PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION No.87AO20
1.1 A competent person holding ‘CORGI’ registration
or equivalent must install this boiler. All installations
MUST conform to the relevant Gas Safety and
Building Regulations. Health & Safety requirements
must also be taken into account when installing any
equipment. Failure to comply with the above may lead
to Prosecution.
1.2 These instructions are for Group H Natural Gas
(2nd Family) and LPG-Propane (3rd Family). The
information relative to propane firing is to be found in
Appendix ‘A’. Boilers MUST NOT use gas other than
that for which they were designed and made for.
1.3 The Purewell is an Atmospheric, Gas Fired boiler
manufactured from horizontal cast iron sections,
nippled at alternate ends. These sections are
mounted on a fabricated mild steel basket assembly,
which houses the burner bar and igniter assemblies.
A unique radiant baffle is fitted beneath the burner
bars, protecting the floor below by reducing heat lost
from the boiler.
The ‘Classic’ version of the Purewell boiler is
designed to be connected to the flue via a specifically
designed draught diverter. The draught diverter
MUST be fitted into the spigot on top of the heat
exchanger as supplied. NO modification or variance is
permitted as this may change operational
characteristics.
An optional On/Off Primary Flue Damper kit is
available for ‘Classic’ models only. This damper
MUST be fitted into the spigot on top of the heat
exchanger as supplied. NO modification or variance is
permitted as this may change operational
characteristics. Flue outlets from more than one boiler
may be connected together to form a header.
Technical Department for help or assistance if in
doubt.
1.6 The Purewell boiler is not suitable for direct
connection to domestic hot water supplies or gravity
fed heating systems.
1.7 The Purewell boiler can be installed with either
reverse return water flow layout or with single pipe
header layout. See Figure No. 8 for typical schematic
layout.
Hamworthy Heating can supply a pre-designed
arrangement of components, which will produce a
"reverse-return" assembly. Please contact
Hamworthy Heating for information.
1.8 It is good practice in all heating installations to use
some form of water treatment to reduce formation of
lime scale and black iron oxide sludge. The high
efficiencies produced by the Purewell Boiler can easily
be reduced by lime scale formation. If a Pressurised
unit is used, it is prudent to include an hours run meter
to give an indication of pump running time and hence
raw water make up. Any leaks should be attended to
as soon as possible to avoid calcium salt build up
within the boiler's waterways.
2.0 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Overall dimensions are shown in Figure No. 9.
Both single and multi boiler arrangements are shown.
The Purewell boiler can be installed as a single unit or
in modular form where a 'multi' casing reduces
required floor area. Each boiler has an independent
door for access to the controls and other working
components.
‘Integra’ versions have an in-built draught diverter and
can therefore be connected direct to a header
assembly via a suitable flue pipe.
1.4 The Purewell boiler is available with an optional
Flame Failure kit, allowing a signal to be generated
should the pilot drop out. NOTE! There is no facility to
electrically interface any input/output with the boiler
controls. Refer to Section 9.0 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
for details.
1.5 If the boiler is to be connected to an un-vented
(pressurised) heating system, care must be taken to
ensure all extra safety requirements are met and that
the relevant interlocks will shut down the boiler(s)
should a high or low pressure fault occur.
The Pressurisation unit must also incorporate a low
level water switch, which protects the water pumps,
and will directly or indirectly shut down the boiler plant
should a low water condition occur.
Consideration should also be given to the maximum
working pressure of the boiler as given in Section2:TECHNICAL DATA. Consult Hamworthy Heating
It is recommended that a maximum of 6 boilers can be
positioned on 533mm (21") centres if required. Larger
numbers should be split into two or more banks with
150mm (6") between each bank. NOTE! When
installing modular units on 533mm (21") centres, the
casing support rail or spacing plates should be fitted
between each boiler before bolting together. See
Section 10.1:General Installation of Boilers Ref.: spacing plates for further information.
2.2 General Information and Technical Data relating to
Natural Gas is shown in Figure No. 1. Technical data
relating to propane firing can be found in Appendix ‘A’.
2.3 Screw threads: All screw threads used in the
Purewell boiler conform to the following: -
ISO 7/1 or ISO 228/1 for pipe threads where
applicable.
* NOTE! Flue gas volumes are based on a gross flue gas temperature of 100qC at 1013mbar. This is
considered to be the predicted temperature of the products in the secondary flue downstream of the draught
diverter.
3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The installation of the boiler MUST be in accordance

If the boiler feed water has a high degree of
hardness, it is recommended that the water be
treated to prevent precipitation of scale or sludge in
the boiler water passageways. Details of additives
can be obtained from any reliable manufacturer of
water treatment products or the local water authority.
