These instructions are intended for the use of Gas Safe registed installers in connection with the installation and putting into operation of ATAG boilers. It is advisable to read these instructions thoroughly, well in advance of installation. Separate instructions for use are supplied with the boiler for users of ATAG central heating boilers.
Installation Manual. Manufacturers instructions must not be taken, in any way, as overriding statutory obligations. The ATAG iR boiler is a central heating boiler for "open" expansion tank systems (open vent) only. The boiler must be connected according to these instructions and all installation norms in respect of the part of the boiler to be connected.

In case of a discharge the gasses will go outside. If fitting the regulator outside the regulator should be protected against influences of the weather. The (de-) aeration must be positioned downwards (see figure 9.5.3.a). ATAG advices to install measure points on all gas line parts to have the possibility to check for pressure loss. example propane installation figure 9.4.3.a Pre-pressure must be adjusted to 30 mbar by means of the house pressure regulator. The maximum permitted closing pressure may be 5 mbar higher than the maximum pre-pressure.
(b) an internal kitchen or bathroom waste pipe, washing machine waste pipe etc. Figure 9.5.3 shows a typical connection method.

The flue gas exhaust system and air supply system must comply with: The flue gas outlet and air supply installation must comply with the current regulation requirements. IG UP 10 and BS 715. The ATAG iR boiler as described in this manual is NOT suitable for a combined flue system. The appliance concentric connection diameter is 60/100 mm, to which the flue gas outlet and air supply system can be fitted, with or without elbow pieces. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in Table 9.6.2.a. For further information about the available components of the flue gas and air supply system we recommend you consult the Flue system literature. Combinations with other brands or systems are, without written permission from ATAG Heating, not permitted.

In certain weather conditions the terminal will emit a plume of steam. If possible avoid positioning the terminal where this may cause a nuisance, i.e. positions A, D, G, H, J or M. 7. The flue terminal must be exposed to the external air and the position must allow the free passage of air across it at all times. 8. A terminal must not be sited below 2m where people have access to, such as public footpaths, access routes, patios etc. However, If the terminal is fitted less than 2m above a surface where there is no public access, the terminal must be protected by a terminal guard.

BS 5440: Part 1 recommends that care is taken when siting terminals in relation to boundaries. Notes: See also Notes on previous page. 2. Plume kits running horizontally must have a 10° fall back to the boiler for proper disposal of condensate. 3.

6. If the inside sealing collar (white) is being used to make good the inside wall, then it will need to be fitted before assembling the flue. 7. Pull the flue assembly towards the bend, locating the inner duct into the seal joint on the bend and secure the flue assembly to the bend by pushing fully home. 8. Make good the outside wall by fitting the outside sealing collar (grey) onto the location provided immediately behind the flue terminal grille. Make good the inside wall using the inside sealing collar (white) if required. When mounting the flue gas system, pay attention to the flow direction (See Flue figure 9.6.2.b). It is not permitted to mount a system upside down and will lead to complaints. Use a soap solvent or special grease (supplied in the accessory bag with the boiler) to simplify the fitting.
