The code of practice for the installation,
commissioning & servicing of central heating systems
The Gledhill BoilerMate range is a WBS
listed product and complies with the WMA
Specification for integrated thermal storage
products. The principle was developed in
conjunction with British Gas. This product
is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2000
Quality System audited by BSI.
Patents Pending
The Gledhill Group’s first priority is to give a
high quality service to our customers.
Quality is built into every Gledhill product
and we hope you get satisfactory service
from Gledhill.
If not please let us know.
Building Regulations and Benchmark Commissioning
The Building Regulations (England & Wales) require that the installation of a heating
appliance be notified to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department.
From 1st April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Person Self Certification
Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly. Similar arrangements
will follow for Scotland and will apply in Northern Ireland from 1st January 06.
CORGI operates a Self Certification Scheme for gas heating appliances.
These arrangements represent a change from the situation whereby compliance with
the Building Regulations was accepted if the Benchmark Logbook was completed and
this was then left on site with the customer).
With the introduction of a self certification scheme, the Benchmark Logbook is being
replaced by a similar document in the form of a commissioning check list and a service
interval record is included with all gas appliance manuals. However, the relevant
Benchmark Logbook is still being included with all Thermal Storage products and
unvented cylinders.
Gledhill fully supports the Benchmark aims to improve the standards of installation
and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular
servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
Building Regulations require that the heating installation should comply with the
manufacturer’s instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning check
list is completed by the competent installer. This check list only applies to installations
in dwellings or some related structures.

INTRODUCTION
DESIGN
The arrangement of a typical BoilerMate A-Class
SP Solar installation is shown schematically
below. The basic unit which is covered by these
instructions incorporates the Danfoss SH - E01
solar controller.
The appliance generally follows the principles
of the standard BoilerMate A-Class SP appliance
but is fitted with a separate set of coils to
allow it to accept the maximum amount of
heat available from the solar panels/controls.
This is then used to supplement the hot water
system.
Because this product does not require a safety
discharge from a temperature and pressure
relief valve, any installations will be easy to
incorporate into the building and will not suffer
from the problems associated with using PVCu
soil stacks to take the discharge from unvented
cylinders.
The models 200 and 220 are supplied with a
single F&E cistern. All four larger models are
supplied with two F&E cisterns. The single cistern
will fit within the cupboard in a typical storey
height cupboard but when two cisterns are
used, these will need to be located elsewhere.
The operation of the appliance/solar system is
controlled by a number of sensors. The location
and reference numbers of the various sensors
is shown eg 2, S6.
Sensors S1/S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 are connected
to the appliance control PCB which operates all
the heating and hot water functions as the basic
BoilerMate appliance.
Sensors T1, T2 and T3 are connected to the
Danfoss controller and operate all the solar
functions.
Sensor T3 provides a high temperature interlock
to de-activate the solar pump at a temperature
of 90°C in the store.
Although sensors T3 and T2 are wired in to the
solar controller the cable provided for Sensor T1
(3 metres long) may require to be extended by
the installer dependant on the location of the
solar panels/appliance. (2 x 0.75mm2 double
insulated cable) up to a maximum total length
of 50 metres.
A safety device (pressure relief valve) to control
the risk of over-pressure in system components
should be fitted as shown on the Solar System
diagram. A termination from a safety pressure
device should minimise the risk of damage
to persons or materials. Suitable locations are
a high temperature receptacle, an internal

INTRODUCTION
gulley or else issue externally at ground level.
High level termination from walls or on roofs
could cause injury to people or animals below
if the valve were to release scalding water and
steam.
The pipe leading to the safety device and
the collec tor should be of rigid and nondeformable construction, without any possibility
of restriction or disclosure by any other fitted
component.
In order to meet the Building Regulations
requirement to reduce the rate of accumulation
of scale in hard water areas, it is important
that the installer checks the hardness of the
incoming water supply.
If this exceeds 200ppm (mg/l), we recommend
that the factory fitted scale inhibitor is ordered
as an optional extra.
If it exceeds 300ppm (mg/l), we recommend the
use of a polyphosphate type of scale inhibitor.
This can also be ordered as an optional extra but
will need fitting on site by the installer.
Note:
If the summer towel rail circuit is required, this
will need to be a separate zoned circuit from the
heating circuit complete with its own time and
temperature controls.
The standard manual fill model BoilerMate AClass SP SOL appliance is shown. A ballvalve and
overflow are available as an optional extra at the
time of order. If required, these should be fitted
in the plain F&E cistern in a position to suit the
individual site conditions.

are approximate and subject to a tolerance of
+/-20mm in any direction. A 15mm cold water
supply and a 22mm warning/overflow pipe
may also be required for the separate feed and
