6 Boiler description
The ATAG iC is a room sealed, condensing and modulating CH boiler equipped with an integrated hot water
supply.
The boiler is equipped with a compact stainless steel heat exchanger with smooth pipes. It is a well thoughtout principle using sustainable materials.
The boiler burns natural gas to supply heat (LPG conversion kits available). This heat is transferred in
the heat exchanger to the water in the CH installation. The rapid cooling off of the fl ue gases causes
condensation. This results in a very high effi ciency. The condensate that is formed, has no negative impact
on the heat exchanger and it's operation, and is removed through the internal siphon. This feature requires a
condensate drain pipe connected to the drain of the building.
The boiler is equipped with an intelligent control system. The boiler anticipates on the heat demand of the
heating installation or hot water demand. This will cause the boiler to tune its capacity to the installation. This
means that the boiler will function longer and at a low level.
If an outside sensor is connected, the control system is able to function, depending on the weather. This
means that the control system measures the outside temperature and the fl ow water temperature. On the
basis of this information the control system calculates optimum fl ow water temperature required for the
installation.
The boiler has been tested according to valid CE standards and has a CE certifi cate and >88% Effi cient
SEDBUK 2009.
10
Statement: No banned materials including asbestos, mercury, CFC's have or will not be included in
the product.
Install the boiler in a boiler room in accordance to the actual local regulations BS5440-2:2009.
The installation location of the boiler has to be, and remain, frost-free. The boiler casing is splash water tight
(IPX4D) and is suitable to be installed in e.g. a bathroom.
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler is
installed. Neither is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the boiler is installed, due
to the extremely low surface temperature of the boiler casing during operation. Therefore the requirements of
BS5440:2 may be disregarded.
The boiler can be mounted practically to any wall with the wall frame and the enclosed fi xing equipment. The
wall must be fl at and of suffi cient strength in order to be able to carry the boiler weight with its water content.
Above the boiler there must be at least 210 mm working space in order to be able to fi t a horizontal
concentric fl ue system to the rear (See chapter 9.8 for more fl ue options). Make sure there is suffi cient
service space around the boiler according fi gure 8.a. The location of the boiler can be determined by using
the template.
The wall frame allows the possibility to pre-fi t the complete heating and DHW system before fi tting the boiler.
Also the fl ue system can be prepared. Finally fi tting of the fl ue system is done after fi tting the boiler. See next
page for all options for connection the heating, DHW, condensate, fl ue and gas installation.
Before hanging the boiler to the boiler frame remove the front panel of the boiler fi rst. The front panel is also
the air cabinet and is attached to the boiler case with 2 fasteners (A and B) (see fi gure 8.a).
Note that there is an earth cable (when present) to disconnect when removing the boiler front panel.
Free space for removing the connector is about 400 mm. Remember to connect this earth cable
(when present) when placing back the boiler front panel and take care the wire does not get stuck
between front panel and boiler. Always replace and turn the 2 screws tight in the fasteners A and B.
Service dimensions (in mm) Figure 8.a
See chapter 9.8 for further procedure to fi t the boiler onto the boiler frame.
- Position the boiler frame against the wall using the template and a level.
- Use the level for horizontal positioning and checking the vertical position.
- Drill 4x ø10mm holes, 60mm deep
- Press the nylon wall plug (ø10x55mm) in the holes
- Mount the boiler frame to wall with the 4 coach screws (ø8x60mm) using a 13mm wrench
The boiler frame allows pipe work to be installed behind the boiler.
Note that there are free spaces on the left and right of the expansion vessel. Do not guide pipe work
in front of the expansion vessel. The pipe work must be installed at least 10mm inside the front of the
frame.

