The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.

INTRODUCTION - GAS SUPPLY

Manufacturer's notes must NOT be taken in any way as overriding statutory obligations.

IMPORTANT. These appliances are certificated by the British Standards Institution 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 otherwise recommended by Caradon Heating Ltd, in writing. If in doubt please enquire.

Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by Caradon Heating Ltd., could invalidate the B.S.I. Certification and the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety Regulations and the above Regulations.

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. THE BOILER IS NOT SUITA-BLE FOR EXTERNAL INSTALLATION.

IMPORTANT NOTICE. If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be fitted in accordance with the British Gas publication 'Guide for Gas Installations in Timber Frame Housing', Reference DM2. If in doubt advice must be sought from the Local Gas Region of British Gas.

The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. 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.

Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower then the appliance and any electrical switch or appliance control utilising mains electricity should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.

Where installation will be in an unusual location, special procedures may be necessary and BS. 6798 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.

A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be designed and constructed specially for this purpose. An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided it is modified for the purpose. Details of essential features of cupboards / compartment design, including airing cupboard installation are given in BS. 6798. In siting the boiler, the following limitations MUST be observed:

  • 1. The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate space for servicing in front of the boiler and for air circulation around the boiler. For the minimum clearances required for safety and subsequent service, see the Wall Mounting Template, Frame 7 and Frame 8. In addition sufficient space may be required to allow lifting access on to the wall mounting plate.
  • 2. This position MUST also permit the provision of a satisfactory balanced flue termination.

GAS SUPPLY

The Local Gas Region 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 Region.

A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas Region or by a Local Region Contractor.

Page 4

An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the Gas Region, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply required.

Installation pipes MUST be fitted in accordance with BS. 6891. Pipework from the meter to the boiler MUST be of an adequate size. Do NOT use pipes of smaller size than the boiler inlet gas connection.

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.

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.
  • Minimum acceptable spacings from the terminal to obstructions & ventilation openings are specified in Table 3.
  • 4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2 m (6.6 ft.) 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:

Quinnel, Barret & Quinnel Ltd., 884 Old Kent Road, London, SE 15 (Model 304),

Telephone No. 071 6391357.

and from,

Tower Flue Components Ltd.,

Vale Rise, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1TB (Model K1),

Telephone No. 0732 351 555

Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.

  • 5. Where the terminal is fitted within 850 mm (34 in.) of a plastic or painted gutter or 450 mm (18 in.) of painted eaves then an aluminium shield at least 750 mm (30 in.) long should be fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted surface.
  • 6. The air inlet/ products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler MUST NOT be closer than 25 mm (1 in.) to combustible material. Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible material are given in BS. 5440:1 1990.
  • 7. If the terminal is fitted less 2 m (6 ft. 6 in.) above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof then the minimum spacing in Table 3 No.s 2, 3, 5 and 6 would be 75 mm in order to allow a terminal guard to be fitted.
  • 8. Where it is essential that the terminal wall plate is fitted, i.e. wall thicknesses over 610 mm (24 in.) or with an inaccurately cut hole, the minimum spacing in Table 3 No.s 2, 3, 5 and 6 would be 60 mm in order to allow the terminal wall plate to be fitted.

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 immediately and the Local Gas Region consulted.

TERMINAL

The terminal assembly can be adapted to accomodate various wall thicknesses, refer to Frame 1 'Unpacking'.

AIR SUPPLY

Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in BS. 5440:2. The following notes are for general guidance:

  • 1. It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler is installed.
  • 2. If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment, permanent air vents are required (for cooling purposes) in the cupboard/ compartment, at both high and low levels. The air vents must either communicate with room/internal space, or be direct to outside air. The minimum effective areas of the permanent air vents, required in the cupboard/ compartment, are specified as follows and are related to maximum rated heat input.
  • 3. Both air vents MUST communicate with the same room or internal space, or MUST be on the same wall to outside air.
  • 4. In siting the air vents care must be taken to avoid the freezing of pipework.

