Boiler Design
Boiler Design
This boiler is 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 integral programmer is designed
for both simple operation and maximum control. Once the
controls are set the boiler will operate automatically.
Range Rating
These boilers are fully modulating, it is therefore not
necessary to range rate them.
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 touched. 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 9 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 efciency 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 8OC.
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 10OC or has already reached 35OC.
The burner will activate if the boiler temperature does not
reach 10OC after 30 minutes or at any time if the temperature
drops to 5OC.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches
35OC.
Condensate Drain Blockage
As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the
condensate drain becomes blocked. During freezing
conditions this may be due to the forming of ice in the
condense drain external to the house. Release an ice
blockage by the use of warm cloths on the pipe, the boiler
should then restart.
Servicing, Maintenance and Spare Parts
Servicing and Maintenance
To ensure the continued efcient 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 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 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.

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

5.8 Water Treatment
Existing system- It is ESSENTIAL that prior to installing the
new boiler the system is thoroughly ushed.
New system- For optimum performance after installation, the
boiler and its associated central heating system should also
be ushed.
Flushing should be carried out in accordance with BS7593:
2006 using a cleanser such as Sentinel X300 or X400, Fernox
Restorer or Salamander corrosion guard cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all cleanser is removed from the whole
system before adding an inhibitor.
For long-term corrosion protection, after ushing, an inhibitor
suitable for stainless steel exchangers should be used, refer
to the current issue of BS 5449 and BS 7593 on the use of
inhibitors in central heating systems. Examples are Sentinel
X100 Fernox Protector or Salamander corrosion guard

5 Water System - Domestic Hot Water
5.9 Water Pressure
The minimum working pressure to obtain the maximum
domestic ow is:24cxi 1.0bar
30cxi 1.0bar
38cxi 2.5bar
The maximum working pressure of the domestic hot water
circuit is 10 bar. If the cold water supply pressure exceeds
this, then a pressure-reducing valve must be tted in the
supply to the boiler.
5.10 ‘Hard’ Water Areas
The temperatures within the heat exchanger are limited by
the boiler control system to minimise scale formation within
the hot water pipework. However, in areas where the water is
‘hard’ (i.e. more than 200mg/litre), it is recommended that the
hot water setting is reduced and that a scale reducer is tted,
refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the local
water company for additional advice.
5.11 Domestic Water Flow Rate
The domestic hot water ow has a restrictor, factory tted,
which reduces the ow to a maximum of, 8.0 l/min for 24cxi,
12.0 l/min for 30cxi and 15.5 l/min for 38cxi.

6 Installation Preparation
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 176mm 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.
13853
Diagram 6.2
6.4 Flue Hole Cutting
External access ue installation can use a 105mm diameter
core drill.
Internal access only ue installation will need a 125mm
diameter core drill.
NOTE: The ue is designed with an internal fall of 44mm/
metre (2.5°), therefore the hole can be drilled horizontally.
If ue extension pipes are to be used then a core drill size of
125mm is required. This will allow the extension pieces to
slope at 44mm/metre (2.5°) towards the boiler.

Assemble and secure the pre formed copper tails to their
respective isolation valves making sure of their correct
orientation, see diagram 8.1.
Fit the isolation valves/copper tails with seals to the appliance
as shown in diagram 8.1
Make sure that all connections are secured in the sequence
shown on diagram 8.1. There are ats on the body of the
valves for locating a spanner to aid tightening.
Fit the ‘O’ ring seal from the loose items pack to the Double
Check Inlet Valve assembly then secure into isolation valve
with wire retaining clip, see diagram 8.1.
Diagram 7.2
Fit the Central Heating Isolation Valve handles and secure
with screws provided.
Plumb the system pipe work to the copper tails.
NOTE: Do not subject the isolation valves to heat and make
sure that the test and drain points are accessible, see diagram
8.1.
Flush out the domestic hot water and the heating systems,
refer to section 5.8.
The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should
be inspected, tested for tightness and purged in accordance
with the current issue of BS6891 and in IE the current edition
of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

9 Safety Discharge Valve & 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 (overow pipe), see
diagram 9.2.
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 2.5O 44mm/metre
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 9.3.
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.

10 Telescopic Flue - Length, Preparation and Installation
10.1 Flue Length
The maximum permissible horizontal ue length is 10 metres
plus the ue terminal assembly, this can be achieved by use
of the accessories, see diagram 10.3.
However should an additional 87.5o or 2 x 45o elbows be
used then the length MUST be reduced by 1metre.
The diagram 10.1 shows the length achievable by using the
kit A2043600.
When extension pipes are used the ue system must be
designed to have a continuous fall to the boiler of at least 2.5o
44mm/metre to allow condensate to run back into the boiler
and out via the condensate drain.
The ue can be installed from inside the building, when
access to the outside wall face is not practicable.

Multiple Boiler Chimney Flue Length
The ue length must be calculated and installed according to
the relevant standards EN 13384-1 and 2 (C43 ue systems
only) with reference to the table below and the manufacturers
instructions supplied.
The appliance maximum ue length must be included when
calculating the overall design of the ue system.
NOTE: The horizontal ue terminal must be removed, see
diagram 10.2.