The boiler is provided with isolation valves on the fl ow and return pipe to which the installation can be
connected by means of 22mm compression fi ttings;
- The gas pipe.
The boiler is provided with an isolation gas valve to which the gas line can be fi tted with 22mm
compression fi tting;
- The condensation drain pipe.
It consists of a 25mm fl exible plastic pipe. The drain pipe can be connected to this by means of an open
connection;
- The fl ue gas exhaust system and air supply system.
It consists of a concentric connection 60/100 mm.
- Cold and hot water pipes.
The boiler is provided with a isolation valve on the cold water inlet. The DHW installation can be
connected by means of 15mm compression fi ttings.
See following chapters for detailed information regarding each connection.
It is advisable to clean all of the boiler’s connecting pipes and/or to power fl ush the installation
before connecting it to the boiler.
9.1 Central heating system
Connect the central heating system according to the current regulations.
The boiler pipes can be connected to the installation by means of 22mm compression fi ttings. For connecting
to thick-walled pipe (welded or fi tted), adapters should be used.
The boiler has a self-adjusting and self-protecting control system for the load. This involves checking the
temperature diff erence between the fl ow and return water. Table 9.1.a shows the water displacement the
circulation pump can deliver for a particular installation resistance.
If the installation resistance is higher than the value stated, the control system will adjust the load until a
temperature diff erence between fl ow and return water is reached that is acceptable for the control system.
When the temperature diff erence still remains too high the boiler will switch itself off and wait until the high
temperature diff erential between the fl ow and return water has decreased again.
Pump typeGrundfos UPM3 15-75
iC 24iC 28iC36iC 40iC Economiser Plus 27iC Economiser Plus 35iC Economiser Plus 39
The control system will, if an unacceptable temperature diff erence is detected, repeatedly try to establish a
water fl ow. If this does not succeed, the boiler will block itself (code 154).
The boiler is NOT equipped with a built-in internal fi lter.
Advice: ATAG Heating Technology Ltd recommend the installation of an in-line fi lter installed into the
heating return as close to the boiler as possible. ATAG Heating Technology Ltd recommend the use
of the:
ATAG iGuard Magnetic fi lter 22mm (Plastic) FC000100, (Brass) FC000200, 28mm (Brass) FC000250.
The boiler is not suitable for installations that are equiped with “open” expansion tanks.
Additives in the installation water are only permitted in consultation with the country distributor. See
chapter 9.3 for detailed information.
9.2 Expansion vessel
The iC boilers are featured with a built-in expansion vessel with a capacity of 8 litres and a pre-pressure
charge 1 bar. If the expansion vessel size is insuffi cient for the CH system, an additional expansion must be
installed. The additional expansion vessel should, together with the built-in expansion vessel, be sized to the
water content of the installation. The pre-pressure charge depends on the height of the installation above the
installed expansion vessel. See Table 9.2.a.
The (additional) expansion vessel should be connected as closely as possible in the return pipe near
the boiler.

The pressure relief valve outlet is combined with the condensate outlet (see fi gure 9.9.e on page 29).
table 9.2.a
9.3 Water quality
Fill the installation with mains cold water.
In most cases, a heating system can be fi lled with water according to national standards for water and
treatment of this water is not necessary.
In order to avoid problems with the CH-installations, the quality of the fi lling water has to meet the
specifi cations mentioned in table 9.3.a:
If the fi lling water does not meet the required specifi cations, you are advised to treat the water to such an
extent that it does meet the required specifi cations.
The warranty becomes invalid, if the installation is not being fl ushed and/or the quality of the fi lling
water does not meet the specifi cations recommended by ATAG Heating Technology Ltd. Always
contact ATAG Heating Technology Ltd in advance, if things are not clear or you wish to discuss any
deviations. Without approval, the warranty becomes invalid.
Installation:
- The use of groundwater, demi-water and distilled water is prohibited. (on the next page you will fi nd an
explanation of these defi nitions)
- If the mains water quality meets the specifi cations mentioned in table 9.3.a, you can start fl ushing the
installation before installing the device.
- Whilst fl ushing, corrosion products (magnetite), fi tting products, cutting oil and other undesirable products
have to be removed.
- Another possibility is to remove the pollution by installing a fi lter. The fi lter type has to fi t the type and
grain size of the pollution. ATAG Heating Technology Ltd recommends fi lter usage.
- In this case, the whole piping system should be taken into consideration.
- The CH-installation has to be properly vented before using the system. For that purpose, we refer to the
commissioning chapter.
- If a regular water top up is required (>5% on an annual basis), then there is a structural problem and
an installer has to solve the problem. Regularly adding fresh water to the system also adds additional
calcium and oxygen implying that magnetite and calcium residues can continue. The result may be
blockages and/or leakages.
- The use of anti-freeze and other additives requires periodical quality checks of the fi lling water in
accordance with the period laid down by the additives supplier.
- Chemical additions are to be avoided and should only be used after ATAG Heating Technology Ltd has
approved their corresponding use.
- Should you wish to achieve the required water quality by using chemical additives, then this is your own
responsibility. The warranty on the product delivered by ATAG Heating Technology Ltd expires, if the
water quality does not meet ATAG Heating Technology's specifi cations or the chemical additives have not
been approved by ATAG Heating Technology Ltd.
- On installation and during additions or changes at a later stage, ATAG Heating Technology Ltd
recommends to keep a record of the type of water used, its quality at the time, and if applicable, which
additives and quantities were added.

