I.S. 813 Domestic Gas Installations
Avoid installing the boiler where the air inlet can be polluted
by chemical products such as chlorine (swimming pool area), or
ammonia (hair dresser), or alkalin products (launderette).
Flue
Detailed information on flue assembly can be found in the
“Connecting the Flue” section.
The boiler must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to the
free passage of external air at all times and must not be installed in
a place likely to cause nuisance. It must not be allowed to discharge
into another room or space such as an outhouse or closed lean-to.
Condensing boilers have a tendency to form a plume of water
vapour from the flue terminal due to the low temperature of
the flue gasses. The terminal should therefore be located with
due regard for the damage or discolouration that may occur to
building within the vicinity and consideration must also be given to
adjacent boundaries, openable windows should also be taken into
consideration when siting the flue.
The minimum acceptable clearances are shown below:
- A Directly below an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes 75 mm
- D Below eaves 200 mm
- E From vertical drain pipe or soil pipe 75 mm
- F From internal or external corner 300 mm
- G Above ground, roof or balcony level 300 mm
- H From a surface facing the terminal 600 mm
- I From a terminal facing a terminal 1200 mm
- J Vertically from a terminal on the same wall 1500 mm
- K Horizontally from an terminal on the same wall 300 mm
- L Fixed by vertical flue terminal
Note: the flue must Not be iNstalled iN aplace likely to cause aNuisaNce
aNd positioNed to eNsure that products of combustioN do Not discharge
across abouNdary
It may be necessary to protect the terminal with a guard, if this is the
case it will be necessary to purchase a stainless steel terminal guard.
Reference should be made to the Building Regulations for guidance.
Ventilation
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require specific
ventilation. If the boiler is installed in a cupboard or compartment
ventilation is not required for cooling purposes.

10 /
INSTALLATION
Gas Supply
The gas installation and tightness testing must be in accordance
with the requirements of BS6891. Ensure that the pipe size is
adequate for demand including other gas appliances on the same
supply.
Electrical Supply
The appliance requires an earthed 230V - 50 Hz supply and must
be in accordance with current I.E.E. regulations. It must also be
possible to be able to completely isolate the appliance electrically.
Connection should be via a 3 amp double pole fused isolating
switch with contact separation of at least 3mm on both poles.
Alternatively, a fused 3 amp, 3 pin plug and unswitched socket
may be used, provided it is not used in a room containing a bath or
shower, it. It should only supply the appliance.
Automatic by pass
Ariston recommend that an automatic by pass is installed a minimum
of 1.5 metres away from the boiler to ensure the minimum required
flow rate is achieved at all times. Additionally the design of the
system and its controls must ensure that an adequate temperature
diff erential is met, and should be such to prevent boiler cycling.
Feed and vent pipework
The feed and vent pipework from the boiler to the F & E (Feed &
Expansion) tank should be configured as shown in the fig. below.

mains water supply via a suitable float operated valve. While the
supply from the F & E tank to the boiler/heating circuit (via the
cold feed) shall be unrestricted.
• The F & E tank must be adequately supported and installed in
accordance with relevant Building Regulations.
Pump specification
The pump should be fitted on the flow pipe from the boiler and have
isolating valves each side. A variable duty pump should be set to
give a temperature differential of no greater than 20ºC.
Draining tap
A draining tap must be provided at all the lowest points of the
system which will allow the entire system to be drained. A drain tap
must also be installed on the flow and return pipes immediately
above the boiler to ensure complete draining of the primary flow
and return is possible.

