Boiler Design
Boiler Design
This boiler is designed as a high efciency central heating
appliance, close coupled to an un-vented cylinder. The
pumps, expansion vessels and associated safety devices are
all tted within the appliance, providing a one box solution
for properties requiring a high domestic hot water demand.
The intelligent control system is designed for both simple
operation and maximum control. Once the controls are set the
boiler will operate automatically.
Additionally a thermostatically controlled immersion heater
with manual reset is tted to the cylinder as a back up for
domestic hot water in the event of the boiler being inoperable.
It is intended for use as a back up should the boiler fail, it will
not give optimum DHW performance.
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, refer to fault nding.
Overheating Safety
In the event of the boiler overheating the safety devices will
cause a safety shutdown. A “Reset” may be required if a fault
code (‘F’ followed by a number) appears on the digital display,
refer to ‘F’ codes, section 14 Fault Finding. A manual reset
button is also provided on the thermostat in the immersion
heater.
Safety Discharge Valves
Three safety discharge valves and discharge pipes are tted
to the boiler, two PRV’s and one pressure/temperature relief
valve. The valves must not be touched.
Should there be any discharge from the pipes, 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.
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.
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 6 for more details.
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
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 5
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches
35
Frost protection is also built into the cylinder.
Should the cylinder temperature fall below 10
re-heated to a temperature of 15
The cylinder has a built in disinfection cycle which raises the
water temperature to 70

Condensate Drain Blockage
As a safety feature theboiler 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 this
boiler, it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as

discharged from safety devices is safely conveyed to where it
is visible but will not cause danger to persons in or about the
building”.
G3 Guidance SECTION 3.9
The discharge pipe (D1)from the vessel up to and including
the tundish is generally supplied by the manufacturer of the
hot water storage system. Where otherwise, the installation
should include the discharge pipe(s) (D1) from the safety
device(s). In either case the tundish should be vertical,
located in the same space as the unvented hot water storage
system and be tted as close as possible and within 500mm
of the safety device e.g. the temperature relief valve.
NOTE: The tundishes are factory tted during manufacture.
The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should terminate in
a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of
the discharge, preferably be of metal and:
a) Be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet
size of the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic
resistance exceeds that of straight pipe 9m long i.e. discharge
pipes between 9m and 18m equivalent resistance length
should be at least two sizes larger than the nominal outlet
size of the safety device, between 18 and 27m at least 3
sizes larger and so on. Bends must be taken into account in
calculating the ow resistance.
An alternative approach for sizing discharger pipes would be
to follow BS67100:1987 specication for design installation,
testing and maintenance of services supplying water for
domestic use within buildings and their curtilages. Appendix E
section E2 and table 21.
b) Have a vertical section of at least 300mm long, below the
tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipework.
c) Be installed with a continuous fall.
d) Have discharges visible at both the tundish and the
nal point of discharge but where this is not possible or is
practically difcult there should be clear visibility at one or
other of these locations. Examples of acceptable discharge
arrangements are:
i) Ideally below a xed grating and above the water seal in a
trapped gully.
ii) Downward discharges at low level; i.e. up to 100mm above
external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed
areas etc. are acceptable providing that where children may
play or otherwise come into contact with discharges a wire
cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact whilst
maintaining visibility.
iiI) Discharges at high level; e.g. into a metal hopper and
metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly
visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of
withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m
from any plastic guttering system that would collect such
discharges (tundish visible).
iv) Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges,
such as in blocks of ats, the number served should be
limited to not more than 6 systems so that any installation
discharging can be traced reasonably easily. The single
common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size
larger than the largest individual discharge pipe (D2) to
be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are
installed where discharges from safety devices may not be
apparent i.e. in dwellings occupied by blind, inrm or disabled
people, consideration should be given to the installation of an
electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes
place.

5 Domestic Hot Water
NOTE: The discharge will consist of scalding water and
steam. Asphalt, roong felt and non-metallic rain water goods
may be damaged by such discharges.
Worked example of discharge pipe sizing
The example given in diagram 5.2 is for a G1/2 temperature
relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. 22mm
elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of
discharge.
From Table 1:
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm
copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief
valve is 9.0m.
Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each
= 3.2m.
Therefore the permitted length equates to 5.8m.
5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m therefore calculate
the next largest size. Maximum resistance allowed for a
straight length of 28mm pipe (D2 from a G1/2 temperature
relief valves equates to 18m. Subtract the resistance of 4
No. 28mm elbows at 1.0m each: 4.0m.
Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 14m.
As the actual length is 7m a 28mm min (D2) copper pipe will
be satisfactory.

WARNING:
• Under no circumstances should the factory tted
temperature/pressure relief valve be removed other than
by authorised personnel. To do so will invalidate any
warranty claim.
• Table 1. Sizing of copper discharge pipe (D2).
• Control and safety valves MUST NOT be tampered with.
• The discharge pipe MUST NOT be blocked or used for
any other purpose.
• The tundish is factory tted and MUST NOT be
removed.
6 Condensate Drain
6.1 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
diagram 6.1 for more details.
Diagram 5.2
6.2 Condensate Connection
A exible condensate connection pipe is supplied and should
be used to connect to a drain outlet pipe 22mm to 25mm OD.
non corrosive plastic . The drain outlet pipe should have a fall
of at least 2.50 away from the boiler.
It is recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is
insulated 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 trap inside the boiler.
Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon to work
incorrectly.

