4Pre-Installation
NOTICE:
Risk of damage to system or appliance!
Before installation
▶ All the following Pre-Installation sections must be read and
requirements met before starting appliance or flue installations.
4.1System preparation
4.1.1Artificially softened water
It is possible to have an ion exchange water softener fitted to the cold
water system of the property. However, the appliance requires an
untreated cold water connection taken from the mains supply, before the
water softener, to the primary water filling point of the heating system.
Alternatively there are water softening/treatment appliances that do not
adjust or alter the pH levels of the water. With these appliances it may not
be necessary to provide an untreated water by-pass to the primary water
filling point of the heat system.
NOTICE:
▶ Salt based softened water must not be used to fill the central heating
system.
4.1.2Water systems and pipe work
Pre-Installation
Hot water:
• Taps and mixing valves must be capable of sustaining a pressure up to
10 bar.
• Hot water temperature and flow rate are affected by the size and
insulation of pipe work making up the distribution system and are
controlled by the hot water tap and the water main inlet pressure. A
mixing valve can be fitted if a more permanent temperature setting is
required.
• If using more than one outlet at once causes water flow starvation, fit
flow balancing valves or Ball-O-Fix valves to the appropriate outlets.
Primary system considerations - Combi & System appliances
Sealed system
• The CH sealed system must be filled using a WRAS approved filling
loop or comply with examples in 4.1.4 "System fill" section.
• Where the system volume is more than 100 litres or exceeds 2.5 bar
at maximum heating temperature an additional expansion vessel [2]
must be fitted as close as possible to the appliance in the central
heating return.
• Pressurise the extra expansion vessel [2] to the same value as the
built-in expansion vessel - refer to the Technical data page.
1
2
Primary system plastic pipework:
• Any plastic pipe work must have a polymeric barrier, complying with
BS 7921 and installed to BS 5955 with 600mm (minimum) length of
copper connected to the appliance.
• Plastic pipe work used for under-floor heating must be correctly
controlled with a thermostatic blending valve limiting the
temperature of the circuits to approximately 50°C with 1000mm
(minimum) length of copper or steel pipe connected to the
appliance.
Primary system/connections/valves:
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.
• All system connections, taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure of 3 bar.
• Radiator valves should conform to BS 2767:10.
• All other valves should conform to BS 1010.
• It is best practice to fit Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV's) to all
radiators, except the area where the room thermostat is sited which
must be fitted with lockshield valves that are left open.
• If the circulating pump speed is fixed and system circulation can be
significantly adjusted or stopped by TRV's or zone valves, a system
bypass should be installed to give at least a 3 metre circuit when
activated. However; any appliance fitted with a modulating pump
may not require a system bypass.
• Drain cocks are required at all the lowest points on the system.
• Air vents are required at all high points on the system.
• If a shower head can be immersed in water or comes closer than
25mm from the top edge of a bath or shower tray spill-over level then
an anti-siphon appliance must be fitted to the shower hose.
• Bidets with direct hot and cold mains water can be used (with the
approval of the local water authority) and must be the over rim
flushing type with shrouded outlets to prevent the fitting of hand held
sprays.

Pre-Installation
Checking the size of the expansion vessel
To determine whether an additional expansion vessel is required: Follow
the steps below:
▶ Calculate the total system volume (litres). Plotting a line vertically on
the chart ( Fig. 5).
▶ Determine the central heating maximum operating flow temprature
(73 °C for condensing). Plot a line horizontally on the chart ( Fig.
5).
▶ Determine the pre charge in the expansion vessel based on static
head, 1 meter = 0.1 bar. (default = 10 metres).
▶ Select a curve from the key below (1-5).
If the dissected lines are in area A then no additional expansion is
required.
If the dissected line is in are B then an additional expansion vessel must
be installed ( Fig. 4).

