INTRODUCTION
The Mexico Super CF range is of floor standing, natural draught,
open flue gas boilers. They are rated to provide central heating
outputs of 27.8kW (95,000 Btu/h) to 41.0 kW (140,000 Btu/h).
The boiler has a cast iron heat exchanger and is supplied fully
assembled, complete with a white enamelled mild steel casing.
The boilers are suitable, as standard, for connection to openvented systems ONLY. An overheat thermostat kit is available to
allow the boiler to be used on sealed water systems.
The systems may be:
•pumped or gravity circulating indirect DHW only.
•pumped central heating only.
•pumped central heating combined with either a pumped or
gravity circulating indirect DHW circuit.
This boiler will require 2 operatives or more to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing
and pulling. The use of 1" pipe stubs of suitable lengths may be
temporarily screwed into the boiler tappings to act as handles.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
For GB, to comply with Building Regulations Part L1 (Part J in Scotland) the boiler should be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Self-certification that the boiler has been installed to comply with Building Regulations can be
demonstrated by completing and signing the Benchmark log book.

GENERAL
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.
FLUE INSTALLATION
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 cross-sectional area of the flue, serving the boiler, MUST
NOT be less than the area of the flue outlet of the boiler.
If flue pipe is to be used it MUST NOT be less than the
diameter of the flue outlet connection on the boiler.
2. Flue pipes and fittings should be constructed from one of the
following materials:
a. Aluminium or stainless steel.
b. Cast iron, coated on the inside with acid resistant vitreous
enamel.
c. Other approved material.
3. If twin walled flue pipe is used it should be of a type
acceptable to British Gas.
4. If a chimney is to be used it should preferably be one that is
composed of, or lined with, a non-porous acid resistant
material.
Notes.
Chimneys lined with salt -glazed earthenware pipes are
acceptable if the pipes comply with BS.65 and BS.5440:1.
A flue pipe constructed from one of the materials listed in
2 a-c should form the initial connection to the lined chimneys.
Where a chimney is to be used that is not composed of, or
lined with, a non-porous, acid resistant material it should be
lined with a stainless steel flexible flue liner which complies
with BS.715.
5. Before connecting the boiler to, or inserting a liner into, a flue
that has been previously used then the flue MUST be
thoroughly swept clean of any soot or loose material. If a
register plate, restrictor plate or damper etc., is fitted in the
flue then it MUST be removed before connecting the boiler to,
or inserting a liner into, the flue.
6. The flue should terminate in accordance with the relevant
recommendations given in BS.5440-1:2000. In IE refer to
I.S.813:2002.
7. The flue MUST be fitted with a terminal (or ridge tile up to 5"
flue diameter). The terminal shall be of a type which has
been tested and found satisfactory by British Gas. This
terminal must NOT be installed within 600mm (24") of an
opening window, air vent or any other ventilation opening.
8. The chimney / flue lining MUST be sealed at both the top and
the bottom.
IMPORTANT. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice,
that the flue discharge is in a downdraught- free zone and that
products of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot reenter the building or any other adjacent building through
ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air
infiltration or forced ventilation / air conditioning systems.
The TTB is an automatic device which will reset once the wind
conditions have returned to normal, subject to a built-in reset
delay in excess of 10 minutes
The TTB is an important safety device and must not be put out of
action or interfered with in any way.
This device is not a substitute for an independently mounted
carbon monoxide detector.
In cases of repeated or continuous shutdown a competent
person should be called to investigate and rectify the condition
causing this and carry out an operational test after each
intervention on the device. Only the manufacturer's original parts
should be used for replacement.
AIR SUPPLY
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS.5440:2. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002. The following notes are
for general guidance:
1. The room or internal space in which the boiler is installed
MUST have, or be provided with, a permanent air vent. This
vent MUST be either direct to outside air or to an adjacent
room or internal space which must itself have, or be provided
with, a permanent air vent at least the same size direct to
outside air.
The minimum effective area of the permanent air vent(s) are
specified in Table 3 and are related to maximum rated heat
input of the boiler.

The air vent(s) must NOT have provision for closing or
adjustment and should be sited to avoid risk of accidental
damage or blockage.
If other methods of ventilation are envisaged, British Gas
should be consulted before proceeding.
2. If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment,
permanent air vents are required (for combustion, flue
dilution and cooling purposes) in the cupboard /
compartment, at both high and low levels to ensure safe and
efficient combustion and ventilation.
The air vents may either communicate with room/internal
space (appropriately ventilated) or be direct to outside air.
The minimum effective areas of the permanent air vents,
required in the cupboard / compartment, are specified in
Table 4 and are related to maximum rated heat input of the
boiler.

