These instructions are written for the installer of Strebel products and contain all necessary information on the installation and adjustment of S-CB Px 120 boilers. Please read these instructions fully before installation to en- sure that all work is carried out correctly.
This immediately improves the efficiency considerably. The S-CB Px 120 boiler is standard set for Natural Gas G20 Gases used must meet the European standard EN 437.
When using propane or butane, a special air restrictor kit is needed. See accessories list on page 13 and picture page 86. Below a table is given in which the min. and max. gas supply pressures are mentioned according to EN437 p nominal [mbar] p min [mbar] p max [mbar] S-CB Px 120 Manual...

INSTALLATION OF THE S-CB Px 120 5.1. General notes At both sides of the boiler at least 50 mm of clearance should be applied to walls or wall units, 350 mm above the top side of the boiler and enough distance from the bottom side of the boiler, so that the pump can be mounted here.
3. Lock boiler with locking plate and two bolts 1. Attach mounting bracket to wall with inclined side facing upwards 2. Suspend boiler with suspension bracket on mounting bracket 4. Level boiler using adjusting bolts Boiler suspension Detail boiler suspension S-CB Px 120 Manual...
Keep the connections fixed in place, as shown in the picture, by using two wrenches. 6.1.2. AS CONNECTION Always install a manual shutter valve in the gas supply line, directly underneath the boiler. NOTICE: This valve is NOT delivered with the boiler. S-CB Px 120 Manual...
When mounting the siphon, before commissioning the boiler and/or after maintenance, the siphon must ALWAYS be completely filled with water. This is a safety measure: the water in the siphon keeps the flue gases from leaking out of the heat exchanger via the condensate drain. S-CB Px 120 Manual...
The boiler pump must be controlled by the S-CB Px 20 boiler control. If, for any reason, an exter- • nal pump control is applied without written approval of Strebel Ltd, the complete warranty on the S-CB Px 120 boiler and all supplied parts will become invalid.
