1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BUILDING REGULATIONS AND BENCHMARK CHECKLIST
Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of the installation of a heating appliance to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department.
From 1 April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certification Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.
CORGI operates a Self Certification Scheme for gas heating appliances.
With the introduction of Self Certification Schemes, the Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn. However, a similar document in the form of a commissioning checklist and service interval record is incorporated at the back of these instructions.
This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme. Its aim is 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 installations should comply with manufacturer’s instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning checklist is completed by the installer. The relevant section of Building Regulations only relates to dwellings. Therefore the checklist only applies if the appliance is being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1. The appliances incorporate a microprocessor based, fully modulating air/gas ratio control system with direct burner ignition. This provides a modulated heat output to either central heating (CH) or domestic hot water (DHW) demands, with internal frost protection provided as standard. The heat exchanger is constructed from stainless steel encased in high temperature polymer.
A combined circulating pump, diverter valve and automatic air vent assembly, pressure gauge, safety valve and system expansion vessel are included.
Isolation valves are fitted to the service connections. The appliances have a DHW flow detection device, which gives priority to DHW demand and proportions the required heating load to the DHW flow rate. An electro-mechanical 24 hour time clock is also fitted as standard.
The boiler has a pump over run feature therefore the central heating system must include either a proprietary automatic bypass valve or a radiator must be fitted with lock shield valves. A separate CH expansion vessel is not required if the total CH system content is less than 84 litres. However one is required for systems with volumes greater than 84 litres; refer to section 6.5. A separate DHW expansion vessel is not required. It is recommended that a drain cock is fitted at the lowest point in the system.

3.0 BOILER OPERATION
3.1 CENTRAL HEATING MODE
1. With a demand for heating, the pump, circulates water through the primary circuit.
2. Once the main burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas rate to maintain the heating temperature measured by the temperature sensors.
3. When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished and a 5 minute delay occurs before the burner will re-light (anti­cycling), the pump continues to run for a period of 2 minutes (Pump Overrun).

3.2 DOMESTIC HOT WATER MODE
1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A demand at a tap or shower will override any central heating requirement.
2. The flow of water will operate the Flow Turbine which requests the 3 way valve to change position. This will allow the pump to circulate the primary water through the DHW plate heat exchanger.
3. The burner will light automatically and the temperature of the domestic hot water is controlled by the temperature sensors.
4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases the burner will extinguish and the diverter valve will remain in the domestic hot water mode, unless there is demand for central heating.
3.3 FROST PROTECTION MODE
1. Providing there is mains power supply to the appliance, the frost protection mode is integral. If the system temperature falls below 5°C then the boiler will fire on its minimum setting until a flow temperature of 20°C is reached. Further protection can be incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.
3.4 PUMP PROTECTION
1. The pump will automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24 hours to prevent sticking.

6.0 SYSTEM DETAILS
6.1 INFORMATION
1. The Dimplex Combi is a ‘Water Byelaws Scheme - Approved Product’. Reference to the Water Research Council publications, ‘Water fittings and materials directory’ and ‘Water supply byelaws guide’ give full details of byelaws and the IRNs.
© Dimplex Boilers 2008
11
6.3 SYSTEM CONTROL
1. The boiler is fitted with an integral mechanical timer.
2. It is recommended that external controls e.g. room thermostat are fitted to further improve the operating efficiency of the boiler and system.
6.2 CENTRAL HEATING CIRCUIT
1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED SYSTEMS ONLY.
Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will invalidate the appliance warranty.
• Central heating water systems will be subject to corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is applied. This means that the efficiency of the system will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within the system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler noise and circulation problems.
• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within the system, which can lead to damage of system components.
• All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed out. Using, for example Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 or X400 or Fernox Superfloc Universal Cleanser. They should be used following the flushing agent manufacturer’s instructions.
• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing agents/descalers should comply to BS7593 requirements, e.g. Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 and Femox-Copal which should be used following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions.
• It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installation, system modification and at every service in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor stockists.)
• For information or advice regarding any of the above contact Technical Enquiries - Tel: 0844 3711121.
• If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted, a radiator must be fitted with two lock shield valves or the system must include a proprietary automatic bypass valve, to enable correct operation of the pump over-run facility.

