thereby eliminating the possibility of freezing. The dis- charge pipe must terminate in a position where any water - possibly boiling - discharges safely without causing damage or injury, but is still visible. 4.6.4 CONDENSE PIPE During normal operation the boiler produces condense which is collected in a trap located in the lower part of the boiler.

SECTION 8 WIRING DIAGRAMS EXTERNAL WIRING The appliance comes with a factory fitted link-wire to allow basic operation of the boiler (fig. 40). If external controls are to be added to the system, they must be connected to the appliance as shown in the following diagrams. For advice on controls that are not featured in this book, please contact the technical help-line for detailed advice and guidance on 0844 391 0987.
INTEGRAL CLOCK OTHER CONTROLS Contact the controls manufacturer and/or the technical help line should you require more specific information Integral or external clock on the suitability of a particular control. Further guidance on the recommended practice for the installation of external controls, can be found in CHeSS - HC5/HC6 (www.energy-efficiency.gov.uk).
