Building Regulations and the Benchmark
Commissioning Checklist
Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of
the installation of a heating appliance to the relevant Local
Authority Building Control Department. From 1 April 2005 this
can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certification
Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.
Similar arrangements will follow for Scotland and will apply in
Northern Ireland from 1 January 2006.
CORGI operate a Self Certification Scheme for gas heating
appliances.
These arrangements represent a change from the situation
whereby compliance with Building Regulations was accepted as
being demonstrated by completion of the Benchmark Logbook
(which was then left on site with the customer).
With the introduction of Self Certification Schemes, the
Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn. However, a similar
document in the form of a commissioning checklist and service
interval record is incorporated at the back of these instructions.
This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully
supports the aims of the programme. Its aim is to improve the
standards of installation and commissioning of central heating
systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all
central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.

The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.
Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly shoulders, arms and hands.
Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERYONE.
There is no ‘safe’ limit for one man - each person has different capabilities. The boiler should be handled and lifted by TWO PEOPLE.
Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.
Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves, safety footwear etc.
Preparation
Co-ordinate movements - know where, and when, you are both going.
Minimise the number of times needed to move the boiler - plan ahead.
Always ensure when handling or lifting the route is clear and unobstructed. If possible avoid steps, wet or slippery surfaces, unlit areas etc. and take special care
on ladders/into lofts.
Technique
When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back straight, bend your knees. Don’t twist - move your feet, avoid bending forwards and
sideways and keep the load as close to your body as possible.
Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable trolley.
Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary. See the
‘Installation’ section of these instructions for recommended lift points.
Remember
The circumstances of each installation are different. Always asses the risks associated with handling and lifting according to the individual conditions.
If at any time when installing the boiler you feel that you may have injured yourself STOP !!
DO NOT ‘work through’ the pain - you may cause further injury.
IF IN ANY DOUBT DO NOT HANDLE OR LIFT THE BOILER - OBTAIN ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

1.2Important Information
Man-made mineral fibre
• Some component parts of this appliance (insulation
pads, gaskets and rope seals) are manufactured from manmade mineral fibre.
• Prolonged or excessive exposure to this material may
result in some irritation to the eyes, skin or respiratory
tract.
• It is advisable to wear gloves when handling these items.
• Irritant dust will only be released from the items if they
are broken up or subjected to severe abrasion. In these
instances a suitable dust mask and goggles should be
worn.
• Always thoroughly wash hands after installation,
servicing or changing components.
• When disposing of any items manufactured from manmade mineral fibre care must be exercised.
• If any irritation of the eyes or severe irritation of the skin
is experienced seek medical attention.
1. Switched Live On: When the switched live switches
on if the flow temperature is less than the set point
then pump overrun occurs. When the switched live
switches on if the flow temperature is greater than the
set point then pump overrun occurs.
2. Pump On: The pump is on while the fan, spark
generator and gas valve are off. After 10 seconds if the
flow switch has made then fan pre-purge occurs. After
10 seconds if the flow switch has not made then anticycle occurs.
3. Fan Pre-Purge: The pump and fan are on while the
spark generator and gas valve are off. After 5 seconds
ignition occurs.
4. Ignition: The pump, fan, spark generator and gas
valve are on. If a flame is detected then burner on
occurs. If a flame is not detected within 5 seconds and
less than 5 ignition attempts have been made then fan

1. The appliance is suitable for use with open vent fully
pumped systems and sealed systems .
The following conditions should be observed on all
systems:
• The static head must not exceed 30m (100ft) of water.
• The boiler must not be used with a direct cylinder.
• Drain cocks should be fitted to all system low points.
• All gas and water pipes and electrical wiring must be
installed in a way which would not restrict the servicing
of the boiler.
• Position isolating valves as close to circulating pump as
possible.
• It is recommended that the return pipe is fitted with an
automatic air vent as close to the boiler as is practical.
6.2Treatment of Water Circulating
Systems
• All recirculatory water systems will be subject to
corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is
applied. This means that the efficiency of the system
will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within
the system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler
noise and circulation problems.
• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within
the system, which can lead to damage of system
components.
• All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed
out. Using, for example Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300
or X400 or Fernox Superfloc Universal Cleanser. They
should be used following the flushing agent
manufacturer’s instructions.
• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing
agents/descalers should be suitable for aluminium and
comply to BS7593 requirements, e.g. Betz-Dearborn
Sentinel X100 and Fernox-Copal which should be used
following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions.
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will
invalidate the appliance warranty.
• It is important to check the inhibitor concentration
after installation, system modification and at every
service in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor
stockists.)
• For information or advice regarding any of the above
contact Technical Enquiries.
1. The sizes of flow and return pipes from the boiler
should be determined by normal methods, according to
the requirements of the system. The connections to the
boiler will accept 22mm pipe.

