fired cast iron sectional boilers with outputs ranging
from 110kW to 340kW.
Spetisbury boilers can be used individually, or in a
multi-boiler configuration, and are suitable for use
on either open-vented or sealed low temperature hot
water heating systems. For hot water production
they can be used in conjunction with calorifiers or
indirect hot water cylinders.
Stacking kits are available for pairs of Spetisbury
boilers and are assembled on site to HHL
instructions 500005091 in combination with this
manual.
Portland and Weymouth pressurisation units are
available from Hamworthy Heating Ltd for sealed
systems.
1.2 Spetisbury sectional boilers are supplied
unassembled ready for on-site assembly.
The heat exchanger consists of:
a. A front section
b. Plain intermediate sections which can be
adapted to form the 3 types of intermediate
sections.
c. A rear section
These sections are connected to each other using
guide rings and 'O' ring gaskets and are held
together by short lacing bolts. The complete
assembly is held together by four M14 threaded tie
rods running the length of the heat exchanger.
The section to section flue gas seal is made by:
d. A mastic strip around the outer perimeter of
each section.
e. A mastic strip around the perimeter of the
combustion chamber of each section.
The sections are cast with extended surface fins to
increase the heat exchange area and thus enhance
thermal efficiency in use.
The heat exchanger assembly is completed by cast
iron front and rear combustion chamber plates and
access plates for the cleaning and inspection of the
heat exchanger flue ways (on front and rear), all of
which are internally lined with a ceramic fibre
insulation board. The smoke box/flue connector is
bolted to the upper part of the rear section and
sealed with a ceramic fibre gasket.
The heat exchanger is mounted on a steel cradle
which in turn stands on legs, leaving access for
cleaning beneath the heat exchanger. The flow and
return water connections are located at the rear of
the boiler. Refer to Section 8 for details of water
circulation system.
All site wiring is made direct to the burner, refer to
section 10.6 for guidance.
The boiler is housed in a powder coated sheet steel
casing which is supplied flat-packed for on-site
assembly. Refer to Section 10.5 for casing
assembly procedure.
1.3 All Spetisbury boiler sections are hydraulically
tested to 10 bar (145 psi), ensuring the Spetisbury
boiler is suitable for use on systems with maximum
working pressures of up to 5 bar (73 psi).

3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Related Documents.
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
1994 – (As amended). It is the law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons, in
accordance with the above regulations. Failure to
install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution.
It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to
ensure that this law is complied with.
The installation of the boiler MUST be in accordance
with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety
Regulations, Building Regulations, I.E.E. Regulations
and the bylaws of the local water undertaking.
The installation should also be in accordance with any
relevant requirements of the local gas region and local
authority and the relevant recommendations of the
following documents :-
British Standards
BS.5854 - Code of practice for flues and flue
structures in buildings. See para 5 (3.6).

It is impractical in this document to specify all relevant
information, but the following extracts from the above
references are emphasised since failure to comply with
these requirements will almost certainly result in an
unsatisfactory installation.
3.2 Feed Water Quality
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 will 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 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 boiler(s).
3.3 Adequate Water Flow
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.
It is recommended that the system design should
ensure a minimum return temperature of 50 °C.
If the temperature/flow rates of the application
cannot meet those given in Figure 3.1 it may be
necessary to incorporate mixing valves and shunt
pumps to ensure that the boiler will operate
satisfactorily. Figure 3.1 shows recommended and
minimum water flows required with the associated
pressure losses. The control system and valves,
where fitted, should be regulated to avoid lower
flows occurring.
3.4 Time Clock Control
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.

