    GENERAL LOCATION OF BOILER BOILER WATER CONNECTIONS The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable The boiler flow and return pipes are of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any suitable for 28 mm compression fitting and ancillary equipment or on a 2 or 3 boiler frame supplied in kit are located at the bottom right hand side form by Caradon Ideal Ltd.
  • Page 6 GENERAL OPEN VENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The system should be vented directly off the boiler flow pipe, as close to the boiler as possible. The cold feed entry should be inverted and MUST be positioned between the pump and the vent, and not more than 150 mm (6”) away from the vent connection.

    GENERAL 5 WATER TREATMENT The Maximiser boiler has an ALUMINIUM alloy heat exchanger Corrosion will always occur within a heating/hot water system to a greater or lesser degree irrespective of water characteris- tics, unless the initial fill water from the mains is treated. For these reasons Caradon Ideal strongly recommends that when necessary the system be thoroughly cleaned prior to the use of a stable inhibitor wich does not require continual topping up to combat the effects of hardness, salts, and corrosion on the heat exchanger and its associated systems.

    INSTALLATION 31 BOILER ADJUSTMENTS General The Maximiser constantly controls the gas/air mixture. In Fig. 31.1 order to maintain the correct output and low emissions it is important to have the initial adjustment correct, thus avoiding high/low operation and/or bad emissions. Although the boiler has been factory set, starting problems can be caused by a variation of the gas/air pressure ratio.
