2
(24 x 0.2mm) temp. rated to 90 °C.
4.2WATER SYSTEMS AND PIPE WORK
PLASTIC PIPE WORK:
• Any plastic pipe work must have a polymeric barrier with 600mm
(minimum) length of copper pipe connected to the appliance.
• Plastic pipe work used for underfloor heating must be correctly
controlled with a thermostatic blending valve limiting the temperature
of the circuits to approximately 50 °C.
PRIMARY SYSTEMS CONNECTIONS/VALVES:
• All system connections, taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure up to 3 bar.
• Radiator valves should conform to BS2767:10.
• All other valves should conform to BS1010.
• 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.
• A drain cock is required at the lowest point in the system.
• An air vent is required at all high points in the system.
NOTICE: To prevent reverse circulation
▶ The cylinder return must be the last connection on the
common return pipe.
NOTICE: Artificially softened water must not be used to
fill the central heating system.
Pump speed characteristics
▶ In order to save as much energy as possible and the
minimise the possibility of water circulation noise.
The circulating pump should be selected and
adjusted to suit the system resistance.
OPEN VENT PRIMARY SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS:
• The open vent pipe and feed and expansion pipe must rise
continuously from the appliance.
• Close coupled feed and expansion pipe maximum separation of
150mm.
• The feed and expansion cistern must be positioned to provide a
minimum static head of 250mm above the highest point in the
heating system to the water level in the feed and expansion cistern.
• Ensure adequate space is left in the expansion cistern for expansion
of the system water.
• No valve shall be fitted in the open vent pipe or the feed and
expansion pipe.
• The open vent pipe must be at least 22mmØ.
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.
SEALED PRIMARY SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS:
• The CH sealed system must be filled using a WRAS approved filling
loop or comply with figure 3 for system fill.
• An expansion vessel, of a size suitable for the system, must be fitted
as close as possible to the appliance in the central heating return.
• Also fit a pressure gauge, a 3 bar pressure relief valve and stop cock
(fixed cylinder type or sealed system approved connection).
• No valve shall be fitted that can isolate the appliance from the
expansion vessel or pressure relief valve.
• An automatic air vent must be fitted.
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.

4.3Condensate 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. All condensate pipework must ‘fall’ from the appliance by a minimum
of 3 degrees (52mm per metre) to ensure adequate Condensate flow.
2. The pipework route must allow air to be supplied back to the
appliance for correct operation of the siphon.
3. Connection to a rainwater down pipe must include an air break.
Also:
• Keep external pipework as short as possible and not exceed 3 metres
length.
• External pipework should be increased to a minimum diameter of
32mm and ideally be insulated.
• Minimise the number of bends and connectors.
• Remove burrs after cutting pipe.
• Remove surplus solvent from the interior of the pipe.
4.3.1 CONDENSATE PIPE WORK
NOTICE:
▶ 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.
▶ The condensate pipe must be nominally
22mm Ø plastic pipe.
▶ The condensate pipe work must fall at least 52mm
per metre towards the outlet and should take the
shortest practicable route.
▶ Ensure there are no blockages in the pipe run.

Sealed system with two heat zones
Fig. 8 Two heating zones sealed system
NOTICE: Unheated internal areas.
Although the large volume siphon will reduce the risk of
freezing, condensate discharge may freeze in areas of
prolonged cold temperatures.
▶ Internal pipe runs in unheated areas such as lofts,
basements and garages should be treated as external
runs.

PRE-INSTALLATION
4.3.2 INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
In order to minimise risk of freezing during prolonged cold spells, the
following methods of installing condensate drainage pipe should be
adopted, in order of priority.
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed and
terminated so that the condensate drains away from the appliance under
gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an
internal soil and vent stack. A suitable permanent connection to the foul
waste pipe should be used.

6720644744-06.4Wo
Fig. 9Disposal to soil vent stack
Alternatively if the first option is not possible an internal kitchen,
bathroom or washing machine waste pipe etc. can be used.
Ensure that the condensate drain pipe is connected “down stream” of
the waste trap.
CONDENSATE PUMP
Where “gravity discharge” to an internal termination is not physically
possible, or where very long internal runs would be required to reach a
suitable discharge point, condensate should be removed using a
proprietary condensate pump, of a specification recommended by the
appliance or condensate pump manufacturer.
The pump outlet pipe should discharge to a suitable internal foul water
discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack or if not possible
to internal kitchen, bathroom or washing machine waste pipe etc. A
suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

▶ The use of fittings, elbows etc. should be kept to a minimum and any
internal “burrs” on cut pipe work should be removed so that the
internal pipe section is as smooth as possible.
FITTING AN EXTERNAL AIR BREAK
• Refer to figure 12 when a rain water down pipe is used to dispose of
condensate.
• An air break must be installed in the 43mm pipe work, between the
appliance condensate outlet and the drainpipe, outside the property,
to avoid flooding during adverse weather conditions.