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. See Section 8.9.1
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 15°C rise across system. Minimum
head required = 9.4 metres or 0.92 bar. See Section
8.10 for Pressurised Water Systems.
4.0 LOCATION
4.1 The boiler location must permit the provision of
a satisfactory flue system, and provide adequate
space around the boiler for servicing and air
circulation.
Sufficient space must be provided at the front of the
boiler to allow the removal of the burner assembly
for servicing/replacement, and at the rear for
installation of pipes, valves and flue.
Sufficient clearance around the boiler must also be
provided to allow access for servicing. Refer to
Figure 15.2 for recommended clearances.
The boiler room, or compartment, housing the boiler
(s) - whether specifically constructed for the
purpose, or a modification of an existing space should be in accordance with the requirements of
BS.6644.
Where a separate purpose built boiler room is not
available, measures should be taken to protect the
boiler or boilers from damage, and the boiler should
be sited such that extraneous material cannot be
stored next to, or against it.
The boiler stands on a steel cradle and therefore it
requires installing on a suitable level noncombustible surface, capable of withstanding
temperatures of 65
°
C and able to support the weight
of the boiler (including pipework and ancillary
equipment) when filled with water. A steel sheet
can be placed beneath the boiler cradle to facilitate
movement of the boiler during assembly. If a plinth
is required, it should be level, non-combustible,
50mm nominal height, and must be equal in width to
the boiler casing dimensions.
The compartment housing the boiler must have
permanent air vents communicating directly with the
outside air at both high and low level. Refer to
Section 7 for details.
5.0 GAS SUPPLY
5.1 Gas Service Pipes
The local gas region should be consulted at the
installation planning stage to either determine the
feasibility of providing a gas supply or, where there
is an existing supply, to ensure that the meter
capacity is adequate for the rated input of the
proposed new boiler. An existing gas service pipe
must not be used without prior consultation with the
local gas region.
5.2 Gas 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. 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 BS 6891 or IGE/UP/1 and IGE/UP/1A as
appropriate.
A manual shut off valve must be fitted on the incoming
gas supply pipe, adjacent to each boiler, in an easily
accessible position.
5.4Boosted Gas 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.
5.5 Boiler House Gas Control Valve
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.

6.0 FLUE SYSTEM
6.1 General Requirements
Detailed recommendations for flue systems are given in
BS 6644, IGE/UP/10, "Flues for Commercial and
Industrial Gas-Fired Boilers and Air Heaters."
The following notes are intended to give general
guidance only.
The flue passages within the Spetisbury operate
under pressurised conditions and in order to
eliminate any additional resistance, it is
recommended that the flue system shall be adapted
to its design diameter as soon as possible, after
leaving the boiler.
The boiler should be connected to a single flue
system in the case of a single boiler, or a common
flue header in the case of a multiple boiler
installation. Flue systems must be self supporting,
contain access for cleaning and contain a
maintenance joint near the boiler outlet to allow for
removal of the flue box during servicing.
Spetisbury 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.
6.2Design Waste Gas Volume and Temperature
It is recommended that the volume and temperature
of the waste gases used for design of the flue
system are as shown in Figure 15.7.
6.3 Materials
Materials used for the flue system must be mechanically
robust, resistant to internal and external corrosion, noncombustible and durable under the conditions to which
they are likely to be subjected.
Consideration should be given to possible freezing of
condense water traps and pipework. This must be
avoided at all times. Insulate condense pipes if freezing
temperatures are likely to be encountered.
Chimneys should be lined with a non-porous acidresistant material in accordance with BS.5854, e.g.
a flexible flue liner or similar British Gas Approved
material. The internal diameter of the liner must not
be less than the recommended flue size and the
number of joints should be kept to a minimum.
Any joint between the flexible liner and the flue pipe
from the boiler should be made using a purpose
made connector. Existing chimneys should be
thoroughly swept before use and any register plates,
dampers, or restrictions removed.
If the boiler(s) is not connected to a chimney
system, but is connected directly to outside by a
standard stainless steel flue (either single or twin
wall) it is particularly important to ensure that the
point at which it exits the building is fully
weatherproofed.
6.4 Suction
The flue system should be designed to maintain
atmospheric pressure or a slight suction at the boiler
flue connection at all times (0.1 - 0.3mbar). It is
recommended that a draught stabiliser is fitted to the
flue system where the suction is likely to exceed
0.3mbar.
6.5Disconnection
Provisions should be made for disconnection of the flue
pipe for servicing. It is advisable that bends are fitted
with removable covers for inspection and cleaning as
appropriate. NOTE! The flue system must be self
supporting and not present a risk to people in or around
the building.
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 situated so as to prevent the products of combustion
entering any opening in a building. Consideration should
be given to the fitting of a flue discharge terminal or grille
to stop the ingress of birds etc.
The flue system should be designed such that the
flue terminates at least 1 metre above the roof
surface, or above the level of any nearby structure
which is within 2.5 metres of the flue.
6.7 Surface Temperatures
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.
6.8Flue System Location
The flue system must not be placed or fitted where
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.
6.9 Condensate Discharge
When designing the flue system, care must be taken
to ensure that any condensate which may form
within the system, can be safely drained to a
suitable waste point and, that the flue material used
is resistant to the corrosive effects of that
condensate.