INSTALLATION
Flushing and Water Treatment
The boiler is equipped with a stainless steel heat exchanger.
The detailed recommendations for water treatment are given in BS
7593:2006 (Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating
systems); the following notes are given for general guidance.
If the boiler is installed on an existing system, any unsuitable
additives must be removed.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before the system
has been thoroughly flushed; the flushing procedure must be in line
with BS 7593:2006.
We highly recommend the use of a flushing detergent appropriate
for the metals used in the circuit. These include cleansers produced
by Fernox BetzDearbon, whose function is to disolve any foreign
matter that may be in the system.
In hard water areas or where large quantities of water are in the
system the treatment of water to prevent premature scaling of the
main exchanger is necessary.
The formation of scale heat compromises the efficiency of the
thermic exchanger because small areas of scale cause a high
increase of the temperature of the metallic walls and therefore add
to the thermal stress of the heat exchanger.
Demineralised water is more aggressive so in this situation it is
necessary to treat the water with an appropriate corrosion inhibitor.
Any treatment of water by additives in the system for frost protection
or for corrosion inhibition has to be absolutely suitable for all metals
used in the circuit.
The use of a corrosion inhibitor in the sysem such as Fernox MB-
1, BetzDearborn Sentinel X100 or Fernox System Inhibitor is
recommended to prevent corrosion (sludge) damaging the boiler
and system;
If anti-freeze substances are to be used in the system, check carefully
that they are compatible with the metals used in the circuit.
ARISTON suggests the use of suitable anti-freeze products such as
Fernox ALPHI 11, which will prevent rust and incrustation taking
place.
Periodically check the pH balance of the water/anti-freeze mixture
of the boiler circuit and replace it when the amount measured is out
of the range stipulated by the manufacturer (7 < pH < 8).
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTI-FREEZE
In under-floor systems, the use of plastic pipes without protection
against penetration of oxygen through the walls can cause corrosion
of the systems metal parts (metal piping, boiler etc), through the
formation of oxides and bacterial agents.
To prevent this problem it is necessary to use pipes with an “oxygen
proof barrier”, in accordance with standards DIN 4726/4729. If pipes
of this kind are not used, keep the system separate by installing
heat exchangers of those with a specific system water treatment.
IMPORTANT
Failure to carry out the water treatment procedure will invalidate
the appliance guarantee.
System Controls
The boiler is electrically controlled and is suitable for most modern
electronic time and temperature controls. The addition of such
external controls can be beneficial to the efficient operation of the
system.
The boiler connections for external controls are 240V. ARISTON
supply a range of wired and wireless system controls. Contact your
supplier for more details.
Location
The boiler can be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable
sound proofing may be required when installing onto a stud
partition wall). Provision must be made to allow for the correct
routing of the flue and siting of the terminal to allow the safe and
efficient removal of the flue products. A compartment or cupboard
may be used provided that it has been built or modified for this
purpose. It is not necessary to provide permanent ventilation for
cooling purposes. Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5440
Part 2. If it is proposed that it is to be installed in a timber framed
building then reference should be made to IGEM Document, IGE/

Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing
a bath or shower, the appliance and any electrical switch or
appliance control, utilising mains electricity should be situated
specifically in accordance with current IEE Wiring Regulations.
For unusual locations, special procedures may be necessary. BS
6798 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.

Codensate Discharge
The condensate discharge hose from the boiler must have
a continuous fall of 2.5oand must be inserted by at least
50mm into a suitable acid resistant pipe - e.g. plastic waste or
overflow pipe. The condensate discharge pipe must have a
minimum diameter of 22mm, must have a continuous fall and
preferably be installed and terminated to prevent freezing.
The discharge pipe must be terminated in a suitable position:
i) Connecting into an internal soil stack (at least 450mm above the
invert of the stack). A trap giving a water seal of at least 75mm
must be incorporated into the pipe run, there also must be an air
beak upstream of the trap.
ii) Connecting into the waste system of the building such as a
washing maching or sink trap. The connection must be upstream
of the washing machine/sink. If the connection is downstream
of the waste trap then an additional trap giving a minimum
water seal of 75mm and an air break must be incorporated in
the pipe run, as above.
iii) Terminating into a gully, below the grid level but above the
water level
iv) Into a soakaway
Note: If any condensate pipework is to be installed externally then
it should be kept to a minimum and be insulated with a waterproof
insulation and have a continuous fall. The total length of external
pipe used should not exceed 3 metres.
Some examples of the type of condensate terminations can be
found below.
1. Internal termination of condensate drainage pipe to internal stack.
2. External termination of condensate drainage pipe via internal
discharge branch (e.g. sink waste) and condensate siphon.

