• Make sure the boiler and any open connections are

protected from building dust etc. during the installation.

• There must be a 3 amp fused switched spur within 1m of

the boiler.

• Provision must be made for the condensate discharge.

2.3 Water-side connections

2.3.1 Water flow

An internal automatic flow by-pass is supplied in the Avanta
Plus to ensure correct operation on systems fitted with TRV’s
on all heat emitters. The ‘abc
perature difference across the flow and return connections and
the rate of temperature rise and will automatically regulate the
boiler output to ensure that it remains operational for as long
as possible without the need to ‘lock out’ requiring a manual
re-set.

2.3.2 Circulation pumps

The Remeha Avanta Plus 18s, 24s, 30s, 24c and 28c are fitted
with the Grundfos UPR 15-60 and the Avanta Plus 35c and
39c with the UPR 15-70, two-speed circulation pumps. The
control unit ensures that when the hot-water function is active,
the pump runs at ‘high’. The factory setting of the pump for CH
function is ‘low.’ If necessary, the service installer can adjust
this to ‘high’ by switching parameter 21 (from 0 to 1) see
par. 2.9.8.

2.3.3 Additional guidelines for the domestic and CH
water

• The system should be filled with mains cold water (for the

UK this will usually have a pH of between 7 and 8).

• Flush the pipes and radiators thoroughly to remove all fluxes

and debris before connecting the boiler to the central heat­ing system.



• The temperature of the central heating pipes and the

radiators can rise to 95°C.

• Use untreated tap water only to fill the CH system.

• The pH value of the system water must be between 6 and 9

• In case inhibitors are being used, please follow the

instructions given in par. 2.3.4.

2.3.4 Water treatment

If used correctly water treatment can improve the boilers
efficiency and increase the anticipated life expectancy of the
boiler. For further information a special document “Quality
requirements CH water” is available from Broag.

As most systems contain a variety of metals, it is considered
good practice to provide some form of water treatment in order
to prevent or reduce the following:

• Metallic corrosion

• Formation of scale and sludge

• Microbiological contamination

• Chemical changes in the untreated system water



All scale deposits however small will reduce the efficiency of
the boiler and should be prevented.

Suitable chemicals and their use should be discussed with a
specialist water treatment company prior to carrying out any
work (environmental aspects, health aspects). The specifica­tion of the system and manufacturers recommendations must
be taken into account, along with the age and condition of
the system. New systems should be flushed thoroughly to
BS 7593(1992) to remove all traces of flux, debris, grease
and metal swarf generated during installation. Care to be
taken with old systems to ensure any black metallic iron oxide
sludge and other corrosive residues are removed, again by
power flushing, ensuring that the system is drained completely
from all low points.

11

Remeha Avanta Plus



Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in circuit when
the flushing takes place, especially if cleansing chemicals are
used to assist the process.

It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installa­tion, system modifications, filling the system and every service
in accordance with these instructions.

For the correct dosage and the suitability of inhibitors for use
with our boilers and for further information on water treatment
or system cleaning we advise direct contact with either of the
following companies:

2.3.5 Safety valve discharge

A pressure relief safety valve is fitted in the boiler set to the
maximum operating pressure of the boiler of 3 bar.
If the pressure in the boiler becomes too high the pressure
is relieved by releasing water to outside via the safety valve
discharge pipe. The discharge pipe should be fitted in accord­ance with British Standards and must be at least 15 mm Ø.
The pipe should be positioned so that the discharge of water
or steam is visible and cannot create a hazard to the occu­pants of the premises or damage the electric components and
wiring. In addition the discharge should be located where it is
unlikely to cause damage to the premises.

2.3.6 Expansion vessel

An 8 litre expansion vessel (with the vessel charge set to 1.0
bar) is fitted as standard within the boiler case and is suitable
for use in a heating system with a water content up to 100
litres, operating at a flow temperature of 80°C, a maximum
pressure of 3 bar and a maximum system static head of 5
metres above the boiler. If the system water content is greater
than 100 litres, or the system static head above the boiler is
greater than 5 m, an additional vessel must be installed in the
system to allow for the increase in expansion, see table 01.

