The Keston C90 and C110 are supplied almost totally pre-assembled. Since the units use 100 mm Keston Composite pipe for the flue and air intake systems the boiler is packed in a single box without additional flue kit. All additional components are packed inside the boiler cabinet itself.

Safety footwear and gloves are recommended PPE when lifting this appliance - to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip. The C90 and C110 boilers can be fitted in compartments with very small clearances required around the appliance (refer to Section 2.1). Due consideration should therefore be given to access within the compartment for lifting and positioning.
Grundfos pumps within the appliance cabinet ensures the heat exchanger receives correct water flow when firing. The C90 and C110 are not high water content boilers and do not contain the metal mass, or water volume, of a cast iron or steel boiler. The boiler is of low mass and low water content and therefore responds faster when there is a call for heat.

It is not harmful to the waste disposal system and may be disposed of as normal waste water. The flue gases are piped in a 100 mm Keston Composite pipe. The temperature of the flue gases are usually around 5 C to 10 C above the temperature of the return water.
Keston Boilers Ltd declare that there are no substances harmful to health within the appliance or used during the production of the appliance. The C90 and C110 are intended for domestic and commercial EMC environments and on a governed G20 meter supply.

The Keston C90 and C110 can be located virtually anywhere desired provided that all regulations are complied with. Because of the boiler's compact size and venting flexibility, the installation is not limited to a boiler room setting.
Reduction in dynamic gas supply pressure will result in intermittent ignition failures. Ensure gas supply pipe work is adequately sized for the length of run from the meter to the boiler at a supply rate of 92kW for the C90 and 114kW for the C110 model.

Where thermal stores are to be used the thermal store supplier should be consulted as to the compatibility of the thermal store with a Keston C90 and C110. Thermal store units where the boiler directly heats an open vented thermal store are not suitable for use with the C90 or C110.
Page 15
The Keston C90 & C110 Although suitable for open vented systems with combined feed and vent arrangements, the C90 and C110 are low water content boilers. As such, any air entrainment within the system water will produce boiler “kettling”. It is therefore recommended, if in any doubt, to consider the use of sealed systems where possible.
Page 16
The hot water storage vessel must be of the indirect type. DIRECT CYLINDERS MUST NOT BE USED. Further guidance is provided in BS 1394. The Keston Spa range of stainless steel unvented cylinders are an ideal option for use with the Keston range. The Keston Spa range combine exceptional recovery times with durable, long life stainless steel construction and all associated controls.
Individual air supply and flue outlet pipes are used. The material used for flue outlet &/or air inlet must be Keston Composite Pipe of an internal diameter of not less than 100mm. Suitable pipe and fittings can be obtained from Keston Boilers Ltd via its appointed distributors.

Drain points, with suitable traps, must therefore be incorporated within the flue system at the base of vertical flue sections in excess of 8m, for 100mm Keston Composite pipe flue systems. These additional condensate drains must be run to discharge as Installation &...

Table 2.8.4 Minimum Flue Terminations & Air Inlet Dimensions The Keston C90 and C110, as with any condensing boiler, will generate a condensate “plume” from the flue terminal in all weather conditions. Consideration must therefore be given to the effect of this “plume” when selecting a location for the flue terminal.
However, the cupboard or compartment must not be used for storage. 2.11 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE Being a condensing boiler, the C90 and C110 are fitted with a condensate trap at the base of the heat exchanger and flue assembly, with facility to connect to a drain point underneath the appliance.
Remove all plastic debris and burrs when installing air intake piping. Plastic filings caused by cutting Keston Composite plastic pipe must not be allowed to be drawn into the combustion air blower. Prevent dust entering the air intake when cutting on building sites.
WD352/0/2003 Chapter 3 : Installation The Keston C90 & C110 whilst drilling. Under no circumstances must debris from the wall or cut pipes be allowed to enter the appliance or the plastic pipework. Drill the two holes in the wall/ceiling, preferably using a core drill.
It is essential that sludge or scale is removed from an existing system. The guarantee provided with the Keston does not cover damage caused by system debris or sludge. Connect the new boiler as instructed in this manual and fit in accordance with Sections 3.1 to 3.9...

WD352/0/2003 Chapter 3 : Installation The Keston C90 & C110 factors as soundness of the air and flue pipe joints, pressure sensible joints and the gas inlet pressure (20 mbar required). If all joints are sound and the gas inlet pressure is satisfactory set the gas pressure.
INITIAL FLUSHING All waterways within the Keston C90 and C110 are either copper, high alloy stainless steel or aluminium. As a result water treatment chemicals for central heating boilers such as Fernox MB1, Sentinel X100 or equivalent, are suitable. In any event reference must be made to BS 7593 : Treatment Of Water In Hot Water Central Heating Systems.

(CO ) levels will be between 8 & 8.2% (C90 low rate), 8.3 & 8.5% (C110 low rate), 8.2 & 8.7% (C90 high rate) and 8.6 & 9% (C110 high rate) and carbon oxide (CO) levels Installation & Servicing Instructions...
Page 27
The CO reading must be 8% to 8.2% for C90 and 8.3% to 8.5% for C110 with a corresponding CO level of 5 to 20 ppm for natural gas. THE CO2 LEVEL AT LOW RATE MUST ALWAYS BE LESS THAN THE CO2 LEVEL AT HIGH RATE.

5. FAULT FINDING ELECTRICAL CONTROL SEQUENCE The C90 and C110 feature digital displays to detail the operating status of each of the two modules contained in the boiler. When serving a demand signal on SL1 only both displays will show very similar temperatures (the last two digits) and matching status, allowing for a small delay between operation of each module.
Chapter 5 : Fault Finding The Keston C90 & C110 NORMAL OPERATION The C90 and C110 boilers feature a user display which shows actual flow temperature of each module at all times (the last two digits of the display) and a status number (the first digit) which identifies what the module is doing at any given time.
WD352/0/2003 Chapter 5 : Fault Finding The Keston C90 & C110 5.3.2 LOCKOUT If the fault is persistent or more severe the module will lockout with a error code. When the module has entered this error mode it will not attempt to restart until the “Reset” button is pressed.

It should be noted that setting the user controls to “Standby” does not isolate the electrical supply and parts of the boiler will remain live. Hazardous materials are not used in the construction of the C90 and C110. However, due care should be taken when handling boiler components.

WD352/0/2003 Chapter 6 : Servicing The Keston C90 & C110 If necessary clean the burner with a mild household detergent and rinse under a hot running tap. If necessary, from visual inspection, clean the heat exchanger using a suitable stiff plastic bristle brush, vacuum out any large particles and flush the heat exchanger with fresh water until the water flowing from the condensate drain is clear.
