GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
The Keston 30C boiler is a wall mounted, full sequence,
automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned flue, high
efficiency, condensing, combination gas boiler.
Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water
Note.
vapour will form at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of
6.1 to 24.2kW (20,700 to 82,600 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully
modulating with a maximum of 30.3kW (103,300 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat
exchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge,
safety valve and CH expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the
user control and the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler includes as standard:
-Automatic bypass
-Boiler frost protection
-Daily pump and diverter valve exercise.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel.
The boiler temperature controls are visible located in the
control panel on the front of the boiler.
The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed
heating 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.
OPERATION
SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives 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.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
•Grip the boiler at the base.
•Be physically capable.
•Use personal protective equipment as appropriate, e.g.
gloves, safety footwear.
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt
should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable
and/or the weight is light.
•Keep back straight.
•Avoid twisting at the waist.
•Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.
•Always grip with the palm of the hand.
•Use designated hand holds.
•Keep load as close to the body as possible.
•Always use assistance if required.
OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS
•Telescopic Concentric Flue B pack
•Electronic Timer (7 day) kit
•RF Electronic Programmable Room Thermostat kit
•Stand Off kit
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. This
only occurs if pre-heat knob is in the ‘ON’ period.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is
supplied at the selected temperature of between 30
80oC, 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 12.4 l/min at 35 oC
temperature rise.
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 at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limited

Installation and Servicing
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical internal 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 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
must be installed beyond Zone 2, 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:
•BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see ‘Air
Supply’ for details).
•The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
•For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 1. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
•The boiler must be installed on a fire resistant surface.

GENERAL
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 Gas Safe Registered Engineer. In IE by a Registered Gas
Installer (RGII).
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.
It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gas
Installer to size the gas installation pipework in accordance
with BS6891:2005. Whilst the principle of the 1:1 gas valve
ensures the Keston 30C is able to deliver its full output at inlet
pressures as low as 14mb, other gas appliances in the
property may not be as tolerant. When operating pressures are
found to be below the minimum meter outlet of 19mb these
should be checked to ensure this is adequate for correct and
safe operation.
Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across the
installation pipework, it can be assumed that a minimum
permitted operating pressure of 18mb will be delivered to the
inlet of the appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2
Pressure Absorption).
The integral appliance isolation valve and boiler pipework
could further reduce the operating pressure by up to 1.5mb
when measured at the inlet test point on the appliance gas
valve. Therefore it has been identified that an operating
pressure as low as 16.5mbar could be measured at the
appliance inlet pressure test point on the gas valve.
IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891. In
IE refer to IS.813:2002.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness
and purged as described in the above code.
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 minimum 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, 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.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
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 IE reference should be made to
the current ETCI rules for electrical installations.
The mains supply to the boiler and system wiring centre shall
be through one common fused double pole isolator and for
new heating systems, and where practical replacement boiler
installations, the isolator shall be situated adjacent to the
appliance.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
Refer to Frames 15, 25 & 48
A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain must
be connected to a drainage point on site. All pipework and
fittings in the condensate drainage system MUST be made of
plastic -
IMPORTANT.
Any external runs must be in accordance with BS 6798.
The drain outlet on the boiler is sized for standard 21.5mm (3/4”)
overflow pipe. It is a universal fitting to allow use of different
brands of pipework.
no other materials may be used.
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.
WATER TREATMENT - see Frame 5
BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Central heating systems controls should be installed to ensure
the boiler is switched off when there is no demand for heating,
in compliance with Building Regulations.
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.

a. Circulating pump.
b.Safety valve, with a non-adjustable preset lift pressure of 3 bar.
c. Pressure gauge, covering a range of 0 to 4 bar.
d.An 8-litre expansion vessel, with an initial charge pressure
of 0.75 bar.
4. '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 150mm above the highest point of the system and
be connected through a non-return valve to the system,
fitted at least 150mm below the 'make-up' vessel on the
return side of the radiators.
b.Where access to a 'make-up' vessel would be difficult, by
pre-pressurisation of the system.
The maximum cold water capacity of the system should
not exceed 143 litres, if not pressurized. However, if the
system is to be pressurized, the efficiency of the
expansion vessel will be reduced and a larger vessel
(or smaller system volume) may be necessary. If the
capacity of the vessel is not considered sufficient for
this, or for any other reason, an additional vessel
be installed on the RETURN to the boiler.