INSTALLATION
Installing the Boiler
Please check that you are familiar with the installation requirement
before commencing work.
The installation accessories described in the following list are
included in the boiler packaging:
- Hanging bracket
- A paper template (showing the dimensions of the boiler with 5
mm side clearances)
- Gas isolation valve (compression)
- Washers
- Installation, Servicing and User manual
- Flue gasket
- Fixing screws
Method of positioning the boiler on the wall
The paper template can be used to ensure the correct positioning of
kitchen cabinets etc.
The paper template has to be fixed to the wall and used to locate
the position of the hanging bracket and the centre for the flue hole.
Drill and plug the wall and secure the hanging bracket using the
screws provided, ensure the hanging bracket is fixed square on the
wall. Remove the boiler from its packaging.
Place the boiler on the hanging bracket.
Note: the appliaNce must Not be fitted oN acombustible wall surface.
Connecting the boiler to the system
- Remove the boiler casing as described on page 14
- Remove the cap and connect the gas isolation valve to the boiler
using the washer provided (C) page 13;
Filling the system/condensate discharge
Fill the central heating and bleed air from the system as described in
the Commissioning Instructions.
The system should be carefully checked for leaks, as frequent refilling
could cause premature system corrosion or unnecessary scaling of
the heat exchanger.
Pay special attention not to bend the condensate silicone drain
pipe is such a way as to interrupt the flow. Please only use drain
pipe material compatible with condensate products (refer to BS
6798:2000).
The condensate flow can reach 2 litres/hour because of the acidity of
the condensate products (Ph close to 2), take care before operation.
See page 12 for condensate discharge options.
Gas connection
Make sure, using the labels on the packaging and the data plate on
the appliance itself, that the boiler is in the correct country and that
the gas category for which the boiler was designed corresponds to
one of the categories available in the country where it will be used.
The gas supply piping must be created and measured out in
compliance with specific legal requirements and in accordance with
the maximum power of the boiler; ensure the gas isolation valve is
connected correctly, see drawing opposite.
Check that the supplied gas corresponds to the type of gas for which
the boiler was designed (see the data plate located on the appliance
itself).
It is also important to check that the pressure of the gas (methane
or LPG) you will be using to feed the boiler is suitable, because if it
is insufficient the power may be reduced, causing inconvenience for
the user.

Connecting the Flue
Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as de-
scribed in BS 5440-1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed
to outdoor air.
The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as
an outhouse or lean-to.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage
of air across it at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or
discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity, it must
also be located in a place not likely to cause nuisance.
In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving
the flue terminal.
The effect of such “steaming” must be considered.
If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground
or above a flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable
stainless steel terminal guard must be fitted.
The minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specified in Fig. 1.
- A Directly below an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes 75 mm

2x Seals
Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, fit the rubber flue
seal into the internal flue turret (see diagram opposite),
Insert the elbow into the socket and rotate to the required position.
note: It is possible to rotate the elbow 360° on its vertical axis.
Using the flue clamp, seals and screws supplied (Fig 4) secure the
elbow to the boiler.
The 1 metre horizontal flue kit (3318073) supplied is suitable for an
exact X dimension of 753mm.
Measure the distance from the face of the external wall to the face
of the flue elbow (X - Fig 2), this figure must now be subtracted from
753mm, you now have the total amount to be cut from the plain
end of the flue.
Draw a circle around the outer flue and cut the flue to the required
length taking care not to cut the inner flue, next cut the inner
flue ensuring that the length between the inner and outer flue is
maintained. (Fig 4).
e.g.
X = 555mm
753-555 = 198mm (Length to be cut from the plain end of the
flue).
Once cut to the required length, ensure that the flue is free from
burrs and reassemble the flue. If fitting the flue from inside of the
building attach the outer wall seal to the flue terminal and push
the flue through the hole, once the wall seal has passed through
the hole, pull the flue back until the seal is flush with the wall.
Alternatively, the flue can be installed from outside of the building,
the outer seal being fitted last.
Should the flue require extending, the flue connections are push fit,
however, one flue bracket should be used to secure each metre of
flue.
Note: See table for maximum and minimum flue runs.

INSTALLATION
Fitting the 5”Flue
(Ø 80 / 125 Horizontal/vertical) Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, it is necessary to
insert the Ø80/125 adaptor (Fig. 5) for both horizontal and vertical
flue runs into the boiler flue socket (not supplied with flue kit - Part
No 3318095).
Push the adaptor onto the boilers flue connection, grease the seals
then add extensions or elbows as required, secure the adaptor,
using the clamp and screws provided.
To fit extensions or elbows it is first necessary to ensure that the lip
seal is fitted correctly into the inner flue, once verified, it is simply
necessary to push them together, no clamps are necessary to secure
the flue components.
Before proceeding to fit the flue, ensure that the maximum flue
length has not been exceeded (See the tables) and that all elbows
and bends have been taken into consideration, for each additional
90° elbow 1 metre must be subtracted from the total flue length,
and for each 45° 0.5 metres must be subtracted from the total flue
length (the height of the vertical adaptor and a 45° bend can be
seen in Fig.6 and a 90° bend in Fig. 7).
Note: DO NOT cut the vertical flue kit.

