Installation Requirements Safety Functions Location Frost Protection DANGER In CH, DHW, and Weather Compensation modes, frost protection The appliance must be fitted to a suitable wall to prevent fire is an integral function for protecting the appliance. This function and explosion. At the installation site, the flue that passes is the highest priority among the operation modes and this through the outside wall or roof must be routed properly in order to satisfactorily remove flue products.
Required Minimum Clearances Ventilation appliance. The following minimum clearances (mm) must be the appliance is installed. If it is installed in a cupboard or maintained for installing and servicing. compartment, permanent ventilation for cooling purposes is not required. Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5440 Part 2.
Of the above options, EHC recommends option 1 as the soap from the sink neutralizes the acidic condensate. If a sink waste is not abilable, EHC recommends options 2, 3, or 4. If permitted by local regulations, the condensate may be drained directly into the drain/gully.

Formula of Length Equivalency The minimum distances between the terminals and elements of the building are as per the following. This is the formula for sizing the pipes for the intake of the combustible air and the discharge of the combustion products. The Length equivalency (L eq) in these instructions are for the lengths of the pipes which share the same cross-sectional dimensions.

Mounting the Appliance on the Wall Mount the appliance on the wall using the following procedures. Mark the installation points for the flues and screws on the wall. Ensure that the points are both horizontally and vertically level. Make a hole for the flues (minimum diameter 116 mm). Drive the supplied anchor bolts for the bracket into the marked points (minimum diameter 13 mm).
Making the Gas Connection 11.1 Gas Piping Materials WARNING Before completing the gas pipe connection, ensure that WARNING the type of gas is suitable for the appliance. If you use a type of gas other than the one specified on the data plate on the Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891.
Check for gas leaks. Valve kit for external connections. Each boiler is supplied with an EHC Valve Kit for each external connection. Please refer to the installation instructions within the valve kit packaging.
Fitting the Water Pipes and Condensate Pipe WARNING Do not add anti-freez to the system as this may shorten the life of the appliance and cause malfunctions. Tighten the boiler connection valves with care to avoid damage. Before using this appliance, thoroughly flush the system (ensure the appliace is not connected) to remove any sediment and prevent the heat exchanger from being damaged by build-up or corrosion due to any sediment.
