INTRODUCTION
The isar range of boilers are wall mounted, full sequence, automatic spark
ignition, low water content, fanned flue, high efficiency, condensing,
combination gas boilers.
Note. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water vapour will form
at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of 8.8 to 23.4kW
(30,000 to 80,000 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully modulating with
a maximum of :
HE24 24.4kW (80,000 Btu/h)
HE30 29.3kW (100,000 Btu/h)
HE35 35.2kW (120,000 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat exchanger,
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the user control and
the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with the user controls
capable of being mounted remotely from the boiler if the option is required.
The boiler temperature controls are visible at the bottom RHS of the front
panel.
The heat exchanger is of cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed water systems
ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely draining the system by
provision of drain cocks MUST be provided in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards as standard, but may be
routed upwards behind the boiler using the stand-off frame (supplied in a
separate kit).
OPERATION
With no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn off, or
periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, in order to maintain
the DHW calorifier in a heated condition.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is supplied at the
selected temperature of between 30 oC and 82oC, until DHW is drawn off.
The full output from the boiler is then directed via the diverter valve to the
plate heat exchanger to supply a nominal DHW draw-off of
HE24 9.6 l/min at 35
HE30 12 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
HE35 14.4 l/min at 35
The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that the boiler flow
regulator will give. Due to system variations and seasonal temperature
fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment

The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.
The manufacturer’s notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
IMPORTANT. These appliances are CE certificated for safety
and performance. It is, therefore, important that no external
control devices, e.g. flue dampers, economisers etc., are
directly connected to these appliances unless covered by these
Installation and Servicing Instructions or as otherwise
recommended by Ideal Stelrad Group in writing. If in doubt
please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by IdealStelrad Group could invalidate the certification and the normal
appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety
Regulations and the above regulations.
SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler or its
manufacture.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable
of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless
required by the local authority.
For electrical safety reasons there must be no access available
from the back of the boiler.
The boiler must not be fitted outside.
Timber Framed Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should
be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.
Bathroom Installations
This appliance is rated IP20.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current IEE (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room
or internal space containing a bath or shower. For IE reference
should be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical
installations and I.S. 813:2002.
If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or
shower then, providing water jets are not going to be used for
cleaning purposes (as in communal baths/showers), the
appliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.
Compartment Installations
A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided
that it is modified for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard /
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation,
are to conform to the following:
z BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see ‘Air
Supply’ for details).
z The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
7isar - Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
z For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should 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 supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a CORGI registered engineer. In IE by a competent person.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required.
N.B.The principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures that the isar
HE range is able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures
down to 14mb. However if dynamic pressures below 20mb are
experienced ensure this is adequate for ALL other gas
appliances in the property.
IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891. In
IE refer to IS.813:2002. Pipework from the meter to the boiler
MUST be of an adequate size, i.e. no longer than 20m and not
less than 15mm O.D.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.

Min. Spacing*
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where
this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2000.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to
obstructions and ventilation openings are specified in
Table 4.
4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m
(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then the terminal MUST be
protected by a purpose designed guard.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC flue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In
case of difficulty contact:
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to
prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the
boiler MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible
material. Detailed recommendations on the protection of
combustible material are given in BS. 5440-1:2000.
IMPORTANT. It is absolutely essential to ensure, in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural
air infiltration, or forced ventilation / air conditioning.
If this should occur the appliance MUST be turned OFF,
labelled as 'unsafe' until corrective action can be taken.
TERMINAL
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate
various wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 12 .
AIR SUPPLY
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which
the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of
the boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements
of BS 6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
IMPORTANT.
A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
systems, BS.5449.

GENERAL
BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Ideal Stelrad Group recommend that heating systems
utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control of
temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with
a room thermostat controlling the temperature in a space
served by radiators not fitted with such a valve as stated in
BS. 5449.
Central heating systems controls should be installed to
ensure the boiler is switched off when there is no demand
for heating or hot water.
When thermostatic radiator valves are used, the space
heating temperature control over a living / dining area or
hallway having a heating requirement of at least 10% of
the boiler heat output should be achieved using a room
thermostat, whilst other rooms are individually controlled
by thermostatic radiator valves. However, if the system
employs thermostatic radiator valves on all radiators, or
two port valves without end switches, then a bypass circuit
must be fitted with an automatic bypass valve to ensure a
flow of water should all valves be in the closed position.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - Central Heating
Notes
a. The method of filling, refilling, topping up or flushing sealed
primary hot water circuits from the mains via a temporary
hose connection is only allowed if acceptable to the local
water authority.
b. Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitable
for use with boilers having aluminium heat exchangers may
be used in the central heating system.
Advice should be sought from a local water treatment
company.
General
1. The installation must comply with all relevant national and
local regulations.
2. The installation should be designed to work with flow
temperatures of up to 82
3. All components of the system must be suitable for a working
pressure of 3 bar and temperature of 110