7.0 AIR SUPPLY
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS 6644. The following notes are intended to give
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.
7.1Air Supply By Natural Ventilation
The boiler room must have, or be provided with,
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 boiler
house shall be as follows:
1) At floor level (or 100 mm above floor level)
= 25 °C.
2) At mid-level (1.5 m above floor level)
= 32 °C.
3) At ceiling level (or 100 mm below ceiling level)
= 40 °C.
Where both low and high level openings are used, the
grilles shall have a total minimum free area of :Low Level (inlet) 540cm
of 60 kW total rated input (gross).
High Level (outlet) 270cm
2
plus 4.5cm2 per kW in excess
2
plus 2.25cm2 per kW in
excess of 60kW total rated input (gross).
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
utilized providing design extraction rates comply with
Figure 7.1.
2) Mechanical extract ventilation with natural inlet
ventilation MUST NOT be used.
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.

8.0 WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
8.1 General
Recommendations for the water circulation system are
given in BS 6644 and CP 342. The following notes are
of particular importance:-
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
(3 in) 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 insulated. Insulation
exposed to the weather should be rendered waterproof.
3) Drain valves 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 4” N.B. Flanged flow and return
connections located on the rear section of the boiler.
Mating flanges are supplied suitable for welding to 4”
NB pipe.
5) Multiple boilers should be connected by flow and
return headers. 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.
8.2 Pressure Relief Valve (Safety Valve)
The most important single safety device fitted to a boiler
is its safety valve and each boiler, or in the case of a
modular installation, each bank of boilers, must be fitted
with a pressure relief valve to BS 759 or BS 6759 Part 1
(ISO 4126) 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.
8.3 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 are detailed in
Figure 8.3.
The vent pipe must rise continually, must not be valved
except by a design which when closed for maintenance
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 valve. See
Figure 15.1 for typical position.

Figure 8.3. Cold Feed and Vent Pipe Sizes (mm)
8.5 Thermometer
See Figure 15.1 for typical position.
A thermometer complete with pocket should be fitted in
the pipework to indicate water flow temperature.
8.6 Drain Valves
Each boiler should have ¾” NB drain valve fitted (not
HHL supply), to drain the boiler only. A plugged Rc ¾”
connection is provided for a drain valve at the bottom of
the front boiler section. The heating system in total
should have drain valves as recommended by BS
6644. See Figure 15.1 for recommended positions.
8.7 Circulating Pump
One or more circulating pumps will be required to
circulate water around the boilers and heating system.
The pump should be sited to facilitate servicing. 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.
NOTE: If boilers are run off time clock control, a pump
overrun (not HHL supply) should be fitted which must
run for a minimum of 5 minutes on shut-down of the last
boiler.
8.8 Minimum Water Flow Rates
Minimum water flow rates are shown in Figure 3.1.
These flow rates should be maintained through the
boiler at all times whilst the boiler is firing. If the
water 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 Control Schemes
8.9.1 Temperature Controls
An adjustable control thermostat is supplied with each
boiler and should be set to operate within the range 6590°C for standard applications. A temperature limiter,
(hand reset limit thermostat) is also fitted to the boiler
and must be set at 100°C.
NOTE! The minimum difference between control
thermostat and temperature limiter must never be less
than 10°C.
Where the system is operating on a DT of 20°C, care
should be taken to ensure that the return temperature
does not fall below 50°C.
8.9.2 Water Flow Controls
Any external mixing valve/shunt pump or similar
controls should ALWAYS ENSURE that the minimum
water flow rate as shown in Figure 3.1 is maintained.
8.9.3 Frost Protection
Consideration should be given to fitting a frost
thermostat set at approximately 4°C.
8.10 Unvented Systems
See Figure 15.1 for typical layout of a Unvented
(Pressurised) Hot Water System. For system design
refer to BS 7074 Part 2.
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
(metres).
2) System volume - if it is not known a general rule of
thumb of 10 litres/kW of installed boiler power can be
used.
3) Maximum flow temperature (°C).
4) Maximum system hot working pressure, generally
given in bar g.
From the above information Hamworthy Heating can
size the pressurization unit and also the expansion
vessel required. Care must be taken in sizing expansion
vessels to ensure maximum acceptance factors are not
exceeded. Normally manufacturers 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.
8.11 Modular Boiler Control Schemes
For modular boiler installations, Hamworthy Heating
can supply a unique boiler management control system
called the ‘Marshall HE’. This system comprises: a wall
mounted master control unit, which houses the main
interface processor and will control up to 8 stages. For
further information, contact Hamworthy Heating for
details.

