IE: The current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

Heating System

In GB, it is necessary to comply with the Water Supply (Water

Fittings) Regulations 1999 (for Scotland, the Water Byelaws 2000, Scotland). To comply with the Water regulations your attention is drawn to: The Water Regulations guide published by the Water Regulations Advisory Service (WRAS) gives full details of the requirements. In IE, the requirements given in the current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations” and the current Building Regulations must be followed.

Boiler Design

These boilers are designed for use as part of a sealed water central heating system with fully pumped circulation. The pump, expansion vessel and associated safety devices are all tted within the boiler. The daily pump exercise programme combined with the built-in frost protection will help to maintain and protect the boiler. Once the controls are set the boiler

operates automatically.

Range Rating

The boilers are fully modulating, it is therefore not necessary to range rate them. However, if desired, it is possible to range rate the boiler between 10 and Max. output (according to the model), in 1kW increments, refer to section 12.

Safety Devices

Electrical Supply Failure

The boiler will not work without an electrical supply. Normal operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical supply is restored. Reset any external controls, to resume normal operation of the central heating. If the boiler does not resume normal operation press the reset button. If the boiler does not resume normal operation after this call your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service.

Overheating Safety

The boiler software is designed to recognise the potential for an overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens. To restart the boiler, press the reset button on the controls fascia. If the boiler fails to resume normal operation and all external controls are calling for heat, then call your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service.

Safety Discharge Valve

A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe are tted to the boiler. This valve must not be interfered with, should there be any discharge from the pipe, isolate the boiler electrical supply and call your installer or Glow-worm’s own service organisation using the telephone number on the inside front cover of this booklet.

Condensate Drain

A plastic drain pipe must be tted to allow discharge of condensate to a drain. Condensate should, if possible, be discharged into the internal household draining system. If this is not practical, discharge can be made externally into the household drainage system or a purpose designed soak away, see section 8 for more details.

Pluming from ue terminal

Like all condensing boilers this appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the ue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efciency and hence low ue gas temperature of the boiler. This is normal and not an indication of a fault.

Frost protection

The appliance has a built in frost protection device that protects the boiler from freezing. With the gas and electric supplies ON and irrespective of any room thermostat setting, the frost protection device will operate the pump when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 8°C. A timer is used so that the temperature can be checked periodically. After 10 minutes the pump will be stopped if the temperature is higher than 10°C or has already reached 35°C. The burner will activate if the boiler temperature does not reach 10°C after 30 minutes or at any time if the temperature drops to 5°C. The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches 35°C.

Condensate Drain Blockage

As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the condensate drain becomes blocked. During freezing conditions an ice blockage in the condense drain, external to the house would also activate the safety feature. Use warm cloths on the pipe to release an ice blockage. Once the blockage is removed the boiler should then restart.

Servicing, Maintenance and Spare Parts

Servicing and Maintenance

To ensure the continued efcient and safe operation of the boiler 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. If this applaince 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 approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive in accordance with the rules in force in the countries of destination. To obtain service, please call your installer or Glow-worm’s own service organisation using the telephone number on the inside front cover of this literature.

Spare Parts

We only use parts that you can be assured conform to the safety and performance specication. DO NOT use reconditioned or copy parts that have not been clearly authorised by Glow-worm.

4.1 Flue Options

There are various ue options to choose from as illustrated in diagram 4.1. The ue lengths and installation are described in section 10.

4.2 Flue Terminal Position

In GB the minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the

terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram 4.2. In IE the minimum distances for ue terminal positioning must be those detailed in I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”. The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing free passage of air across it at all times. Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from the ue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when selecting the position for the terminal. Carports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to protect the roof if made of plastic sheeting. If the carport comprises of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the local gas supply company before installing the boiler. H* and J* See diagram 4.2. These dimensions comply with the building regulations, but they may need to be increased to avoid wall staining and nuisance from pluming depending on site conditions. NOTE: If the ue terminal is positioned near a light source insects may enter the ue system. Where safe and practical to do so, advise the homeowner to check the ue outlet and clear visible insects from the terminal end.