It should be noted however, that even if the boiler
water is of average hardness, not requiring
treatment, subsequent draining of the system for
repair or constant make-up water due to an
undetected leak would cause additional deposits and
gradual build-up of scale. It is essential therefore,
that leaks are attended to promptly and draining is
kept to an absolute minimum.
It is recommended that the system be flushed out at
least twice with hot water before any water treatment
is added. If any doubt exists regarding the internal
cleanliness of an old system, consideration should
be given to the fitting of a coarse filter in the return
pipework to the boilers.
3.3 Adequate Water Flow
The Hamworthy Purewell boiler is designed as a
quick response, low water content unit, able to run
continuously with maximum reliability. Care should
be taken in the initial design and layout having due
regard for adequate water flow through the boilers
and the influence of the system controls. NOTE!
The Standards Authority recommend a minimum
return temperature of 50°C in all heating systems
other than condensing boilers.
Figure No. 2 shows recommended and minimum
water flows required. The control system and
valves, where fitted, should be regulated to avoid
lower flows occurring.
The flow corresponding to 22°C temperature rise
across the boiler is the minimum recommended flow
at any time. For boiler pressure drop see Figure No.
In order to avoid local overheating and progressive
calcium deposition at zero flow conditions where
boilers are operated from time clocks, provision
should be made for a 5 minute circulating pump
over-run after the last boiler has ceased firing.
NOTE! As the boiler electrical connection is via a 3
pin IEC fused plug and socket, any time clock, or
external means of control, must interrupt the live
supply to the boiler. - see Section 9.0:ELECTRICAL SUPPLY for details. See Figure No.
12 for wiring details.
3.5 Minimum System Water Pressure
To comply with guidance note PM5 (Health and
Safety Executive), the minimum pressure
requirements at the boiler are given below as
examples: -
1) Single installed boiler running at 82°C flow
temperature. Minimum head required is not less
than 2 metres or 0.2 bar.
2) Single installed boiler running at 95°C flow
temperature. Minimum head required = 5.1 metres
or 0.5 bar.
3) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow
temperature and 11°C rise across system. Minimum
head required = 4.3 metres or 0.42 bar.
4) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow
temperature and 22°C rise across system. Minimum
head required = 10.5 metres or 1.03 bar.
See Section 8.11 for Pressurised Water Systems.
4.0 LOCATION
5.1 Service Pipes
The local gas region must be consulted at the
installation planning stage in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas. An existing
service pipe must not be used without prior
consultation with the local gas region.
5.2 Meters
A new gas meter will be connected to the service
pipe by the local gas region, or a local gas region
contractor. An existing meter should be checked,
preferably by the gas region, to ensure that it is
adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply
required.
5.3 Gas Supply Pipes
Supply pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS
6891 or IGE/UP/2 as appropriate. Pipework from the
meter to the boiler must be of adequate size. Do not
use pipes of a smaller size than the boiler gas
connection. The complete installation must be
purged and tested for soundness as described in BS6891 or IGE/UP/1 and IGE/UP/1A as appropriate.
See Figure No. 11 for recommended gas flows in
pipes.
5.4 Boosted Supplies
Where it is necessary to employ a gas pressure
booster, the controls must include a low-pressure
cut-off switch at the booster inlet. The local gas
region must be consulted before a gas pressure
booster is fitted.
4.1 (See Figure No. 9 for dimensions/weights and
5.5 Boiler House Control Valve
clearances.) The location chosen for the boiler
MUST permit the provision of a satisfactory flue
system and an adequate air supply. The location
must also provide adequate space for servicing and
air circulation around each unit. This includes any
A manual valve for boiler house isolation shall be
fitted in the gas supply line. It shall be clearly
identified and readily accessible for operation,
preferably by an exit.
electrical trunking laid along the floor.
5.6 Boiler Gas System Leak Check
Allow adequate space, this should not normally be
less than 460mm at the rear, for flow and return
connections. Also allow at least 460mm on one
side, the other side must be no less than 150mm.
Allow 610mm (minimum) in front of the boiler for
servicing.
Although the boiler receives a gas leak check and
gas train component integrity check prior to leaving
the factory, transport and installation may cause
disturbance to unions, fittings and gas valve
assemblies’ etc. During commissioning a further test
for soundness should be carried out on the boiler
The boiler must be installed on a level noncombustible surface that is capable of adequately
supporting its weight (when filled with water) and any
ancillary equipment.