Demi-water: Virtually completely demineralised water (very low conductivity)
Distilled water: Water no longer containing minerals.
When connecting or using an underfl oor heating system, designed with plastic pipes, or plastic pipes are
used elsewhere in the installation, one should ensure that the plastic pipes used comply with the DIN
4726/4729 standard. It is set out in this standard that the pipes may not have oxygen permeability higher
than 0.1 g/m³.d at 40°C. If the system does not comply with this DIN standard, the underfl oor heating
component will have to be separated from the central heating appliance by means of a plate exchanger.
No recourse can be made to the terms of the warranty in the event of failure to observe the
regulations pertaining to plastic underfl oor heating pipes.
9.5 Gas connection in general
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.
ATAG supplies boilers suitable for natural gas only. Verify the identifi cation plate on the boiler if the
boiler is suitable for the gas kind on site.
For use with propane gas, the LPG conversion kit has to be installed, see separate conversion
instructions.
Make sure that the gas pipe work does not contain dirt, particularly with new pipes.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness and purged as described in the above
code.
The boiler connection is provided with an isolation valve with 22mm compression fi tting, into which the gas
line can be fi tted.
9.5.1 Natural gas connection (NG)
The gas supply must comply to the current Gas Safety, Installation & Use Regulations, in accordance with
BS.6891.
The nominal inlet working gas pressure measured at the appliance should be 21 mbar +/- 2 mbar for Nat
gas (G20). Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1 mbar across the installation pipework, it can
be assumed that a minimum permitted operating pressure of 18 mbar will be delivered to the inlet of the
appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2 Pressure Absorption). When tested at the gas valve, the
pressure drop from the meter to the gas valve must not be more than 4 mbar.
9.5.2 Propane gas connection (LPG)
For use with propane gas, the LPG conversion kit has to be installed, see separate conversion instructions.
The LPG installation must comply to the current Gas Safety, Installation & Use Regulations, in accordance
with BS:6891
Installing of a LPG installation should only be done by a registered LPG installer.
The tank must be provided with a high pressure regulator with a minimum capacity of 24 kg/h to reduce
the tank pressure from 5 to 1.5 bar. The 1.5 bar high pressure gas line should have a minimum diameter of
15mm. In the high pressure gas line a house pressure regulator must be installed. When tested at the gas
valve, the pressure drop from the pressure regulator to the gas valve must not be more than 3.8 mbar.
Each gas appliance which is connected to the propane installation must be provided with its own
house pressure regulator. The house pressure regulator is a third party delivery.
The house pressure regulator must have a minimum capacity of 10 kg/h / 37 mbar and a CE certifi cation.
ATAG advices to install the house pressure regulator as close as possible to the boiler. When placing the
regulator inside, a discharge drain of ø6mm must be installed. The discharge drain must be directed outdoor.
In case of a discharge the gasses will go outside.
If fi tting the regulator outside the regulator should be protected against infl uences of the weather. The (de-)
aeration must be positioned downwards (see fi gure 9.5.3.a).
ATAG advices to install measure points on all gas line parts to have the possibility to check for pressure loss.
example propane installation fi gure 9.5.3.a
Pre-pressure must be adjusted to 37 mbar by means of the house pressure regulator. The maximum
permitted closing pressure may be 5 mbar higher than the maximum pre-pressure.
A too high closing pressure in the low pressure gas line can be caused by a high resistance or jam in this gas
line. When the closing pressure keeps increasing the valve in the regulator is not closing correctly. In this
case the regulator should be replaced.
9.5.4 Dimensioning of the low pressure gas line
The gas line from the house pressure regulator to the boiler must have the dimensions according the table
below.

9.5.5 De-aerating the LPG tank
When placing a new or revised LPG tank the tank must always be de-aerated.
ATAG advices to inform the gas supplier that a central heating boiler is connected to the LPG tank. For the
boiler it is absolutely necessary that the tank is free of air. When not the boiler will give ignition problems and
will not function.
ATAG advices to measure the content of O2 . This value should be lower than 1.3%. Contact the gas
supplier in case of doubt.
Connection of the drinking water installation should be done according to the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations and Scottish Water Byelaws.
The ATAG iC boiler is fi tted with a stainless steel plate heat exchanger for producing domestic hot water. The
boiler does not have a hot water store and in case of a demand for hot water the boiler will heat the domestic
water fl owing through the plate heat exchanger up to 60°C (adjustable) instantaneous.
The water mains installation must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Scottish
Water Byelaws. See also chapter 9.3.
In regions with a water hardness value higher than 200ppm (2.67 mmol/l), calcium deposits should
be removed from the plate heat exchanger on a regular basis. If problems occur when using sanitary
water with a chlorine content higher than 150 mg/l, no recourse can be made to the terms of the
warranty.
In order to prevent calcifi cation ATAG recommends applying a water softener.
ATAG recommends the use of for instance AlphaPhos for cleaning plates exchangers.
The hardness of the water is variable in the United Kingdom. The water company can provide exact
information about this.
The domestic water installation can be connected to the boiler by means of 15mm compression fi ttings.
If the mains is fi tted with water meter, check valves or loose jumper stop cock, then a DHW expansion device
must be fi tted.
The boiler is provided with a DHW fl ow restrictor. The fl ow restrictor ensures that a quantity of water supplied
has a guaranteed temperature of 60 °C (assuming a cold water temperature of 10°C). The amount of water
is virtually unaff ected by the water pressure.
After installation, check the hot water fl ow rate with a fully opened hot water tap,
If required the fl ow restrictor can be removed. See chapter 16.1.
9.7 Condensation drain pipe
The ATAG condensing boiler has the >88% Effi cient SEDBUK 2009 for high energy effi ciency in heating and
domestic hot water. The ATAG wall hung gas fi red condensing boiler contain a siphonic condensate trap to
collect and realease condensate. The amount of condensate formed is determind by the type of boiler and
the water temperature produced by the boiler.
Condensate pipework.
Use plastic pipework of an internal diameter no less then 19mm ID (typically 22mm OD).
Routing of the pipework,
The condensate pipework must fall at least 45mm per metre away from the boiler, taking the shortest
practicle route to the termination point.
Support the pipe at least every 50 cm for near horizontal sections and 1 metre for vertical sections.
Wherever possible, the condensate pipework should be routed internally to prevent freezing. In order to
minimise the risk of freezing during prolonged very cold spells, one of the following methods of terminating
condensate drainage pipe should be adopted.
Internal pipework
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be terminated at a suitable internal foul water
discharge point such as (a) an internal soil and vent stack or (b) an internal kitchen or bathroom waste pipe,
washing machine waste pipe etc. A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.
Figures 9.7.1, 9.7.2(a), 9.7.2(b) show appropriate connection methods.
The possibility of waste pipes freezing downstream of the connection point should be considered when
determining a suitable connection point - e.g. a slightly longer pipe run to an internal soil stack may be
preferable to a shorter run connecting into a kitchen waste pipe discharging directly through the wall to an
external drain.
Where “gravity discharge” to an internal termination is not physically possible (e.g. the discharge point is
above the appliance location, or access is obstructed by a doorway), or where very long internal pipe runs
would be required to reach a suitable discharge point, the following measures may be adopted.

