Page 12: System Details
This means that the efficiency of the system will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within the system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler noise and circulation problems. • When fitting new systems flux will be evident within the system, which can lead to damage of system components. - Page 13 Consideration must be given to the possibility that boiling water/steam could discharge from the pipe. 4. A remote relief valve kit is available to enable the boiler to be installed in cellars or similar locations below outside ground level (kit no. 5121379).
- Page 14 6. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8 bar, therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess of 8 bar. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted for pressures in excess of 8 bar.

Page 15: Site Requirements
780mm 3. If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or shower reference must be made to the relevant requirements. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and Building Regulations. - Page 16 Bath & Shower Rooms 1. As the boiler is fitted with an integral timer when installed in a room containing a bath or shower it cannot be fitted in zones 1 or 2. (Figs. 11 & 12 shows zone dimensions for a bathtub.
- Page 17 6. It is advisable to keep the condensate pipe internal. 7. External runs greater than 3 metres or runs in cold areas should use 32mm waste pipe. 8. If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire condensate discharge pipe should be treated as an external run.
- Page 18 Air Inlet 7.0 Site Requirements Flue NOTE: Due to the nature of the boiler a plume of water vapour will be discharged from the flue. This should be taken into account when siting the flue terminal. 1. The following guidelines indicate the general requirements for siting balanced flue terminals.

1. Remove staples, open flaps and remove the cardboard sheet. Remove the polystyrene side pieces and literature. Two people can then lift out the boiler (Figs. 39 & 40). 2. After considering the site requirements (see Section 7.0) position the fixing template on the wall ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically. - Page 29 10.0 Installation 10.3 Fitting the Filling Loop 1. The filling loop supplied with the boiler can be connected to the taps on the wall plate at this point. 2. The filling loop is to be connected between the mains cold water inlet and central heating return isolation taps.
- Page 30 1. Lift the boiler using the Lifting Points as shown by the shaded areas (Fig. 45). The boiler should be lifted by TWO PEOPLE. Engage the slots at the top rear of the boiler on the wall plate (Fig. 46) (see Safe Manual Handling page 5).
- Page 31 (Fig. 48). 2. Locate the flue elbow on the adaptor at the top of the boiler. Set the elbow to the required orientation (Fig. 50). The elbow is fully engaged when there is a distance of 20mm from the adaptor to the indicator line (Fig.
- Page 32 (Fig. 53). 8. Insert the flue through the hole in the wall. Fit the elbow to the boiler adaptor, ensuring that it is pushed fully in. 9. Draw the flue back through the wall and engage it in the elbow.
