Introduction
The 18si boiler is a wall mounted modulating boiler with
electronic ignition providing central heating.
The boiler is of the II2H3+ category for use with Natural Gas
(G20) as distributed in the United Kingdom, or Butane (G30),
Propane (G31) with the appropriate conversion kit.
The boiler has a fan assisted balanced flue which both discharges
the products of combustion to and draws the combustion air
from the outside of the room.
The boiler is suitable for top outlet flue connection only but can
be fitted with horizontal flue, vertical flue or twin-pipe flue. Refer
to flue options guide for further information, this is available from
your nearest stockist.
The central heating temperature is user adjustable from the
boiler control panel.
Domestic hot water demand always has priority over heating
demand.
The pump, expansion vessel and associated safety devices are
all fitted within the boiler.
The boiler can be installed against either an external wall or on
an adjacent inside wall, that is, the flue system will pass directly
to the rear or to either side to the terminal fitted on the outside
wall face.
The installation must be carried out by a qualified registered
person in accordance with the relevant requirements of The
Building Regulations, The Water Byelaws, The Building
Standards (Scotland) Regulations and any applicable local
regulations.
These instructions should be carefully followed for the safe and
economical use of your boiler.
Electrical Supply
WARNING: This boiler must be earthed.
All system components shall be of an approved type and shall
be connected in accordance with the current issue of BS7671
and any applicable local regulations.
All external wiring between the appliance and the electrical
supply and earthing requirements shall comply with the current
IEE Regulations.
Connection of the boiler and system controls to the mains
supply must be through a common isolator and must be fused
3A, maximum. This method of connection must be by a fused
double pole isolating switch, with a minimum contact separation
of 3mm on both poles. The switch should be readily accessible
and preferably adjacent to the appliance. It should supply the
appliance only and be easily identifiable as so doing.
Alternatively, an unswitched shuttered socket outlet and 3A
fused 3 pin plug, both to the current issue of BS1363 may be
used provided that they are not used in a room containing a bath
or shower.
Wiring to the boiler must be PVC 85oC insulated cable, not less
than 0.75mm
2
(24/0.20mm).
Gas safety (Installation and use) Regulations
In your interests and that of gas safety, it is the law that ALL gas
appliances are installed and serviced by a qualified registered
person in accordance with the above regulations.
Gas leak or fault
If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected, turn the boiler off and
consult the local gas supply company or your installation/
service company.
Air in the heating system
Persistent air in the heating system may indicate leaks in the
system or corrosion taking place. Call your Installation/Servicing
company.
Overheating safety
In the event of a problem, the overheating safety devices cause
safety shutdown of the boiler. If this happens, call your
Installation/Servicing company.
Boiler controls
The control panel, located at the lower front of the boiler casing,
see diagram 1, allows the boiler to be started, shut down,
controlled and monitored during use.
Flue
Do not obstruct the outside terminal of the flue.
Ancillary equipment
A range of flue accessories are available including vertical
flues, twin-pipe flues, bends etc.
For further information contact your supplier.
Controls and lighting
Your 18si boiler has been factory configured to operate at the
heart of an existing installation. However, because many
installations are specially designed, do not hesitate to contact
your installer who will be able to ensure that you get the best
performance from your installation, by adjusting the heating
circuit's maximum output or temperature.
Once these settings have been made, you can still adjust the
temperature to suit your needs.
Central heating adjustment
The selector switch enables you to vary the temperature of the
water in the central heating circuit from the minimum setting
(approx. 38˚C) up to the maximum temperature ( approx.
87˚C)set by your installer. Most of the time, the mid position will
meet your needs but the selector should be moved nearer to the
maximum setting in very cold weather when your home is not
reaching the required temperature.

Draining
Protection against freezing
The boiler has a built in frost protection programme as long as
the electricity and gas are left switched on.
If the temperature within the appliance falls to 3˚C the burner
and system pump are activated.
When the temperature inside the appliance reaches 10˚C the
burner will shut down and after a short period the pump will stop.
This device primarily protects the boiler. Any other exposed
areas of the system should be protected by a seperate frost
thermostat.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any long periods during severe
weather conditions, it is recommended that the whole system,
including the boiler, be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.
If in doubt, consult your servicing company.
Draining and filling
Caution: The boiler is installed as part of a sealed system which
must only be drained and filled by a competent person.

