  • Page 11 System Details - Page 11 Gravity Systems When the boiler is to be installed to an existing or new gravity domestic hot water and pumped central heating system, the following considerations should be given to the design of the gravity domestic hot water flow and return pipes.

  • Page 12: Site Requirement

    Site Requirements - Page 12 Location The appliance may be fitted to any suitable wall with the flue passing through an outside wall and discharging to atmosphere in a position permitting satisfactory removal of combustion products and providing an adequate air supply. The appliance should be fitted within the building unless other-wise protected by a suitable enclosure ie.
  • Page 13 Site Requirements - Page 13 WARNING If a terminal is less than 2 metres (78¾ in) above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to which people have access then a suitable terminal guard must be provided. Terminal Position with Minimum Distance Directly below an openable window or other opening, e.g.
  • Page 14 Site Requirements - Page 14 Ventilation of Compartments Where the appliance is installed in a cupboard or compartment, air vents are required (for cooling purposes) in the cupboard or compartment at high and low level which may communicate with a room or direct to outside air. Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in BS 5440: Part 2.
  • Page 15 Installation - Page 15 Initial Preparation Unpack the contents of carton leaving the combustion box and mounting plate assembled on the base tray. Place the outer case in a safe place until required. Detach the fixing template from the packaging. Remove the two wing nuts securing the combustion box to the mounting plate.
  • Page 16 Installation - Page 16 Flue Preparation Unpack flue duct, flue trim and air duct. Measure overall wall thickness. If this is between 280mm (11 in) and 355mm (14in), use flue as supplied without alteration. For wall thickness between 102mm (4in) and 280mm (11 in), air duct and flue duct are required to be shortened.
  • Page 17 Installation - Page 17 Fitting the Wall Mounting Plate Secure plate to wall using 63mm (2½ in) screws. From outside building, pass air duct through wall opening. The two tabs should be positioned at the bottom. Slide air duct over inner duct until tabs contact wall surface. Ensure air duct is horizontal and square to wall face.
  • Page 18 Installation - Page 18 Fitting the Flue Duct Fit flue trim over air duct. Slide flue duct inside air duct to engage flue duct on boiler, noting correct positioning as labelled. Secure flue duct, flue trim to air duct with four screws provided in the kit.
  • Page 19 Installation - Page 19 Terminal Guard When codes of practice dictate the use of terminal guards, they can be obtained from most plumbers and builders merchants nationwide. When ordering a terminal guard, quote the appliance model number. The guard manufacturers listed below can be contacted for terminal sizes and guard model numbers.
  • Page 20 Installation - Page 20 Fitting the Boiler When the boiler is to be used on a system with gravity D.H.W. it is necessary to disconnect the overheat thermostat by removing the wire with the black sleeve and attaching it to the wire with the red sleeve as shown.
  • Page 21 Installation - Page 21 Water Connections The boiler is supplied ready for fully pumped and sealed systems. The boiler has 2 connection tails to accept capillary or compression fittings:- 22mm tail marked F for Flow. 22mm tail marked R for Return. Pipe Routes Pipework should be routed to the back plate.
  • Page 22 Installation - Page 22 Gravity Hot Water System For gravity domestic hot water and pumped central heating system, connect tee supplied in kit to the tail marked R. Ensure that the injector washer is positioned correctly as shown. Failure to fit the injector washer will result in reverse circulation in the D.H.W.
  • Page 23 Installation - Page 23 Electrical Supply The electrical supply for this Solo 2 RS depends on the design of the central heating system i.e. Gravity DHW and Pumped Central Heating - 3 core cable. Fully Pumped, Open Vented with rising primaries - 4 core cable.
  • Page 24 Installation - Page 24 Loosen the securing screw sufficiently for the electrical cover to be removed from the thermostat box. Bare back the input cable to the dimensions shown. Fit the electrical input cable as follows: Connect the switched live to the terminal marked S/L. Connect the permanent live to the terminal marked P/L.
  • Page 25 Installation - Page 25 FOR GRAVITY D.H.W. AND PUMPED C. H. When the boiler is to be used on a system with gravity D.H.W. ensure that the overheat thermostat has been disconnected as shown. The overheat thermostat is now by-passed and will allow the appliance to perform satisfactorily on gravity circulation.
