COMMISSIONING

When commissioning the boiler, ensure the Benchmark Checklist at the back of these instructions is completed.
5.1
FILL THE SYSTEM
1.
The boiler is fitted with an automatic air ent positioned on the pump (see Fig. 34), ensure that the vent is always open.
2.
Open the central heating fl w and return valves (vertical slot in-line with valve) (see Fig. 13).
3.
Open the fill point alves on the filling loop until ater is heard to fl w.
4.
To remove the air - Vent each radiator in turn, starting with the lowest in the system.
5.
Vent air from the primary heat exchanger via the manual vent at the top left hand side (see Fig. 28).
6.
It is important that the pump is properly vented to avoid it running dry and damaging its bearings. Unscrew and remove the
cap from the centre of the pump. Using a suitable screwdriver rotate the exposed spindle about half a turn, then replace
the cap.
7.
Check the operation of the pressure relief valve (see Fig. 34) by turning the head anti-clockwise until it clicks. The click
is the valve lifting off its seat allowing water to escape from the system - check that this is actually happening.
8.
Continue to fill the system until the pressure gauge indicates 1.0 ba . Close the fill point alve and check the system for
water soundness, rectifying where necessary. Disconnect the filling loop from the mains suppl .
Water may be released from the system by manually opening the drain point (see Fig. 34) until the system design
pressure is obtained. The system design pressure (cold) should be between 0.75 and 1.25 bar.
Refer to Sections 3.8 and 3.9. Filling and Flushing the system.
9.
Open the cold water mains inlet valve (see Fig. 13). Turn on all hot water taps and allow water to fl w until no air is
present. Turn off taps.
10. Ensure that the condensate trap has been filled with ater. Refer to Section 4.5, paragraph 4.

With the boiler connected, pressure test the gas supply and inlet pipework connected to the boiler for tightness in
accordance with BS 6891.
2.
Loosen the gas inlet pressure test point screw on the gas valve (see Fig. 26) and purge in accordance with BS 6891.
3.
Retighten the test point screw and test for gas tightness. Close the boiler gas service cock.
