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.
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.
ISO 9001
FM 00866
0086
The flowchart opposite gives guidance for installers on the process
necessary to ensure compliance with Building Regulations.
The Benchmark Scheme
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. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for
more information.

2.2Recommendations
WARNING
Installation, repair and maintenance must be carried
out by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
(in accordance with prevailing local and national
regulations).
When working on the boiler, always disconnect the
boiler from the mains and close the main gas inlet
valve.
After maintenance or repair work, check the
installation to ensure that there are no leaks.
CAUTION
The boiler should be protected from frost.
Only remove the casing for maintenance and repair
operations. Replace the casing after maintenance
and repair operations.
• 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
assess 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 !
Where Low Flow Taps or Fittings are intended to
be used in the DHW system connected to a Baxi
EcoBlue Advance Combi it is strongly
recommended that the DHW flow rate DOES

4. The boiler is suitable for use only on fully pumped sealed
heating systems. Priority is given to domestic hot water.
5. The boiler data badge gives details of the model, serial
number and Gas Council number and is situated on the boiler
lower panel. It is visible when the control box is lowered (Fig. 2).
6. The boiler model, serial number and Gas Council number are
also shown on the information label behind the boiler control flap
(Fig. 1). This is for user reference.
7. The boiler is intended to be installed in residential/domestic
environments on a governed meter supply only.
8. The boiler must be installed with one of the purpose designed
flues such as one of the standard horizontal telescopic flue kits
detailed in the Flue Installation Guide .
All systems must be thoroughly cleansed, flushed and
treated with inhibitor (see section 5.2.6).
These Installation & Servicing Instructions MUST be
read in conjunction with the Flue Installation Guide supplied in
the Literature Pack.
The boiler can be set in 3 operating modes:- ‘Summer’
(DHW only), ‘Winter’ (CH & DHW) or ‘Heating Only’ (CH only) by
use of the button.
4.2.1 Central Heating Mode
1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates water through
the primary circuit.
2. Once the 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).

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 DHW Sensor (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.
4.2.3 Boiler Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the appliance and
functions as long as there is power to the boiler, as indicated by
the standby signal .
2. With CH & DHW or CH only selected, when the boiler
temperature falls below 5°C the boiler will fire until a
temperature of 30°C is reached.
3. If DHW only is selected, when the boiler CH temperature falls
below 5°C the boiler will fire until a temperature of 30°C is
reached. When the boiler DHW temperature falls below 5°C the
boiler will fire until a temperature of 7°C is reached.
4. Further protection can be incorporated by using a system
frost thermostat.
4.2.4 Pump Protection
1. This activates once a week if there has been no demand. The
pump runs for 30 seconds to prevent sticking.

2. The mains supply is 230V ~ 50Hz fused at 3A.
The method of connection to the electricity supply must
facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance.
Connection may be via a fused double-pole isolator
with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles
and servicing the boiler and system controls only.
5.2.3 Hard Water Areas
Only water that has NOT been artificially softened must
be used when filling or re-pressurising the primary
system. If the mains cold water to the property is fitted
with an artificial softening/treatment device the source
utilised to fill or re-pressurise the system must be
upstream of such a device.
5.2.4 Bypass
1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic integral bypass.
5.2.5 System Control
1. Further external controls (e.g. room thermostat sensors)
MUST be fitted to optimise the economical operation of the
boiler in accordance with Part L of the Building Regulations. A
range of optional controls is available. Full details are contained
in the relevant Sales Literature.
1. All recirculatory water systems will be subject to corrosion
unless they are flushed and an appropriate water treatment is
applied. To prevent this, follow the guidelines given in BS 7593
“Treatment of Water in Domestic Hot Water Central Heating
Systems” and the treatment manufacturers instructions.
2. Treatment must involve the use of a proprietary cleanser,
such as Sentinel X300 or X400, or Fernox F3 and an inhibitor

3. Full instructions are supplied with the products. For further
information contact Sentinel (0800 389 4670) or Fernox (0870
870 0362).
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will
invalidate the appliance warranty.
4. It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after
installation, system modification and at every service in
accordance with the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions. (Test
kits are available from inhibitor stockists.)
5. Complete the label supplied with the inhibitor and attach to
the inside of the boiler case. Detail of system treatment should
be added for future reference.
6. For information or advice regarding any of the above contact
Technical Enquiries 0844 871 1555.
5.2.7 Showers
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.
5.2.8 Expansion Vessel (CH only)
1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to 1.0 bar.
Therefore, the minimum cold fill pressure is 1.0 bar. The vessel
is suitable for correct operation for system capacities up to
125 litres (24 & 33)/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”.
2. Checking the charge pressure of the vessel - to check the
charge accurately ensure the system is cold. It is also
necessary to relieve the pressure by draining the boiler. Using a
suitable gauge check the pressure at the valve on the underside
of the vessel. Adjust the pressure as required and repressurise
the system.
1. The pressure relief valve (Fig. 5) 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 diameter, 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. 4).
3. The discharge must not be above a window, entrance or
other public access. Consideration must be given to the
possibility that boiling water/steam could discharge from the
pipe.
The relief valve must never be used to drain the system
The end of the pipe should terminate facing
down and towards the wall
Fig. 4
4. A remote relief valve kit is available to enable the boiler to be
installed in cellars or similar locations below outside ground
level.
5. A boiler discharge pump is available which will dispose of
both condensate & high temperature water from the relief valve.
It has a maximum head of 5 metres.