Unvented cylinders
In all cases the cylinder manufacturer must be contacted for
confirmation their product is suitable for the installation layout shown in
figure 9.
Although the accepted common practice of a 2-port motorised valve
installed in the primary flow pipe to the cylinder and wired to the dualthermostat supplied with the cylinder. It is possible to use the integral
diverter valve kit and not need the 2-port motorised valve to cut the flow
of heat to the cylinder to comply with Building Regulation Part G3.
• The integral diverter valve kit cylinder sensor must be used.
• The general layout (figure 9) can be used for unvented cylinder by
utilising the high limit thermal cut out of the cylinder dual-thermostat
to interrupt the permanent live to the appliance, preventing any heat
being produced from the appliance.
Example layout with unvented cylinder & cylinder safety valve.
If required by the cylinder manufacture to fit/use the cylinder safety valve
then this can also be carried out (figure 10) with the integral diverter
valve kit.
• The cylinder safety valve and dual-thermostat (control thermostat
and high limit thermal cut out) are wired to interrupt the permanent
live to the appliance, preventing any heat being produced from the
appliance.

Pre-Installation
exhaust terminal must be positioned at least 1200mm away from
any opening into the building which is sited within the footprint of
the carport.
If the exhaust terminal is extended at least 300mm beyond the
footprint of the carport then the distance from the terminal to an
opening within the carport can be reduced to 600mm.
The exhaust terminal can also be routed though the roof of the
carport providing 25mm clearance is provided around the flue
pipe to any flammable material and that it extends at least 300mm
above the roof.
The air intake must have a minimum 150mm clearance to any
opening in the building in order to ensure the integrity of the
structure is maintained. If the exhaust terminates within the
footprint of the carport then the carport must have at least 2 sides
completely open. If the exhaust terminates at least 300mm
beyond the footprint of the carport then the carport must have at
least one completely open side. The exhaust terminal must be
positioned to ensure that plume will not cause nuisance or
damage to vehicles and that minimum clear distances in front of
the terminal will not be impeded by vehicles.
Note:
▶ Installations in car ports are not recommended.
▶ The flue cannot be lower than 1,000mm from the top of a light well
due to the build up of combustion products.
▶ Dimensions from a flue terminal to a fanned air inlet to be determined
by the ventilation equipment manufacturer.
▶ Plume kits running horizontally must have at least a 3° fall back to the
appliance for proper disposal of condensate, except or the initial
horizontal run from the terminal.
The initial plume kit horizontal run will have at least a 10° fall back to
the appliance, due to the terminal elbow design, for proper disposal
of the condensate.
4.5Condensate discharge
Full details on condensate discharge.
▶ Follow the latest version of BS6798 and HHIC guidance.
For correct installation and trouble free operation of the appliance the
following advice should be followed:
1. To minimize the risk of freezing, wherever possible: the
condensate drain should be installed internally.
2. All condensate pipe work must ‘fall’ from the appliance by a minimum
of 3° (52mm per metre) to ensure adequate condensate flow.
3. The pipe work route must allow air to be supplied back to the
appliance for correct operation.
4. Connection to a rainwater down pipe must include an air break.
Also:
• The condensate pipe work connected to the condensate drain outlet
on the appliance should have a minimum internal diameter (ID) of
19mm.
• Keep external pipe work as short as possible and do not exceed 3
metres length.
Unless there is no means of routing the pipe internally. Further
precautions against freezing must be taken if external pipe runs
exceed 3m.
• External pipe work should have a minimum internal diameter (ID) of
30mm.
• Minimise the number of bends and connectors.
• Remove burrs after cutting pipe.
• Remove surplus solvent from the interior of the pipe.
• The condensate pipe work shall be run in standard drainpipe
material, e.g. poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), unplasticized (vinyl
chloride) (PVC-U), acrylonitrilebutadiene.styrene (ABS),
polypropylene (PP) or chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC.C).
4.5.1Appliance siphonic condensate trap
The appliance has a large capacity condensate trap reducing the risk of
condensate discharge pipe work freezing up in prolonged cold
temperatures.
The expanded siphonic operation discharges every 10 to 20 minutes.
Resulting in:
• Increased velocity and flow rate.
• With less frequent siphonic actions per hour, the condensate pipe
work is empty for longer.
• Significantly reducing freezing potential for a 48 hour period at 15 °C, provided the installation parameters listed below are followed.

4.5.2Condensate pipe work
NOTICE:
General consideration
▶ Where a new or replacement appliance is being installed, access to
an internal “gravity discharge” point should be one of the factors
considered in determining appliance location.
▶ Condensate pipe connection at the appliance:
The condensate pipe must have a nominally outside diameter of
22mm plastic pipe.
▶ Ensure there are no blockages in the pipe run.
▶ Ensure that the discharge method for the installation can effectively
handle the condensate waste from the appliance.
