INTRODUCTION
The TURBOmax Pro is a fully
automatic, wall mounted, room sealed
combination boiler for central heating
and domestic hot water. Domestic hot
water is supplied directly from the
boiler, without requiring a copper
cylinder, cold water tank, feed and
expansion tank and associated
pipework. Domestic hot water has
priority over central heating.
The boiler has been designed for use
with a sealed central heating system,
and comes fully tested and assembled
with a built in circulating pump,
expansion vessel and diverter valve.
The TURBOmax Pro has an output for
domestic hot water of 28 kW. The
boiler is easily sited on any internal
wall and can be installed with either
a horizontal or vertical RSF (room
sealed fan assisted) flue. Two types of
flue system are available, rear flue
outlet, top outlet (with turret)
concentric flue system (100 mm
outside diameter) and an extended
concentric flue system (125 mm
outside diameter). Flue extensions and
additional bends and elbows are
available for both flue systems to
increase the siting flexibility. The
boiler is not suitable for external
installation.
This boiler is available in Natural
Gas. An optional LPG conversion kit
is available.
If desired, an inhibitor may be used
in the system. Guidance on the use of
inhibitors is contained in these
instructions.
The boiler contains a domestic hot
water heat exchanger. The
temperature in the heat exchanger is
limited by the boiler control system
and it is not necessary to install a
scale reducer on the cold mains to the
boiler.
However, in exceptionally hard water
areas to prevent scale formation in
the property hot water system
pipework, a scale reducer may be
fitted.
TURBOmax Pro combination boilers
have a built in diagnostic system
which indicates the operational status
of the boiler. This feature provides key
information to aid commissioning and
fault finding.
The data badge is fitted on the rear
of the control panel.
See text of General Requirements for
installation requirements or notes.
Vaillant ltd. support the Benchmark
initiative. Within the information
pack, you will find a Benchmark Log
Book. It is very important that this is
completed correctly at the time of
installation, commisioning and handover to the user.
Note: This boiler must be installed
and service by a competent person
in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations
1998. In the UK „CORGI“
registered installers undertake the
work to a safe and satisfactory
standard.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Gas Supply
The gas supplier should ensure the
availability of an adequate supply of
gas.
A gas meter may only be connected
to the service pipe by the supplier of
gas or their contractor.
An existing meter should be checked
to ensure that it is capable of passing
the rate of gas supply required.
Installation pipes should be fitted in
accordance with BS 6891.
Pipework from the meter to the boiler
must be of an adequate size. Do not
use pipes of a smaller size than the
boiler gas connection (15 mm).
The complete installation must be
tested for soundness and purged as
described in BS 6891.
Boiler location
The location chosen for the boiler
must permit the provision of a
satisfactory flue termination. The
location must also provide adequate
space for servicing and air circulation
around the boiler. The boiler may be
installed in any room, although
particular attention is drawn to the
requirements of BS7671 (IEE
Regulations) and, in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the Building
Standards (Scotland) Regulations, in
respect of the installation of a boiler
in a room containing a bath or
shower.
Where the installation of the boiler
will be in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS
5546 and BS 6798 give detailed
guidance on this aspect. The boiler
must be mounted on a flat, vertical
wall, which must be sufficiently robust
to take the weight of the boiler. The
boiler may be installed on a
combustible wall, subject to the
requirements of the Local Authorities
and Building Regulations.
A compartment used to enclose the
boiler must be designed and
constructed specifically for this
purpose. (An existing cupboard or
compartment may be used provided
that it is modified for the purpose).
Details of essential features of
cupboard/compartment design
including airing cupboard
installations are given in BS 6798.
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber
framed building, it should be fitted in
accordance with Institute of Gas
Engineers Publication
IGE/UP/7/1998 „Guide for Gas
Installation in Timber Framed
Housing“.
Note: Where a room sealed boiler
is installed in a room containing a
bath or shower, any electrical switch
or boiler control utilising mains
electricity should be so situated that
it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Flue termination
The following details refer to both
flue systems.
a. The terminal must be positioned
such that the products of
combustion can disperse freely at
all times.
b. In certain weather conditions a
plume of water vapour may be
visible from the flue terminal.