A 92.5º swept elbow is equivalent to 1.0m straight length. A 45º
bend is equivalent to 0.5m straight length.
It is possible to have variable flue and air lengths as detailed
below.
Fig. 2b
Maximum Combined Flue & Air Intake Lengths
Air Inlet21m
Flue Outlet21m
Total Flue & Air Intake22 m
(does not include allowance for elbow on top of boiler)
Example (assuming 50mm muPVC flue and air pipework)
Air inlet uses two 92.5º swept elbows. Hence, maximum length
permissible (i.e. a+b in fig. 2a) = 22m - 1m - 1m = 20m.
Flue outlet uses one 92.5º swept elbow. Hence, maximum
length permissible (i.e. c+d in fig. 2a)= 22m - 1m = 21m).
But maximum total flue and air intake must not exceed 19m in
the examples above.
Boiler Output Vs Flue Length
Due to the resistance presented by extended flue length a slight
reduction in maximum boiler output will occur where combined
flue and air lengths in excess of 16.0m (50mm muPVC) are
used. In such cases the boiler output will be reduced by 1.0%
per additional metre.
When the flue and air terminals are
located within 500mm of each other
ensure that the air terminal is
pointing towards the ground using
a 90º bend and one of the 100mm
sections of pipe provided within
pack 2a.

SLOPE
‘Horizontal’ flue outlet pipework MUST slope at least 2 degrees
(32mm per metre run) downwards towards the boiler. Pipework
can be vertical. Only swept elbows can be used.
Air inlet pipework can be truly horizontal or vertical, or sloping in
a downward direction towards the boiler but in each case rain,
etc., must be prevented from entering the pipe. There must be
no troughs in any of the pipework, whether it be air inlet or
flue outlet.
Due to the low temperature of the flue gases further
condensate will form within the flue system. Drain points, with
suitable traps, must therefore be incorporated within the flue
system at the base of the vertical flue sections in excess of 6m,
for 50mm muPVC pipe flue systems. These additional
condensate drains must be run to discharge. Such drain points
can be formed using standard muPVC fittings. Refer to fig. 3.

site conditions.
CLEARANCES FROM WALL
Flue outlet and air inlet terminations must be at least 40mm
from the wall face.
3G10028a
TERMINATIONS
Air inlet terminals must be facing horizontally or downwards to
prevent entry of rain into the terminal and positioned to ensure
only fresh air is drawn into the boiler. The air terminal must be
located outside of the building. Flue terminals must be
positioned so that flue products are not drawn into the air inlet.
Site specific wind conditions should be considered to achieve
this. Drawing of combustion air directly from a ventilated boiler
room invalidates the heat exchanger warranty.
The flue outlet terminal is designed to face outwards and must
not be directed in the region of the air inlet. The flue terminal
and air inlet terminal can be located on different, but not
opposing wall faces.
The two terminals are subject to the requirements of BS 5440
Pt 1 for clearances from features of the building although some
can be decreased to the values indicated.
The Keston 30C, as with any condensing boiler, will generate a
condensate “plume” from the flue terminal in all weather
conditions. Consideration must therefore be given to the effect
of this “plume” when selecting a location for the flue terminal. It
is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the selected
terminal location does not cause nuisance.
If either the air inlet or flue outlet terminate at a height of less
than 2.1m above ground level, the terminal must be protected
by a suitable guard. The K6 terminal guard (with plastic
coating), manufactured by Tower Flue Components Ltd is
suitable for this purpose.
FLUE OUTLET
DISTANCE BETWEEN FLUE OUTLET & AIR
INLET
There is no maximum - the terminations must not be on
opposite sides of the dwelling but can be in areas of unequal
pressure.
A minimum clearance of at least 500mm must be left between
the terminations otherwise a 90º elbow MUST be fitted to air
inlet and pointed towards the ground. The absolute minimum
clearance between the flue and air terminals is 100mm.
GENERAL INSTALLATIONS
All parts of the system must be constructed in accordance with
BS 5440 Part 1, except where specifically mentioned in these
instructions.
All pipework must be adequately supported.
All joints other than approved push-on or plastic compression
connectors must be made and sealed with solvent cement
suitable for muPVC pipes and conforming to BS 6209: 1982.
Consideration must be given to Corgi/Gas Safe bulletin TB200/
TB008 regarding flues in voids.
The boiler casing must always be correctly fitted to the boiler
when leaving the appliance operational.
External wall faces and any internal faces of cavity walls must
be good.
Rubber collars are available for flue and air terminals to finish
the external wall face around the terminals (Part No
C.08.00.07.0).
AIR SUPPLY
The Keston 30C is a room sealed appliance and therefore
does not require purpose provided ventilation to the boiler room
for combustion air.
COMPARTMENT INSTALLATION
Due to the low casing temperatures generated by the boiler, no
compartment ventilation is required. However, the cupboard or
compartment must not be used for storage.

