Boiler Design
Boiler Design
This boiler is designed to provide central heating from a
sealed water system with a fully indirect cylinder, 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.
Condensate Drain
A plastic drain pipe must be tted to allow discharge of
condensate to a drain.
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 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 flue 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 8
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
The burner will activate if the boiler temperature does not
reach 10
drops to 5OC.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches
35
O
C after 30 minutes or at any time if the temperature

C or has already reached 35OC.
O
C.
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.

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.
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.
To ease future servicing it is advisable to use a compression
type tting to extend the safety discharge valve tube.
9.2 Condensate Trap and Siphonic Drain
Connection
The condensate drain connection is behind the pump at the
rear of the boiler, see diagram 9.2. 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 2.5
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 9.3.
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.

Boiler Connection
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.
Push the twin ue adaptor onto the outlet of the boiler with
the air inlet to the left hand side, see diagram 10.27. 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°)
10.25.
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
10.25).
The air terminal must not terminate less than 20mm from an
adjacent wall or structure and the ue outlet terminal less than
100mm from any adjacent wall or structure.
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 10.25.

(a) Pitched Roof
Fit the required pitched roof weather collar over the 150mm
hole in the roof. Make good the tiling or slating around the
collar incorporating the ashing of the weather collar. Position
the angle cap over the weather collar in the correct orientation
to attain the correct angle for your roof. One way round gives
a pitch of 25°-38° and the other gives 37°- 50°.
(b) Flat Roof
Fit the aluminium weather collar over the 150mm hole in the
roof ensuring a weather tight seal.
Horizontal Pipes-Completion of Installation
Having built the pipe(s) from the boiler to the terminal(s), the
length of the nal pipe piece can be determined. Cut pipes at
the opposite end to the ‘O’ ring seal making square and free
from burrs. Push the horizontal terminal through the wall to
engage the nal pipe piece and pull back ensuring the grey
wall seals are fully pulled up to the outside and inside wall
faces.
Vertical Pipes-Completion of Installation
Refer to diagram 10.25.
For installation of (a), attach the twin pipe to concentric
ue adaptor, part number A2011600, to the base of vertical
terminal assembly. For installation of (b), attach the single
pipe to concentric adaptor, part number A2011500, to the base
of vertical terminal assembly.
With the vertical terminal assembly positioned in the roof,
the length of the nal pipe can be determined. Cut the ue
to the desired length measuring from the ‘O’ ring seal end
and discard the plain end of the tube. The cut end should
be square and free from burrs. Carefully push the terminal
assembly upwards to allow room for tting the nal ue
piece(s). Fit a 100mm xing bracket to the terminal assembly
Part No 2000460486. Pull the terminal assembly down and
