Description
The Baxi Bermuda is a combined central heating boiler and
gas fire designed for installation within a builders opening in
the living space of a dwelling.
These installation and servicing instructions cover all natural
gas models. There are two physical sizes of boiler, the
Bermuda 45 being the smaller. Both Bermuda 45 and 57 are
available with either electronic or manual controls. The
appliance is fitted with an Atmospheric Sensing Device
which will shut the boiler down in the event of adverse flue
conditions. All installation and servicing procedures are the
same for each size of boiler. Any differences in procedure
between electronic and manual control versions are covered
in this booklet.
These instructions relate to the central heating boiler section
of the appliance.
The two models of the boiler have range rated outputs
as shown.
Each appliance is preset at its MIDRANGE heat input rate
and is designed for use on NATURAL GAS only. The boilers
are suitable for fully pumped and pumped central heating
with gravity hot water systems. The propane back boiler is
covered by its own instructions supplied with it. An optional
overheat thermostat kit is available for sealed systems or
where additional system protection is required.

Water Circulating Systems
The appliance is suitable for open vented systems which are
either fully pumped or pumped central heating with gravity
domestic hot water.
An overheat thermostat modification kit is available where
additional control protection is required and for sealed
system applications. This must not be used on gravity
systems
The following conditions should be observed at all
times:
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 such a way that it does not restrict the
servicing of the boiler. Position isolating valves as
close as possible to the circulating pump
Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
For optimum performance after installation, this boiler and its
associated central heating system must be flushed in
accordance with the guidelines given in B57593: 1992
‘Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating
systems’.
This must involve the use of a proprietary cleanser, such as
BetzDearborn’s Sentinel X300 or X400, or Fernox’s
Superfloc. Full instructions are supplied with the products,
but for immediate information, please contact BetzDearborn
on 0151 420 9563, or Fernox on 01799 550811.
For long term protection against corrosion and scale, after
flushing, it is recommended that an inhibitor such as
BetzDearborn’s Sentinal X100, or Fernox’s MB-1 or Copal is
dosed in accordance with the guidelines given in B5S593:
1992.
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system may
invalidate the appliance warranty.
Pipework
The sizes of the flow and return pipes from the boiler should
be determined by normal methods according to the
requirements of the system (BS 5449).
It is recommended that the system is designed for an
11ºC (20ºF) drop in temperature across the system.
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. The copper pipe must not be insulated (Fig. 1).
Page 7
SYSTEM DETAILS - Page 7
System Controls
For optimum operating conditions, the heating system into
which the appliance is installed should include a control
system.
Such a system would comprise a timer control and a
separate room and/or cylinder thermostat as appropriate.
The boiler should be controlled so that it operates on
demand only.
It is not economical to rely on the boiler thermostat to
control operation of the system.
Fully Pumped System
The sizes of the system pipes should be determined by
normal methods (BS 5449).
The open vent pipe should be a minimum of 22mm and must
rise continuously to a point above the feed and expansion
tank.
The flow pipe from the boiler may form part of the vent pipe.
No part of the open vent should contain a valve.
The cold feed pipe (15mm mm) should preferably be
connected to the boiler return.
Close coupling of the cold feed pipe to the flow pipe at a
maximum of 150mm (6 in) from the vent pipe is permissible
but there must always be an open cold water path to the
boiler return connection.

thermostat is included with the kit.
Storage Systems
For information regarding the use of a Bermuda boiler with.a
storage system, contact the appropriate storage system
manufacturer.
Pumped Heating & Gravity Hot Water
The sizes of system pipes should be determined by normal
methods (BS 5449). 28mm pipe is recommended for the
gravity circuits.
The gravity flow pipe should rise vertically as close as
possible to the boiler, avoiding sharp bends and tight
elbows.
The open vent pipe should be a minimum of 22mm and must
rise continuously to a point above the feed and expansion
tank.
The flow pipe from the boiler may form part of the vent pipe.
No part of the open vent should contain a valve.
The cold feed pipe (15mm mm) should be connected to the
boiler return pipework.
The brass injector tee must be fitted to the boiler return
on all systems incorporating a gravity circuit.
The circulating head should not be less than 1 m (3ft.) with a
maximum horizontal run of 3m (10ft.) when using 28mm
pipes. Smaller pipe sizes and longer horizontal runs are
acceptable with suitably increased circulating heads.
The gravity circuit should be designed with a minimum of
restriction, avoiding possible air traps and long horizontal
runs.
The system should be designed to prevent gravity circulation
in the heating system when the pump is not running.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS MODELS
On Electronic Controls models the pilot is intermittent and
lights when the boiler thermostat is calling for heat.
To operate the pilot turn the thermostat to HIGH. The burner
will also light shortly after the pilot has been established.
Electronic Control Models are fitted with a series of
diagnostic indicator lights that indicate the status of the
boiler. Three of these are visible through the top of the
control box cover and two through the front of the control
box. Their sequence of operation is as follows:-
a)No power-no lights.
b)Permanent live supplied-orange light illuminates.
c)Permanent live & switched live supplied-second
orange light illuminates.
d)Boiler thermostat turned on-third orange light
illuminates and spark generator operates.
e)Pilot established-green light illuminates and power
supplied to main burner solenoid.
f)Boiler fault-orange light illuminates and boiler goes
to lockout.
The pilot flame should be without a yellow tip and be
approximately 20mm long. No adjustment is possible.
NOTE: On appliances without permanent live (i.e. radiant
firefront installations) where terminals L and SL have been
connected using the link wire, the first two orange lights will
illuminate simultaneously when the switched live is supplied.
Operate the burner and allow the system to reach normal
operating temperature. Make further checks for leaks and
check the burner setting pressure, adjusting if necessary.
This is done by removing the governor cover screw and
adjusting the governor in either direction as required:clockwise to increase, anticlockwise to decrease.
Remove the pressure gauge and tighten the pressure test
point sealing screw.
The boiler and system should be run and then flushed and
treated in accordance with B57593: 1992 and the flushing
agent/inhibitor manufacturers instructions. When all the air
has been removed from the water circuit, the pump and
radiators should be balanced to achieve the design
