the boiler.
Page 19
4.4 - FLUE REGULATIONS - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES Ventilation and Combustion Air Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.
IMPORTANT It should be noted that the normal statutory clearances The Firebird condensing boiler must not be installed required around low level flue terminals may not be with existing flue systems. A flue system suitable for wet sufficient to cope with plume dispersal from a condensing flues must be used.
4.5 - FLUE SYSTEMS - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH ALL FLUE KITS HEATPAC FLUE For right hand flue option, remove the 45˚ terminal should be tilted up two screws securing the flue, rotate the flue to prevent condensate droping and swap the removable side panels from end of flue CONDENSING BOILER CHIMNEY INSTALLATION...

4.6 - OIL SUPPLY & MAGNETIC FILTRATION - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES OIL STORAGE TANK SITING FLEXIBLE OIL PIPE(S) Consult OFTEC Manuals A flexible burner oil hose is supplied with the boiler which must be wholly contained with in the appliance It is unlikely that a fire will start at an oil tank.
Page 24
4.6 - OIL SUPPLY & MAGNETIC FILTRATION - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES TWO PIPE SYSTEMS IMPORTANT: Fire Valves should comply with OFTEC Standards OFS E101. Where installation is such that the bottom of the tank is Fitting of fire valves should comply located below the oil burner pump, a two pipe system is with BS 5410 Part 1: 2014 and required.
The pipe should be as short as possible and may need a The Firebird Combi boilers with built in expansion tundish fitted in a protected position within the vessels have an initial air charge pressure of 1 bar. If building.
