GENERAL
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.
TTB DOWNDRAUGHT THERMOSTAT
This appliance is fitted with a TTB downdraught thermostat for
added safety and protection. If this thermostat should operate
and switch off the appliance it is because the flue is subject to
downdraught, probably as a result of adverse wind conditions .
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 in 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.
Table 3 - Air Supply
Boiler sizeCF455CF455CF465CF475
Effective567 293111
area cm
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 hydraulic resistance of the boiler at maximum output with 11 oC
o
(20
F) temperature differentials are shown in the following graph:
Water Flow Rate and Pressure Loss
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 1/2" BSP
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.
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 11 oC (20 oF)
Mexico Super CF445 - CF475 - Installation & Servicing
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
WARNING. The appliance MUST be efficiently earthed.
Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with the
current I.E.E. (BS 7671) Wiring Regulations and any local
regulations which apply. For Ireland reference should be made
to the current ETCI rules for electrical installations.
The boiler is supplied for 230 V ~ 50 Hz single phase.
Fuse rating is 3A.
Connection must be made in a way that allows complete
isolation of the electrical supply such as a double pole switch

boiler flow and return tappings according to the options
shown in Frame 11.
2. The boiler is assumed to be the highest point of the
circulating system.
3. The circulating pump is positioned on the FLOW - the
vertical distance, between the pump and feed / expansion
tank, must comply with the pump manufacturer's minimum
requirements, to avoid cavitation. Should these conditions
not apply, either lower the pump position or raise the feed/
expansion tank above the minimum requirements of
Caradon Ideal Limited.
4. The water velocity through the boiler flow / return pipes is
assumed to be below 1 m/s (3 ft./s.) whilst the pump flow
rate is set to provide a temperature difference of 11
across the boiler flow / return, at design input.
5. This information is intended as a GUlDE ONLY and cannot
take into account instantaneous changes in head caused

2. The schematic pipework graph is based on the
assumption that NO MORE than 8 elbows are used in
the gravity loop, including entry to the boiler.
3. For each extra elbow in excess of 8, (R) MUST be
reduced by 300 mm (12") or (H) increased by 100 mm
(4")
4. Whatever value is selected for (R), the value of (H) MUST
be at least that indicated by the graph
(R) = the horizontal distance between the centre
line of the cylinder and the boiler tappings
used - measured along the pipe run
(H) = the vertical distance between the top of the
boiler and the base of the cylinder
Notes.
a. Flow and return pipes should rise vertically
on leaving the boiler.
b. Horizontal pipes should be ABOVE ceiling
level and as short as possible.
c. A MINIMUM inclination of 25 mm per 3 m

FROST PROTECTION

or orange
b blue
gy grey

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.
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.