Use of a condensate pump (to an internal termination):
Condensate can be removed using a proprietary condensate pump (third party delivery), of a specifi cation
recommended by the pump manufacturer. Condensate pump suitable for combined pressure relief valve.
The pump outlet should discharge to a suitable internal foul water discharge point, such as (a) an internal soil
and vent stack or (b) an internal kitchen or bathroom waste pipe, washing machine waste pipe etc. Figure
9.7.3 shows a typical connection method.
A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used and the manufacturer’s detailed
installation instructions for the pump should be followed.
External pipework
The use of an externally-run condensate drainage pipe, terminating at a suitable foul water discharge point
or purpose-designed soakaway, may be also be considered; however if this termination method is chosen
then the following measures should be adopted
- The pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going externally and the pipe diameter should
be increased to a minimum of 30mm ID (typically 32mm OD) before it passes through the wall.
- The external run should be kept as short as possible, taking the most direct and “most vertical” route
possible to the discharge point, with no horizontal sections in which condensate might collect. Do not
exceed 3 metres outside the dwelling.
- The external pipe should be insulated using suitable waterproof and weatherproof insulation (“Class O”
pipe insulation is suitable for this purpose) .
- The use of fi ttings, elbows etc should be kept to a minimum and any internal “burrs” on cut pipework
should be removed so that the internal pipe section is as smooth as possible.
The customer/householder should be advised that even with the above measures this type of installation
could freeze, and that if this were to occur then boiler shutdown could result, requiring remedial action possibly involving a chargeable engineer call-out.
Where there are likely to be extremes of temperature or wind-chill, the use of a proprietary trace-heating
system for external condensate drainage pipework, incorporating an external frost thermostat, should
therefore be considered. If such a system is used then the installation instructions of the trace heating
manufacturer and any specifi c recommendations regarding pipe diameter, insulation, etc. should be followed.
All other relevant guidance on condensate drainage pipe installation should also be followed.
Other cold weather protection methods approved or endorsed by boiler manufacturers and/or service
organisations may be adopted if these are considered suitable by the parties involved.
If an external soil/vent stack is used as the external termination then the connection method shown in Figure
9.7.4 should be used, together with the measures on insulation etc. as described above and shown in the
diagram.
When a rain water downpipe is used as the termination (NB only permissible if this downpipe passes to
a combined foul and rainwater drainage system) an air break must be installed between the condensate
drainage pipe and the downpipe to avoid reverse fl ow of rainwater into the boiler should the downpipe itself
become fl ooded or frozen. Figure 9.7.5 shows a suitable connection method.
Where the condensate drainage pipe is terminated over an open foul drain or gully, the pipe should terminate
below the grating level, but above water level, in order to minimise “wind chill” at the open end. Pipe drainage
will be improved if the end is cut at 45° as opposed to a straight cut. The use of a drain cover (such as
those used to prevent blockage by leaves) may off er further protection from wind chill. Figure 9.7.6 shows a
suitable connection method.
Where the condensate drain pipe terminates in a purpose-designed soakaway (see BS 6798:2014 or boiler
installation manual for soakaway design requirements) any above-ground section of condensate drainage
pipe should be run and insulated as described above. Figure 9.7.7 shows a suitable connection method.
Unheated internal areas:
Internal condensate drainage pipes run in unheated areas such as lofts, basements and garages should be
treated as external pipe.
Draining of the condensation water to the external rain guttering is not permitted in view of the
danger of freezing.
Before putting the boiler into operation fi ll the siphon with 150 ml of water.

