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.
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Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn.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.
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.

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 !!

3.1Central Heating Mode (Fig. 2)
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 (Fig. 3)
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.
IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in the ‘0’
(Off) position the electrical supply to the boiler is isolated.
The boiler will not operate and the integral timer (if
fitted) will require resetting once the selector switch is set
to either Position ( ) or Position ( ).
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the appliance and
functions only with the selector switch (see Section 2.1) in
the domestic hot water and central heating position. If the
system temperature falls below 5° C then the boiler will fire
on its minimum setting until a flow temperature of 30° C is
reached. Further protection can be incorporated by using a
system frost thermostat.

details of byelaws and the IRNs.
6.2Central Heating Circuit
1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED SYSTEMS
ONLY.
Treatment 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, Sentinel X300 or X400 or Fernox F3.
They should be used following the flushing agent
manufacturer’s instructions.
• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing
agents/descalers should comply to BS7593 requirements, e.g.
Sentinel X100 and Fernox MB-1 which should be used
following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions.
• 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.
• 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.
6.3Bypass
1. The boiler utilises the primary side of the DHW plate heat
exchanger as an automatic integral bypass.
1. The boiler is designed for use in a heating system that
incorporates external controls, i.e. a minimum of a timer
device.
2. Suitable timer kits are available as optional extras.
3. For optimum operating conditions and maximum economy
the fitting of a programmable room thermostat is
recommended.

6.7Safety Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 6)
1. The safety 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.
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.
4. A remote relief valve kit is available to enable the boiler to
be installed in cellars or similar locations below outside
ground level (kit no. 5121379).
1. All DHW circuits, connections, fittings, etc. should be fully
in accordance with relevant standards and water supply
regulations.
2. Your attention is drawn to:
for GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to

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. If the hot water expansion is not provided for, then high
pressures can develop which may result in damage to fittings
and devices on the system.
6. 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.

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
internally and preferably be less than 3 metres.
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
and any burrs on cut pipe removed.

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.
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 kit (part no. 5111068) must be fitted.
IMPORTANT:
• 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.
Fig. 17
Plume
Displacement Kit
IMPORTANT: If fitting a Plume
Displacement Flue Kit, the air inlet
must be a minimum of 150mm from
any opening windows or doors (see
Section 9.0).
All vertical and angled runs must be included,
measured from the boiler adaptor (point X) to the
joint with the flue terminal (point Y). One 91.5°
bend or two 135° bends can be included without
reduction of the flue length.
8.2Vertical Flue Systems
1. Maximum permissible equivalent flue lengths are:(60/100)(80/125)
Vertical Concentric 10 metres20 metres
2. Any additional “in line” bends in the flue system must be
taken into consideration. Their equivalent lengths are:Concentric Pipes:
135° bend0.5 metres
93° bend1.0 metres
The elbow supplied with the standard horizontal flue kit is
not included in any equivalent length calculations
NOTE: Flue length is measured from point X to Y as
shown.
IMPORTANT: All flue systems must be securely
supported at least once every metre. Suitable pipe
supports are available as accessories.
Roof
Terminal
If further elbows are required the flue length must
be reduced by the following amounts:-
1. In the case of a pitched roof 25 - 50 degrees, position the lead
tile to replace/flash over existing roof tiling. Make an aperture in
the roof suitable for the lower tube of the roof terminal and
ensure the integrity of the roof cover is maintained. The
adjustable plastic collar can either be positioned on the lead tile
or the lower tube of the roof terminal prior to the final
positioning of the vertical flue through the tile. Check the collar is
correctly located to suit required roof pitch (either 25° to 38° or
37° to 50°). From inside the roof adjust the flue to a vertical
position and secure to the roof structure with the clamp supplied.
2. For flat roof installations the aluminium flashing must be
incorporated into the roof covering and the appropriate aperture
made in the roof decking. The vertical flue is lowered onto the
flashing making sure the collar of the flue locates securely with
the flashing. (A mastic seal may be necessary). From inside the
roof, adjust the flue to a vertical position and secure to the roof
structure with the clamp supplied.

