4.1 Flue Position and Length
Determine flue applications, length and terminal position before
starting.
Refer to diagram 4.1 or 4.2.
Note. If a longer flue duct is required DO NOT extend the
ducting.
A 1 or 2 metre flue system and terminal MUST be used, for this
appliance.
Note: If required, an optional Wall Liner Kit, part No.452481, is
available, complete with fixing instructions.
4.2 Flue Preparation
All flue assemblies are designed for internal installation (optional
wall liner is required), given that there is sufficient clearances
opposite to the flue for the installation of the flue.
If there is insufficient clearance the flue can be installed from
outside.
For a wall thickness up to 300mm, provided that there is
sufficient space and the optional wall liner kit is used the flue can
be fully installed from the inside.
For a wall thickness of over 300mm the external flue hole will
need to be made good from the outside. This applies also if you
use the flue kit without the optional kit, irrespective of wall
thickness.

There should be no undue noise in the system and no pumping
over of water or entry of air at the open vent above the feed and
expansion cistern.
All systems. The boiler should be turned off and the system
drained off as rapidly as possible, whilst still hot.
8.7 Adjustment - Fully Pumped Open Vented
and Sealed Water Systems
When commissioning the system the boiler should first be fired
with the bypass fully closed on full service, that is, central
heating and domestic hot water. Adjust the pump to the system
design setting then balance the system. Having achieved a
satisfactory condition operate the boiler with the bypass fully
closed on minimum load, normally this will be central heating
only with one radiator in the main living area operating. The
bypass valve should be gradually opened to achieve a
temperature difference no greater than 20oC between the flow
and return.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS VALVE BE
LEFT IN THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION.
8.8 Sealed Water System ONLY
Adjust system to initial design pressure. The set pointer on the
pressure gauge should be set to coincide with the indicating
pointer.
8.9 Thermostatic Radiator Valves
If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted care must be taken to
ensure that an adequate flow rate through the boiler when they
close, refer to the current issue of BS7478 for guidance.

8.10 Operational Checks and Completion
The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should be
inspected, tested for soundness and purged in accordance with
the current issue of BS6891 and in IE the current edition of
I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat calibration screw.
Operate the boiler again on full service and check that the
balancing is satisfactory, making adjustments as necessary.
Fit the front cover by hooking it under at the top and securing
with the screws previously removed, see diagram 8.5.
Fit the controls cover by hooking into the sliders and pushing it
back as far as it will go, see diagram 8.6.
8.11 Protection against Freezing
If the boiler is to be out of use for a period of time during severe
weather conditions we recommended that the whole of the
system, including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of
freezing up.