Any combustible material adjacent to the boiler and
the flue system must be so placed or shielded to
gas pipework and components. A procedure guide
is shown in Figure No. 3. Care must be taken not to
allow leak detection fluid on or near any electrical
parts or connections (If used).
See Figure No. 3 Gas valve/pipework leak check test

remove manometer connections and tighten test
points.
6.0 FLUE SYSTEM
1)‘Classic’ boilers MUST have the correct draught
diverter and primary flue duct, or optional primary
flue damper, fitted in an unmodified condition before
connection to the flue system.
‘Integra’boilersMUST have the flue hood
incorporating the draught diverter, fitted in an
unmodified condition before connection to the flue
system.
2) The bottom of the flue header should be at least
500 mm above the draught diverter skirt bottom.
3) The flue system must be self-supporting in the
correct position to avoid compression of the draught
diverter and enable its removal for boiler cleaning.
4) Boilers should be located as near the chimney as
possible the nearest being not more than 2m (6 ft)
away.
5) The flue system should be designed to achieve a
negative suction at all times at the draught diverter
outlet on all modules in a bank. For optimum
performance, draught conditions should be between
-0.05 to -0.125mbar. In the case of a single boiler
installation, the minimum vertical flue height is 2m
above the draught diverter skirt. For multiple boiler
installations consult Hamworthy Heating Technical
Department. In some instances, mechanical
assistance may be necessary. The boilers are
suitable for connection to a fan diluted flue system,
refer to I. Gas E. publication IGE/UP/10 "Installation
of gas appliances in industrial and commercial
premises Pt.1 flued appliances".
6) Purewell boilers are suitable for installation in a
balanced compartment in accordance with the
requirements of BS 6644. Consult Hamworthy
Heating Technical department for help or assistance
if in doubt.
6.2 Design Waste Gas Volume and Temperature
It is recommended that the volume and temperature
of the waste gases used for design of the flue
system be as shown in Figure No. 1 for Natural Gas.
Information relating to propane firing can be found in
Appendix ‘A’.
6.3 Flue Condensation
Care should be taken to ensure that the flue is
installed in such a way that any condensation
produced on start up will drain away naturally.
Detailed recommendations for flue systems are
6.4 Materials
given in BS 6644, I. Gas E. Publication, IGE/UP/10
"Installation of gas appliances in industrial and
commercial premises Pt.1 flued appliances".
The following notes are intended to give general
guidance only.
Materials used for the flue system must be
mechanically robust, resistant to internal and
external corrosion, non-combustible and durable
under the conditions to which they are likely to be
subjected.
6.1 General Requirements
6.5 Disconnection
The Hamworthy Purewell Series of boilers are
designed to be used with natural draught flues. Flue
systems should be designed in accordance with
current regulations and with reference to the I. Gas
E. publication IGE/UP/10 "Installation of gas
appliances in industrial and commercial premises
On ‘Classic’ models, the draught diverter is
designed to enable separation from the primary flue
duct, or optional damper, such that it can be lifted
clear of the boiler to ease disconnection. The flue
must be correctly reconnected when servicing is
Pt.1 flued appliances". The following points should
be noted: -
complete ensuring locating bolts are securely fitted.
See Section 13: SERVICING for further information.
6.6 Flue Discharge
The flue system must ensure safe and efficient
operation of the boiler to which it is attached, protect
the combustion process from wind effects and
disperse the products of combustion to the external
air.
The flue must terminate in a freely exposed position
and be so situated as to prevent the products of
combustion entering any opening in a building.
Where the flue diameter is less than 200mm (8") a
terminal must be fitted. Where the flue is of a larger
size consideration should be given to the fitting of a
flue discharge terminal or grill to stop ingress of
birds, etc.
6.7 Surface Temperatures
1) At floor level (or 100mm above) = 25°C.
2) At mid-level (1.5m above floor level) = 32°C.
3) At ceiling level (or 100mm below) = 40°C.
Where both low and high level openings are used,
the grilles shall have a total minimum free area of: -
Low Level (inlet): 540cm² plus 4.5cm² per kiloWatt in
excess of 60kW total rated input.
High Level (outlet): 270cm² plus 2.25cm² per
kiloWatt in excess of 60kW total rated input.
7.2 Air Supply by Mechanical Ventilation
Air supplied to the boiler room by Mechanical means
should be as follows: -
1) Mechanical inlet and mechanical extract can be
utilised providing design extraction rate does not
exceed one third of the design inlet rate.
2) Mechanical extract ventilation with natural inlet
ventilation MUST NOT be used.