Refer to Tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for details of the air vent position and sizing.

WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM

The boiler must NOT be used for direct hot water supply. For the types of system and correct piping procedure - see 'Introduction' and Frame 3.

The central heating system should be in accordance with BS. 6798 and in addition, for Smallbore and Microbore systems, BS. 5449.

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 and MUST NOT be used on sealed systems.

The appliances are NOT suitable for gravity central heating, nor are they suitable for the provision of gravity domestic hot water.

The hot water cylinder & ancillary pipework, not forming part of the useful heating surface, should be lagged to prevent

AIR SUPPLY - ELECTRICALSUPPLY

heat loss & any possible freezing - particularly where pipes run through roof spaces and ventilated under floor spaces. The boiler must be vented.

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 in. BSP nominal size & be in accordance with BS. 2879.

The boiler is fitted with a special drain plug which is provided to drain the BOILER ONLY in the event of the system drain plug being unable to do so. The hydraulic resistances of the boilers, at MAXIMUM OUTPUT with an 11°C (20°F) temperature differential, are shown in Table 10.

THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES

Caradon Heating Ltd. 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.

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, then a by-pass must be fitted in order to ensure a flow of water should all the T.R.V.s be in the closed position.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and any Local Regulations which apply.

The boiler is supplied for 240 V ~ 50 Hz

Single Phase

Fuse Rating is 3 A

The method of connection to the mains electricity supply MUST facilitate complete electrical isolation of the boiler, preferably by the use of a fused, unswitched three pin plug and a shuttered socket outlet, both complying with the requirements of BS. 1363.

Alternatively, a fused double pole switch, having at least a 3 mm (1/8 in.) contact separation in both poles and servicing only the boiler, may be used.

The point of connection to the mains should be readily accessible and adjacent to the boiler, except that for bathroom installations; the point of connection to the mains MUST be situated outside of the bathroom.

Note. Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower then the appliance and any electrical switch or apppliance control utilising mains electricity should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.

BOILER ASSEMBLY - SYSTEM DESIGN

Page 8

SYSTEM DESIGN - BOILER DIMENSIONS

5 OPEN VENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. Fully pumped.

The system should be vented directly off the boiler flow pipe, as close to the boiler as possible. The cold feed entry should be inverted and MUST be positioned between the pump and the vent, and not more than 150 mm (6 in.) away from the vent connection.

There should be a minimum height - 450 mm (18 in.) of open vent above cistern water level. If this is impossible refer below.

The vertical distance between the highest point of the system and the feed/expansion cistern water level MUST not be less than 450 mm (18 in.).

The pump MUST be fitted on the flow side of the boiler.

A suitable pump is a domestic circulator capable of providing an 11°C (20°F) temperature differential (e.g. Grundfos UPS 15 /50 or equivalent). The vertical distance between the pump and feed / expansion cistern MUST ccomply with the pump manufacturers minimum requirements to avoid cavitation. Should these conditions not apply, either lower the pump position or raise the cistern above the minimum requirement specified by Caradon Heating Ltd. Note: A cold water feed must be available back to the boiler, when all automatic valves are in the closed position (Refer BS. 6798) and when close coupled the feed must not be in a verical leg.

6 LOW HEAD INSTALLATIONS

The Ideal Classic range of boilers can be installed in low head situations by fitting a 'surge arrester' in the expansion pipe - as shown.

The following conditions MUST be observed;

  • The surge arrester must be at least 42 mm in diameter x 150 mm long, thus ensuring a MINIMUM air gap and a MINIMUM depth of water below the static water level (cold) of 75 mm.
  • The static water level (cold) must be at least 200 mm above the top of the horizontal flow pipe, fitted as shown. The vent connection MUST NOT be made immediately off the top of the boiler, as venting is made less efficient.
  • The maximum practical length of 15 mm cold feed pipe should be used in order to reduce the effective volume of system water expanding into the feed / expansion cistern to a minimum.

Page 9

B BOILER CLEARANCES

The following minimum clearances must be maintained for operation and servicing.

