7.0Site Requirements

7.3Clearances (Figs. 15 &16)

1.These dimensions include the necessary clearances around the boiler for case removal, spanner access and air movement. Additional clearances may be required for the passage of pipes around local obstructions such as joists running parallel to the front face of the boiler. For side flue installations also See Section 8.1, Figs. 20 & 21.

2.It is recommended that any worktop is removable for servicing access.

7.4Gas Supply

1.Check that the information concerning the state of adjustment given on the data plate is compatible with local supply conditions.

2.The gas installation should be in accordance with the relevant standards. In GB this is BS 6891. In IE this is the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

3.The connection to the boiler is a 15mm tail on the gas service cock. The tail protrudes through the boiler rear panel and is protected by a transit bracket which may be removed to aid connection.

4.Ensure that the pipework from the meter to the boiler is of adequate size. (If the boiler is further than 3 metres from the Gas Meter 22mm pipe should be used). Do not use pipes of a smaller diameter than the boiler gas connection.

7.5Electrical Supply

1.External wiring must be correctly earthed, polarised and in accordance with relevant regulations/rules. In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of ETCI rules.

2.The mains supply is 230V ~ 50Hz fused at 3A.

NOTE: “The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance and system”.

Connection may be via a fused double-pole isolator with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles, which must be in an accessible position to the user and serve the boiler and system controls only.

There is no method of isolating the boiler at the user interface.

3.Four core cable is required to supply the boiler as a permanent live is necessary for the operation of the condensate pump and frost protection.