10INSTALLING THE BOILER
Installation of the boiler is straightforward but consideration must be given to access to allow flue and air pipes to be pushed
through walls and ceilings. The order in which the components are installed will depend upon particular site conditions, but in
general it will be easiest and most accurate to install the boiler and then build up the flue outlet and air inlet pipes to the terminal
- this is the sequence described.

WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE
The wall mounting template is located on the internal
protective packaging.
Note.
The template shows the positions of the fixing holes and
the position that the twin flue box is located. Care MUST
be taken to ensure the correct holes are drilled.
1. Tape template into the selected position. Ensure
squareness by hanging a plumbline as shown.
2. Mark onto the wall the following:
a The wall mounting plate screw positions (choose one
from each group).
b The position of the air and flue when exiting straight out
of the wall where the boiler is mounted.

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 and air holes (preferably with 60mm core
bore tool) ensuring the holes are square to the wall.
2. Drill 2 holes with a 7.5mm / 8mm masonry drill and
insert the plastic plugs, provided, for the wall mounting
plate.
3. Locate 2 No.14 x 50mm screws in the wall mounting
plate (one at each side, in any of the 3 holes provided at
each side) and screw home.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
Ensure that the siphon 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.
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 and is suitable for either push fit or
solvent weld applications. This size must not be
reduced in any part of its length.
The boiler includes as standard, a 75mm condensate
trap. The condensate trap also includes a siphon to
reduce the possibility of freezing in the drain outlet.
If external condensate pipe is used then the pipe
should be 32mm nominal diameter. Consideration
should be given to insulating external condensate pipe
runs.

16 ASSEMBLY PRACTICE
INSTALLATION
Remove all plastic debris and burrs when installing air intake
piping. Plastic fillings caused by cutting muPVC pipe must not
be allowed to be drawn into the combustion air blower. Prevent
dust entering the air intake when cutting on building sites.
Blower failure which is determined to be caused by plastic
filings or other debris will not be covered by guarantee.
INSTALLING FLUE AND AIR PIPES ONTO
THE TWIN FLUE BOX
Important - When installing the boiler on an existing system a
new flue and air intake system MUST also be installed. You
MUST NOT re-use existing flue or air pipework components.
•Remove the twin flue box from Pack 2b supplied with
the boiler.
•Remove boiler front panel - Frame 45
•Position flue box on top of the boiler (see diagram)
•Clamp onto boiler using horseshoe clamp provided in
boiler packaging box.
•Fix box to the boiler top panel using 6 x M5 screws
provided.
•Measure, cut and check the air and flue pipes to pass to
the exit from the wall(s) or ceiling.
•Using the same methods drill any further holes (always
covering existing pipework), cut and assemble the
pipework.
•From outside, complete the two terminations - See
Frame 9 Flue System and make good all holes. (Wall
sealing collars are available to make good hole areas
on the wall face (part number C.08.0.00.07.0).
•Support any pipes whose route could be displaced
either of its own accord or by accident. Any horizontal
run over 1m or vertical runs of any length must always
be supported. Brackets should be placed at intervals
of approximately 1m. Brackets should be loose
enough on the pipe to allow thermal expansion and
contraction movement.
•Flue pipework through walls MUST be sleeved to allow
thermal expansion and contraction movement.
•Check all connections for security and re-seal any joints
using solvent cement where soundness may be in
doubt.
Note. It is equally important to seal the air inlet with solvent
cement as the flue outlet pipe joints.
INSTALLATION
•Always thoroughly deburr all pipes and most
important, remove shavings from within the pipe.
•Assemble, using solvent weld cement, the pipework
from the boiler connections to the exit from the first wall/
ceiling, (remount the boiler if removed). When pushing
pipe through walls, ensure grit and dust is not allowed
to enter the pipe.
Ensure pipes are fully engaged into sockets and
solvent welded with no leaks.