Combustible materials in the vicinity of the boiler and
flue shall not exceed 65°C during boiler operation.
The flue shall not be closer than 50mm to any
combustible material, except where it passes
through such material with a non-combustible sleeve
when the air gap may not be less than 25mm.

there is undue risk of accidental damage to the flue
pipe or undue danger to persons in the vicinity.
NOTE! The flue MUST be self-supporting. Check
that the flue and chimney are clear from any
obstruction.
NOTE: For Mechanical ventilation systems an
automatic control should be provided to cut off the
gas supply to the boiler, in the event of failure of air
flow in either inlet or extract fans.
7.0 AIR SUPPLY
8.0 WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS 6644. The following notes are intended to give
8.1 General
general guidance. In all cases there must be
provision for an adequate supply of air for both
combustion and general ventilation, in addition to
that required for any other appliance.
The Purewell Cast Iron Boiler has a low water
content and the requirements of minimum water flow
are given in Section 8.8:Minimum Water Flow
Rates and Figure No. 2. Recommendations for the
7.1 Air Supply by Natural Ventilation
water circulation system are given in BS 6644 and
CP 342. The following notes are of particular
The boiler room must have, or be provided with,
importance: permanent air vents directly to the outside air, at high
level and at low level. For an exposed boiler house,
air vents should be fitted preferably on all four sides,
but at least on two sides. Air vents should have
negligible resistance and must not be sited in any
position where they are likely to be easily blocked or
flooded or in any position adjacent to an extraction
system which is carrying flammable vapour. Grilles
or louvres must be so designed that high velocity air
streams do not occur within the space housing the
boiler.
The air supplied for boiler house ventilation shall be
such that the maximum temperatures within the
1) In a combined central heating and hot water
system, the hot water storage vessel must be of the
indirect cylinder or calorifier type. The hot water
storage vessel should be insulated preferably with
not less than 75mm (3in) thick mineral fibre, or its
thermal equivalent.
2) Circulating pipework not forming part of the useful
heating surface should be insulated to help prevent
heat loss and possible freezing, particularly where
pipes are run through roof spaces and ventilated
cavities. Cisterns situated in areas, which may be
exposed to freezing conditions, should also be
boiler house shall be as follows:
insulated. Insulation exposed to the weather should
be rendered waterproof.
3) Draining taps must be located in accessible
positions, which permit the draining of the whole
system, including the boiler and hot water storage
vessel.
4) Each boiler has one Rc2 BS21 flow and one Rc2
BS21 return tapping. Flow and return headers
should connect boilers but sufficient length of
connecting pipe should be allowed to clear the
casing before connecting into the headers. The
headers should be connected to the system in a
"reverse return" arrangement (the water flow in each
header is in the same direction) to ensure equal flow
in each module. Figure No. 8 shows typical layout.
8.2 Pressure Relief Valve (Safety Valve)
Each boiler, or in the case of a modular installations,
each bank of boilers, must be fitted with a pressure
relief valve to BS 6759 Part 1 and sized as shown in
BS 6644.
BS 6644 provides comprehensive information for the
selection and location of safety valves and attention
is drawn to the higher capacity requirements of
safety valves for pressurised hot water systems.
8.6 Drain Valves
Each boiler should have a 15mm NB drain valve (not
H.H.L. supply) fitted to drain the boiler only. The
heating system in total should have drain valves as
recommended by BS 6644. See Figure No. 8 for
recommended positions.
8.7 Circulating Pump
One or more circulating pumps will be required to
circulate water around the boilers and heating
system. Figure No. 1 shows the hydraulic resistance
of the boiler. The pump should be sited to facilitate
servicing. It is important to note that when Purewell
boilers are used to replace boilers on an existing
system, the pumps should be checked for
performance against the new boiler waterside
pressure drop to ensure that the minimum flow rate
can be obtained. It is also important that the existing
system be flushed through twice to remove any
loose matter, which may have accumulated. If in any
doubt regarding the cleanliness of the system, a
coarse filter should be fitted in the return pipework to
the boilers.
8.8 Minimum Water Flow Rates
8.3 Open Vent and Cold Feed Pipe
(See BS 6644 for further information.)
Every boiler or group of boilers should have an open
vent pipe and cold feed pipe installed between the
boiler and the first water isolating valve. The
minimum bore (mm) of these pipes per installation is
as follows: -
Boiler OutputFeedVent
< 60kW1925
60kW - 150kW2532
150kW - 300kW3238
300kW - 600kW3850
The vent pipe must rise continually, must not be
valved except by a design which when closed for
maintenance ensures the boiler is open to
atmosphere. The pipe shall be protected against
freezing where this might occur.
