Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The
purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with the correct equipment for
their needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and that it meets the
requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations. The Benchmark Checklist
can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and should be
provided to the customer for future reference.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing work
in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the
Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage and promote the Scheme.

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. This can be achieved
via a Competent Persons Self Certification Scheme as an
option to notifying the Local Authority directly.
The Health & Safety Executive operates the ‘Gas Safe Register’,
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Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn.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.
Building Regulations require that installations should comply
with manufacturer's instructions. It is therefore important that
the commissioning checklist is completed by the installer. The
relevant section of Building Regulations only relates to
dwellings. Therefore the checklist only applies if the appliance is
being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.
The flowchart opposite gives guidance for installers on the
process necessary to ensure compliance with Building
Regulations.

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 !!

designed flues such as one of the standard horizontal
telescopic flue kits detailed in the Flue Installation Guide .
9. All systems must be thoroughly cleansed, flushed and
treated with inhibitor (see section 6.2).
1.2Optional Extras
Various timers, external controls, etc. are available as optional
extras. Full details are contained in the relevant sales literature.
1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates water
through the primary circuit.
2. Once main burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas
rate to maintain the heating temperature measured by the
temperature sensor.
3. When the flow temperature exceeds the setting
temperature, a 3 minute delay occurs before the burner
relights automatically (anti-cycling). The pump continues to
run during this period.
4. When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished
and the pump continues to run for a period of 3 minutes
(Pump Overrun).
3.2Domestic Hot Water Mode
1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A
demand at a tap or shower will override any central heating
requirement.
2. The flow of water will operate the Hall Effect Sensor
which requests the 3 way valve to change position. This will
allow the pump to circulate the primary water through the
DHW plate heat exchanger.
3. The burner will light automatically and the temperature of
the domestic hot water is controlled by the temperature
sensor.
4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases the burner
will extinguish and the diverter valve will remain in the
domestic hot water mode, unless there is a demand for
central heating.

1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to 0.5 bar.
Therefore, the minimum cold fill pressure is 0.5 bar. The vessel
is suitable for correct operation for system capacities up to 125
litres (24/28) or 155 litres (33/40). For greater system capacities
an additional expansion vessel must be fitted. For GB refer to
BS 7074 Pt 1. For IE, the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic
Gas Installations”.
6.7Safety Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 6)
1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar, therefore all
pipework, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess
of 3 bar and temperature in excess of 100°C.
2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be not less than
15mm dia, run continuously downward, and discharge outside
the building, preferably over a drain. It should be routed in such
a manner that no hazard occurs to occupants or causes damage
to wiring or electrical components. The end of the pipe should
terminate facing down and towards the wall (Fig. 6a).
3. The discharge must not be above a window, entrance or

IMPORTANT: Where Low Flow Taps or
Fittings are intended to be used in the DHW
system connected to a Baxi Duo-tec Combi GA
it is strongly recommended that the DHW flow
rate DOES NOT fall below 2.5l/min. This will
ensure reliable operation of the DHW function.
3. The Water Regulations recommendations for England and
Wales prohibits backflow from appliances into the
wholesome water supply due to thermal expansion.
However this type of instantaneous combination boiler, with
less than 15 litres of stored capacity, does not require any
backflow prevention device as any thermal expansion is
accommodated within the appliance.
It is possible in certain circumstances that other cold water
demands (e.g. washing machines, flushing of W.C.s) may
affect the DHW function of the boiler. In these instances the
fitting of a backflow prevention device and expansion vessel
is recommended.
4. Also if there is an existing check valve, loose jumpered
stop cock, water meter or water treatment device already
fitted to the wholesome water supply connected to the
boiler domestic hot water (DHW) inlet supply then a
suitable expansion device may be required.
5. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8 bar,
therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc. should be
suitable for pressures in excess of 8 bar. A pressure reducing
valve must be fitted for pressures in excess of 8 bar. The
manufacturer of any outlet fittings, such as a shower valve,
may require a lower maximum pressure. The pressure
reduction must take account of all fittings connected to the
DHW system.
1. If a shower control is supplied from the appliance it
should be of the thermostatic or pressure balanced type.
Thermostatic type shower valves provide the best comfort
and guard against water at too high a temperature. Existing
controls may not be suitable - refer to the shower valve
manufacturer.
6.10Hard Water Areas
1. If the area of the installation is recognised as a HARD
WATER AREA then a suitable device should be fitted to
treat the mains water supply to the boiler. Contact your
Water Distribution Company for advice on suitable devices.

