FLUE GAS CONNECTION

8.4.1

OPEN FLUE OPERATION

If operation independent of room air is not desired or
not possible due to local conditions, the boiler can be
set up for operation to take air for combustion from the
room (contact Worcester Technical).
The boiler is factory-fitted with a concentric connection.
An air intake strainer basket can be used for operation
dependent on room air. This prevents falling dirt from
entering the boiler (contact Worcester Technical;
accessory).
8.4.2

ROOM SEALED OPERATION

The boiler can be connected to a concentric flue gas
system.
The boiler is factory-fitted with a concentric connection.
8.4.3

FLUE MATERIAL

When using plastic flue material, PPS is recommended.

CALCULATING THE AIR INTAKE AND FLUE

GAS PIPE DIMENSIONS

The total reduced pipe length is calculated from the sum
of the reduced length of the horizontal and vertical flue
ducting and the reduced length of every elbow
( table 7).
The total reduced pipe length must be less than the
maximum pipe length (

Boiler: GB162-80
Flue system: concentric 100/150
Maximum length: 18 m.
Here we have:
• 4 meter pipe (2 x 2 m)
• 2 x 90° bends (2 x 2.1 m)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

When connecting the electrical components, observe
the wiring diagram, the installation and servicing
instructions of the relevant product.
WARNING: Damage to the installation due
to short circuits.
To prevent electrical components from
short-circuiting, only use:
– original cables and wiring supplied by the
manufacturer.
– single core cable.
B Use cable of at least 0.75 mm².
B If the mains lead has to be replaced, you
may only use an original manufacturer-
supplied mains lead.
DANGER: Danger of fatal accident due to
electric current when the boiler is open.
B Before opening the boiler: Isolate the
mains supply.
B Secure the heating system so that it
cannot be switched on again
unexpectedly, pulling the mains plug
from the wall socket.
The 230V converter can only be used for the
GB162-65 aplliance.