8.4 Altitude Gauge (Water Pressure Gauge)
Every boiler or group of boilers should be provided
with a gauge complete with isolating cock. See
Figure No. 8 for typical position.
8.5 Thermometer
See Figure No. 8 for typical position.
A thermometer complete with pocket should be fitted
in the pipework to indicate water flow temperature.
Minimum water flow rates are shown in Figure No. 2.
These flow rates must be maintained through the
boiler at all times whilst the boiler is firing. If the flow
rate is allowed to fall below the minimum, the boiler
heat exchanger could fail due to the resultant scale
formation. Particular attention should be paid to the
restriction of external flow circuits during periods of
low heat demand.
8.9 Waterside Pressure Drop
The waterside hydraulic resistance (Pressure drop)
is shown in Figure Nos.1 & 2.
NOTE: If boilers are run off time clock control, a
pump overrun (not H.H.L. supply) should be fitted
which must run for a minimum of 5 minutes on shutdown of the last boiler.
8.10 Control Schemes
8.10.1 Temperature Controls
An adjustable control thermostat is supplied for each
boiler and should be set to operate within the range
65-90°C for standard applications.
If a higher water temperature is required, and
providing sufficient head on the water system is
available, the thermostat may be adjusted to operate
up to 120°C – see Note. A temperature limiter,
(hand reset limit thermostat) is also fitted to the boiler
and is normally set at 100°C with a maximum setting
of 110°C. The minimum difference between control
thermostat and temperature limiter MUST NOT be
less than 10°C.
Note! A high temperature control kit is available
incorporating a new temperature limiter, and
instructions. For further information contact
Hamworthy Heating for details.
9.0 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
8.10.2 Water Flow Controls
Any external mixing valves or similar controls should
always ensure that the minimum water flow rate
shown in Figure No. 2 is maintained.
8.10.3 Frost Protection
Consideration should be given to fitting a frost
thermostat set at approximately 4°C.
8.11 Unvented Pressurised Systems
See Figure No. 8 for typical layout of a Pressurised
(Un-vented) Hot Water System.
In order to correctly size a Pressurisation Unit for
any Heating System certain parameters are
required. These are: -
1) Static height of highest component in system.
2) System volume - if not known a general rule of
thumb of 10 litres/kW installed boiler power can be
used.
3) Maximum flow temperature, i.e. most systems run
at 82°C.
4) Maximum system hot working pressure, generally
given in barg.
Wiring external to the boiler must be installed in
accordance with the IEE Regulations and any local
regulations, which apply. Wiring must be completed
in heat resistant 3-core cable. (Size 1.0mm² csa).
Boilers are normally supplied suitable for 230 volts,
50Hz. Control panel fuse rating is 2A. External
fuses should be 6A for all single boiler sizes.
The method of connection to the mains electricity
supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of
the single boiler with a contact separation of at least
3mm in all poles.
This appliance must be isolated from the mains
electricity supply in the event of electric arc
welding being carried out on any connecting
pipework.
A mains isolator must be provided adjacent to the
boiler in a readily accessible position. The supply
should only serve the boiler.
NOTE! There is no facility on the Purewell boiler for
the connection of any remote signals, alarms or
control. Any controls MUST interrupt the supply to
the boiler. Accordingly, any pumps MUST be wired
to the control to achieve operation and desired
overrun.
From the above information Hamworthy Heating can
size the pressure unit and also the expansion vessel
required.
Care must be taken in sizing expansion vessels to
ensure maximum acceptance factors are not
exceeded. Normally manufactures of vessels
impose a limit of 0.5. This value must not be
exceeded at any time during the operation of the
boiler: this includes the over pressure condition
should a safety valve lift.
Consideration should also be given to sizing of the
safety valve(s) in the system. See BS 6759: Part 1
for information.
See also BS 6880: Part 1 for design considerations.
8.12 Modular Boiler Control Schemes
For Modular applications Hamworthy Heating can
supply a unique boiler management control system
called the 'Marshall HE' - see Figure No. 8. This
system comprises of a remote master control unit,
which houses the main interface processor and will
control up to 8 stages. For further information
contact Hamworthy Heating for details.
NOTE! When an optional On/Off Primary Flue
Damper is fitted, there is a facility for the connection
of a remote start/stop loop. This loop requires a volt
free contact for operation. Power is supplied by the
boiler to allow this circuit to function. Refer to the kit
instructions for wiring details. Further details
regarding connection to the electricity supply are
given in BS EN 60335, Part 1 or BS 3456, Part 201.