The fl ue gas exhaust system and air supply system consists of:
- Flue gas pipe;
- Air supply pipe;
- Roof or wall terminal.
The fl ue gas exhaust system and air supply system must comply with:
The fl ue gas outlet and air supply installation must comply with the current regulation requirements in
accordance with BS:5440 Part 1 and 2.
The ATAG iC boiler as described in this manual is NOT suitable for a combined fl ue system.
The appliance concentric connection diameter is 60/100 mm, to which the fl ue gas outlet and air supply
system can be fi tted, with or without elbow pieces. The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in Table
9.8.2.a.
For further information about the available components of the fl ue gas and air supply system we recommend
you consult the Flue system literature. Combinations with other brands or systems are, without written
permission from ATAG Heating, not permitted.
The ATAG fl ue gas system is meant, and designed, solely for the use on ATAG central heating boilers
adjusted to Nat gas or LPG. For this purpose the CE Certifi cate has been supplemented under the Gastec
nr: 0063CQ3634 The maximum fl ue gas temperatures are below 70°C (full load 80/60°C).
The proper operation may be adversely infl uenced by changes of or adjustments to the correct set up.
Possible warranty claims will not be honoured if incorrect changes result in non compliance with the
installation manual or local rules and regulations.

intake and the fl ue gas
outlet are in the same
pressure area.
The terminal should be located where dispersal of combustion products is not unimpeded and with due
regard for the damage or discolouration that might occur to parts of the building in the vicinity (see fi g
9.8.1.c).
In certain weather conditions condensation may also accumulate on the outside of the air inlet pipe. Such
conditions must be considered and where necessary insulation of the inlet pipe may be required.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the fl ue terminal. The eff ect of such
‘plumeing’ must be considered.
The terminal must not be located in a place where it is likely to cause a nuisance, where the terminal is less
than 2m (6.6ft) above a pavement or platform to which people have access (including) any balcony or fl at
roof. The terminal must be protected by a guard of durable material.
Where a terminal is fi tted below a window which is hinged at the top, and where the hinge axis is
horizontal, and the window opens outwards, the terminal shall be 1m below the bottom of the window
opening.
The fl ue must be terminated in a place not likely to cause a nuisance.
For horizontal fl ue terminal direct to the rear or side through the wall (only 1 bend
and 1 wall terminal) the terminal should be placed horizontal. The fl ue pipe inside
the terminal is fi tted in a 3 degrees angle to ensure the condensation water can run
back to the boiler. See fi gure 9.8.1.a.
For longer horizontal sections, the outlet system should always be fi tted on an
incline (52 mm/m = 3°) sloping down towards the boiler so that no condensation
water is able to accumulate in the outlet system. The chances of icicles forming on
the outlet is minimised by causing the condensation water to run back towards the
boiler. See fi gure 9.8.1.b.

Notes:
1. In addition, the terminal should not be nearer than 150mm to the framework of an opening into the building, i.e. a window surround or door surround.
2. This clearance may be reduced to 25mm without eff ecting the performance of the boiler. However, to ensure the condensate plume does not aff ect adjacent
surfaces a clearance of 300mm is preferable.
3. These clearances may be reduced to 25mm without eff ecting the performance of the boiler. However, to ensure the condensate plume does not aff ect adjacent
surfaces the terminal can be extended beyond gutters, pipes, eaves, balconies etc.
4. To reduce the possibility of nuisance to neighbouring buildings etc. it is recommended the terminal should not be less than 2500mm from car parking spaces,
building boundary walls, fences etc.
5. A terminal must not be sited under a car port roof.
6. In certain weather conditions the terminal will emit a plume of steam. If possible avoid positioning the terminal where this may cause a nuisance, i.e. positions A,
D, G, H, J or M.
7. The fl ue terminal must be exposed to the external air and the position must allow the free passage of air across it at all times.
8. A terminal must not be sited below 2m where people have access to, such as public footpaths, access routes, patios etc. However, If the terminal is fi tted less
than 2m above a surface where there is no public access, the terminal must be protected by a terminal guard.
The appliance produces a white wisp of condensate (plumeing). This wisp of condensation is harmless, but
can be unattractive, particularly in the case of outlets in outside walls.
For wall terminals a plume management kit is available as an option (see fi g. 9.8.1.d).