Where the pipe terminates over an open drain or gully, the pipe should
terminate below the grating level, but above water level, in order to
minimise “wind chill” at the open end.
The use of a drain cover (such as those used to prevent blockage by
leaves) may offer further protection from wind chill.
Pipe drainage will be improved if the end is cut at 45° as opposed to a
straight cut.

Condensate drainage pipe can be run above or below
ground. If the pipe work is run under ground, care must
be taken to ensure that the pipe work “fall” towards the
disposal point is maintained
If no other discharge method is possible then the use of an externally run
condensate drainage pipe terminating at a suitable foul water discharge
point, or purpose-designed soak away, may be considered. If this
method is chosen then the following measures should be adopted:
▶ Use a CondenseSure siphon to help prevent the condensate freezing.
▶ The external run be kept as short as possible and not exceed 3
metres.
▶ The pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going
externally and the pipe diameter should be increased to 32mm
before it passes through the wall to the exterior. The pipe should be
insulated using suitable waterproof and weather resistant insulation,
if not using a CondenseSure siphon.
▶ The external pipe should take the shortest and least exposed route to
the discharge point, and should "fall" as steeply as possible away
from the appliance, with no horizontal runs in which condensate
might stand.

CONDENSATE SOAK AWAY
• The condensate soak away must be sited at least 500mm away from
building footings.
• The condensate drainage pipe may be run above or below the ground
to the soak away. The examples shown on this page run above
ground.
• The soak away must use a 100mm Ø plastic tube with two rows of
three 12mm holes on 25mm centres and 50mm from the bottom of
the tube. The holes must face away from the house.
• The tube must be surrounded by at least 100mm of limestone
chippings to a depth of 400mm.
Minimum hole size for the condensate soak away m ust be
400mm deep by 300mmØ .
In situations where there are likely to be extremes of temperature or
exposure, the use of a proprietary trace-heating system for external pipe
work, incorporating an external frost thermostat, should be considered.
If such a system is used, the requirement to use 32mm pipe does not
apply. However, all other guidance above and the instructions for the
trace heating system, should be closely followed.
NOTICE: Unheated internal areas.
▶ Internal pipe runs in unheated areas such as lofts,
basements and garages should be treated as external
runs and consideration should be given to using a
CondenseSure siphon.
4.4PRESSURE RELIEF PIPE WORK
NOTICE:
▶ The pressure relief valve is a safety device for the
appliance and if activated may discharge boiling water
or steam through the relief valve drain pipe.
▶ Care should be taken when siting the outlet pipe so
that it does not cause an obstruction or discharge
above a window, entrance or other public access
where it could cause a hazard.
• The pressure relief discharge pipe [1 or 3] should be run in at least
15mm diameter copper pipe or pipe made of a material that will
withstand PRV discharge temperatures and pressures and which
complies to BS 5252 or BS EN 1451.
• The connection to the PRV must be made in copper pipe. Plastic pipe
work must be properly supported with a maximum of 300mm
between supports to prevent sagging and run downwards away from
the appliance.
• The pressure relief should discharge away from any electrical or
other hazard, preferably to an external drain or soak away.
• Pipe [1 or 3] should be finished with a partial bend, near the outlet to
face the external wall (as shown) to help prevent freezing.
Fig. 16 Pressure relief pipe work
[1]Discharge pipe (turned back onto external wall example)
The PRV or a combined PRV/ condensate discharge can be connected
into a suitable internal waste system, the installer must ensure that all
the pipe work, including the waste pipe, is capable of withstanding PRV
temperatures and pressures.
Worcester, Bosch Group endorses a PRV or a combined PRV/
Condensate internal discharge system, provided that a Hotun hiflo
tundish is employed. The tundish is manufactured by RA Tech UK and is
WRAS approved, information on the tundish can be found at
www.hotun.co.uk.
The guidance of BS 6798 sections 6.3.5 and 6.4.3.2a and RA Tech UK
and must be followed.

[15] If a plume management kit is installed within the confines of a
carport or other covered, partially enclosed extension, then the
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.