Refer to Figure No. 12 for typical site wiring
connections. See BS 6644 for further information.
9.1 Site Wiring
Access to the controls is achieved by rotating the ¼
turn latch and removing the door. A 20mm dia.
knockout is provided in each side panel if required
for electrical connections. Any other routing of site
cables should ensure that cables do not pass close
to the boiler flue hood or that any cable trunking
does not interfere with normal air circulation and
supply ducts.
An IEC 3 pin fused (2A) plug and socket
arrangement is utilised for the site terminal
connections. Care must be taken to ensure correct
connections are made to the relevant terminals
before applying power.
Refer to Figure No. 12 for typical wiring diagram.
If the optional Flame Failure kit is fitted, the electrical
input/output cannot be interfaced with the boiler
controls. Separate provisions must be made for the
electrical connections to the gas pressure switch.
Utilise the gland/cable anchorage on the pressure
switch and take care in the routing of any cables
within the boiler case.
10.0 BOILER ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

as an option.
Further details of each individual assembly is given
below: -
1) Factory tested heat exchanger casting assembly
complete, including insulation wrap, gas valve
assembly including pre-wired plug assembly. The
gas connection pipe should be fitted to the boiler flue
hood once the heat exchanger is located. NOTE!
Care must be taken to ensure no damage occurs to
either insulation wrap or gas connecting pipe.
NOTE! THIS PIPE MUST NOT BE USED TO
MANOEUVRE OR POSITION THE BOILER.
Consideration must be given to the weight of the
boiler (See Figure No. 9), before lifting. It is
recommended that the boiler is moved complete with
pallet and positioned correctly. The pallet can then
be dismantled and the boiler slid into position.
2) Casing including all screws, fasteners, etc. to
permit site assembly. Instructions are included in
each box to show method of assembly. Two sizes
are manufactured these are: - Small casing for
boilers up to 80kW (NOTE! P70 ‘Integra’ model
utilises larger casing), large casing for all boilers
from 95kW to 120kW.
Instructions are supplied with the draught diverter on
how to assemble the unit, if required. These
instructions MUST be followed correctly and fully
complied with to ensure correct operation.
NOTE! Ensure the baffle (Not fitted to 120kW boiler)
is positioned correctly and laying flat on the heat
exchanger before fitting the flue hood onto the boiler
(if removed).
NOTE! If fitting an optional Primary Flue Damper
refer to the instructions. These instructions MUST be
followed correctly and fully complied with to ensure
correct operation. It is recommended that the heat
exchanger insulation be fitted prior to fitting the
damper.
With reference to Figure No. 5a - Unfold blanket and
offer up to the boiler as shown. Ensure gas pipe
cutout is positioned to the left and that the ‘petals’
are uppermost. Sit the insulation blanket onto the
basket ensuring a snug fit.
Figure No. 5a
NOTE! When installing a multi-casing set the
spacing plates must be used to correctly space the
boilers approx. 3mm apart prior to fitting the casing.
(See label attached to the basket fixing.)
It is recommended that all mechanical work is
carried out prior to fitting the casing assembly, this
will reduce possible damage to the panels.
The casing assembly includes a component list,
which is also shown in Figure No. 7. You should
check to ensure that all parts are supplied prior to

Tighten screws ensuring ‘U’ clamp threads do not
damage insulation. It may be necessary to remove
the bottom thread of the ‘U’ clamp with the bracket in
pipe/manifold and ensure pipe is vertical/horizontal
before clamping in position.
10.4 Connection to the Flue System
Notes on the recommendation for design of the flue
system are given in Section 6:FLUE SYSTEM.
Fully closing valves must not be connected to both
flow and return pipes unless the boiler is fitted with
an individual, correctly sized safety valve. It is
recommended that a 3-way 'L' port valve is fitted in
the flow connection to allow an open vent situation
should the boiler need to be fully isolated from the
system.
10.4.1 ‘Classic’ models: -
The draught diverter and primary flue duct supplied
with the boiler must be fitted to the boiler in
accordance with the fitting instructions, NO
modifications are permitted on site. Care should be
taken to ensure the seals between primary flue,
draught diverter and boiler spigot are sound, as a
leak may affect the boilers’ operation.
NOTE! If an optional Primary Flue Damper kit is
fitted, take care in routing the damper electrical
cables into the control panel. . Prior to fitting the
assembly to the boiler, read the Primary Flue
Damper instructions.
