Danger! Risk of explosion or scalding caused by
incorrect installation.
Stresses in the supply line can cause leaks.
Make sure there is no voltage in the sup-
ply lines when they are installed.
Caution. Risk of damage caused by contaminated
lines.
Foreign bodies, such as welding remnants, sealing residue or dirt in the water pipes, may cause damage to the boiler.
Flush the heating installation thoroughly
prior to installation.
Seals made of rubber-like materials may be subject to plastic deformation, which can lead to pressure losses. We recom­mend using seals made of a paste-like fibre material.
5.1 Gas installation
5.1.1 Performing the gas installation
Caution. Risk of material damage caused by incor-
rect gas installation.
Excessive test pressure may cause damage to the gas valve.
When checking the entire gas installation
for leak-tightness, the maximum permiss­ible pressure at the gas valve is 7.5 kPa (75 mbar).
Caution. Risk of material damage caused by the
incorrect gas type.
Using the wrong gas type may cause a fault shutdown of the product. Furthermore, igni­tion and combustion noise may occur in the product.
Only use the gas types in accordance with
the identification plate.
5 Installation
12 Installation and maintenance instructions ecoTEC plus 0020134823_04
Remove the residues from the gas line by blowing
through the gas line beforehand.
Make sure that the existing gas meter is capable of
passing the rate of gas supply required.
Install an approved gas isolator cock on the product us-
ing the gas connection piece.
Install the gas line on the gas isolator cock without ten-
sion.
Purge the gas line before start-up.Check that the gas connection is leak-tight (Page 24).
5.2 Hydraulics installation
Caution. Risk of material damage due to high tem-
peratures.
Plastic pipes in the heating installation may become damaged by overheating if a fault occurs.
When using plastic pipes, install a max-
imum thermostat on the heating flow.
Caution. Risk of material damage due to corrosion.
If non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes are used in the heating installation, this may cause air to enter the heating water and lead to corrosion of the heat generation circuit and the product.
If using non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes
in the heating installation, separate the system by installing an external heat ex­changer between the product and the heating installation.
Caution. Risk of material damage due to heat trans-
fer during soldering.
Only solder connection pieces if the con-
nection pieces are not yet screwed to the service valves.
The product should be connected using a Vaillant pump group (accessories).
– Modulating pump
This pump group has a connection option for an expansion vessel (right-hand connection) and an expansion relief valve (left-hand connection). You can find information about avail­able accessories from the Vaillant price list or from the con­tact address provided on the reverse of this document.
When installing the pump group, observe the installa-
tion sequence for the insulation and the hydraulic pipes ( Pump group installation instructions).
Note that the boiler pump must always be fitted in the
return line. Otherwise, this may lead to a malfunction in the product.
When connecting several products in cascade operation, you must install a non-return flap from the cascade connection set in the flow line of each individual product.
A non-return flap from a third-party manufacturer must have no more than 30 mbar pressure loss for a volume flow of
4.5 m³/h.
5.2.1 Connecting the heating flow and heating return

5.2.2 Installing an expansion vessel
1
Install an expansion vessel on the connection (1) in the
return. – Connection to the pump group: 1/2
Conditions: Using a system separation
– Large expansion vessel: 10 l
5.2.3 Hydraulic connection
Ø 1 1/4"
For the hydraulic connection to the heating installation, we strongly recommend that you use a low loss header or a plate heat exchanger for the hydraulic system partition. In addition, we recommend that you install a dirt filter in the system before the low loss header or the plate heat ex­changer. For the maintenance of the plate heat exchanger, we recommend that you install cleaning connections on the heating side so that the plate heat exchanger can be backwashed during maintenance work.
To this end, various plate heat exchangers and low loss headers are available as accessories, depending on the out­put of a product or the cascade system. The pressure loss is adjusted to the pump groups that are offered as an access­ory. The minimum volume of circulating water is guaranteed in the unit circuit thanks to the original accessories, provided the maximum pressure losses are not exceeded in the pip­ing.
Select the plate heat exchanger according to output.
Depending on your choice of pump group, the following re­maining feed heads are available in the unit supply:
Power Description Remaining feed
head
80 kW Modulating pump 0.042 MPa
(0.420 bar)
100 kW Modulating pump 0.026 MPa
(0.260 bar)
120 kW Modulating pump 0.024 MPa
(0.240 bar)
If you are using a plate heat exchanger to hydraulically parti­tion the system, the following pressure losses must be main­tained (rated water volume when ΔT=20 K):
Power Pressure loss
< 120 kW 86 mbar
(0.086 bar)
In conjunction with the hydraulic cascade
< 240 kW 96 mbar

