General Description
The Ferroli 901 is a wall mounted, room sealed, fan assisted, combination boiler for Central Heating
(C.H.) and domestic Hot Water (D.H.W.).
The boiler is of light weight construction and the heat exchanger provides Central Heating and Domestic
Hot Water from an integrally designed unit. The boiler contains its own expansion vessel for sealed systems.
The wall mounting jig contains all the isolating cocks for the water and gas supplies which can be fitted to
the wall and provided with all the necessary gas and water connections prior to the boiler being attached.
The flue can either be left hand, right hand or rear. There are three flue lengths available and they are 0.75
metres (for wall thickness up to 565 mm), 2 metres (for wall thickness up to 1815 mm) and 3 metres (for wall
thickness up to 2815 mm). These wall thicknesses assume a rear flue aoutlet. For side flue outlet the effective
wall thickness for each flue length is reduced by 91 mm plus the distance of the appliance from the side wall.
The Central Heating and the Domestic Hot Water temperature is controlled by the Honeywell Modureg valve
in conjunction with the P.C.B. The boiler is fitted with its own Central Heating pump. The pump is switched
ON/OFF by the time clock and/or a 24 Volt room thermostat. The pump circuit also has a 6 minute over-run
time. There is a Domestic Hot Water flow switch fitted and when there is a demand for Domestic Hot
Water (flow of more than 0.5 gallon/minute, 2.5 litre/minute) the Central Heating pump is switched off
making available the maximum output of the gas burner for Domestic Hot Water. On the P.C.B. the output
for Central Heating can be set. However, this is not required for the majorities of installations as the boiler
will automatically adjust its output to the system demand-AUTO-MISER control. This does not influence the
maximum output for domestic hot water. The appliance is not suitable for external installation.

Installation Details
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1984
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current
I.E.E. Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with the Regulations
may lead to prosecution; it is in your interest and that of safety to ensure that the law is complied with.
Important - If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed buiding it should be fitted in accordance
with the British Gas publication; Guide for Gas Installation in Timber Frame Housing: Reference DM2.
If in doubt advice must be sought from the Local Gas Region of British Gas Plc.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the
provide an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly. The location should be in an area where
the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the following
limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention
is drawn to the requirements of the current, i.e. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions
of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in
a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch
or appliance control utilising mains electricity, should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
Terminal Position
901 must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will

Flue system
The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler or from either side.
A standard flue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied
(equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815 mm for rear flues and deduct 91 mm plus distance
from side wall for side outlet flues).
It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter
the building, or enter any adjacent building, through ventilators, windows, doors, natural air infiltration, or forced
ventilation/air conditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas Region should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish
the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas Region.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas Region, or by a Local Gas Region's Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20 mbar MINIMUM.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 3.3 m3/h (116 ft3/h) of natural gas.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6981-1988. All pipework
must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted on the manifold assembly.
Water System
Central Heating
It must be a sealed system. Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342
Part. 2. Pipework not forming part of the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses
or possible freezing (i.e. in roof spaces or ventilated underfloor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at
the lowest point of the system in accessible locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The
drain taps should be in accordance with BS2879. Copper tubing to BS2871, Part. 1 is recommended for water
carrying pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should have a gradient where possible to facilitate the removal
of air. It should be ensured that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural point for collecting air. A typical heating
system with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fig. 6.
Important - A bypass must be fitted to ensure a minimum flow rate through the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should
be fitted as far as possible from the boiler if thermostatic radiator valves are fitted throughout.
Make up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798,
for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's
central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system
directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaw. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fit a water softener or descaler in «hard water areas». A 15 mm copper connection point on the boiler
jig bracket for attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply
is 10 bar (145 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducing valve
must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply in an inconspicuous but accessible position preferable between
3 and 5 metres (10-16 ft) before the appliance. Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - Is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain
water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.

While filling, vent the heat exchanger at venting point by loosening cap (fig. 20) and vent each radiator.
Tighten cap on heat exchanger air vent.
Ensure the working pressure, when filled, is between 1 to 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge (see technical
data).
Check the system for leaks.
Flush system in accordance with B.S. 7593
8.2 Filling the Domestic Hot Water System
Close all hot water draw off points. Open main cold water stop cock and ensure the cold water inlet
cock is open at the boiler jig bracket (fig. 11). Slowly open each hot tap in turn until clean water, free
from air pockets, is seen.
Check system for leaks.
8.3 Electricity Supply
Carry out preliminary checks (i.e. earth continuity, polarily short circuit and resistance to earth
using a suitable multimeter).
8.4 The Gas Installation
The whole of the gas installation including the meter, should be inspected and tested for soundness,
and purged in accordance with the recommendations of BS6891-1988.

8.7 D.H.W. Burner Pressure
The domestic hot water burner pressure is not range rateable and not adjustable but the maximum and
minimum burner pressure should be checked as follows:
a. Check electricity supply is still off.
b. Open a D.H.W. tap at high flow until the water runs cool and leave running.
c. Switch on the electricity supply.
d. The pressure should be 14 mbar -/+ 0.5 mbar.
e. Disconnect one of the wires from the «Modureg» (fig. 22), this will reduce the burner to minimum
which should read 3.0 mbar +/- 0.5 mbar. If the burner pressure is not as stated check the
inlet working pressure (fig. 22) which should be minimum 20 mbar. If that is correct, consult Ferroli. No
attempt should be made to alter D.H.W. burner pressure.
f. Switch off electrical supply and close hot tap.
g. Reconnect the wire to the «Modureg». Remove pressure gauge, tighten the test screws.
h. Replace control panel (2 screws).
i. Turn on electricity supply, open a hot tap to full flow and when the burner lights, test for gas soundness
with a leak detection fluid around the gas valve and connections including the pressure test point
screws.
Note - The cutting of the electricity supply may result in the pilot being extinguished - re-light if need
be, after waiting three minutes at least.
9.0 SYSTEM OPERATION
Let the boiler operate normally on central heating for about 30 minutes.
I)Vent radiators.
II)Vent heat exchanger.
III)Examine all pipework for leakage.
IV) Turn on a D.H.W. tap and check that the C.H. pump stops running.
V)As the D.H.W. temperature reaches 60°C check the burner for modulation.
Turn the gas valve «off», (twist left hand white button 1/12th turn clockwise and release), and isolate
electricity supply.
Drain down the central heating system fully, when hot.
Refill the system as previously instructed. Repeat the venting.
Examine the system's water pressure and top up as necessary.
Replace the casing front panel and close the control panel cover.
10.0 HANDING OVER TO THE USER
After completion of installation and commissioning of the system:
a.Hand over the User's Instructions' to the Householder and explain His/Her responsability under the Gas
safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994.
b.Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting down procedure.
c.Explain the operation of the boiler including the use and adjustment of ALL system controls.
Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system and to the building,
in the event of the system remaining inoperative during frost conditions.
d.Stress the importance of regular servicing by a qualified Heating Engineer and that a comprehensive
service should be carried out at LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