6.0 SYSTEM DETAILS
6.4 SYSTEM FILLING AND PRESSURISING
1. A filling point connection on the central heating return pipework must be provided for initial filling and pressurising and subsequent topping up of the system.
A filling loop is provided loose with the boiler
2. The filling method adopted must comply with all relevant water supply regulations and use approved equipment.
3. Further details are given in; for GB: Guidance G24.2 and recommendation R24.2 of the Water Regulations Guide. for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
4. The sealed primary circuits may be filled or topped up using a temporary connection between the circuit and a supply pipe, provided a ‘Listed’ double check valve or some other no less effective backflow prevention device is permanently connected at the inlet to the circuit and the temporary connection is removed after use.

© Dimplex Boilers 2008
6.5 EXPANSION VESSEL (CENTRAL HEATING ONLY)
1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to 1 bar. Therefore the minimum cold fill pressure is 2 bar. The vessel is suitable for correct operation for system capacities up to 84 litres. For greater system capacities an additional expansion vessel must be fitted. For GB refer to BS 7074 Pt 1. For IE, the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
6.6 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar, therefore all pipework, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess of 3 bar and temperature greater than 100°C.
2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be not less than 15mm diameter, run continuously downward, and discharge outside the building, preferably over a drain. It should be routed in such a manner that no hazard occurs to occupants or causes damage to wiring or electrical components. The end of the pipe should terminate facing down and towards the wall.
NOTE: Boiling water/steam could discharge from the pipe, therefore it should be terminated away from windows and doors.

6.0 SYSTEM DETAILS
6.7 DOMESTIC HOT WATER CIRCUIT
1. All DHW circuits, connections, fittings, etc. should be fully in accordance with relevant standards and water supply regulations.
2. Further guidance is given in: for GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to R24 of the Water Regulations Guide. for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
3. When the domestic water system includes any device which prevents water expanding back towards the supply (check valve, loose jumpered stopcock, water meter, water treatment device) then an expansion vessel must be fitted (e.g. Zilmet 160ml, R1/215bar). A single check valve must be fitted as shown in Fig. 10 to prevent backflow to the supply pipe and to ensure the efficient operation of the expansion vessel which is required to accommodate the thermal expansion of the water. If the hot water expansion is not provided for, then high pressures can develop which may result in damage to fittings and devices on the system.
4. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 10 bar, therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressure in excess of 10 bar. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted for pressures in excess of 10 bar.
5. The final 600mm of the cold mains supply and domestic hot water outlet must be made in 15mm copper pipe.
6. A cold mains flow regulator is fitted on the inlet to the flow turbine (see Figs. 2 & 3 - page 8) to control water flow rates. This may be removed to obtain higher flow rates. Flow rates higher than specified for the appliance will reduce the domestic hot water temperature.

7.4 GAS SUPPLY
1. The gas installation should be in accordance with the relevant standards. In GB this is BS 6891. In IE this is the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
2. The connection to the appliance is a 22mm copper tail located at the rear of the gas service cock (Fig. 13).
3. Ensure that the pipework from the meter to the appliance is of adequate size, and the demands of any other gas appliance in the property are taken into consideration. Do not use pipes of a smaller diameter than the boiler gas connection (22mm).
4. For boilers connected to use LPG (propane), the inlet pressure must be 37mbar.
NOTE:
The completed installation should always be tested for gas tightness
7.5 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
1. External wiring must be correctly earthed, polarised and in accordance with relevant regulations/rules. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of the ETGI rules.
2. The mains supply is 230V - 50Hz fused at 3A
NOTE:
The mains supply connection must allow complete electrical isolation of the appliance and system controls only.