Notes:
1. See also Notes on previous page.
2. Plume kits running horizontally must have a 10° fall back to the boiler for proper disposal of condensate.
3. For details on specifi c lengths see relevant chapter Dimensioning of the fl ue gas and air intake duct.
4. A terminal must not be sited under a car port roof.
9.8.2 Dimensioning of the fl ue gas and air intake duct
The total length of the run of the fl ue is determined by the fl ue diameter, including for the connection pipe,
elbows fi ttings and terminal covers etc..
An incorrect dimensioned fl ue system can lead to disorders. Look at table 9.8.2.a for the choice of the boiler
and the corresponding maximum equivalent fl ue length.
Explanation table 9.8.2.a:
Concentric fl ue gas system:
maximum noted length L = distance between boiler (from elbow or vertical adapter) and the end of terminal
When using bends the noted value behind every bend should be deducted from the maximum straight
length. See example.

Fitting the fl ue
Note: If it is required to cut an extension, DO NOT cut the end of the inner duct that incorporates the seal
joint.
Ensure the inner duct end without the seal joint is cut so that it is fl ush with the outer duct.
Ensure that all cuts are square and free from burrs.
Once assembled with the components pushed home, the fl ue is fully sealed.
1. Adjust the telescopic fl ue and secure with sealing tape supplied or cut the fi xed length terminal fl ue to the
required length.
2. Fit the fl ue to the extensions (if required) by locating the inner duct into the seal joint and push fully home
the inner and outer duct.
3. When connecting the horizontal fl ue terminal length ensure the terminal end outlet is at the uppermost
part of the fl ue.
4. Pass the terminal fl ue assembly through the wall.
5. Fit the bend to the boiler turret.
6. If the inside sealing collar (white) is being used, then it will need to be fi tted before assembling the fl ue
and making good the inside wall.
7. Pull the fl ue assembly towards the bend, locating the inner duct into the seal joint on the bend and secure
the fl ue assembly to the bend by pushing fully home (Outer fl ue duct must be seen through the small
inspection hole to confi rm fully home).
8. Make good the outside wall and fi t the outside sealing collar onto the location provided immediately
behind the fl ue terminal grille.
When mounting the fl ue gas system, pay attention to the fl ow direction (See
fi gure 9.8.2.b). It is not permitted to mount a system upside down and will lead to
complaints.
Use a soap solvent or special grease (supplied in the accessory bag with the
boiler) to simplify the fi tting.
The ATAG fl ue system used is a push fi t fl ue system, which does not require
screws to be fi tted at each fl ue joint.
The fl ue system must be adequately supported at regular intervals between
brackets of no more than 1.0 metres for horizontal sections and no more than
After the pipe work of gas, heating installation and DHW installation has been fi tted to the boiler frame, the
boiler can be placed on the boilerframe.
Before hanging the boiler to the boiler frame remove fi rst the cover of the boiler fi rst. The cover is also the air
cabinet and is attached to the boiler case with 2 fasteners (A and B) (see fi gure 8.a).
Note that there is an earth cable (when present) to disconnect when removing the cover from the
boiler. Free space for removing the connector is 400mm. Remember to connect this earth cable
(when present) when replacing the cover.
Always replace and turn the 2 screws tight in the fasteners A and B after replacing the cover.
Remove furthermore the 6 plastic caps from the boiler connections.
When removing the plastic sealing caps from the pipes, contaminated testing water may be released.
Lift the boiler only by the boilers case.
Lifting and carrying precautions:
- Lift only a manageable weight, or ask for help.
- When lifting the boiler, bend the knees, and keep the back straight and feet apart.
- Do not lift and twist at the same time.
- Lift and carry the boiler close to the body.
- Wear protective clothing and gloves to protect from any sharp edges.

The central heating installation needs to be fi lled with potable water according to the requirements in chapter
9.3 'Water quality'. For fi lling or topping up the installation use the fi lling loop according to the following
procedure (see fi gure 11.a):
1 Attach the fi lling loop pipe to the fi lling loop assembly (between position 1 and 2);
2 Open the fi lling loop valves A and B;
3 Slowly fi ll the central heating system up to 1.0 – 1.2 bar;
(at the bottom left a pressure gauge indicates the water pressure in the central heating system)
4 Close the fi lling loop valves A and B;
5 Vent the entire heating installation starting at the lowest point;
6 Check the water pressure and top up if necessary to 1.0 – 1.2 bar;
7 Check the fi lling loop valve is closed;
When powering up the boiler (described in chapter 13) an automatic de-aeration program will run to vent the
boiler. During this program the pressure in the central heating needs to be checked, and when necessary,
topped up again.
It may take some time before all the air has disappeared from a fi lled installation. Certainly during
the fi rst week sounds may be audible that indicate air. The automatic air vent in the boiler will let this
air escape, causing the water pressure to drop during this period and water will need to be refi lled
again.
Always remove the fi lling loop pipe after fi lling or topping up the heating system and close the
connections with the cap nut (3).

