GENERAL
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 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 Ireland
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.
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 icos
HE range is able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures
down to 14mb. However if dynamic pressures below 20mb are
8
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 I.S.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.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions which
would 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 3.

Min. Spacing*
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.
Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. Ask for
TFC Flue Guard Model No. K6 (round plastic-coated). In
case of difficulty contact:

Tower House, Vale Rise Fax. +44(0) 01732 354 445
Tonbridge. kent TN9 1TB www.ffc.ukco.com
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to
prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.
icos - Installation & Servicing
GENERAL
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. In IE
refer to I.S.813:2002.
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 14.
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. In IE the
requirements of I.S.813:2002 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.
For the types of system and correct piping procedure see
Frames 1, and 3 to 8.
The central heating system should be in accordance with
BS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore
systems, BS.5449.
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 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.
The boiler must be vented.
The hydraulic resistance of the boilers, at MAXIMUM OUTPUT,
with an 11
Graph 1.
o
C (20 oF) temperature differential, is shown in
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.
WATER TREATMENT - see Frame 9
The hot water storage cylinder MUST be of the indirect type and
should preferably be manufactured of copper.

WARNING.
This appliance must be 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 point of connection to the mains should be readily
accessible and adjacent to the boiler.
NOTE: THE FAN VOLTAGE IS 325V DC
CONDENSATE DRAIN - Refer to Frames 23 & 49
A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain must be
connected to a drainage point. All pipework and fittings in the
condensate drainage system MUST be made of plastic - no
other materials may be used.
IMPORTANT.

OPEN VENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
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 150mm (6") away from the vent connection.
Note. Combined feed and vent pipes may also be fitted.
There should be a minimum height 450mm (18") of open vent
above the cistern water level. If this is not possible refer to
Frame 5. 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"). The pump must be fitted on the flow side of
the boiler.
A suitable pump is a domestic circulator capable of providing a
maximum 11
whole of the heating circuit open (e.g. Grundfos UPS 15/50, 15/60 or
equivalent). With the minimum flow circuit allowed by the controls the
differential must not exceed 25 oC. (18oC for the HE15)
The vertical distance between the pump and feed/expansion cistern
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 cistern above the minimum requirement
specified by Ideal Stelrad Group. The isolation valves should be fitted
as close to the pump as possible.

SCHEMATIC PIPEWORK AND SYSTEM BALANCING
The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some
radiators on the heating circuit, of load 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 footnote re. thermostatic radiator valves).
Balancing
1. Set the programmer to ON for both CH
and HW. Turn the cylinder thermostat
down. Close the manual or thermostatic
valves on all radiators, leaving the twin
lockshield valves (on the radiators
referred to above) in the open position.
Turn up the room thermostat and adjust
these lockshield valves to give boiler flow
and return temperatures not more than
o
C apart. These valves should now be
20
left as set.
2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator
valves and adjust the lockshield valves
on remaining radiators to give around
o
11
C temperature drop at each radiator.
3. Turn up the cylinder thermostat and
adjust the cylinder balancing valve so
that the cylinder achieves a maximum
flow consistent with adequate flow to the
radiators. Check that with only the
domestic hot water loop in circuit a
differential temperature of 20
the boiler is not exceeded.
4. Adjust room and cylinder thermostats
and programmer to NORMAL settings.

LOW HEAD AND LARGE SYSTEMS WITH EXTENSIVE PIPE RUNS - OPEN VENT
This arrangement is useful for large systems where
radiators at the extremities are difficult to vent. This can
lead to pumping over with conventional feed and vent
arrangements.
The following conditions MUST be observed:
1. The top of the automatic air vent must be below the
cold water level.
2. The static water level (cold) must be at least 200mm
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.
3. The maximum practical length of 22mm cold feed pipe
should be used in order to reduce the effective volume
of hot system water expanding into the feed/expansion
cistern to a minimum.
All dimensions in mm (in.).
Note. The pump manufacturers' minimum requirements must be complied with.
NB. Imperial dimensions are approximate

2
)
The valve or discharge pipe should be positioned so
that the discharge of water or steam cannot create a
hazard to the occupants of the premises or cause
damage to electrical components and wiring.
3. Pressure Gauge
A pressure gauge covering at least the range 0-4 bar
(0-60 lb/in
2
) must be fitted to the system. The gauge
should be easily seen from the filling point and should
preferably be connected at the same point as the
expansion vessel.

SEALED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - continued
4. Expansion Vessel
a. A diaphragm type expansion vessel must be
connected to a point close to the inlet side of the
pump, the connecting pipe being not less than 15 mm
1/2" nominal) size and not incorporating valves of
(
any sort.
b. The vessel capacity must be adequate to accept the
expansion of the system water when heated to
o
110
C (230oF).
c. The charge pressure must not be less than the
static water head above the vessel. The pressure
attained in the system when heated to 110
F) should be at least 0.35 bar (5 Ib/in2) less than the
lift pressure of the safety valve.
For guidance on vessel sizing refer to the table in
Frame 8.
For further details refer to BS. 5449, BS. 7074:1 and
the British Gas Corporation publication 'Material and
Installation Specifications for Domestic Central
Heating and Hot Water'. For IE refer to the current
edition of I.S.813.
5. Cylinder
The cylinder must be either of the indirect coil type or a
direct cylinder fitted with an immersion calorifier which is
suitable for operating on a gauge pressure of 0.35 bar
2
(5 Ib/in
) in excess of the safety valve setting. Single feed
indirect cylinders are not suitable for sealed systems.
6. Make-up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water loss from the
system, either:
a. From a manually filled make-up vessel with a readily
visible water level. The vessel should be mounted at
least 150 mm (6") above the highest point of the
system, and be connected through a non-return valve
to the system, fitted at least 300 mm (12") below the
make-up vessel on the return side of the domestic
hot water cylinder or radiators.
or
b. Where access to a make-up vessel would be difficult
by pre-pressurisation of the system. Refer to 'Filling',
below.
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
o
C (230
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
o
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
2
).
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
2.
) of the
preset 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.
• Adjust the initial pressure to the required value.
Sizing procedure for expansion vessels: The volume of the expansion vessel (litres) fitted to a sealed system shall not be
less than that given by the table on the following page, multiplied by a factor of 0.8 (for flow temperatures of less than 83
C).
