SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler or its
manufacture.
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.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.
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. A minimum working gas pressure
of 17.5mbar MUST be available at the boiler inlet.
Do not use pipes of smaller size than the burner inlet gas
connection.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged in accordance with the appropriate standards listed
above.
Low temperature hot water heating systems of
output greater than 45kW.
