7.1 Loose Items Pack

Please check the contents of loose items pack as shown in

diagram 7.1.

The plumbing jig is located within the tank module polystyrene

top pack.

7.2 Site Requirements

The appliance should be sited on a level floor, however slight

adjustment can be made using the adjustable feet at the base

of the tank module.
The floor strength should be suitable for the combined weight

of appliance and water:

100sxi 175kg

170sxi 225kg

NOTE: Due to the varied site conditions we do not supply

fixings and advise that the installer should supply those which

are suitable.

7.3 Floor Template

Take the floor template from the loose items pack

and place

in the desired position on the floor, giving due consideration to

the required boiler clearances,

see diagram 2.1

, and the flue

you are fitting.
Mark the position of the flue centre, if fitting a side flue, extend

the flue centerline into the corner then along the adjacent wall,

see diagram 7.2.
For extended side flues, the flue hole centre should be

determined by extending the dashed inclined line on the

template to the side wall. This dashed line is drawn at 44mm/

metre (2.5°) rise from the boiler. Where this line reaches the

side wall, a horizontal line should be marked. The vertical

centre line of the flue should then be marked on the back wall.
To allow for the flue passing through the wall at this angle

a 125mm hole should be drilled irrespective of internal or

external installation.

7.4 Flue Hole Cutting

External access flue installation can use a 105mm diameter

core drill.
Internal access only flue installation will need a 125mm

diameter core drill.
NOTE: The flue is designed with an internal fall of 44mm/

metre (2.5°), therefore the hole can be drilled horizontally.
If flue extension pipes are to be used then a core drill size of

125mm is required. This will allow the extension pieces to

slope at 44mm/metre (2.5°) towards the boiler.

7.5 Plumbing Jig

Align the template with the flue hole then mark the position of

the fixing holes for the jig, see diagram 7.3.
Align the location notches on the jig and secure to the floor

using suitable screws.