6. Fill the heating system again with water as de­scribed in "Filling and purging the heating installation" (Page 20).
7. Re-fill the system until the system design pressure of 0,1 MPa (1,0 bar) is attained.
Note
The actual reading on the digital pressure gauge should ideally be 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) plus an additional pressure corresponding to the highest point of the system above the base of the boiler – 10 m head equals an ad­ditional 1 bar reading on the pressure gauge. The minimum pressure should not be less than 0,1 MPa (1 bar) in any installation. If the system is to be treated with an inhibitor it should be applied at this stage in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Press (Select) to select the parameter to change.
Press or to change the current setting.
Press (OK) to confirm your selection.
8.2 Setting the heating partial load
The heating partial load of the product is set to Auto at the factory. If you still want to set a fixed maximum heating par­tial load, you can set a value under D.000, which equates to the product output in kW.
If the product is operated in cascade, you must raise the fan speed of the unit partial load to 1500 rpm (D.050) when operating it with Natural gas and you must never raise the speed under D.050 any higher when operating it with Liquid gas because a higher speed is already being used.
If a domestic hot water cylinder (cylinder type VIH) is in­stalled, you can adjust the partial load setting for the cylinder charging to the cylinder type (D.077).
8.3 Setting the pump overrun and pump operating mode
You can set the pump overrun under D.001 (default setting: 5 min.).
You can set the pump operating modes Eco or Comfort under D.018.
In Comfort mode, the internal pump is switched on when the heating flow temperature is not at Heating off ( Operating instructions) and the heating requirement is enabled via an external controller.
Eco (default setting) is useful for removing residual heat after hot water generation when the heat demand is ex­tremely low and large target temperature spreads exist between the hot water generation and heating mode target values. This prevents living rooms from being under­supplied. If there is a heat demand, the pump is switched on every 25 minutes for 5 minutes once the overrun time has elapsed. When operating in cascade with a low loss header or system separation, Vaillant recommends the Eco operating mode.
If a system separation is installed, you must set the pump to continuous mode (85%) (set diagnostics code D.014 to 4).
8.4 Setting the maximum flow temperature
You can set the maximum flow temperature for the heating mode under D.071 (default setting: 75 °C).
8.5 Setting the return flow temperature control
If the product is connected to an underfloor heating system, the temperature control can be changed from flow temperat­ure control (default setting) to return flow temperature control under D.017. If you have activated the return flow temper­ature control under D.017, the automatic heating output de­termination function is not active. If you set D.000 to Auto anyway, the product operates with the maximum possible heating partial load.

I.2 Text from BS 5440-1 on fan-supported flue gas guiding
BS 54401: It is recommended that the fanned flue gas system terminal is positioned as follows:
At least 2 m from an opening in the building directly opposite, andSo that the combustion products are not discharged directly across a property boundary.Dimensions D, E, F and G: These clearances may be reduced to 25 mm without affecting the performance of the boiler.
In order to ensure that the condensate vapour plume does not damage adjacent surfaces, the terminal should be exten­ded as shown.
– Dimension H: This clearance may be reduced to 25 mm without adversely affecting the performance of the boiler. How-
ever, in order to ensure that the condensate vapour plume does not damage adjacent surfaces, a clearance of 300 mm is preferred. For IE, recommendations are given in the current issue of the IS 813.