2. A 20 °C (36°F) drop in temperature across the system
is recommended for condensing boilers. Existing radiators
may be oversized and so allow this, but where radiator
sizing is marginal it may be advisable to retain a system
temperature drop of 11°C (20°F).
NOTE: On 100/2 HE Plus models 28mm pipe should
be used to connect to the boiler flow and return.
3. In systems using non-metallic pipework it is necessary
to use copper pipe for the boiler Flow and Return. The
copper must extend at least 1 metre from the boiler and
include any branches (Fig. 9).
6.4Low Head Installation
1. Using a close couple arrangement the minimum head is
as shown in the diagrams (Figs. 10 & 11) subject to the
following conditions:
a) The pump being adjusted to give a 20°C drop across
the boiler.
b) The pump must be fitted on the flow.
c) The pump must be fitted in accordance with the
pump manufacturer's instructions.
d) The open vent pipe must be taken up from a tee in a
horizontal section of the flow pipe.
An alternative Low Head Installation (Fig. 12)
2. For heads below 400mm then a combined vent and
feed pipe may be connected. This must be a minimum of
22mm diameter. It is recommended that an air separator
is fitted when using a combined feed and vent pipe.
1. When the boiler is fitted in conjunction with a
thermal store, both jumpers must be removed from the
PCB, see Fig. 32 Section 8.8.

6.6System Controls
This boiler does not require a bypass.
This boiler does not require a permanent live.
The pump only needs wiring directly to the boiler for
fully TRV’d systems.
1. To comply with Part L1 of the Building Regulations the
heating system into which the boiler is installed should
include the following:
a) zone controls
b) timing controls
c) boiler control interlocks
2. Such a system needs to be fully pumped and must
provide independent temperature and time control to
both the heating and hot water circuits and have a boiler
interlock.
3. The boiler should be controlled so that it operates on
demand only. Where it is proposed to effect control by
thermostatic radiator valves, a room thermostat (or
other device such as a flow switch - a flow switch is
integral to this boiler) should also be provided to switch
off the boiler when there is no demand for heating or
hot water.
4. The interlock for the CH circuit can be provided by
either a Room Thermostat or a fully TRV’d system with
the pump wired back to the boiler without a bypass.
Connection diagrams for both options for Y and S plan
systems are shown.

THE RELIABLE OPERATION OF THE BOILER
The condensate discharge pipe MUST NOT RISE at any
point along its length. There MUST be a fall of AT LEAST
2.5° (50mm per metre) along the entire run.
NOTE: It is unnecessary to fit an air break in the discharge
pipe.
1. The condensate outlet terminates in a 1” BSP nut and seal for
3
the connection of 21.5mm (
/4in) plastic overflow pipe which
should generally discharge internally into the household drainage
system. If this is not possible, discharge into an outside drain is
acceptable.
2. Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any
national or local regulations in force.
BS 6798:2000 & Part H1 of the Building Regulations give
further guidance.

9. In all cases discharge pipe must be installed to aid disposal of
the condensate. To reduce the risk of condensate being
trapped, as few bends and fittings as possible should be used.
10. When discharging condensate into a soil stack or waste pipe
the effects of existing plumbing must be considered. If soil pipes
or waste pipes are subjected to internal pressure fluctuations
when WC's are flushed or sinks emptied then back-pressure
may force water out of the boiler trap and cause appliance
lockout.
Examples are shown of the following methods of termination:i) to an internal soil & vent pipe
ii) via an internal discharge branch (e.g. sink waste)
iii) to a drain or gully
iv) to a purpose made soakaway
Holes in the soak-away must

NOTE: Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume
of water vapour will be discharged from the flue. This
should be taken into account when siting the flue
terminal.
1. The following guidelines indicate the general requirements
for siting balanced flue terminals.
For GB recommendations are given in BS 5440 Pt.1.
For IE recommendations are given in the current edition of
I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
2. If the terminal discharges onto a pathway or passageway,
check that combustion products will not cause a nuisance
and that the terminal will not obstruct the passageway.
3. Take into consideration the effect the plume of vapour
may have on neighbours when siting the flue.
4. Adjacent surfaces close to the flue terminal may need
protection from the effects of condensation. Alternatively a
flue deflector kit (part no. 248167) is available.
5. For installation of the flue into an internal corner at the
25mm dimension the flue deflector kit (part no. 248167)
must be fitted.
6. * Reduction to the boundary is possible down to 25mm
but the flue deflector kit (part no. 248167) must be fitted.