Safety Devices
The 18si incorporates a visual fault display that indicates
certain fault conditions, (red flashing light) should they occur.
Should the boiler fail to operate during Commissioning, the
most likely fault is that the gas supply to the boiler has not been
turned on or purged sufficiently or that there is no pressure in the
heating system.
General safety devices
Air flow rate safety device
If an obstruction, even partial, of the flue occurs, for any reason
whatsoever, the built in safety system of the boiler will turn the
boiler OFF, the red light will flash and the fan will continue to run.
The boiler will be ready to operate when the fault has been
cleared.
Heating safety valve
CAUTION: A heating safety valve with a discharge pipe is fitted
to this boiler.
The valve MUST NOT BE TOUCHED except by a qualified
registered person. If the valve discharges at any time, switch the
boiler off and isolate it from the electrical supply. Contact your
installation/service company.
If the gas supply is interrupted
The boiler switches over to safety mode, the red light will flash.
Call a qualified service engineer or Heatcall (Glow-worm’s own
service organisation) using the telephone number on the front
cover of this literature.
Air in pipes
Important: A central heating system can not operate correctly
unless it is filled with water and air bled from the system. If these
conditions are not met the system may be noisy.
Bleed the air in the radiators and adjust the pressure if system
requires. If the system requires filling to often this may be due
to minor leaks or corrosion in the system. Call a qualified
service engineer or Heatcall (Glow-worm’s own service
organisation) using the telephone number on the front cover of
this literature.
Frost protection
The 18si has a built in frost protection device that protects the
boiler from freezing. If the boiler is to be left and there is a risk
of frost, ensure that the gas and electrical supplies are left
connected. The frost protection device will light the boiler when
the temperature of the boiler water falls below 6°C. When the
temperature reaches 16°C, the boiler stops.
Note : This device works irrespective of any room thermostat
setting and will protect the complete heating system.
In case of power supply failure
The boiler no longer operates. As soon as power supply is
restored, the boiler will be automatically restarted.
Servicing and Maintenance
To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the
appliance it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as
necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will
depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage,
but in general once a year should be enough.
If this appliance is installed in a rented property there is a duty
of care imposed on the owner of the property by the current
issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations,
Section 35.
Servicing/maintenance should be carried out by a competent
person in accordance with the rules in force in the countries of
destination.
To obtain service, please call your installer or Heatcall (Glow-worm’s own service organisation) using the telephone number
behind the controls cover door.
Please be advised that the ‘Benchmark’ logbook should be
completed by the installation engineer on completion of
commissioning and servicing.

3 Heating System Design
• The 18si is for use only with sealed central heating systems.
• Heating surfaces may consist of radiators, convectors or fan
assisted convectors.
• The safety valve is an integral part of the boiler and it cannot
be adjusted.
• The circulation pump is integral with the boiler.
Pipe sectional areas shall be determined in accordance with
normal practices, using the output/pressure curve
(diagram 1.1). The distribution system shall be calculated in
accordance with the output requirements of the actual system,
not the maximum output of the boiler. However, provision shall
be made to ensure sufficient flow so that the temperature
difference between the flow and return pipes be less than or
equal to 20
through the boiler must not be allowed to fall below that given.
• The system can be fitted with a lockable balancing valve if
necessary in the main flow or return pipes shown as valve “A”
in diagram 3.1.
• The piping system shall be routed so as to avoid any air
pockets and facilitate permanent venting of the installation.
Bleed fittings must be provided at every high point of the system
and on all radiators.
• The total volume of water permitted for the heating system
depends, amongst other things, on the static head in the cold
condition. The expansion vessel on the boiler is pressurised at
0.5 bar and allows a maximum system volume of 110 litres for
°C. The minimum flow is 500 l/h. The flow rate
310
410
Diagram 2.1
an average temperature of 75°C and a maximum service
pressure of 3 bar. This pressure setting can be modified at
commissioning stage if the static head differs. An additional
expansion vessel can be fitted to the system if required, see
diagram 3.1. To check if an additional expansion vessel is
required, an accurate calculation of vessel size is given in the
current issue of BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1.
• Provision shall be made for a drain valve at the lowest point of
the system.
• Where thermostatic radiator valves are fitted, not all radiators
must be fitted with this type of valve, and in particular, where the
room thermostat is installed.
• In the case of an existing installation, it is ESSENTIAL that the
system is thoroughly flushed prior to installing the new boiler,
using a proprietary product such as Fernox or Sentinel. Contact
the product manufacturers for specific details.
3.1 Bypass
•The boiler is fitted with an adjustable automatic bypass. Ensure
that under no circumstances does the flow rate drop below the
figure specified.
• If the central heating circuit is fitted with thermostatic radiator
valves to all radiators then an additional bypass should be fitted
not less than 1.5 metres from the appliance, see diagram 3.1.