9.1 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The electrical installation should be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent personnel. Before
commencing the installation, ensure that all
electrical supplies to the burner are disconnected
and that the gas supply is turned off.
Figure 9.1 shows the electrical wiring diagram for
the burner. Connections must be made to supply
230V / 50Hz Live, Neutral, Earth and the (green/
black) NTC temperature sensor plug must be
correctly fitted.
You must always comply with the basic safety and
electrical regulations that are in force when carrying
out the electrical installation of the burner. This
includes statutory Regulations and National and
International Standards where they apply.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a
separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be
provided.
Always ensure that equipment is connected to the
earthing system and never reverse the Live and
Neutral connections.
9.2 GAS TRAIN INSTALLATION
The gas train installation should be carried out by
suitably qualified and competent personnel. Before
commencing the installation, ensure that the gas
supply is turned off and that all electrical supplies to
the burner are also disconnected.
When connecting a pipe to the Gas Valve Inlet
always use a sound taper fitting with thread
according to ISO 7-1 or a piece of new, properly
reamed pipe, free from swarf, dirt or debris.
Flanges are provided to allow for a pipe size of ¾”
for SP110, SP150, 1” for SP220 and 1¼” for SP280
and SP340 models with a threaded length of 13mm.
Do not thread or tighten the pipe or pipe fitting more
than the 13mm as this could damage or distort the
Gas Valve.
Always include a manually operated shut-off valve
and means of burner disconnection in the gas train
when carrying out the installation. This is required to
isolate the burner for maintenance and servicing
requirements, or for when the burner is taken out of
use for prolonged periods.

b. One complete rear section (assembled with
access doors etc.)
c. A number of plain intermediate sections which
are converted to the correct number of front, rear
and central intermediate sections by the addition of
flue plates.
Prior to building the boiler the flue plates and their
retaining nuts and bolts should be located and
identified in the accessory kit. Reference MUST be made to Figures 10.1 & 10.2 . Having determined
the size of boiler to be built the numbers of each of
the three sections required (RI, I and FI) can be
read from Figure 10.1. The correct number of each
section MUST then be made up by inserting the flue
plates and locking nuts into position with nuts and
bolts. The plates MUST be inserted into the
sections in the slots provided and the number and
position of the plates MUST be in accordance with
the detail shown in Figure 10.2.
For the purposes of identification, the intermediate
sections (I) have SIX flue plates fitted into the
flueways. The front intermediate section (FI) has
TWO plates fitted across the centreline of the
flueways and the Rear Intermediate section has
FOUR plates fitted at 45
o
around the flueways.
NOTE: The assembled front and rear castings of
the boiler are already fitted with flue plates.
When fully assembled, the flue gas flow path
through one half of the boiler is as illustrated in Fig.
10.10.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THE BOILER IS
BUILT WITH THE CORRECT NUMBER AND
TYPE OF INTERMEDIATE SECTIONS IN THE
CORRECT ORDER.
10.2 Preparation
Place boiler sections in boiler room, adjacent to
proposed site for boiler, in order of build to allow
quick and easy handling and assembly.
Clean both upper and lower ports on each section.
Thoroughly clean the machined joint faces on both
sides of each section to leave a smooth, clean,
paint-free finish.
Open fittings crate and remove lacing bolts, sealing
mastic, guide rings, and 'O'-ring sealing gaskets.
N.B. Ensure these gaskets are kept dry and free
from dirt, grit, oil and grease.
Position the steel cradle on the level surface
prepared for the boiler. Refer to Section 4 - Boiler

Figure 15.2 Dimensions and Clearances
Note ** - this dimension is a minimum recommendation permitting access to the rear of the boiler for maintenance
(800mm for stacked boilers). It may not however be adequate for the installation of flue bends within the boiler
house. Where necessary, the dimension must be increased accordingly.
When installing a Spetisbury SP 280 or SP 340 a burner mounting plate is not required as the burner fits directly
to the boiler casting. The dimensions of the SP 280 / 340 burner fixings are shown below.