7.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS
7.6 CONDENSATE DRAIN
NOTE:
The appliance is fitted with a trap the depth of which is >= 75mm, therefore no other traps are required in the condensate run.
The condensation discharge pipe must not rise at any point along its length. There MUST be a fall of AT LEAST 2.5° (50mm per metre) along the entire run.
1. The condensate outlet will accept 21.5mm (3/4in) plastic overflow pipe which should discharge internally into the household drainage system, downstream of all other traps. if this is not possible, discharge into an outside drain is acceptable.
2. Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any national or local regulations in force.
BS 6798:2000 & Part HI of the Building Regulations give further guidance.
3. Metal pipework is NOT suitable for use in condensate discharge systems.
4. The pipe should be a minimum of 21.5mm diameter and must be supported properly.
5. I
It is advisable to keep the condensate pipe internal.
6. E
External runs greater than 3 metres or runs in cold areas
should use 32mm waste pipe.
7. If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire condensate discharge pipe should be treated as an external run.
8. In all cases discharge pipe must be installed to aid disposal of the condensate.
9. When discharging condensate into a soil stack or waste pipe the effects of existing plumbing must be considered. If soil pipes or waste pipes are subjected to internal pressure fluctuations when WC’s are flushed or sinks emptied then back-pressure may force water out of the boiler trap and cause appliance lockout. Examples are shown of the following methods of terminations:­i) to an internal soil & vent pipe ii) via and internal discharge branch (e.g. sink waste) iii) to a drain or gully iv) to a purpose made soakaway
10. In exceptional circumstances, such as when a boiler is installed in a basement without drainage, it may be necessary to install a condensate pump to carry condensate up to ground/ drain level. Such products are available from most plumbing merchants. For help with selecting a condensate pump contact Dimplex Boilers - Tel: 0844 3711121.
WARNING:
There must be no air breaks in the condensate
pipework or drainage system.

8.5 Kit C Horizontal Anti-Plume Flue Kit (C13) - Part No. 956084
If the standard horizontal terminal is likely to cause nuisance to a neighbour or buildings, because of excess pluming, then this particular flue kit raises the flue gas outlet point to a higher elevation with the minimum amount of changes. The flue gas duct is teed-off from the concentric part and covered by an 80mm outer tube to protect the flue duct from freezing. The air in-take remains at the lower level (see Fig. 24). If choosing this option then the external flue duct length should be taken into account when calculating equivalent flue length. For installation details refer to the flue kit instructions. Dimensions from vertical terminals to opening windows should be in line with Fig. 19.
(For use with Standard horizontal telescopic flue kit - Part no. 956120 - only).
This kit is provided to assist in fitting a condensing boiler with reduced clearances when fitted in good practice according to the Guide to Condensing Boiler Installation published by DEFRA/HMSO.
This kit allows the boiler flue outlet to be directed to the left or to the right only.
Suitable for installations if the appliance cannot be repositioned and where other horizontal flue options may cause some nuisance to neighbours or buildings. The flue kit contains some additional 45° elbows and extension ducts as well as a special wall bracket to pass the guttering (see Fig. 26). The concentric flue will be routed vertically alongside the outside wall to above the roofline. Special seals are required to prevent rainwater penetrating the pipe joints. For installation details refer to the flue kit instructions.

8.11 Additional Concentric Flue Kit Accessories
The following additional concentric kit accessories are available as optional extras.
Flue Extension Ducts - 1000 mm (956093) and 500 mm (956092), (each duct extends the flue length by up to 950 mm and 450 mm respectively). 93° Extension Elbow (956091) - Allows an additional bend in the flue, and has an ‘equivalent length’ of 1550 mm. This elbow is mechanically different from the flanged elbow supplied as standard with the appliance, but has the same equivalent length. 45° Extension Elbow (956090) - Allows an additional bend in the flue and has an ‘equivalent length’ of 775 mm. Vertical Turret Socket (956087) - For use with elevated horizontal flues and vertical terminals. Vertical Roof Terminal - For use where an external wall is not available, or where it is desirable to route the ducts vertically.
For installation details refer to the instructions provided with the individual flue kits.
These optional kits may be used with the standard flue kits to produce an extensive range of flue options, providing that the following rules are strictly obeyed.
a) The maximum/minimum permissible length of the room sealed flue system are: Horizontal flue terminal (all orientations) maximum 10000 mm
Horizontal flue terminal (rear exit) minimum 250 mm
Vertical flue terminal maximum 12000 mm
Vertical flue terminal minimum 600 mm
The ‘equivalent’ flue length must not exceed the maximum values stated.
b) The standard terminal must be fitted horizontally; horizontal ducts must have a continuous fall towards the appliance of
1.5° to 3°. This ensures condensate runs back into the appliance from the flue system. The vertical terminal must always be used if a vertical outlet is required.
c) The concentric flue system must use either a flanged elbow or a vertical flue turret socket at the entry/exit to the appliance.
d) All joints must be correctly made and secured in accordance with the installation instructions. When cutting ducts, avoid swarf, uneven and sharp edges to maintain duct integrity.
Refer to Fig. 19 & 20 to determine which option kits are required before commencing the installation. Instructions for installing the appliance with a horizontal flue and straight extension ducts are included in the main text of these instructions (section 9.5).