1. The boiler may be fitted to any suitable wall with the flue
passing through an outside wall or roof and discharging to
atmosphere in a position permitting satisfactory removal of
combustion products and providing an adequate air supply. The
boiler should be fitted within the building unless otherwise
protected by a suitable enclosure i.e. garage or outhouse. (The
boiler may be fitted inside a cupboard-see Section 5.3.4).
2. Where the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure and during
periods when the heating system is to be unused it is
recommended that the permanent live is left on to give BOILER
frost protection. NOTE: THIS WILL NOT PROTECT THE
SYSTEM !
3. If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or shower
reference must be made to the relevant requirements.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and Building

5.3.5 Condensate 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 5.3.6.12 to 5.3.6.15
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.

Before Installation51
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
and any burrs on cut pipe removed.
11. 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

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”.
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.

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.
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.
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. If a terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above
ground or above a flat roof to which people have access, then a
suitable terminal guard must be provided.
*
*4. Reduction to the boundary is possible down to 25mm but
the flue deflector must be used (see 5.3.12).
The distance from a fanned draught appliance terminal
installed parallel to a boundary may not be less than
300mm in accordance with the diagram opposite

To Hot
Taps
Where Low Flow Taps or Fittings are
intended to be used in the DHW system connected to
a Baxi EcoBlue Advance Combi 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.
If a check valve, loose jumpered stop cock, water meter
or water treatment device is fitted (or may be in the
future) to the wholesome water supply connected to the
boiler domestic hot water (DHW) inlet supply then a
suitable expansion device may be required.
4. 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.

national or local regulations in force (see British Gas “Guidance
Notes for the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers” &
HHIC recommendations).
2. The elbow will accept 21.5mm (3/4in) 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. See section 5.3.5 for further details.
3. The boiler condensate trap should be primed by pouring
approximately 300ml of water into the flue spigot. Do not allow
any water to fall into the air inlet.

7.2Checklist before Commissioning
7.2.1Preliminary Electrical Checks
1. Prior to commissioning the boiler preliminary electrical system
checks should be carried out.
2. These should be performed using a suitable meter, and
include checks for Earth Continuity, Resistance to Earth, Short
Circuit and Polarity.
7.2.2Checks
1. Checked:
That the boiler has been installed in accordance with these
instructions.
The integrity of the flue system and the flue seals.
The integrity of the boiler combustion circuit and the relevant
seals.
The display backlight remains lit approx. 10 minutes. If
the backlight goes out during commissioning it does not
mean that the process has been completed.
This procedure MUST be carried out !
1. Ensure the gas is turned Off! Turn the power to the boiler ON.

FUNCTION INTERRUPTION
• If the De-aeration is interrupted due to a fault the pump will
cease to circulate but the function timer (approx.10 minutes)
will continue to run. For this reason it is recommended to
monitor the boiler display during De-aeration. If the fault
cannot be rectified quickly the function must be restarted to
ensure complete De-aeration.
• In the event of a loss of power the De-aeration function
needs to be restarted once the power is re-established.
• In the event of low water pressure the fault code E118 will
be displayed, along with the flashing and symbols.
This error can be rectified by repressurising the system to at
least 1.0 bar. The pump will restart automatically once the
water pressure is successfully re-established and will
reappear in the display.
• The De-aeration function can be repeated as necessary
until all air is expelled from the system.

The CO2should be 8.7% ± 0.2 at MAXIMUM
2. It is possible to alter the CO2by adjustment of the gas valve.
At maximum rate the Throttle Adjustment Screw should be
turned, using a suitable 2.5 hexagon key, until the correct
reading is obtained (Fig. 100).
Turning clockwise will reduce the CO2. Anticlockwise
will increase th e CO2.
3. The CO2must then be checked at minimum rate.
The CO2should be 8.4% ± 0.2 at MINIMUM
4. With the boiler on minimum, the Offset Adjustment Screw
must be altered, using a suitable 4mm hexagon key, after
removing the cap (Fig. 100).
Turning anti-clockwise will reduce the CO2. Clockwise
will increase th e CO2.
5. Check the Combustion Performance (CO/CO2ratio). This
must be less than 0.004.
Refit the sampling point plug and ensure there is no
leakage of products.

11.1Error Codes
1. If a fault occurs on the boiler an error code may be shown by
the facia display.
2. The codes are a flashing number, either two or three digit,
preceded by the symbol :-
followed by 20, 28, 40, 160 or 321 indicates possible faulty
components.
110 and 111 indicate overheat of the primary system water.
117 is displayed when the primary water pressure is greater
than 2.7 bar. Restoring the correct pressure will reset the error.
118 is displayed when the primary water pressure is less than
0.5 bar. Restoring the correct pressure will reset the error.
133, indicates that the gas supply has been interrupted,
ignition has failed or the flame has not been detected.
128 is displayed if there has been a flame failure during
normal operation.
125 is displayed in either of two situations:i) If within 15 seconds of the burner lighting the boiler
temperature has not changed by 1°C.
ii) If within 10 minutes of the burner lighting the boiler actual
temperature twice exceeds the selected temperature by 30°.
In these instances poor primary circulation is indicated.
3. By pressing the 'Reset' button for 1 to 3 seconds when
110, 125 & 133 are displayed it is possible to relight the boiler.
4. If this does not have any effect, or the codes are displayed
regularly further investigation is required.
11.2 Fault Finding
1. Check that gas, water and electrical supplies are available at
the boiler.
2. Electrical supply = 230V ~ 50 Hz.
3. The preferred minimum gas pressure is 20 mb (NG).
4. Carry out electrical system checks, i.e. Earth Continuity,
Resistance to Earth, Short Circuit and Polarity with a suitable
meter.
NOTE: These checks must be repeated after any servicing or
fault finding.
5. Ensure all external controls are calling for heat and check all
external and internal fuses. Before any servicing or replacement
of parts, ensure the gas and electrical supplies are isolated.
Temperature sensors faulty.
