4 Installation

4.1 Preparation

Remove draught diverter assembly, flueway baffles and fittings
pack from carton.

Check contents of fittings pack against packed list.

Remove back boiler body assembly from carton.

4.2 Water Connections

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT NO SERVICE PIPES
ARE ROUTED IN FRONT OF THE BOILER. If the builder’s
opening was previously used for solid fuel all pipework within
should be protected with PVC tape or equal. Pipework passing
through walls of the opening should be sleeved and made
good.

The two heat exchanger connections are supplied in the fittings
pack and MUST be used, see diagram 4.1.

NOTE: Take care when soldering the copper connections not
to damage the sealing washers.

4.3 Pumped Heating with Gravity Domestic
Hot Water

NOTE: The draught diverter assembly and capillaries are
shown to aid plumbing, but would not be fitted at this stage.

All pipework must comply with the current issue of BS5546.

The domestic hot water flow and return pipes must be 28mm.

Refer to diagrams 1.3 and 1.4 for a diagrammatic layout.

If it is necessary to route pipework from both sides of the
builder’s opening, it is recommended that the heat exchanger
is positioned on the combustion chamber so that the gravity
circuits exit on the same side as the boiler connections.

If the heat exchanger connections are opposite hand to that
required, the heat exchanger can be turned, as follows, remove
the four screws securing the heat exchanger to combustion
chamber, see diagram 4.2. Turn heat exchanger, refit the four
screws.

It is recommended that pumped heating connections are pre-
piped as in diagram 4.4.

Note: The diagram 4.4 shows two methods “A” and “B” of
plumbing the flow pipe.

The central heating return must have the injector fitted on both
methods “A” and “B”, see diagram 4.4 for fitting the injector.

4.4 Pumped Heating and Hot Water

NOTE: The draught diverter assembly and capillaries are
shown to aid plumbing, but would not be fitted at this stage.

Refer to diagram 1.5 for a diagrammatic layout.

If it is necessary to route pipework from both sides of the
builder’s opening it is recommended that the heat exchanger is
positioned on the combustion chamber such that the flow pipe
exits on the same side as the boiler connections.

It is recommended that the pumped return is pre-piped as in
diagram 4.3.

If the heat exchanger connections are opposite hand to that
required, turn in the same manner as described in Section 4.3
paragraph 6.
