The installation of the boiler must comply with the requirements of the current issue of BS6798, in Ireland, refer also to the current edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
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.
3.1 Frost Protection
If the position of the boiler is such that it may be vulnerable to freezing it should be protected as specified in the current issue of BS5422. It is recommended that a frost protection thermostat be fitted.
3.2 Pump
The pump, with integral valves, should be fitted in the heating flow pipework from the boiler, it should be set to produce a temperature difference of 11oC (20oF) between the flow and return, with the boiler thermostat set at “MAX”, which is about 82oC (180oF).
The pressure loss of the boiler can be found from diagram 3.1.
High resistance microbore systems may require a higher duty pump.
3.3 Bypass - Fully Pumped and Sealed Water System
A bypass is usually unnecessary on systems using a 3 port diverter valve since one port will remain in the open position at all times. This allows satisfactory operation of the pump overrun.
However if thermostatic radiator valves are fitted to all radiators or two port valves are used a bypass is required.
The bypass connection must be at least 2.5 metres away from the boiler.
The flow through the boiler must not be allowed to fall such that there is a temperature difference greater than 20 flow and return.

3.11 Expansion Vessel
A diaphragm type expansion vessel, conforming to the current issue of BS4814 (see also BS7404 Part 1 and 2) must be connected at a point close to the inlet side of the circulating pump, see diagram 3.4 unless laid down differently by the manufacturer.
The expansion vessel volume depends upon the total water system volume and the initial system design pressure. For any system an accurate calculation of vessel size is given in the current issue of BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1, for IE refer to the current edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
Example. For an initial system design pressure of 0.7bar the minimum total vessel volume required is 0.063xTotal System volume.
NOTE: A higher initial design pressure requires a larger volume expansion vessel.
The charge pressure must not be less than the static head of the system, that is, the height of the highest point of the system above the expansion vessel.
The water content of the boiler is given in Data Table 1.
3.12 Pressure Gauge
A pressure gauge with a set pointer and covering at least the range 0 to 4bar (0 to 60lb/in2) shall be permanently fitted to the system in a position where it can be seen when filling the system.

6.6 Testing - Open Vented
Allow the system to reach maximum working temperature and examine for water leaks.
There should be no undue noise in the system and no pumping over of water or entry of air at the open vent above the feed and expansion cistern.
All systems - The boiler should be turned off and the system drained off as rapidly as possible, whilst still hot.
6.7 Adjustment - Fully Pumped Open Vented and Sealed Water Systems
When commissioning the system the boiler should first be fired with the bypass fully closed on full service, that is, central heating and domestic hot water. Adjust the pump to the system design setting then balance the system. Having achieved a satisfactory condition operate the boiler with the bypass fully closed on minimum load, normally this will be central heating only with one radiator in the main living area operating. The bypass valve should be gradually opened to achieve a temperature difference no greater than 20oC between the flow and return.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS VALVE BE LEFT IN THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION.
6.8 Sealed Water Systems ONLY
Adjust the system to initial design pressure. The set pointer on the pressure gauge should be set to coincide with the indicating pointer.

9 Fault Finding
9.1 Electrical
IMPORTANT: On completion of the Service/Fault Finding task
which has required the breaking and remaking of the electrical connections the earth continuity, polarity, short circuit and resistance to earth checks must be repeated using a suitable multimeter.
Refer to neon indicators “An Aid to Fault Finding” diagram 9.1, Boiler Fault Finding diagram 9.2, Pump Overrun Fault Finding diagram 9.3, the Functional Flow diagram 9.4 , and the Pictorial Wiring diagram 9.5.
9.2 Electrical Supply Failure
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Operation will normally resume on restoration of the electrical supply. If the burner does not relight after an electrical supply failure the overheat device may need resetting.
Remove the control cover, see diagram 6.6 and push the rest button on the front of the control box, see diagram 6.1.
If the cutoff operates at any other time press the rest button and the burner should relight. If the fault persists refer to fault finding chart.
NOTE: The pump may run for several minutes when power is first applied, regardless of call for heat.