2.3.10 Connecting condensate drain

• Connect the condensate drain outlet  to a suitable waste

water drain point using acid resisting pipe work (i.e. - ¾”
overflow). To enable the siphon in the boiler to be removed
/ serviced, the connection should not be a permanent one
(i.e. “push fit” system).

• To prevent the risk of freezing connect the condensate into

an internal vertical soil pipe using a tundish (air break) c/w a
min 75 mm water seal trap.

• If the condensate pipe has to run externally make sure

this is done by realizing the shortest possible route, and
increase the diameter to at least 1¼” or insulate it with
weather resistant insulation.

• The drain should slope at least 3 cm per meter, with a maxi-

mum horizontal length of 5 m.



• If connecting into an internal discharge branch (i.e. sink

waste etc.) the connection should preferably be down
stream of the existing waste trap.

• Fill the boiler siphon with water before operation, to prevent

flue gasses discharging into the room.

• The condensate drain must be connected in accordance

with current regulations.

2.3.11 Connecting under floor heating

The Remeha Avanta Plus can be connected directly to an
under floor heating system.
If plastic pipes have been used they must be made oxygen dif­fusion proof in compliance with DIN 4726/4729
When installing under floor heating with a separate pump, the
layout should be such that the under floor heating pump can­not cause a flow to the boiler if there is no heat demand. A low
loss header should therefore be fitted between the system and
the boiler.



Please ensure that the residual pump duty of the boiler is
sufficient for the resistance of the under floor system. If not a
low loss header should be used to separate the boiler from
the under floor circuit to allow a separate pump sized for the
resistance of the under floor system to be used.

2.4 Gas-side connections

2.4.2 Adjusting boiler to other gas-type

The Avanta Plus boilers are suitable for both natural gas and
propane firing. For propane a kit with restrictor is required.
For Avanta Plus 39c a LPG conversion set with restrictor and
burner is needed.
The boilers are supplied as standard set for natural gas
(G20), therefore the following procedure must be carried out
BEFORE the boilers are fired and commissioned for the first
time on propane:
Fit the conversion kit (instructions included in kit)
Adjust the fan speed (see Par. 2.9.8) and adjust the gas/air
ratio (see Par. 2.9.3).

2.4.3 Connecting the gas supply

• Before starting any work on the gas supply, turn off the main
isolation valve.

• Connect the gas supply  to the 22 mm Ø boiler

connection.



• Make sure there is no dirt in the gas pipe. Blow through the

pipe before installation or tap well to purge.

• The principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures the Avanta range

is able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressure down to 17
mbar. However if dynamic pressure below 19 mbar are
experienced ensure this is adequate for ALL other gas
appliances in the property.

• Preferably install a gas filter in the gas pipe to prevent the

gas block from getting dirty.

• The gas supply must be connected, tested for soundness

and purged by a qualified Engineer and in accordance
with BS6891.

2.5 Flue terminal and air supply connections

The Remeha Avanta Plus is only suitable for room sealed
operation with a standard concentric connection 60/100 mm Ø
or the optional 80/125 mm Ø connection.
Detailed recommendations for air supply and flue terminals are
given in BS 5440.



It should not be necessary to provide compartment ventilation
when the boiler is used with a standard concentric flue.

2.5.1 Flue terminal positions

The flue terminal must be located with care to ensure that the
products of combustion are dispersed properly in all weather
conditions and cause minimum nuisance to the building user
or any adjacent buildings. If the terminal is positioned less
than 2 m above the ground, balcony, or flat roof where access
by persons is possible a suitable guard must be employed.



The boiler will produce a water vapour plume during normal
operation.

2.6.1 The control unit

The Remeha Avanta Plus has an electronic regulation and
control unit with an integrated ionisation flame detector. The
heart of the boiler control unit is a microprocessor, the ‘abc
which controls and protects the boiler.

The maximum rated input is between 115 and 180 W (depend­ing on boiler type).
The boiler is fully pre-wired internally, all external connections
can be made using the terminal blocks X5 - X7 - X9 and 230
V input (X2 terminal). See the diagram for the position of the
connectors and fuse (F2) on the control unit.
The most important properties of the control unit are summa­rized in table 04.
