Flue Installation; Gas Supply; Air Supply; Water Circulation System - IDEAL HE24 Installation And Servicing

Compartment Installations
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' for details).
! The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
! For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be
used without prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a CORGI registered engineer. In IE by a competent person.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required.
N.B. The principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures that the isar
range is able to deliver its full output at inlet pressures
well below those required by BS. 6891.
IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891.
InIE refer to IS.813:2002. Pipework from the meter to the boiler
MUST be of an adequate size, i.e. no longer than 20m and not
less than 15mm O.D.
Terminal Position
1. Directly below or alongside an
opening window, air brick or other
ventilation opening
2. Below guttering, drain pipes or soil
pipes
3. Below eaves
4. Below balconies or a car port roof
5. From vertical drain pipes or soil pipes
6. From an internal or external corner or
to a boundry along side the terminal.
7. Above adjacent ground, roof or
balcony level
8. From a surface or a boundry
facing the terminal
9. From a terminal facing a terminal
10. From an opening in a car port
(e.g. door or window) into dwelling
11. Vertically from a terminal on the
same wall
12. Horizontally from a terminal on the wall

GENERAL
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.

FLUE INSTALLATION

Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where
this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2000.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
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.
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.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC flue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In case
of difficulty contact:
Grasslin (UK) Ltd.
Tower House, Vale Rise
Tonbridge. Kent TN9 1TB
Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to
prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the
boiler MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible
material. Detailed recommendations on the protection of
combustible material are given in BS. 5440-1:2000.
IMPORTANT. It is absolutely essential to ensure, in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural
air infiltration, or forced ventilation / air conditioning.
If this should occur the appliance MUST be turned OFF,
Minimum Spacing
labelled as 'unsafe' until corrective action can be taken.
TERMINAL
300 mm (12")
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate
various wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 12 .
75 mm ( 3")

AIR SUPPLY

200 mm ( 8")
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
200 mm ( 8")
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither is
150 mm ( 6")
it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the
boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of the
boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements of BS
300 mm ( 12")
6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
300 mm (12")

WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM

IMPORTANT.
600 mm (24")
A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
1200 mm (48")
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
1200 mm (48")
The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
1500 mm (60")
systems, BS.5449.
300 mm (12")
