The meter and supply pipes should be capable of
delivering this quantity of gas in addition to the
demand from any other appiiances in the house.

The fiow temperature is adjustable and gives a

Detailed recommendations for water circulation are
given in BS 5546. Whiist the boiler provides hot water,
there may be occasions when a
cylinder wiil be used,
for instance. if the property has two bathrooms.
Detaiied recommendations of this appiication is given
in section 3.13. Thermostatic control should be used
in the heating circuits and the @rider if one is fitted.
It must be remembered that a combination appliance
has a limited volume of hot water that can be
supplied at any one time for a given temperature.
Indeed in most respects it is equivalent to a muitipoint
water heater and many of the contra&s associated
with muitipoints appiy equally to combination boilers.
The appliance has two separate functions. to provide
heating and hot water on demand. It can have a
third
which is to supply hot water high demand through the
use
of an indirect cyiiider. where there is more than
one bathroom or if the standard
and
appointments of
the property, such as basins in ail bedrooms and a
large kitchen indicate a high usage of hot water.
Hot water produced indirect& through a cylinder can
be used to satisfy high simukaneous demand outlets bathrooms etc. whilst the
benefits
of high efficiency in
general& small quantities of
hot
water, can be fuiiy
utilised in kitchens, cloakrooms and so on.
Separate time and temperature control over hot water
generated in this way can be achieved by the use
either of two port valves or three port vaives of a flow
share or priority pattern.
It is also possible, where the occupation of the house
is variable. to provide either for a small or large load.
This is best achieved with
a tail.
small diameter cyiinder.
See section 5 for possible wiring anangements.
A domestic expansion vessel is fitted to the boiier with
a capacity of 0.16 litres. prior to the secondary heat
exchanger which enables the boiler to be
connected
to a cold main water supply containing a non-return
valve or
any
device containing a non-return valve.