Additional space will be required for installation, depending upon site conditions..

Side flue only

(a) Provided that the flue hole is cut accurately, eg. with a core drill, the flue can be installed from inside up to 610 mm (24 in.), but with flue lengths greater than the width / depth of the boiler then the space in which the boiler is to be installed must be at least equal to the flue length plus the length of the terminal grille.

Installation from inside ONLY

  • (b) If a core boring tool is to be used inside the building; the space in which the boiler is to be installed must be at least wide enough to accommodate the tool.
  • (c) If using the Complete Sealed System Module then refer to the instructions packed with the module for the necessary clearances.

Front clearance: 450 mm (17 3/4 in.) from the front of the boiler casing.

11 WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE

  • 1. Discard both sections 'B' of the template.
  • 2. Tape the template into the selected position.
  • 3. Ensure squareness by hanging a plumb line as shown.
  • 4. Mark onto the wall the 4 mounting plate screw positions and the lower fixing screw positions.
  • 5. Mark onto the wall the position of the flue duct. Note. Mark the centre of the hole as well as the circumference
  • 6. Remove the template from the wall.

12 PREPARING THE WALL

IMPORTANT. Ensure that, during the cutting operation, masonry falling outside of the building does not cause damage or personal injury.

  • 1. Cut the flue hole (preferably with a 5 in. core boring tool) ensuring that the hole is square to the wall. If the hole has been quite accurately cut with a drill, then making good the wall faces is not essential- as seals are provided at both ends of the flue. However, both wall faces immediately around the cut hole should be flat; make good if necessary. For less accurate holes make good to approximately 125 mm diameter at the two wall faces. If the flue hole is longer than 610 mm this must be done from the outside for the outer face, as access to outside is needed to fit the terminal plate anyway.
  • 2. Measure and note the wall thickness 'X'.
  • 3. Drill the 4 fixing holes with an 8 mm (5/16 in.) masonry drill.
  • 4. Drill the jacking plate fixing screw hole with an 8 mm (5/16 in.) masonry drill.
  • 5. Insert the plastic plugs provided.

FLUE ASSEMBLY - PREPARING THE WALL

21 WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE

  • 1. Separate the templates.
  • 2. Tape both templates into the selected position locating template 'B' via an extended centre line as shown.
  • 3. Ensure squareness by hanging a plumbline as shown.
  • Mark onto the wall the mounting plate screw positions (choose 1 from each group) and lower fixing screw position.
  • 5. Mark onto the wall the 4 terminal mounting plate screw positions.
  • Mark onto the wall the position of the flue duct hole. Note. Mark the centre of the hole as well as the circumference.
  • 7. Remove both templates from the wall.

22 PREPARING THE WALL

IMPORTANT. Ensure that, during the cutting operation, masonry falling outside of the building does not cause damage or personal injury.

  • Cut the flue hole (preferably using a 5 in. core boring tool), ensuring that the hole is square to the wall. If the hole has been quite accurately cut with a drill then making good the wall faces is not essential as seals are provided at both ends of the flue. However, both wall faces immediately around the cut hole should be flat; make good if necessary. For less accurate holes make good to approximately 125 mm diameter at the two wall faces. For holes longer than 610 mm this must be done from outside for the outer face as access to outside is needed to fit the terminal wall plate anyway.
  • Measure the wall thickness 'X' and calculate dimension 'Y' (i.e. Boiler spacing plus 'X'). Refer to Frame 9.
  • 3. Drill the 4 wall plate holes and the remaining 5 holes with an 8 mm (5/16 in.) masonry drill and insert the plastic plugs provided.
  • 4. Locate 2 No. 10 x 2 in. screws in the terminal mounting plate top fixing holes and screw home to within 6 mm (1/4 in.) of the wall surface. Note. If the terminal is to be sited 25 to 40 mm from a corner or vertical pipe (refer to Table 3) the hole must be accurately cut and the rubber weather seal trimmed around the groove provided. The terminal wall plate need not be fitted.