Guidance on vessel sizing is given in Frame 3.
5. Filling. The system may be filled by the following method:
a. Through a temporary hose connection from a 'draw-off'
tap, supplied from a service pipe under mains pressure.
Where the mains pressure is excessive a pressure
reducing valve must be used to facilitate filling.
When installing the filling device it must be connected as
shown below, to fully comply with the water regulations.
This may involve the fitting of an additional WRAS
approved isolator valve to the mains supply.
i. Thoroughly flush out the whole system with
cold water.
ii. Fill and vent the system until the pressure
gauge registers 1.5 bar and examine for leaks.
iii. Check the operation of the safety valve by
raising the water pressure until the valve lifts.
This should occur within 0.3 bar of the preset lift
pressure.
iv. Release water from the system until the
minimum system design pressure is reached;

SYSTEM BALANCING
The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some
radiators on the heating circuit, of load of at least 10% of the
minimum boiler output, must be provided with twin lockshield
valves so that this minimum heating load is always available.
See note regarding thermostatic radiator valves on page 10.
Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could
completely cut off the flow through the system must also
include a bypass.
BALANCING
1. Set the programmer to ON.
Close the manual or thermostatic valves on all radiators,
leaving the twin lockshield valves (on the radiators referred
to above) in the OPEN position.
5. Hard Water Areas
Where the water hardness exceeds 200mg/litre, it is
recommended that a proprietary scale reducing device is
fitted into the boiler cold supply within the requirements of
the local water company.
IMPORTANT
Provision MUST be made to accommodate the expansion of
DHW contained within the appliance, if a non-return valve is
fitted to the DHW inlet.
Turn up the room thermostat and adjust these lockshield
valves to give boiler flow and return temperatures not
more than 20 oC apart.
These valves should now be left as set.
2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves and
adjust the lockshield valves on the remaining radiators,

DOMESTIC HOT WATER
In hard water areas where main water can exceed 200ppm
Total Hardness (as defined by BS 7593:1993 Table 2) a
scale reducing device should be fitted into the boiler cold
supply within the requirements of the local water company.
The use of artificially softened water, however, is not
permitted.
Ideal Stelrad Group recommend the use of Fernox
Qantomat, GE Betz Sentinel Combiguard and Calmag
CalPhos I scale reducing devices, which must be used in
accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.

Notes.
1. It is most important that the correct concentration of the
water treatment products is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturers' instructions.
2. If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitable
additives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing. BS
7593:1992 details the steps necessary to clean a domestic
heating system.
3. In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may be
necessary - however the use of artificially softened water is
NOT permitted.
4. Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before
the system has been thoroughly flushed.

Notes.
1. When extension ‘D’ packs are used the flue duct MUST be
inclined at 1.5 degrees to the horizontal to allow condensate
to drain back into the boiler and out through the condensate
drain.
2. If the telescopic ‘B’ pack, or horizontal flue terminal (600 long)
only are used, they may be mounted horizontally. The 1.5
degrees is taken care of by the inclination of the flue within
the air pipe.
3. If the boiler is to be installed with upward piping routed
behind the boiler then the optional stand-off kit should be
used. Care must be taken when cutting the ducts and
marking the wall to suit this condition.

FITTING THE KIT
Because of the flexibility of the telescopic flue terminal it is not
always necessary to cut an extension pack.
1. Measure the total flue length from the centre of the boiler
outlet to the outside wall.
2. Subtract 70mm from this dimension.
3. Subtract 950mm for each ‘D’ pack to be used.
4. If the remainder Y is 300mm -
525mm this can be taken up
by the adjustment in the
telescopic flue.
5. If the remainder Y is 525mm 950mm it will be necessary to
cut a ‘D’ pack to 400mm.
70
Note. Side flue shown
6. if the remainder Y is less than 300mm, shorten the
previous ‘D’ pack to 400mm and adjust the telescopic
terminal.
7. Measure and mark the length on the flue, to ensure a
square cut mark the flue all the way around and cut to
length.

TO FIT THE PRE-PIPING FRAME DIRECTLY TO THE WALL
•Insert wall plugs.
•Put the screws into the wall plugs and leave 10mm proud
•Hang the frame onto the screws (take care to use the
same hole position from each group as previously chosen
with the wall template) and tighten up.
•Locate the support bracket on the piping frame.
TO FIT THE PRE-PIPING FRAME USING THE STAND-OFF FRAME
OPTION KIT (To allow pipework to be taken upwards)
•Put the screws into the wall plugs and leave 10mm proud.
•Hang the stand-off frame onto the screws and tighten up.
•Fasten the piping frame to the stand-off frame with the
6mm screws provided.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
Refer also to the British Gas document: 'Guidance Notes
for the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers'
(1989).
Before mounting the boiler on the wall, the condensate
drain (provided in the h/ware pack) must be connected
from the boiler ‘S’ trap to a drainage point, preferably
within the building.
Ensure that the condensate trap is full of water before
commissioning the boiler . Refer to Frame 26.
The routing of the drain must be made to allow a
minimum fall of 1 in 20 away from the boiler, throughout
its length.
The drainage pipework must be arranged so that
obstruction (e.g. through freezing) of external drainage
pipe does not give rise to spillage within the dwelling.
IMPORTANT.
If excessive external pipework cannot be avoided an
additional siphon kit and insulation are recommended to
prevent possible freezing.
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain system
must be made of plastic. No other materials may be
used.
The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mm
overflow pipe. This size must not be reduced in any part
of its length.
