- Page 6 Data Plate The boiler model and serial number can be located on the bottom of the boiler casing, shown in Frame 1 - Water & Gas Connection Diagram. SAFE HANDLING This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during movement into its installation location.
- Page 7 Ideal boilers in writing. If in doubt please enquire. Any direct connection of a control device not approved by Ideal Boilers could invalidate the certification and the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety Regulations and the above regulations.
- Page 8 A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed and constructed specially for this purpose. An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided that it is modified for the purpose. In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard / compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are to conform to the following: BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see "Air Supply"...
- Page 9 2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free passage of air across it at all times. 3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified in Table 4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m (6"6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to which people have access then the terminal MUST be protected by a purpose designed guard.
- Page 10 BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS Central heating systems controls should be installed to ensure the boiler is switched off when there is no demand for heating, in compliance with Building Regulations. Heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control of temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with a room thermostat controlling the temperature in a space served by radiators not fitted with such a valve.
- Page 11 Front Clearance The minimum front clearance when built in to a cupboard is 5mm from the cupboard door but 450mm overall clearance is still required, with the cupboard door open, to allow for servicing. * Bottom Clearance Bottom clearance after installation can be reduced to 5mm. This must be obtained with an easily removable panel, to enable the consumer to view the system pressure gauge, and to provide the 100mm clearance required for servicing.

This enables the installation of deflector, high level or balcony outlet flue kits without the removal of the whole "B" pack terminal. The appliance must not be operated without the desired outlet nose correctly fitted in place.
- Page 18 9 WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE The wall mounting template is located on the internal protective packaging. The template shows the position of the fixing and rear flue centre holes for a standard installation Care MUST be taken to ensure the correct holes are drilled. 1.
- Page 19 11 FITTING THE WALL MOUNTING PLATE Screw the wall mounting plate to the wall using 2 wall plugs (previously fitted) with the 2 screws provided. Choose one of the 2 sets of slots in left and right bank. Ensuring that at least one of the screws is fitted into a top slot. 12 MOUNTING THE BOILER 1.

FLUE KITS Telescopic Flue"B" Pack - contains: Flue turret, telescopic flue incorporating a terminal and rubber wall seals. Horizontal Flue Terminal (600mm long) "B" Pack - contains: Flue turret, non telescopic single piece flue incorporating a terminal and rubber wall seals.

THIS WILL REQUIRE 75MM TO BE CUT OFF THE TERMINAL END OF THE 1000MM TELESCOPIC FLUE. ALL OTHER LENGTHS OBTAINED USING "D"...
- Page 23 16 INSTALLING THE FLUE FITTING FLUE THROUGH THE WALL 1. Measure wall thickness and add 14mm. 2. Measure from the outer terminal lip towards the end of outer flue, place a small location mark at the dimension acquired at point 1. 3.
- Page 24 FITTING THE TURRET - Ensure the condense trap/siphon is filled with water 1. Ensure the rubber seal is fitted correctly on the appliance manifold and that all flue seals are undamaged. 2. Hold the flue firmly and push the turret on until it has travelled 30mm on to the flue pipe and is fully engaged. Make sure the flue has not rotated or moved forward during fitting and the flue seam is upper most.
- Page 25 18 ROOF FLUE KIT CONTENTS / OPTIONS 19 FLUE TERMINAL POSITION The terminal should be positioned so that products of combustion can safely disperse at all times. Pluming may occur at the termination so, where possible, terminal positions where this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
- Page 26 Where two or more vertical fanned draught chimney configurations terminate in close proximity at the same height, they shall be separated by at least 1 500mm. Where any vertical outlet is more than 300mm above the other, then they shall be separated by at least 1500mm. Where any vertical fanned draught chimney configuration outlet is within 2000mm measured horizontally of an opening window, then it shall be at least 300mm above the opening.
- Page 27 Determine the correct height that the flue should terminate above the roof. If after calculating or measuring the overall flue height from the top of the boiler, it is necessary to cut both pipes of assembly A, then ensure they are cut equally leaving the inner flue tube longer than the outer air tube as supplied.
- Page 28 6. If the last extension duct requires cutting, measure "X", the distance (outer ducts), between the duct and the terminal and add 100 mm to this dimension. This gives the length of the last extension duct. NOTE: Check the position of the inner flue duct relative to the outer duct on the assembled extension duct(s) and ensure the terminal flue duct is cut longer than the air duct to ensure engagement in the final flue duct seal.
- Page 29 All condensate pipework should conform to the following: a. Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed, access to an internal "gravity discharge" termination should be one of the main factors considered in determining boiler location. b. Plastic with push fit or solvent connections. c.