The top panel can be fitted after fitting the draught
diverter assembly and where necessary, having
made the damper electrical connections to the
control panel.
10.4.2 ‘Integra’ models: -
The ‘Integra’ model incorporates its own draught
diverter and care must be taken to ensure the seal
between the outlet spigot and flue pipe is sound to
avoid the escape of flue gas.
10.4.3
The top panel will require protecting to ensure no
damage occurs to the plastic coating during
subsequent site assembly of other components.
It is important, for service requirements, that the flue
system is fully self-supporting. Check the flue and
chimney are clear from obstruction.
10.5 Gas Connection
The Purewell boiler is supplied with a gas pipe
which, when assembled, exits the casing at the rear.
See Figure No. 9 for position. The incoming mains
gas supply must be capable of supplying gas to the
boiler at the required pressure, under all firing
conditions. For sizing information see Figure No. 11.
An approved isolating valve & union should be
installed for each boiler in a convenient and safe
position and be clearly marked.
10.6 Water Connections
See Figure No. 9 for position of water connections
(flow and return). A ½" BSP plug is fitted local to the
return connection for the fitting of a drain cock,
NOTE! (Not HHL supply.) Care must be taken when
installing water system pipework that undue stress is
avoided on the boiler flow and return connections. It
is recommended that unions are fitted local to the
boiler to permit future servicing requirements.
10.7 Casing and Controls Assembly
For assembly of casing components and controls
unit see Figure No. 7.
Multi casings
Note:Where boilers are in Modular form, i.e.
MPC360 (3 x 120kW), a multi-casing pack is
provided for each additional boiler. For example: a
triple boiler module will require: - 1 off single casing

place.
11.0 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING
11.1 Electrical Installation
A suitably competent person MUST check wiring.
Power supply required is 230 volts AC single phase
50Hz. An isolator correctly fused at 6A should be
sited close to the boiler.
Access to the controls is achieved by rotating the ¼
turn latch and removing the door. The electrical
connection to the boiler MUST be via the 3 pin IEC
plug supplied.
Any interlocks, i.e. Pressurisation unit, BEM
System should be wired to control the supply to
the boiler.
A schematic of the circuit is shown in Figure No. 12,
optional extras (if fitted) are also shown.
11.2 Gas Installation
For design see Section 5:GAS SUPPLY.
The whole of the gas installation including the
meter must be inspected and tested for soundness
and purged in accordance with the
recommendations of BS 6891 or IGE/UP/1,IGE/UP/1A and IGE/UP/2 as appropriate.

gas pressure switch (set at 20mbar). Should the
pressure fall below this level, the boiler will not
operate.
1) Gas supply is connected but turned to the "off"
position. Any unions or fittings are correctly
tightened, test points are closed, burners correctly
positioned, injectors are in place (of correct size)
and tight and that the pilot is connected to the gas
In order to comply with local Water Authority
Regulations, this loop must be disconnected when
filling is complete. Water treatments should not be
fed through the Pressurisation unit unless permitted
by the manufacturer.
Check the expansion vessel cushion pressure as
detailed by the manufacturer's Installer's Guide.
11.4 Commissioning The Boiler
A competent person holding ‘CORGI’ registration
MUST be responsible for the commissioning of this
boiler. Before attempting to commission any boiler,
ensure that personnel involved are aware of what
action is about to be taken and begin by making the
following checks: -
1) Flueway passages to chimney are clear.
2a) ‘Classic’ models: - If necessary, remove the
draught diverter assembly and optional Primary
Flue Damper, if fitted, flue hood and baffle, (not
fitted to the 120kW boiler), to ensure the boiler
flueways are clear. Reposition the gas baffle
ensuring that it is lying flat on the top section. Re-fit
the flue hood. Ensure draught diverter passages
and Primary Flue Damper, if fitted, are clear and
clean.
2b) ‘Integra’ models: - The ‘Integra’ draught
diverter incorporates an integral inspection cover.
To gain access, remove insulation and the M6 bolts
on the sloping front of the hood assembly. This will
reveal the inner part of the boiler, if further access
is required, remove primary flue pipe (ensure it is
valve.
2) Ensure electricity is connected to the 3 pin IEC
plug on boiler and that the thermostat bulbs are
fully inserted into the boiler pocket. Ensure the
thermocouple is correctly connected between gas
valve and pilot burner.
3 Re-set temperature limiter by firmly pressing pin
on unit.
4) Check Piezo unit is fitted securely on to its
bracket and the lead is undamaged and correctly
located.