4.3 Terminal Guard

A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage. If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal. The guard should be similar to that shown in diagram 4.3. A suitable guard is manufactured by: Tower Flue Components Morley Rd. Tonbridge Kent TN9 1RA. Size: 280mm x 165mm. Part No. CGDK3

6.1 Appliance Pack

Please check the contents of packs as shown in diagram 6.1.

The packs are located in the top polystyrene packing.

Remove the carton sleeve and top pack then lift the boiler and its polystyrene base support out of the lower pack.

6.2 Site Requirements

The boiler mounting wall should be suitable for the weight of the appliance and be true and at.

NOTE: Due to the varied site conditions we do not supply xings and advise that the installer should supply those which are suitable.

6.3 Wall Template

Take the wall template from the document pack located within the top polystyrene packing and place in the desired position

on the wall, giving due consideration to the required boiler clearances, see section 3, and the ue you are tting. Mark the position of the ue centre, if tting a side ue, extend the ue centre line into the corner then 149mm along the adjacent wall, see diagram 6.2. For extended side ues, the ue hole centre should be determined by extending the dashed inclined line on the template to the side wall. This dashed line is drawn at 44mm/ metre (2.5°) rise from the boiler. Where this line reaches the side wall, a horizontal line should be marked. The vertical centre line of the ue should then be marked at 176mm from the back wall. To allow for the ue passing through the wall at this angle a 125mm hole should be drilled irrespective of internal or external installation. Remove the wall template whilst drilling the ue hole.

8.1 Boiler Hanging

IMPORTANT: With regards to the Manual Handling

Operations, 1992 Regulations, the following lift operation exceeds the recommended weight for a one man lift, refer to section 17 Manual Handling. IMPORTANT: Direct Rear Flue only - The direct rear ue must be tted before hanging the boiler, refer to sections 10.11 to 10.13, and the rear outlet cover plate should be removed. The appliance and jig (pre-lled) may contain a small amount of water, place a water container beneath the boiler connections. Make sure the isolation valves are closed before disconnecting the blanking plugs and discarding the jig plate. Position the sealing washers supplied in the Loose Items pack, as shown in diagram 6.1. Lifting the boiler into position, lean the top of the boiler slightly to the wall and position just above the hanging bracket. Lower the boiler slowly, push back and engage onto the hanging bracket making sure the boiler is located over the retaining bosses, secure with screw provided, see diagram 8.1. Remove the protective caps. Engage the xing jig connections, ensuring that the previously positioned washers have not been disturbed. There are ats on the body of the valves for locating a spanner to aid tightening to copper tails using the tightening sequence shown in diagram 8.2. Make good the nal connections.

9 Safety Discharge Valve and Condensate Connections

9.1 Safety Discharge Valve

Take the safety discharge pipe, supplied in the pipe pack and the union nut and seal, supplied in the loose items pack and t as shown in diagram 9.1. This must be extended, using not less than 15mm o.d. pipe, to discharge, in a visible position, outside the building, facing downwards, preferably over a drain. To ease future servicing it is advisable to use a compression type tting to extend the safety discharge valve tube. The pipe must have a continuous fall and be routed to a position so that any discharge of water, possibly boiling, or steam cannot create any danger to persons, damage to property or external electrical components and wiring.

9.2 Condensate Trap and Siphonic Drain Connection

A exible condensate outlet pipe is tted and should be used to couple the condensate trap and siphonic drain to a 22mm to 25mm O.D. non corrosive plastic pipe (overow pipe), see diagram 8.2. IMPORTANT: Please remove the bung from the exible pipe before tting to a drain outlet pipe.