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 terminal must be positioned outside the building with
the air inlet facing downward and outlet connection upwards.
3. The plume outlet must always be at least 45° to the wall,
with the ‘peak’ uppermost to prevent rain entry (Figs. 24 &
25), and be at least 2 metres above ground level. It must be
secured as shown in Fig. 19. The plume outlet must also be at
least 500mm from the air inlet in any direction (Fig. 25).
NOTE: The outlet must be positioned so that any
condensate plume is directed away from adjacent surfaces.
There must be a constant fall along the entire length of the
flue system from the outlet back to the boiler.

4. It is possible to reduce or increase (with the addition of
extensions) the length of either or both the 60/100 concentric
and 60Ø exhaust.
5. Standard concentric flue extension kits may be added
between the boiler elbow and the terminal assembly.
6. The minimum length of the concentric flue is 100mm when
measured from the edge of the flue elbow.
IMPORTANT: The maximum equivalent length of
concentric flue is:- 8 metres
Additional bends may be fitted in the concentric flue, but
the equivalent length must be reduced by 1 metre (93°
bend) or 0.5 metres (45° bend).
7. 60Ø 1 metre extensions (including support bracket), and
additional 93° & 45° elbows are available. Any additional 93°
& 45° elbows must be accounted for when calculating flue
lengths.
NOTE: Permitted positions of the plume outlet relative to
doors, windows etc. are the same as for conventional
concentric flues as detailed in the main Installation &
Servicing Instructions and BS5440 Pt. 1. It is NOT
necessary to fit a terminal guard over the air inlet or the
plume outlet.
In the graph the solid line diagonal represents the
relationship between the concentric flue assembly (and any
extensions) and the 60Ø exhaust (and any extensions or
additional bends).
Example 1 - Not Permissible
If, for instance, a concentric length of 5 metres was required
and the 60Ø exhaust needed to be 6 metres the graph
shows that this combination would NOT be permissible as
the intersection point would be above the solid diagonal line.
Example 2 - Flue Lengths OK
Where both lengths have been determined they can be
applied to the graph to check that the installation is
permissible. For example, if it was known that 2 metres of
concentric flue and 4 metres of 60Ø exhaust were required,
the values could be applied to the graph as shown in
Example 2.. As the point of intersection of the dotted lines is
below the solid diagonal line, the combination of lengths is
shown to be acceptable.
Example 3 - Flue Lengths OK
In the example shown in Fig. 4 assume that the concentric
part of the flue needs to be 2.3 metres long. Find the
position of ‘2.3’ on the horizontal axis of the graph and then
project upwards to the solid diagonal line. This is represented
by the vertical thick dotted line. Where this dotted line
intersects with the solid diagonal line on the graph, project
across to the vertical axis. As can be seen this corresponds
with 6 metres. Therefore, the total equivalent length of the
60Ø exhaust can be up to 6 metres. Any bend equivalences
must be accounted for i.e. 93° bends are equal to 1 metre,
each 45° bend to 0.5 metres.

Potterton Heatmax Combi 33HE
In Fig. 27 opposite an additional 93° bend and pair of 45°
elbows have been included in the 60Ø exhaust.
Also 3 straight extension pieces have been used.
To calculate total length:Length of 60Ø supplied in kit = 1 metre
3 x 1 metre Extensions =3 metres
1 x 93° Elbow =1 metre
2 x 45° Elbow =1 metre (0.5 metres each)
Total 60Ø =6 metres
After consulting the table in Example 3 it can be determined
that the concentric flue could be up to approximately 2.3
metres long.
1. Cut a hole in the external wall which the concentric flue
assembly will pass through. The hole should allow the flue
to fall back to the boiler at an angle of at least 1.5°.
Spigot
Fig. 28
Flue Trim
Min. 2 metres
2. When completed the terminal must be at least 2 metres
above ground level (Fig. 28).
3. Measure and cut to size the concentric assembly and any
extensions that are being used.
4. Insert the concentric assembly through the hole from
outside the building.
5. If required, the flexible flue trim should be fitted prior to
this as it cannot be fitted after. Use the large ‘Jubilee’ clip to
secure the trim to the flue (See Fig. 29, trim shown
dotted), with the screw part of the clip at the bottom.
6. Connect any extensions or elbows that are being used
to the concentric assembly. Engage the extension, elbow
or concentric assembly in the boiler flue elbow. Fit the
boiler flue elbow to the boiler adaptor.
7. Ensure that the concentric assembly and any extensions
fall back to the boiler at an angle of at least 1.5° and that
the external air inlet is to the bottom.
8. Use suitable brackets to support the concentric
assembly and any extensions, and make good inside and
outside.

