SECTION 3 INSTALLATION External wiring to the water heater(s) must be installed in accordance with current I.E.E. ELECTRICAL Regulations for the wiring of buildings and to any Local Regulations that may apply. SUPPLY The Auto Ignition Heater is designed to operate from a 220/240V, 1Phase supply. The fuse rating is 5 amps.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION FLUE Your Andrews Water Heater is a Direct Fan Flued Gas Water Heater where all air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and all flue gases are charged to the SYSTEMS outside atmosphere. The flue system is a single coaxial (pipe within pipe) design where the flue products are discharged through the inside flue tube and the combustion air supply surrounds the flue surrounded by the outside pipe.
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 Installation Procedure HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL Determine location of flue exit. DIRECT FLUE 1. The supplied kit includes a horizontal (through the wall) flue terminal, an elbow, LENGTHS flue connector clamps and 2m (6.5ft) of coaxial flue pipe. The 150mm (6in) diameter flue system is also supplied with a 200mm (8in) to 150mm (6in) reducer for the waterheater flue connection.

INSTALLATION SECTION 3 FLUE INSTALLING THE FLUE TERMINAL SYSTEMS NOTE! The horizontal flue terminal supplied may be used through outside walls up to 600mm (24in) thick. 1. Horizontal flue Terminal (Through the Wall) supplied a) Cut an opening of at least 165mm (6.5in) diameter through the outside for the 58.7kWh input models or 216mm (8.5in) for the 88kWh and 105.6kWh input models.

SECTION 3 INSTALLATION FLUE 2. Vertical Flue Terminal (Through the Roof - Optional) a) Determine the exact location where the roof flue terminal will exit the roof, ensuring SYSTEMS the flue system clears all obstructions. For pitched roofs, the flue cap must be the distance above the roof line as specified, (300mm to base of Flue Clamp, minimum).

INSTALLATION SECTION 3 FLUE Straight End SYSTEMS (Ungasketed) Gasket End Ribs Locked Beneath Fig 8. Gasketed Clamp g) The last pipe section may be cut to fit the distance required to reach the water heater flue connections. First, install the supplied condensate trap with crimped end into the gasketed end of the elbow (horizontal flue installations) and clamp the condensate tee and elbow together.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION The following notes are intended to give guidance: AIR SUPPLY Where the heater is to be installed in a room, NO VENTS ARE REQUIRED. VENTILATION Where the heater is to be installed in a compartment, permanent air vents are required in the compartment at high and low level.
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 AIR SUPPLY IMPORTANT: 1. The effective area requirements specified in the table are related to the maximum heat VENTILATION input of of the heater(s), and are equivalent to those specified in BS6644. 2. The free area of the grilles should not be less than the size of the recommended ventilation opening.
These anodes are available as an optional extra on all Andrews heaters. In hard water areas, scale formation can occur in hot water systems and hot water heaters and the higher the temperature and volume of water used, the more problematic the scale build-up can be.
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 WATER The water heater must be fed from a cold water feed cistern or static water tank. CONNECTIONS A safety valve must be fitted as specified in BS 6644 Clause 9. VENTED SYSTEMS The safety valve must be fitted either directly to an upper tank tapping or not further than 1 metre along the outlet flow pipe of size not less than the safety valve.

WATER Unvented Systems should be fitted by an Approved Installer CONNECTIONS When used in an unvented system, the Andrews water Heater will supply hot water at a UNVENTED pressure of 3.5bar (51lbf/in ), provided that this pressure is available at the mains feed.
Page 29
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION WATER If higher flow rates are required for the cold water services, a suitable tee fitting should be fitted to the pipework, upstream of item C1. CONNECTIONS The pipework fitted to the tundish outlet should be one size larger than the outlet pipe of the safety device and should be terminated at a suitable drain.
COMMISSIONING SECTION 4 CAUTION! DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER UNTIL THE STORAGE VESSEL IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER, WITH WATER RUNNING FROM ALL HOT TAPS. Open the main gas supply cock after all connections to the gas control are completed and test all connections, using proprietary leak detection fluid.
SECTION 4 COMMISSIONING Shutting Off The Burner 1. For long periods only, (7 days or more) move electrical ON/OFF switch to OFF, then turn gas control knob to OFF. Turn off gas service cock. For shorter periods, leave heater under thermostat control. Gas control Knob Fig 13.
COMMISSIONING SECTION 4 USER'S SAFETY For your safety read before lighting the appliance. GUIDE WARNING 1. Always follow manufacturer's instructions when lighting the appliance. Failure to do so may result in damage to property, personal injury or loss of life. 2.
SECTION 5 OPERATION When properly installed and adjusted, the heater will require minimal attention. Should it become necessary to completely drain the heater, follow instructions given in Section 4, Commissioning. Whenever the heater is filled with cold water, condensation will form on the storage vessel surfaces when the burner is lit.
SERVICING SECTION 6 INTRODUCTION Servicing must be carried out by a properly qualified person. Whilst giving these instructions for the care of the Heater, it is recommended that checks are carried out by the installer or local gas authority, at least annually. Ensure good ventilation by keeping the heater free of extraneous materials and clear of dust and lint.
SECTION 6 SERVICING BURNER Annually, remove the main burner rack assembly to clean orifices and related parts of any dirt or other foreign matter. Inspect the burner ports for obstructions or debris and clean ASSEMBLY with a wire brush, vacuum, or use a mild detergent to clean as necessary. Inspect the pilot.
SERVICING SECTION 6 Check the condition and operation of this component at least once a year to ensure COMBINED it is free from limescale deposits. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats properly without leakage and operates freely.
SECTION 7 FAULT FINDING FAULT ACTION WATER DOES (a) Check gas service cock is open. NOT GET HOT (b) Check water valves are open. (c) Check thermostat setting. (reset to higher temperature) HEATER SOOTING, (a) Check gas burner. If possible, check heat input with meter YELLOW FLAME and watch.