Property Boundar y Line
7. If required a suitable terminal guard is available from Baxi
for use with the flue deflector.
8. For fitting under low soffits and eaves it is acceptable for
the flue to project upto 500mm from the face of the wall to
the inside of the air intake. This can be painted if required
using a suitable external paint.

9. If a terminal is less than 2 metres (78
/4in) above a
balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to which people
have access, then a suitable terminal guard must be provided.
IMPORTANT:
• Only ONE 25mm clearance is allowed per installation.
• Under car ports we recommend the use of the plume
displacement kit.
• The terminal position must ensure the safe and
nuisance - free dispersal of combustion products.

The total maximum equivalent flue length is 150m.
NOTE: Each 1m of flue duct should be calculated as 2m.
Any additional “in line” bends in the flue system must be
taken into consideration. Their equivalent lengths are:

1. This kit is recommended for installations where the
condensate plume emitted from the flue may cause a
nuisance or affect the surroundings.
2. The flue consists of two main parts. The concentric
part, most of which is fitted inside and the 70Ø part
which is entirely outside the building.
3. Full fitting details are supplied with the kit. The table
and illustration opposite show the maximum permissible
lengths of each part of the flue (Fig 17a).

4. The required length of one part of the flue affects the
maximum permissible length of the other. For example,
when fitting a 100/2 HE the table shows that if 14 metres
of 70Ø are required outside, up to 2 metres of
concentric flue can be used.
5. This is determined by finding the 14 metre mark on
the left hand part of the graph, and tracing across to the
sloping line marked ‘100/2 HE’. Then trace vertically
down to the bottom part of the graph - this gives a
concentric maximum of 2 metres.

For side exit: project the horizontal side flue centre line
into the corner of the room and along the wall to
where the flue hole will be drilled. (Fig. 20).
The diagram (Fig. 21) shows the dimensions required to
ensure any horizontal flue is installed with the correct
fall to the boiler. Mark the offset (V) dimension and if
required, mark the position of the gas and water pipes.
Remove the template.
5. Cut the hole for the flue (minimum diameter
125mm, see table (Fig. 20) for wall thicknesses and flue
diameters).
6. Drill and plug the wall as previously marked. Secure
the wall plate using the centre hole (Fig. 22).
7. Ensuring the wall plate is level both horizontally and
vertically, drill and plug at least 4 securing positions at
the top and bottom through the wall plate. Utilising the
slots available ensure the wall plate is square and secure
to the wall (Fig. 22).
8. Loosely route the condensate discharge pipe to the
lower left hand side of the wall plate.
1. Remove the screw and retaining bracket from the wall
plate spring clip.
2. Offer up the boiler to the wall plate using the lifting
points shown in Fig. 24 and locate the rear bottom edge
onto the self locating support at the base of the wall plate.
(See Safe Manual Handling page 5.)
NOTE: When installing in Loft/Small Compartment
access for lifting the boiler from the front can be
gained for two people using the lifting points. (Fig. 24).
3. Rotate the boiler and engage into temporary spring
retaining latch.
4. Ensure the boiler is secured with the retaining
bracket and screw previously removed, immediately.
5. Remove red pipe protection caps from the FLOW and
RETURN connections.
8.4Making the Water Connections (Fig. 25)
1. The boiler has two side water connections which are
labelled FLOW and RETURN. The front connection is the
flow pipe and the rear threaded connection is the return.
2. It is essential that the flow and return pipes are
connected to the boiler correctly. The flow connection
incorporates the boiler thermostats and a flow switch.
Fig. 25a
Flow Pipe
Connection
Fig. 25
3. Only 22mm copper pipe can be connected (by
soldering) to the boiler flow and return. Compression
fittings cannot be used.
NOTE: On 100/2 HE Plus models 28mm pipe should
be used to connect to the boiler flow and return.
4. If the installation requires that the system pipework
originates from the bottom of the boiler, then the flow
and return pipes will need cutting, as they terminate
upwards.
8.5Making the Condensate Drain Connection
1. Connect the condensate drain using the 1”BSP nut and
seal supplied. (see section 7.6).
NOTE: To ensure the correct operation and
integrity of the condensate drainage system -
Carefully pour approximately 1 cupful (250ml) of
water into the flue products exhaust, at the top of the
heat exchanger (Fig. 25a) to ensure a seal is made in
the trap.
1. Connect the gas supply to the G1/2(1/2in BSPT
Internal) gas tap. This is located on the lower right side
of the boiler, access by hinging down the PCB housing
(see Fig. 32).
8.7Fitting The Flue
Before fitting the flue, check the condensate drain
integrity (see section 8.5).
IMPORTANT: The flue should always be installed
with a 3° (1 in 20) fall from terminal to elbow, to
allow condensate to run back to the boiler.