9. The 60Ø exhaust can now be fitted. Slide the adaptor
over the plain end of the 60Ø exhaust (Fig. 31) and engage
the exhaust in the terminal. Slide the adaptor down over
the spigot. Mark and drill the adaptor, using a 2mm bit, as
shown in Fig. 30. Secure the adaptor to the spigot using
one of the screws supplied.
10. If it is necessary to shorten the 60Ø exhaust or any of
the extensions, the excess material must be cut from the
plain end of the pipe.
11. Determine the position of the 60Ø exhaust and mark
on the wall a suitable position for the support bracket. If
extensions are being used, a support bracket is supplied in
each kit.
12. Drill the wall, and fit the bracket(s) using the plug and
screw provided.
13. Mark and drill the 60Ø exhaust, using a 2mm bit, as
shown in Fig. 32. Complete the installation of the 60Ø
exhaust, securing in the brackets.
14. Fit the 93° elbow/plume outlet and secure with the
two remaining screws supplied. Ensure the plume outlet is
at least 45° to the wall and that the ‘peak’ is uppermost
(Fig. 33).
15. For aesthetic purposes it is permissible to route the
60Ø exhaust in an enclosed box, but the air inlet and
plume outlet MUST remain in free air.
16. It is also possible to separate the plume outlet from the
93° elbow to allow the flue to be installed as shown in
Fig. 34.
17. To do this, first slacken the two screws retaining the
plume outlet to the elbow, and remove the outlet (Fig. 35).
The elbow can now be used to connect the vertical to
horizontal 60Ø exhaust (Fig. 34). Retighten the screws in
the elbow.
18. The outlet can now be fitted into the female end of an
60Ø extension piece. It must be secured using two of the
screws supplied in the bag with the ‘Jubilee’ clip.
19. Mark the female end of the extension at 30mm as
shown in two positions, directly opposite each other
(Fig. 36).

20. Using a suitable bit (e.g. 2mm), drill through the
extension and outlet. Secure using two of the screws
supplied.
21. The remaining screw must be used to secure the
adaptor to the concentric terminal.
22. When the plume outlet is positioned under a balcony
or other projection (Fig. 37) it must protrude at least
200mm (it is not necessary to extend it further than this).
23. When under balconies or projections it is permissible to
rotate the concentric flue length up to 70°, clockwise or
anti-clockwise (Fig. 38), if there is insufficient space to
connect vertically.
24.This will allow the connection of the exhaust to the
outlet spigot.
25. All other minimum & maximum dimensions must be
adhered to, and the air inlet positioned such that it will not
be subject to rain entry.
The gas supply, gas type and pressure must be checked for
suitability before connection (see Section 7.4).
NOTE: a small amount of water may drain from the
boiler in the upright position.
1. Remove staples, open flaps and remove the cardboard
sheet. Remove the polystyrene side pieces and literature.
Two people can then lift out the boiler (Figs. 39 & 40)
2. After considering the site requirements
(see Section 7.0) position the fixing template on the wall
ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically.
3. Mark the position of the two most suitable fixing slots for
the wall plate and boiler lower fixing holes. It is preferable to
use the vertical fixing slots.
4. Mark the position of the centre of the flue hole (rear
exit). For side flue exit, mark as shown (Fig. 41).