7 Installation Preparation
7.1 Loose Items Pack
Please check the contents of loose items pack as shown in
diagram 7.1.
The plumbing jig is located within the tank module polystyrene
top pack.
7.2 Site Requirements
The appliance should be sited on a level oor, however slight
adjustment can be made using the adjustable feet at the base
of the tank module.
The oor strength should be suitable for the combined weight
of appliance and water:
100sxi 175kg
170sxi 225kg
NOTE: Due to the varied site conditions we do not supply
xings and advise that the installer should supply those which
are suitable.
7.3 Floor Template
Take the oor template from the loose items packand place
in the desired position on the oor, giving due consideration to
the required boiler clearances, see diagram 2.1, and the ue
you are tting.
Mark the position of the ue centre, if tting a side ue, extend
the ue centerline into the corner then along the adjacent wall,
see diagram 7.2.
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 on 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.
7.4 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.

The condense drain and safety discharges connections are
not on the jig but their pipe runs are shown on the template.
Assemble the copper tails and washers to the jig, secure,
then plumb the system as shown in diagram 8.1. taking into
account the need to plumb the condense and safety valves
also.
NOTE: Do not subject isolation valves to heat.
Slacken the test point screw, see diagram 8.1, connect a
manometer.
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”.
Remove the manometer and secure the test point screw.
On completion of system connections and as an aid to
installation, slacken the jig securing screws, this will allow
a greater tolerance of site conditions when connecting the
isolation valves to the boiler.

until the system is full and all the air has been removed.
4. IMPORTANT: To comply with the water regulations the
exible hose must be disconnected from the double check
inlet valve - undo the nut and pull the exible hose from
the valve.
12.6 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.
Operational Gas Inlet Pressure
With ALL other gas appliances operating, check the operational
supply pressure at the gas service isolation valve test point, see
diagram 12.1.
The nominal supply pressure for Natural Gas (G20) is 20mbar.
The nominal supply pressure for LPG (G31) is 37mbar.
Turn the taps and appliances off, then disconnect the pressure
gauge.
If you require to measure the gas inlet pressure at the
NOTE:
gas valve there will be a pressure drop over the gas service
isolation valve, this is normal and the inlet pressure can be up
to 2mbar less.
Additionally the safe nominal maximum heat input of the
appliance can be achieved at an inlet pressure down to 15mbar.
The BURNER PRESSURE cannot be measured.
NOTE:
Gas Rate
Make sure that ALL other gas burning appliances and pilot
lights are off.
Check the gas rate using the gas meter test dial and stop
watch, at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, see table
opposite for approximate rates.
In communal or LPG installations where the gas rate cannot be
measured it is acceptable to measure the combustion rate as
described in the servicing section.
On completion, press the “mode” and “+” buttons
simultaneously, this will reset the boiler.
12.7 Range Rating
The boilers are fully modulating for central heating, and it is
therefore not necessary to range rate the boiler. However, if
desired, it is possible to range rate the boiler between 9 and
24kW in 1kW increments, refer to diagram 12.4, then:
a) Press and hold the ‘MODE’ button for 5 seconds.
The display will change to ashing ‘0’.
b) Use the ‘+’ or ‘-’ button to scroll to 96.
c) Press ‘MODE’ to conrm.
d) The display now shows a ashing ‘d. 0’. The part
load setting is displayed above in kW
e) Press ‘MODE’ to change, use the ‘+’ or ‘-’ button
to change this value to the desired setting.
h) Press ‘MODE’ to conrm, the new setting has been
saved.
i) Press and hold ‘MODE’ to exit.
NOTE: For approximate gas rates at part load, refer to table
opposite.
12.8 Water Systems
Check that all external controls are calling for heat, the boiler
will re automatically. Fully open all radiator valves and the
ow control valve, if tted, see diagram 4.1.
Balance the radiators as required and if tted adjust the valve
to give the required system differential. Turn off all radiators
that can be shut off by the user and check to see if less than
the maximum differential allowed of 20
across ow and return.
The pump has two speeds and can be adjusted depending on
the requirements of the central heating system, see diagram
4.2.
The boiler has an inbuilt automatic adjustable bypass valve.
The pressure can be adjusted between approx 1.5 and
3.5mH
2O but is factory pre-set to approx 2.5mH2O. The
pressure changes by approx 0.1mH2O for each full turn
of the bypass screw, see diagram 12.5. Turning clockwise
increases the pressure and turning anti-clockwise decreases
the pressure.
Allow the system to reach maximum temperature then switch
off the boiler by isolating from the electrical supply.
Lock or remove the handle from the control valve, if tted.
Adjust the boiler temperature controls and any system

Ensure that the magnetic lighting instruction label is placed on
the surface of the boiler casing
GB: It is a requirement that the “Benchmark” Installation,
Commissioning and Service Record is completed and left with
the user.
IE: it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to
indicate compliance to I.S.813. An example of this is given in
the current edition of I.S.813.
12.10 Instruct the User
● Demonstrate, then instruct the User about the lighting
procedure and heating system controls operation.
● Advise that to ensure the continued efcient and safe
operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked
and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing
will depend upon the installation conditions and usage, but in
general, once a year should be enough.
● Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which
imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property
containing a gas appliance in the UK.
● The user shall not interfere with or adjust sealed
components.
● It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a competent
person approved at the time by the Health and Safety
Executive.
● Advise the user that, 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.
● Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent
damage to the system, boiler and the building, in the event of
the heating system being out of use during frost or freezing
conditions.
● Advise the user that the permanent mains electrical supply
SHOULD NOT be switched off, as the built in frost protection
and pump saver program will not operate.
● Advise the User if the mains electricity and gas are to be
turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is
recommended that the whole system, including the boiler,
should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.
Note: Sealed System: Contact your installation/servicing
company as draining, relling and pressurising MUST be
carried out by a competent person approved at the time by the
Health and Safety Executive.
● Leave these instructions and the ‘Benchmark’ Installation,
Commissioning and Service Record with the user.