5) Check setting of both temperature limiter and
control thermostat. The temperature limiter is
generally set at 100°C from the factory unless
otherwise instructed. Set thermostat to required
temperature (normally 82°C). Remove knob to set
limits if required.
NOTE! Minimum temperature setting should not be
less than 72°C to avoid condensation in the flue if a
22°C system temperature rise is used.
NOTE! It is generally recommended that the
minimum return temperature to a non-condensing
boiler is 50°C.
11.5.1 Procedure for Initial Lighting
WARNING: If the pilot light is extinguished either
intentionally or unintentionally, no attempt should
be made to re-light the pilot until at least 3 minutes
have elapsed. This delay is for safety reasons
and MUST not be ignored.

before repeating above procedure.
firing as the flue can achieve temperatures, which
will produce injury if touched.
If the pilot does not light after repeatedly operating
the piezo unit for several seconds, re-vent the gas
line to the outside of the building. Check whether
spark and gas are present at the pilot. (See
Section 12:FAULT FINDING). Having established
the pilot, release the 'start' button and remove the
pilot adjustment cover screw on the gas control
valve. (See Figure No. 14 for relevant gas valve
fitted).
11.6 Gas Pressure Adjustment and Combustion
Checks
Adjust the screw so that the flame envelops the tip
by approx. 12mm. After pilot adjustment, check
time clock circuits (if fitted) are closed. Replace the
3 pin IEC plug. Adjust control thermostat to
required temperature: the gas valve should open
and main burner ignite.
After the boiler has operated for approximately 10
minutes, remove the 3 pin IEC plug. Open the
pressure test point screw on the burner manifold
and fit a manometer (suitable for 30mbar - Natural
Gas or 50mbar - Propane). Check gas pressure
reading against that shown in Figure No. 1 or
Appendix ‘A’. Adjust control valve regulator as
required by removing cap and turning with a
screwdriver. Refer to Figure No. 14 for alternative
gas valve details.
Remove manometer and close all pressure test
points, (Replace caps if fitted). Record all readings
for future reference on relevant commissioning
sheet.
Check no flue gas spillage occurs from the diverter:
Ref. BS 5440:Part1 will give guidance if required.
Allow system to warm up sufficiently to check
operation of control thermostat.
11.7 Temperature Limiter (Limit Thermostat)
Reset and test the operation of the temperature
limiter by firmly pressing the button (in the control
panel), removing the clip and bulb from the pocket
and carefully applying a heat source to the bulb.
The reset button should operate. If satisfactory, refit
the bulb in the pocket and secure with the clip.
Check temperature limiter setting. This can be
achieved by isolating the power supply, removing
the door and removing the control panel cover.
Remove the plastic cover (unscrewing) if fitted.
Undo holding nut and withdraw into the controls
housing. Adjust if required and replace in reverse
order to above.
Combustion figures for Natural Gas should be as
follows: -
CO
= 8.5 - 9% (Dry flue gas).
2
CO = 0-50ppm: However figure should not
exceed 200ppm under normal operating conditions.
Details of flue gas composition relating to propane
firing can be found in Appendix ‘A’.
The flame supervision device can now be checked
by pressing/twisting the stop button on the gas
control valve (Operation dependent on gas valve
type fitted.). After approximately 45 seconds the
solenoid valve should be heard to click closed.
Wait a further 3 minutes and carry out pilot
lighting procedure.
11.8 User’s Instructions
When the above is complete, the end user or their
representative should be made aware of the lighting
and operating instructions fitted to the inside of the
boiler door. A practical demonstration should be
given describing each functional step. This
Installer's Guide and user’s instructions should then
be handed over and be kept in a safe place for
easy reference.
12.0 FAULT FINDING
12.1 Safety Features Summary
Should the control thermostat fail, the temperature
limiter will trip thus creating an immediate shutdown
regardless of firing mode. If this occurs the
temperature limiter situated in the controls housing
will require re-setting by pushing the small pin in
firmly.Note! Access to this pin is gained by
removing door and unscrewing safety cover (if
fitted). An investigation should be carried out to
ascertain the reason for the overheating. An
obvious reason would be too low a water flow rate
through the boiler. NOTE! The pilot will not remain
established if this pin is not re-set manually.
Volt free contacts are not available for connection
to BEM system. An optional Flame Failure kit is
available utilising a gas pressure switch fitted in the
pilot gas line and in the event of pilot failure this will
activate a remote lockout signal – to be configured
by a competent person.
All propane-firing boilers are fitted with a low gas
pressure switch (set at 20mbar). Should the gas
supply pressure fall below this level, the boiler willnot operate.
A combustion check must be taken when first
