Installation
1.7.3
Hot-water temperature
CAUTION
DO NOT use galvanised pipes or fittings.
The hot water heat exchanger is made of
copper and is liable to suffer the effects of elec-
trolytic corrosion.
NOTE
When using plastic pipes, observe the
supplier's instructions - especially those refer-
ring to recommended jointing techniques and
the notes relating to the heating system water
on page 5.
Connect pipes free of tension (fig. 7).
1.7.4
Condensate drain
A condensate drain is integrated in the boiler.
The drain outlet is a standard (21.5 mm) overflow pipe.
Assemble hose as shown in fig. 8.
Screw the hose to the syphon as shown in fig. 9.
Insert the end of the flexible hose to a drainage point.
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drainage system
MUST be made of plastic - no other materials may be used.
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a minimum fall
of 1 in 20 away from the boiler, throughout its length.
Excessive external pipe runs should be avoided in order to
prevent possible freezing.
Any external pipework should be a minimum of 32 mm internal
diameter.
WARNING!
Any external run must be insulated.
Ensure that the condensate trap is filled with water.
1.7.5
Condensate removal
Positioning and termination of the condensate drain pipe
The condensate pipe should be run and terminate internally to
the house soil and vent stack or waste pipe. Alternatively, the
condensate can be discharged into the rainwater system, or
into a purpose-made soak away (condensate absorption
point).
All connecting drainage pipework should have a fall of at least
2.5° to the horizontal, or approximately 50 mm per metre of
pipe run.
If the drainage pipe has to be run externally, it is recommended
that the pipe be insulated to protect against frost.
It should be noted that the connection of a condensate pipe to
a drain may be subject to local building controls.
Subject to modifications resulting from technical improvements!
