system, including the radiators, then thoroughly cleaning out
before fitting the boiler, whether or not adding an inhibitor.

2.3 Gravity Domestic Hot Water and Pumped
Central Heating

It is recommended that a cylinder thermostat is used to prevent
the stored water temperature becoming too high when the
heating pump is off.

The domestic hot water primary flow and return must be 28mm
od. The installation must comply with the current issue of
BS5546 and BS6700, see diagram 2.1.

If the above conditions cannot be met, it is suggested that a fully
pumped system is used.

2.4 Pumped Central Heating and Domestic Hot
Water

Where a single flow and return is taken from the boiler, a
minimum static head of 1metre (39in) must be provided between
the water level in the cold water cistern and the centre of the
waterway, see diagram 2.2.

2.5 Circulation Pump

Normally the pump should be set to give a temperature difference
of 11

oC

(20oF), across the boiler. At the appropriate flow rate the
resistance through the boiler can be found by reference to the
pressure loss graph, diagram 2.3.

Use a pump with integral valves or fit valves as close to the
pump as possible.

2.6 Domestic Hot Water Cylinder

For all systems supplying domestic hot water the cylinder must
be indirect.

2.7 Safety Valve

A safety valve need not be fitted to an open vented system.

2.8 Draining Tap

221809B

Important Note

The boiler is fitted with a Flue Blockage Safety Device, which
will shut down the boiler if there is an unacceptable spillage of
products at the draught diverter.

This safety device MUST NOT under any circumstances be
interferred with or put out of action. The safety device must only
be replaced with the Glow-worm parts.

3.1 Flue

The integral draught diverter on the Hideaway range of boilers
makes the combustion performance independent of conditions
in the secondary flue, but in common with other fuels an efficient
flue is necessary to make sure of a trouble free installation.

The flue must be at least equivalent to 1m vertical.
The boiler flue socket is designed to take flue pipes to the

current issue of BS567. If a flue pipe to BS715 is to be used, an
adapter must be fitted to the boiler flue socket, as diagram 1.1.

The flue must be in accordance with the current issue of
BS5440 Part 1.

3.2 Flue Guidelines

The flue should be kept as short as possible. Horizontal or very
shallow runs of the flue should be avoided as they encourage
local cooling.

Always choose a flue route which will cause the least cooling of
the flue.

There should be a vertical rise of at least 600mm (2ft) before
using a bend. 90

o

elbows should not be used.

End with a certificated flue terminal, preferably above ridge
height, but at least above the eaves of a pitched roof.

An existing chimney must be thoroughly swept and all debris
cleared away before lining.

3.3 Timber Frame Buildings

If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it should
be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers
document IGE/UP/7/1998. If in doubt seek advice from the local
gas undertaking or Hepworth Heating Ltd.

3.4 Ventilation for Boiler Installed in a Room
or Space

If the boiler is to be installed in a room or space a purpose
designed permanent ventilation opening, to supply air for
combustion, must be provided on an outside wall to external air,
refer to the current issue of BS5440 Part 2 for details.

The opening may be directly into the room or the space
containing the boiler, or an outside wall of an adjacent room or
space which has an internal permanent air vent, of the same
size, into the room or space containing the boiler.

Do not ventilate through a bedroom, bedsitting room, private
garage or a room containing a bath or shower.

When the boiler is installed in a room or internal space already
containing other fuel burning appliances then the air supply of
such appliances must be taken into account.

The ventilation opening areas are given in “Air Vent Table A”.
The figures quoted refer to the minimum acceptable effective
area.

3 Flue and Ventilation

3.5 Ventilation for Boilers Installed in a
Cupboard or Compartment

When the boiler is fitted in a cupboard or compartment, high and
low level purpose designed, permanent openings must be
provided to supply air for combustion and compartment
ventilation.

The air vents must have minimum areas in accordance with
“Compartment Air Vent B”. The figures quoted refer to the
minimum acceptable effective area.

Both the high and low level openings must communicate with
the same room, or must both be on the same wall to outside air.

If air vent grilles are fitted to a cavity wall, the opening through
the wall must be ducted.

Where ventilation air to a compartment is taken from a room or
space, then the room or space must be fitted with a ventilation
opening as specified in “Air Vent Table A”.

For information regarding compartment requirements refer to
the appropriate section of the current issue of BS6798.

3.6 Extract Fans

If an extract fan is fitted in the premises, there is a possibility that
if adequate inlet openings are not provided, spillage of the
products from the boiler could occur.

When openings are fitted in accordance with the current issue
of BS5440 Part 2 and this section, extract fans should not cause
down draught, but where such fan installations are found, a
spillage test must be carried out in accordance with the current
issue of BS5440 Part 1 and any corrective work done.