REPLACING PRE-FITTED MAINS CABLE
If it is necessary to use an alternative mains cable to the one pre-fitted then use the following guide.
Replacement wiring should comply with notes in Frame 31.
1. Isolate the mains supply to the boiler.
2. Remove the front panel. Refer to Frame 44.
3. Swing the control box down into the service position. Refer to
frame 50.
4. Remove the live, neutral and earth wires from the terminal block.
5. Loosen the cable clamp and withdraw the mains cable.
6. Route replacement cable back through the cable clamp and
grommet and re-tighten to provide cord anchorage.
7. Connect the live, neutral and earth wires to the terminal strip.
When making the mains electrical connections to the boiler it is
important that the wires are prepared in such a way that the
earth conductor is longer than the current carrying conductors,
such that if the cord anchorage should slip, the current carrying
conductors become taut before the earthing conductor.
8. Swing the control box back up into the operating position and
re-fit the front panel ensuring a good seal is made.

FITTING THE WEATHER COMPENSATION KIT - SUPPLIED AS STANDARD
This kit provides the facility to apply outside air temperature control to the boiler water flow temperature which provides
energy savings. The outside sensor provided measures outside air temperature and sends a signal to the boiler, which
adjusts the maximum boiler flow temperature in response. If outside air temperature is greater than the system design
temperature, the boiler flow temperature is reduced providing running cost savings. The boiler will operate in the
condensing mode more frequently increasing savings.
Once the sensor is fitted it is automatically detected.
The sensor operation may be configured by adjustment of the boiler operating parameters, if necessary.

CH OPERATION
The On and Off time control of central heating should be controlled by a separate timer. This can be a standard unit or either
of the options available from Keston 30C range.
During programmed On times the Central Heating Radiator Flow Temperature is controlled by the boiler relative to the
Outside Temperature as shown in the following diagram.
INSTALLATION
The Room temperature can be adjusted using the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob on the boiler as follows.
Essentially rotating the knob clockwise increases the room temperature and rotating the knob anti-clockwise decreases the
room temperature.
If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is rotated fully clockwise then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C a Flow
Temperature of 40°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 78°C will be provided with
the relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph 2.5)
If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is in its mid position then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C a Flow
Temperature of 36°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 65°C will be provided with
the relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph between 1.6 and 1.8)
If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is rotated fully anti-clockwise then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C a
Flow Temperature of 30°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 44°C will be provided
with the relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph 1.0)

HANDING OVER
After completing the installation and commissioning of the system the installer should hand over to the householder by
the following actions:
1. Make the householder aware that the user instructions
are located in the pocket in the drop down door and
explain his/her responsibilities under the relevant
national regulations.
2. Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting
down procedures.
3. The operation of the boiler and the use and adjustment
of all system controls should be fully explained to the
householder, to ensure the greatest possible fuel
economy consistent with the household requirements
of both heating and hot water consumption.
Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent
damage to the system and to the building, in the event
of the system remaining inoperative during frosty
conditions.
4. Explain the function and the use of the boiler heating
and domestic hot water controls.
Explain that due to system variations and seasonal
temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature
rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap. It
is therefore necessary to draw the users attention to the
section in the Users Instructions titled “Control of Water
Temperature” and the following statement:
“Additionally, the temperature can be controlled by
the user via the draw-off tap: the lower the rate the
higher the temperature, and vice versa”.
5. Explain the function of the boiler fault mode.
Emphasise that if a fault is indicated, the boiler should
be turned off and a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
consulted. In IE contact a Registered Gas Installer
(RGII).
6. Explain and demonstrate the function of time and
temperature controls, radiator valves etc., for the
economic use of the system.
7. If a timer is fitted draw attention to the timer Users
Instructions and hand them to the householder.
8. Loss of system water pressure
Explain that the dial underneath the boiler indicates the
central heating system pressure and that if the normal
COLD pressure of the system is seen to decrease over a
period of time then a water leak is indicated. Explain the repressurising procedure and if unable to re-pressurise or if
the pressure continues to drop a registered local heating
installer should be consulted.
9. Explain boiler reset procedure (refer to Frame 41B).
10. After installation and commissioning please complete the
Commissioning Checklist before
handover to the customer. For IE, its is necessary to
complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to indicate
compliance to I.S. 813:2002.
IMPORTANT
11. A comprehensive service should be carried out ANNUALLY.
Stress the importance of regular servicing by a Gas Safe
Registered Engineer. In IE servicing work must be carried
out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGII).
