1.2 Introduction
The TEMPRA Boiler is a “room-sealed” appliance: it takes in the air required for combustion and
encloses all the combustion products in an hermetic compartment. The discharge of fumes and
intake of combustion air are managed through air/flue pipes that may be run horizontally in all
directions, or through a concentric flue running vertically or horizontally.
The main components of the boiler are:
-A compact heat exchanger in copper, formed by four pipes with external finning and internal
turbulence activators.
-A combustion chamber insulated to reduce heat loss and thus improve efficiency.
-Nine stainless steel burners, an oxidation- and thermal shock-resistant material specially developed for this product.
-A fan to discharge combustion products and draw in combustion air.
TEMPRA

-A boiler thermostat overheat thermostat and frost thermostat.
-A steel room-sealed compartment treated against corrosion, enclosing all the above components.
-An air differential pressure switch which, to ensure safe operation, allows burner ignition only
when the fan functions normally.
-A newly-designed gas ignition valve assembly, comprising a range rated regulator gas valve and a
flame control device. (Ignition is by an intermittent pilot flame; which lights the main burners.)
-An expansion vessel, pump, automatic air vent and air separator .
3.1 Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1994
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.
3.2 Location of Boiler
The installation of the TEMPRA must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will
provide an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bolts. The location should be in an area where the
water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the boiler the following limitations must
be observed:
The 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
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.

3.4 Air Supply
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent.
3.5 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.
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.
3.6 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 boiler must be of an adequate size.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the 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.
3.7 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. 5-6.
Important - A bypass must be fitted to ensure a minimum flow rate through the boiler of 6 l/min.
3.8 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 fig. 7.
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.

6. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
All electrical installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician, and all work shall be in
accordance with the current issue of the IEE wiring regulations.
Supplied for use on 230 V ~ 50 Hz supply, protected by a 3 Amp fuse.
The boiler must be earthed.
The method of connection to the mains supply must allow complete isolation from that supply either
by:
a) Use of 3 A fused double pole switch having a contact separation of at least 3 mm. Such a switch must
supply the appliance and immediate control circuits only (eg room thermostat, programmer etc.)
OR
b) Use of an unswitched shuttered socket outlet and 3 A fused 3 pin plug both complying with BS 1363.
All external cables must be suitable for mains voltage and should be PVC insulated cable at
least 0.75 mm2 (24/0.2 mm), to BS 6500.
All external circuits for the control of the boiler must be wired and isolated from the same isolator as
that which serves the boiler.
6.1 Electrical connection
1. The TEMPRA boiler requires a permanent live supply to the appliance (live, neutral and earth)
together with a switched line from the system controls to operate the burner.
2. When using external controls remove link wire betwen terminals 4 -5.