11.1 Hot water supply
Fill the hot water supply by opening the cold mains isolation valve.
Bleed the hot water installation by opening all hot water taps one at a time. Leave each tap to run until all air
has disappeared from the supply.
Flush with a minimum of 10 litres to rinse any residual contaminants from the hot supply and boiler.
Before the electrical power is switched on, it helps to know the operation of the boiler in advance. On this
page the controls are described in short. The next page describes the button functions and the symbols on
the display.
The boiler is equipped with self-managing control system. This control system takes over a large part of the
manual settings, which simplifi es the start-up of the installation considerably.
After fi lling the installation and switching on the electrical power supply a short start-up program is activated.
This shows all digits, boiler type and software version and the automatic de-aeration program is activated.
The automatic de-aeration program lasts for approx. 7 minutes and stops automatically. The boiler fi res up
for DHW to bring the primary heat exchanger to the set comfort temperature. Then the boiler will switch on
for the enabled program (CH or DHW) (See chapter 11 ‘Filling and bleeding boiler and installation’).
DHW controls (combination boilers)
If a hot water tap is opened the fl ow sensor measures (F1) the amount drawn off . Depending on the
desired DHW temperature and volume the controls will calculate an output. This realises the desired water
temperature in an effi cient way. The hot water sensor (T3) will adjust any minor deviations caused by
temperature fl uctuations so that even under these circumstances the desired temperature is constant.
CH controls
With a demand from the heating controls after DHW demand, the boiler
activates its 1 minute delay period. This is to prevent the heat exchanger
from losing its heat too quickly in the event of a hot water demand. Then
the pump starts and after 30 seconds the gradient control becomes
active. The starting point of the gradient control is the currently existing
fl ow temperature. A Delta-T control (25K) ensures a stable control
according to heat request.
If the fl ow temperature is below the T-set value of 20°C the boiler will
immediately start.
If during a demand from the heating the burner switches off , because the
desired fl ow temperature is exceeded, there will be an anti-cycle time in
operation for 5 minutes. This means that the burner switches on again
after 5 minutes if there is still a demand from the heating.

5. Check the water pressure and top up if necessary to 1.0 – 1.2 bar;
6. Check the fi lling loop if it is closed;
Waterpressure
The iC boiler is supplied with a pressure sensor. This sensor control has following settings:
0.5 bar: below this pressure the burner is blocked for operation
0.5 to 0.8 bar: boiler output reduced to max. 80%
0.8 to 3.0 bar: boiler fully functional
3.0 bar: above this pressure the boiler is blocked for operation.
Next to this the pressure sensor is used to set the boiler free before every start. Before the burner is set
free the boiler does a pump check, it checks for an increase in pressure when the pump starts. If there is an
increase of water pressure, the boiler will fi re up. If there is no increase the burner is blocked.
If the water pressure drops below 0.8 bar code 118 will appear in the display;
The de-aeration program starts (code 105) when the water pressure has been below
0.5 bar. Between 0.5 and 0.8 bar the display shows code 118 and the boiler will run on a
reduced output of max. 80%
The automatic de-aeration program will take approx. 7 minutes and will be followed by
the default display (OK) if the water pressure is above 0.8 bar.
The boiler will switch on immediately to reach the desired pre-heat temperature (approx.
50°C) of the hot water supply (Comfort setting).
The DHW program is always active after start-up.
This is indicated by .
If there is hot water request, this is indicated by a fl ashing and the hot water supply
will be activated. The circulation pump will start and the boiler will switch on .
Comfort and eco
By default the hot water supply is set to Comfort.
A change to Eco is possible by means of pressing the eco-button.
On the display appear 'eco'.
The eco-position will result in a possible longer DHW waiting time, because the boiler will
not being fi red up for pre-heating the hot water supply.
b CH system
The CH program is always active after start-up.
This is indicated by the .
If there is heat request, it is indicated by a fl ashing and the heating will be put into
operation .
The circulation pump will switch on and the boiler will switch on after 1 to 2 minutes.
When there is no more heat requested the radiator symbol may be solid or fl ashing, but the fl ame
symbol will disappear. The pump will continue to run due to the pump over run feature (overrun time
confi rmed in technical specifi cation table page 7).
c Pump function
By default the boiler is set in such a manner that the pump will switch on in case of a heat request for CH or
DHW. Switching on and off is managed entirely by the control system.
Danger of frost
If there is danger of frost damage to the CH installation and there is no outside sensor
connected, it is advisable to let the pump run continuously.
By pressing both - buttons at the same time for 8 seconds the pump can be switched on
continuously.
If the pump is set to continuously this is displayed by .
Installation frost protection
If an outside sensor is connected, then the controls will regulate the pump:
- In case of outside temperatures between +1.5 and -5°C the pump will run for 10 minutes every 6 hours.
- In case of outside temperatures below -5°C the pump will run in frost protection mode.
Boiler frost protection
If there is no outside sensor connected, and if the (T1) fl ow sensor registers a temperature of 5°C or below in
the boiler, the boiler will fi re up. The boiler keeps on fi ring until the temperature reaches 10°C (measured on
the fl ow sensor) and the boiler switches off again.
When the boiler is installed, it is in principle ready to be put into service. Most settings of the control system
are already programmed from factory. Only parameter P0 (kind of heating installation) has to be checked and
set, if necessary, to adjust the boiler to the connected installation.
To change this setting, proceed as follows:
1. Press the OK button for 3 seconds.
The display shows ‘P0’;
2. Press the OK button for 3 seconds again.

