    Sound levels must also be a consideration. Whilst the Firebird Combi Range are one of the quietest boilers on the market, some householders are particularly sensitive and the following points should be considered: 1.
  • Page 19 INSTALLATION 4-C Flue Systems IMPORTANT Because of the improved efficiencies of boilers under E.U. Efficiency requirements and OFS A100 Standard, it is necessary to pay extra special attention to flues and chimneys. The improved efficiency figures achieved by modern oil boilers are attained by using more of the heat (higher temperatures) heretofore allowed into flues and chimneys.

    INSTALLATION 4-E Ventilation and Combustion Air 1. Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.

    2. Balanced Flue Boilers The Firebird boiler may be set for Room-sealed balanced flue operation using a Firebird balanced flue kit and then does not draw combustion air from inside the room. It is drawn from outside direct to burner by airpipe ☛...
  • Page 24: Oil Supply

    OIL SUPPLY The boiler burner is factory set to use 28-second kerosene. However, Gas oil 35-second can be used with a conventional flue installation if a PRE-HEATER is also fitted. Note: Gas Oil 35sec may not be used with a balanced flue installation. If boiler location allows use of 35 sec.Gas Oil, pump pressure should be increased and air settings readjusted as necessary.
  • Page 25 OIL SUPPLY 5-D Two Pipe Systems Where installations have the bottom of the tank below the oil burner pump a two pipe system is required. Ensure that valves and filters are not fitted in the return line as this must be unobstructed at all times. The oil burner pump should be set for two pipe operation as detailed in accompanying oil burner manufacturers manual, refer also to page seven of this manual - section 2E+F...
