Note. Before fitting the flue turret fill the condensate trap or

 

145

siphon trap within the boiler by pouring a cupful of

 

 

water into the flue outlet. Take care to ensure that the

 

 

water is only poured into the flue outlet, and does not

 

 

spill into the boiler casing.

 

 

1 Insert the flue assembly through the prepared hole in the

 

 

wall (ensuring the 145mm minimum dimension is

 

 

maintained).

27 SAFETY VALVE DRAIN

relief valve

The discharge pipe should be positioned so that the discharge of water or steam cannot create a hazard to the occupants of the premises or damage to electrical components and wiring.

28 CONDENSATE DRAIN

Refer also to the British Gas document: “Guidance Notes for the installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers” (1989).

The condensate drain provided on the boiler must be connected to a drainage point, preferably within the building.

The boiler includes a trap that prevents combustion products entering the drain. However an additional trap with a seal of at least 75 mm and an air break between the traps is required if the condensate drain pipe is connected to sanitary pipework.

Condensate drain

Additional trap

The length of the condensate pipe should be kept at minimum and must be arranged so that obstruction (e.g.

through freezing) of external drainage pipework does not give rise to spillage within the dwelling.

If a part of the drainpipe runs externally this part should be kept as short as possible and protected to reduce the risk of freezing.

IMPORTANT

If excessive external pipework cannot be avoided an additional condensate removal pump (available as an option) and insulation are recommended to prevent possible freezing.

The drain outlet on the boiler is a 25 mm o.d. plastic pipe. This size must not be reduced below 21.5 mm o.d. (standard overflow pipe) in any part of its length.

All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain system must be made of plastic. No other materials may be used.

To avoid condensate being trapped:

---the drainpipe should be run with a fall of at least 2.5û (45 mm/m) away from the boiler;

---the number of bends and joints should be kept at minimum;

---the drainpipe should be adequately fixed to pevent pipe sagging.

C28, C24, C32 specifications

The Mamiya C series is celebrated among photography enthusiasts for its unique twin-lens reflex (TLR) design, offering both a classic aesthetic and innovative features that set it apart in the world of medium format cameras. The C32, C24, and C28 models represent a range of technology and design advancements that cater to various shooting needs.

The Mamiya C32, introduced in the early 1970s, is renowned for its precision engineering and versatility. This model features interchangeable lenses, allowing photographers to switch between different focal lengths for creative flexibility. The camera supports 120 and 220 film formats, enabling higher film capacities for extended shooting sessions. An essential feature of the C32 is its built-in light meter, which enhances exposure accuracy by providing real-time readings. The camera's bright waist-level finder offers excellent viewing comfort and composition aid, attracting those who appreciate a more hands-on shooting experience.

Next in line, the Mamiya C24 offers a slightly more compact and lighter design, making it an appealing option for documentary and street photographers. While still featuring the electronic leaf shutter system utilized in the C32, the C24 omits built-in metering, which encourages users to develop their exposure skills. The lens selection remains robust, with options ranging from wide-angle to telephoto, allowing for creative versatility. The C24's rugged build quality and reliable shutter performance make it a trusted companion in various shooting conditions.

Lastly, the Mamiya C28 provides a perfect blend of portability and advanced capabilities. With its ergonomic design and improved lens coatings, the C28 offers enhanced image quality with better contrast and sharpness. Similar to its predecessors, it utilizes an interchangeable lens system but enhances user convenience through quick-to-use shutter speeds and aperture settings. The camera is also compatible with a range of accessories, such as flash units and close-up attachments, further expanding its creative potential.

In summary, the Mamiya C32, C24, and C28 each present unique features and technological advancements that cater to various types of photographers. Whether it's the precision of the C32, the compact convenience of the C24, or the versatile performance of the C28, these cameras maintain a special place in the hearts of medium format enthusiasts, showcasing the blend of craftsmanship and innovation that Mamiya is known for.