ATAG recommends to leave the electrical power supply on, so that the circulation pump and the three-way
valve are activated automatically once every 24 hours in order to prevent jamming.
If there is danger of frost it is advisable in this case to drain the boiler and/or installation. (See
following chapter)
Work on the installation and/or boiler should only be carried out by qualifi ed personnel with
calibrated equipment.
At the time of commissioning, complete all revelant sections of the Benchmark Checklist located on
the inside back pages of the document.
For maintenance of the boiler the cover has to be removed.
Unscrew the 2 locking screws from the fasteners at the top of the boiler, unlock the fasteners and remove the
cover in a forward motion. See fi gure 16.a
Note that there is an earth cable (when present) to disconnect when removing the boiler front panel.
Free space for removing the connector is about 400 mm. Remember to connect this earth cable
(when present) when placing back the boiler front panel and take care the wire does not get stuck
between front panel and boiler. Always replace and turn the 2 screws tight in the fasteners A and B.
Changing settings, such as the burner pressure and the amount of air fl ow, is superfl uous. Only in case of a
failure or when replacing the gas block, venturi and/or fan, the CO2 percentage should be checked.
Always check all gas carrying parts for leaks (with a leak detection spray) after (maintenance) work
to the boiler.
Close the relevant commissioning valves during the maintenance activities. See fi gure 15.a.
Draining the boiler
- Shut down the CH and DHW program and disconnect the 230V power supply
- Close the isolation valve CH fl ow (1) & CH return (2)
- Unscrew the cap nut from the return pipe fi lling loop connection (3)
- Connect a hose and drain socket (4) to the return fi lling loop connection (3) and lead the other end of the
hose to the drain.
- Slowly open the valve (2A) of the fi lling loop on the return pipe completely. CH water will only be drain out
from the boiler.
- If the CH water from the system and boiler needs to be drained, open the CV isolation valve (2)
The CO2 check consists of 2 steps or, if necessary, 3 steps:
Step 1: Check on full load
Step 2: Check on low load
Step 3: Adjustment (if necessary).
Step 1: CO2 check on full load
The CO2 setting is preset at the factory on all boilers. A calibrated CO2 control measurement must be carried
out during commissioning.
- Ensure that the boiler is in operation and that the heat, which it produces, can be discharged.
Set the full load
You can set the full load of the boiler as follows:

This completes the procedure.
NOTE: The air gas ratio valve is factory set and must not be adjusted during commissioning unless
this action is recommended following contact with the manufacturer.
If any such adjustment is recommended and further checking of the boiler is required the installer/service
engineer must be competent to carry out this work and to use the fl ue gas analyser accordingly.
If the boiler requires conversion to operate with a diff erent gas family (e.g. conversion from natural gas to
LPG) separate guidance will be provided by the boiler manufacturer
PRIOR TO CO LEVEL AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK
The boiler manufacturer’s installation instructions should have been followed, gas type verifi ed and gas
supply pressure/rate checked as required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, especially where a fl ue has been fi tted by persons other than the boiler installer, visually check the integrity of the whole fl ue system to confi rm that all components are
correctly assembled, fi xed and supported. Check that manufacturer’s max. fl ue lengths have not been
exceeded and all guidance has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Technical Bulletin TB008 where chimney/fl ues
are in voids).
The fl ue gas analyser should be of the correct type, as specifi ed by BS 7967
Prior to its use, the fl ue gas analyser should have been maintained and calibrated as specifi ed by the
manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser.
Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR as per analyser manufacturer’s instructions.
Key:
CO = carbon monoxide CO2 = carbon dioxide O2 = oxygen ppm = parts per million
Combustion ratio = The CO reading measured in ppm divided by the CO2 reading fi rst converted to ppm
GU(I&U)R = Gas safety (Installation & use) Regulation.
Start
SET BOILER TO MAXIMUM RATE
In accordance with boiler instructions, set
boiler to operate at maximum rate (full load
condition). Allow suffi cient time for
combustion to stabilise.
NOTE - Do not insert analyser probe during
this period to avoid possible “fl ooding” of sensor.
CARRY OUT FLUE INTEGRITY CHECK USING ANALYSER
Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point and allow readings to
stabilise.
NOTE - where no air inlet test point is provided then a fl ue integrity
check with the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify
that fl ue integrity has been visually checked in accordance with the
yellow “Prior to CO and combustion ratio check” box above
before proceeding to the “Check CO and combustion ratio at
Ensure test points are capped, boiler case is correctly replaced and
all other commissioning procedures are completed.
