Annual Boiler Service
To ensure the safe operation of the unit over time, a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer must carry out a yearly
inspection, and complete the following checks:
•
The control and safety devices (gas valve, flow meter, thermostats, etc.) must operate correctly.
•
The flue exhaust duct must be sealed.
•
The boiler casing or chamber must be room sealed.
•
The Flue terminal and ducts must be free of obstructions, leaks & located correctly to BS5440.
•
The burner and exchanger must be clean and free of deposits. Use suitable soft brushes for cleaning. Never use
chemical products. (Wash down through the exchanger & out through the condense line with clean warm water).
•
The electrode must be correctly positioned and free of scale.
The electrode can be cleaned of encrustation's only with a non-metallic brush, and must NOT be sanded.
•
The gas and water systems must be tight.
•
The water pressure in the system when cold must be approx. 1.5 bar; otherwise bring it to that value.
•
The circulating pump must not be blocked.
•
The expansion vessel must be charged to 1.0 bar with no system pressure.
•
The gas flow and Inlet working pressure must match that given in the respective tables.
•
The condense pipework must be solvent weld, sealed & free of debris or blockages.
•
The condense trap must be full of water.
•
Check the quality of the water in the heating system via an "alkalinity test" (checking the inhibitor concentration).
•
Check the condition of the insulation within the exchanger & around the burner (Replace if cracked or damaged).
•
Check the flexible gas connection between the valve and Venturi.
•
Replace the burner gasket if damaged or over 5 years.
•
Finally, always check the combustion parameters (see "checking the combustion values").
Replacement of major components & testing
After replacing the gas valve, burner, electrode or circuit board, it is necessary to carry out the 100% calibration (see
"100% calibration" on page 23). Then follow the instructions in par. "Checking the combustion values" on page 22.

•
Disconnect the power supply and turn off the isola-
tion valve upstream of the gas valve.
•
Disconnect the two electrical connectors to the gas
valve
•
Disconnect the gas supply pipe to the gas valve
•
Undo the screws "1"
•
Remove the clamp "2"
•
Remove the gas valve "3"
•
Then undo the screws "4"
•
Fit the new valve, carrying out the above steps in
reverse order.