Notes.
a. Both air vents MUST communicate with the same room or
internal space or MUST be on the same wall to outside air.
b. In siting the air vents care must be taken to avoid the
freezing of pipework.
c. Where cupboard / compartment air vents are open to a room
or internal space, the room or internal space MUST itself be
provided with a permanent air vent, as previously specified.
d. The cupboard / compartment air vents must NOT
communicate with a bedroom, bed-sitting room or a room
containing a bath or shower.
EFFECT OF AN EXTRACTOR FAN
If there is any type of extractor fan fitted in the premises there is
a possibility that, if an adequate air inlet area from outside is not
provided, spillage of the boiler flue products could occur when
the fan is in operation. Where such installations occur a
spillage test, as detailed in BS.5440-1:2000, MUST be carried
out and any necessary action taken.
VENTILATION IN SERIES
In installations requiring 2 ventilators to be fitted in series, e.g.
across a cavity wall, EACH ventilator should be sized in
accordance with the above data. Where there are more than 2
ventilators in series, EACH should have an area of 50% in
excess of the value quoted above.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The boiler is suitable for connection to pumped open vent
central heating systems, pumped central heating combined with
pumped or gravity indirect domestic hot water supply systems
and gravity or pumped indirect domestic hot water supply
systems.
The boiler is NOT suitable for gravity heating systems.

The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS. 6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
systems, BS. 5449:1.
The domestic hot water system, if applicable, should be in
accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS. 5546.
Copper tubing to BS. 2871:1 is recommended for water carrying
pipework.
The hot water storage cylinder MUST be of the indirect type and
should preferably be manufactured of copper.
Single feed, indirect cylinders are not recommended.
The hot water cylinder and ancillary pipework not forming part of
the useful heating surface should be lagged to prevent heat loss
and any possible freezing - particularly where pipes run through
roof spaces and ventilated underfloor spaces.
IMPORTANT
A minimum length of 2 metres of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
The boiler must be vented. If venting cannot be done via a flow
connection a separate vent MUST be fitted by the installer.
Draining taps MUST be located in accessible positions, which
permit the draining of the whole system, including the boiler and
hot water storage vessel. They should be at least
nominal size and be in accordance with BS. 2879.
If required, a drain tap (not supplied) may be fitted to an unused
bottom (1" BSP) tapping on the front of the boiler.
1/2" BSP
BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Caradon Ideal Limited 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.
Dotted lines indicate flow rates equivalent to a
temperature rise of 11oC (20oF)

7. Mains Connection
There must be no direct connection to the mains water
supply or to the water storage tank supplying domestic
water, even through a non-return valve, without the approval
of the local water authority.
8. Filling
The system may be filled by one of the following methods:
a. Through a cistern, used for no other purposes, via a
ball valve permanently connected directly to a service
pipe and / or a cold water distributing pipe.
The static head available from the cistern should be
adequate to provide the desired initial system design
pressure. The cold feed pipe from the cistern should
include a non-return valve and a stop valve with an
automatic air vent connected between them, the stop
valve being located between the system and the
automatic air vent. The stop valve may remain open
during normal operation of the system if automatic
water make-up is required.
b. Through a self-contained unit comprising a cistern,
pressure booster pump (if required) and, if
necessary, an automatic pressure reducing valve and
flow restrictor. The cistern should be supplied through
a temporary connection from a service pipe or cold
water distributing pipe.
This unit may remain permanently connected to the
heating system to provide limited automatic water
make-up. Where the temporary connection is
supplied from a service pipe or distributing pipe
which also supplies other draw-off points at a lower
level then a double check valve shall be installed
upstream of the draw-off point.
c. 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
shall be used to facilitate filling.
The following fittings shall form a permanent part of the
system and shall be fitted in the order stated:
A stop valve complying with the requirements of
BS. 1010, Part 2 (the hose from the draw-off tap shall be
connected to this fitting).
A test cock.
A double check valve of an approved type.
• Thoroughly flush out the whole of the system with cold
water, without the pump in position.
• With the pump fitted, fill and vent the system until the
pressure gauge registers 1.5 bar (21.5lb/in
Examine for leaks.
• Check the operation of the safety valve by manually
raising the water pressure until the valve lifts. This
should occur within ± 0.3 bar (± 4.3lb/in
lift pressure.
• Release water from the system until the initial system
design pressure is reached.
• Light the boiler and heat the system to the maximum
working temperature. Examine for leaks.
• Turn off the boiler and drain the system while still hot.
• Refill and vent the system.

FROST PROTECTION
Central heating systems fitted wholly inside the house do
not normally require frost protection as the house acts as
a 'storage heater' and can normally be left at least 24 hrs.
without frost damage. However, if parts of the pipework
run outside the house or if the boiler will be left off for
more than a day or so then a frost 'stat should be wired
into the system.
This is usually done at the programmer, in which case the
programme selector switches are set to OFF and all other
controls MUST be left in the running position.
The frost 'stat should be sited in a cold place but where it
can sense heat from the system.
Wiring should be as shown, with minimal disturbance to
other wiring of the programmer.
Designation of the terminals will vary, but the programmer
and thermostat manufacturers' leaflets will give full details.
18
Diagram A shows a double pole frost thermostat, which should suffice
for all systems which do not use the OFF terminals of the programmer.
Diagram B shows a 'change-over' frost thermostat, which will cover
most systems which do use CH OFF. If, however, on such a system the
HW pipework is in an isolated part of the house, a second frost thermostat
may be used to protect it.
If in doubt, ask your installer for advice.