Positions where this could be a
nuisance should be avoided.
c. If the terminal is fitted less than
2 m above a balcony, above
ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then a
suitable terminal guard;
280 mm x 280 mm deep, must be
provided and fitted (made by
Tower Flue Components,
Tonbridge, TN9 1TB).
Note: Vertical flues must not
terminate within 600 mm of an
openable window, air vent or any
other ventilation opening.
Where a terminal is fitted less than
1 m below a plastic gutter or less
than 0.5 m below painted eaves or
any other painted surface then a suitable shield at least 1 m long should
be fitted to protect the surface.

In addition, the terminal should not be nearer
than 150 mm to an opening in the building fabric
formed for the purpose of accommodating a built-in
element such as a window.
* BS 5440-1 It is recommended that a fanned flue
terminal should be positioned as follows: a) at least
2m from an opening in a building directly opposite,
and b) so that the products of combustion are not
directly directed to discharge across a boundary.
13
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Cupboard or compartment
ventilation
TURBOmax Pro combination boilers
are very high efficiency appliances.
As a consequence the heat loss from
the appliance casing during
operation is very low. For cupboard
or compartment installations it is
therefore not necessary to provide
any high or low level permanent air
vents for cooling purposes.
Air supply
Detailed recommendations for air
supply are given in BS 5440: Part 2.
It is not necessary to have an air vent
in the room or internal space in which
the boiler is installed.
Electrical supply
A 230 V, ~ 50 Hz single phase
electricity supply fused to 3 Amp.
must be provided in accordance with
the latest edition of BS7671 (IEE
Wiring Regulations) and any other
local regulations that may apply.
The method of connection to the
mains electricity supply must provide
a means of completely isolating the
boiler and its ancillary controls.
Isolation is preferably by the use of a
fused three pin plug and unswitched
shuttered socket outlet, both
complying with the requirements of
BS 1363. Alternatively, a 3 Amp.
fused doublepole switch with a 3 mm
contact separation on both poles may
be used.
This appliance must be earthed.
14
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Guide to system
requirements
Water circulation system
Detailed recommendations for the
water circulation system are given in
BS 6798 and BS 5449: Part 1 (for
small bore and micro bore central
heating systems).
Pipework not forming part of the
useful heating surface should be
insulated to help prevent heat loss
and possible freezing, particularly
where pipes are run through roof
spaces and ventilated underfloor
spaces.
Draining taps must be located in
accessible positions which permit the
draining of the whole system
including the boiler and the hot water
system. Draining taps should be at
least 1/2 in. BSP nominal size and
be in accordance with BS 2879.
The boiler is suitable for use with
minibore or microbore systems.
Copper tubing to BS 2871: Part 1
should be used for water carrying
pipework. All capillary joints in the
DHW pipework must be made with
lead free solder.
Particularly where a new boiler is to
be fitted to an existing system, it is
good practice that the system is
thoroughly cleansed. This cleansing
should take place prior to the fitting
of the new boiler and be in
accordance with BS 7593.

Filling and make up
The system should be filled with water
via a seperate filling point at a
convienient position on the heating
cicuit. The connection must be
removed when filling is completed.
Where local Water Authority
regulation does not allow temporary
connection, a sealed system filler
pump with break tank must be used.
The heating system will not be filled
automatically from the domestic hot
water side.
(Alternative methods of filling sealed
systems are given in BS 5449).
Pressure relief valve
A pressure relief valve is provided
with the boiler. This safety device is
required on all sealed C.H. systems
and is preset at 3 bar and provided
with a 15 mm compression connection for a discharge pipe, which must
be of no less than 15 mm in diameter. The Pressure Relief Valve must not
be used for draining purposes.
Pressure gauge
This is factory fitted to the boiler and
indicates the primary circuit pressure
to facilitate filling and testing.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Expansion vessel
The 28 kW boiler incorporates a
10 litre expansion vessel which is
suitable for a sealed heating system
with a maximum water content of
100 litres.
If the nominal capacity of the built in
expansion vessel is not sufficient for
the heating system (for instance in
case of modernisation of old open
systems) an additional expansion
vessel can be installed external to the
boiler. It should be fitted in the return
pipe as close as possible to the boiler
in accordance with BS 5449: Part 1.
Guidance on the sizing of an
additional expansion vessel is given
in Table R.2.
