HOT WATER SYSTEM

HOT WATER SYSTEM

The optional add-in boiler which may be fitted in the appliance has an output sufficient for domestic hot water heating. If the boiler is fitted then the room heating will be reduced.

The hot water system should be a gravity circuit and must be correctly vented as shown in Fig. 6.

A double feed indirect hot water storage cylinder to BS:1556 part 1 should be used in most situations, unless the appliance is to be fitted in a soft water area in which case a direct hot water cylinder may be used provided that the boiler is glass lined.

All pipework in the primary circuit must be 28mm diameter and the flow pipe must rise continuously from the boiler to the open vent.

If an indirect cylinder is used then the primary circuit should be filled with a suitable inhibitor to prevent the build up of scale and corrosion.

FITTING THE

OPTIONAL ADD-IN

BOILER

The boiler for the Country 12 replaces the rear firebrick, the boiler for the Country 8 replaces the rear and righthand side firebricks.

Before fitting the boiler, remove the front firebars, the side and back fire plates and the appropriate firebrick(s). Knock out the knock-outs for the boiler tappings in the back of the firebox.

Remove the backnuts and fibre washers from the boiler tappings and fit the boiler into the appliance. Place the fibre washers over the tappings on the outside of the appliance and fit the backnuts, ensuring that the boiler is held tightly against the rear inside face of the appliance and that the top edge of the boiler is level or runs uphill to the flow tapping. On the Country 8 also ensure that the boiler is fitted tight against the righthand side of the firebox.