NOTE: the pipe should have a fall of a least 2.5 away from the boiler. Condensate should, if possible be discharged into the household internal drainage system. If this is not practicable, discharge can be allowed into the external household drains or a purpose designed soak away, refer to diagram 9.2. It is recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is protected and also preferably of 32mm diameter, to prevent freezing in adverse weather conditions. The condensate is discharged periodically in ‘slugs’ by siphonic action. It is not necessary to provide air breaks or extra traps in the discharge pipe as there is already a 75mm high trap inside the boiler. Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon to work incorrectly. Refer to BS5546 or BS6798 for advice on disposal of boiler condensate.

IMPORTANT:The ue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based lubricants. Do not grease the seals. If the seals do need to be lubricated use only water.

During the installation of the ue system, ensure that debris such as mortar, lings or swarf are cleared from the ue system before completion. Inspect the ue pipes before tting and do not install damaged or dented ue components. When assembling the ue system, ensure that the inner seals are not damaged, do not install a ue component with a damaged seal. When tting ue elbows ensure that they are tted at the correct angle to avoid strain, this will ensure that the seal ts correctly preventing leakage.

With the air duct seams aligned and the ue set to the required length ‘Y’, mark the securing hole position in the air duct. Drill a 3mm diameter hole at this position, take care not to pierce the inner ue duct. Secure with screw provided and tape the joint, see diagram 10.8.

Fit the sealing collar onto the locating ring on the ue terminal, see diagram 10.9.

With the ue elbow removed, push the ue assembly into the wall, externally or internally, until the end of the assembly protrudes a short way from the inside face of the wall. This will enable the internal trim ring (if required) to be positioned and allow the ue assembly to be drawn back up to the ue elbow.

Secure the ue elbow in position on top of the boiler with the four screws supplied.

Draw the ue assembly from wall and engage the ue duct into the elbow and butt t between the air duct and ue elbow. Fit the securing collar in position. Ensuring correct alignment of the ue, mark through two of the pre drilled holes in the securing collar. Remove securing collar and drill two 3mm diameter holes one in the elbow and one in the air duct, take care not to pierce the inner ue duct. Fit the securing collar and secure with screws provided, see diagram 10.10. Slide the internal trim ring back against the wall, securing in place with a small amount of sealant if required.

Insert the ue duct into the air duct terminal assembly, remembering to engage the catch within the terminal. Check that the outer rubber sealing collar makes an effective seal against the wall face.

IMPORTANT:-

The ue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based lubricants. Do not grease the seals. If the seals do need to be lubricated use only water. During the installation of the ue system, ensure that debris such as mortar, lings or swarf are cleared from the ue system before completion. Long lengths of ues must be secured to the walls or ceilings they run against. Use at least one xing bracket for every ue extension that is used. After cutting inner ue tubes ensure that you de-burr and chamfer the male tube end to prevent damage. Inspect the ue pipes before tting and do not install damaged or dented ue components. When assembling the ue system, ensure that the inner seals are not damaged, do not install a ue component with a damaged seal. When tting ue elbows ensure that they are tted at the correct angle to avoid strain, this will ensure that the seal ts correctly preventing leakage. Remove the ue elbow. Separate the ue duct from the terminal by twisting to release the terminal catch, then pull out of the retaining seal, refer to diagram 10.17. The ue duct cutting length (L + 11mm.) is shown in diagram 10.17. The air duct should be cut at the opposite end to the terminal The plastic ue duct MUST be cut at the opposite end to the terminal catch. The plastic ue duct extensions MUST be cut at the opposite end to seal. Insert the ue duct into the air duct terminal assembly, remembering to engage the catch within the terminal. Fit the sealing collar behind the locating lugs on the ue terminal, see diagram 10.18. Push the ue assembly into the wall, externally or internally, initially until the end of the assembly protrudes a short way from the inside face of the wall. This will enable the internal trim ring (if required) to be positioned and allow the ue assembly to be drawn back into the ue elbow. Secure the ue elbow in position on top of the boiler with four torque headed screws supplied. Draw the ue assembly from wall and engage the ue duct into the elbow and butt t between the air duct and ue elbow. Fit the securing collar into position. Ensuring the correct alignment of the terminal, mark through two of the pre drilled holes in the securing collar. Remove securing collar and drill two 3mm diameter holes one in the elbow and one in the air duct, take care not to pierce the inner ue duct. Fit the securing collar and secure with screws provided, see diagram 10.18. Slide the internal trim ring back against the wall, securing in place with a small amount of sealant if required. NOTE: If the air and ue ducts have been correctly cut to the instructions the sealing collar should t ush with the outside wall.