7.7Condensate Drain
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
PIPEWORK CORRECTLY WILL AFFECT THE RELIABLE
OPERATION OF THE BOILER.
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE PIPEWORK BEING SUBJECT TO
FREEZING CONDITIONS AND APPROPRIATE
MEASURES TAKEN TO PREVENT BLOCKAGE.
CORRECT INSTALLATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS SECTION WILL CONSIDERABLY MINIMISE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF BLOCKAGE AND SUBSEQUENT
BOILER LOCK-OUT.
A CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PUMP AND PIPE ‘TRACE
HEATING’ ARE AVAILABLE AS ACCESSORIES - see
paragraphs 7.7.12 to 7.715 for further details.
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 EXCEPT when
employing a suitable condensate pump in basement and
cellar or similar applications.
The boiler condensate trap incorporates a seal of 75mm,
therefore it is unnecessary to install an air break and trap in
the discharge pipework.
3
1. The condensate outlet will accept 21.5mm (
overflow pipe. It is strongly recommended that this dischargesinternally into the household drainage system.
Where this is not possible, discharge into an outside drain is
permissible providing every possible precaution is taken to
prevent freezing.
2. Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any
national or local regulations in force. BS 6798 & Part H1 of the
Building Regulations give further detailed guidance.
3. The discharge pipe should be run in a proprietary drain pipe
material e.g. PVC, PVC-U, ABS, PVC-C or PP.
4. Metal pipework is NOT suitable for use in condensate
discharge systems.
5. The pipe should be a minimum of 21.5mm diameter and
must be supported using suitably spaced clips of the correct
design to prevent sagging.
6. It is advisable that the full length of condensate pipe is run
Further specific requirements for soakaway
design are referred to in BS 6798.
500mm min
Holes in the soak-away must
face away from the building
7. Internal runs greater than 3 metres or runs in cold areas
should use 32mm waste pipe.
8. External runs MUST be a MINIMUM of 32mm and fully
insulated with material suitable for external use.
9. If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire
condensate discharge pipe should be treated as an external run
and sized and insulated accordingly.
10. 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

7.0Site Requirements
7.8Flue
NOTE: Due to the nature 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.
1
In addition, the terminal should be no nearer than 150 mm to an opening in the
building fabric formed for the purpose of accommodating a built-in element such as
a window frame.
2
Only ONE 25mm clearance is allowed per installation. If one of the dimensions
D, E, F, G or H is 25mm then the remainder MUST be as shown in brackets, in
accordance with B.S.5440-1.
NOTE: The distance from a fanned draught appliance terminal
installed parallel to a boundary may not be less than 300mm in

Pipe (Fig. 22)
1. Remove the discharge pipe from the kit.
2. Determine the routing of the discharge pipe in the vicinity of
the boiler. Make up as much of the pipework as is practical,
including the discharge pipe supplied.
IMPORTANT: Make all soldered joints before connecting
to the pressure relief valve. The relief valve is intentionally
angled to the right of the boiler. DO NOT adjust the
position of the valve. The discharge pipe must be installed
before pressurising the system.
3. The pipework must be at least 15mm diameter and run
continuously downwards to a discharge point outside the
building. See section 6.7 for further details.
4. Utilising one of the sealing washers, connect the discharge
pipe to the adaptor and tighten the nut hand tight, plus 1/4
turn to seal.
5. Complete the discharge pipework and route it to the
outside discharge point.
1. Using the short piece of rubber hose supplied, connect the
condensate drain pipework to the boiler condensate trap
outlet pipe. When connecting the hose, ensure that the
condensate sump is not inadvertently unscrewed,
Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any