IMPORTANT: The ue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based

lubricants. Do not grease the seals. If the seals do need to be lubricated use only water.

Remove the top ue outlet cover secured with four screws, see diagram 10.4. Place the twin ue adaptor onto the outlet of the boiler with the air inlet to the left hand side, see diagram 10.31. Secure the adaptor to the top panel with the screws provided. Care should be taken when inserting the screw through the hole in adaptor top.

Air and Flue Pipe Installation

The air and ue pipes can now be built up from the boiler. The ue must be designed with a continuous fall towards the boiler. If using the horizontal ue pipe or 90° bends the pipe must be inclined at 44mm/metre (2.5°) minimum, see diagram

10.29. Alternatively if space allows, use 45° bends in place of 90º bends. To avoid rain ingress to the air Inlet terminal, it is good practice to aim the inlet downwards by approx 2° as rain can damage the boiler. The Flue outlet pipe must always run at 44mm/metre (2.5°) back to the boiler.

IMPORTANT:Long lengths of ues must be secured to the wall or ceiling it runs against. Use at least one xing bracket on each ue joint used or on straight ue runs every joint and for every metre ue run. Provision must be made in concealed boxing or ductwork that the ue joints can be inspected during annual servicing. The ue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based lubricants. Do

not grease the seals. If the seals do need to be lubricated use only water.

Do not use the ue pipe to attach other pipes or equipment. If visible, advise the householder not to hang or clip items to ue pipes. Do not stress the ue connections during the installation, this can damage the ue seals.

Horizontal Terminal Installation

NOTE: The air inlet terminal and the ue outlet terminals

must never be installed on the opposite sides of a property. Termination must only be on the same wall or adjacent walls. When installed close together separated vertically, the air inlet must be tted below the ue outlet terminal (see diagram

10.29). With due consideration to terminal clearances mentioned in section 4.2 drill the one or two holes as required with a 90mm core drill. Push the horizontal terminal through the wall allowing approx 100mm to protrude outside. Push a grey rubber wall seal onto either side of the wall ensuring that both wall seals are pushed up to the wall surface, see examples (b) and (c) diagram 10.29.

Vertical Terminal Installation

With due consideration to terminal clearances mentioned in Section 4.2, project the rise of the ue pipe to roof level and cut 150mm hole in the roof.

NOTE: After ignition the boiler will ramp slowly to full rate rather than going immediately to full rate. This is an adaptive feature to cope with small system requirements. After a period of 10 minutes, check that the supply inlet pressure of the boiler is still 20mbar, disconnect the pressure gauge. NOTE: The burner pressure cannot be measured at the gas valve as it is altered by the suction of the fan and modulated according to demand.

12.5 Check the Gas Inlet Pressure and Gas Rate

The supply from the governed meter must be of adequate size to provide a steady inlet working pressure of 20mbar (8in wg) at the boiler. On completion, test the gas installation for tightness using the pressure drop method and suitable leak detection uid, purge as necessary. NOTE: Due to the modulating operation of the boiler and the need to check the gas inlet pressure and measure the gas rate at maximum rate, it will be necessary to force it to maximum. Press the “reset” button on the controls fascia, release and immediately press and hold in the “+” button. After approximately 5 seconds “Hi” will be displayed. Pressing the mode button when “Hi” is selected will force the boiler to maximum rate, the display will ash between “Hi” and the “default display” this will indicate the boiler has been forced to maximum.