Note: See table for maximum and minimum flue runs.
Contents:
1x Conical Adaptor (60/100mm)
1x Vertical Flue Kit (80/125mm)
The vertical flue kit is supplied with a specially designed weather
proof terminal fitted, it can be used either with a flat roof or a
pitched roof.
The Vertical flue kits useable lengths with the pitched roof flashings
are indicated in Fig. 7.
Before proceeding to fit the flue, ensure that the maximum flue
length has not been exceeded (See the tables) and that all elbows
and bends have been taken into consideration, for each additional
90° elbow 1 metre must be subtracted from the total flue length,
and for each 45° 0.5 metres must be subtracted from the total flue
length (the height of the vertical adaptor and a 45° bend can be
seen in Fig. 8).
Mark the position of the flue hole in the ceiling and/or roof (see Fig.
7 for distance from wall to the centre of the flue).
Cut a 130mm diameter hole through the ceiling and/or roof and fit
the flashing plate to the roof.
DO NOT cut the vertical flue kit.
To connect the vertical flue kit directly to the boiler, place the vertical
starter kit (Part No. 3318079) (see Fig. 7) onto the exhaust manifold
and secure with the clamp, fit the vertical adaptor onto the vertical
starter kit (note: there is no need to use a clamp to secure this as it
is a push fit connection), the vertical flue kit must then be inserted
through the roof flashing, this will ensure that the correct clearance
above the roof is provided as the terminal is a fixed height.
Should extensions be required, they are available in 1 metre (Part No.
3318077), 500mm (Part No. 3318078) and they must be connected
directly to the vertical starter kit before connecting the adaptor to
allow the vertical flue kit to be fitted. In the event that extension
pieces need to be shortened, they must only be cut at the male end
and it must be ensured that the inner and outer flue remain flush.
When utilising the vertical flue system, action must be taken to
ensure that the flue is supported adequately to prevent the weight
being transferred to the appliance flue connection by using 1 flue
bracket per extension.
When the flue passes through a ceiling or wooden floor, there must
be an air gap of 25mm between any part of the flue system and any
combustible material. The use of a ceiling plate will facilitate this.
Also when the flue passes from one room to another a fire stop must
be fitted to prevent the passage of smoke or fire, irrespective of the
structural material through which the flue passes.

INSTALLATION
Fitting the Twin Pipe (Ø80 / 80)
Note: See table for maximum and minimum flue runs.
Where it is not possible to terminate the flue within the distance
permitted for coaxial flues, the twin flue pipe can be used by fitting
a special adaptor to the flue connector and using the aperture for
the air intake located on top of the combustion chamber.
Always ensure that the flue is adequately supported, using one flue
bracket per extension and avoiding low points. (ARISTON supply
suitable clamps as Part No. 705778).
To utilise the air intake it is necessary to:
1) Take the air intake cover off the top of the appliance
2) Assemble the flange on the header supplied with the boiler
3) Insert the header on the tube or the elbow up until the lower stop
(you do not have to use the washer).
4) Insert the elbow/header in the boiler air intake hole and fasten it
with screws.
The twin flue pipes can be fitted with or without additional elbows
and need no clamps, simply ensure that the lip seal is inserted in the
female end of the flue pipe and push the extension piece fully into
the previous section of flue pipe or elbow, check that the lip seal is
not dislodged when assembling the flue (greasing the seal will aid
assembly).
Twin pipe can also be converted back to Coaxial flue to enable
vertical termination with a coaxial kit by using the pipe bridge (Twin
- Coaxial Adaptor - Part No. 3318089). When running the twin flue
pipe vertically.
It is not possible to terminate concentrically horizontally. Termination
is only possible with separate air and exhaust terminals.
When siting the twin flue pipe, the air intake and exhaust terminals
must terminate on the same wall, the centres of the terminals must
be a minimum of 280 mm apart and the air intake must not be sited
above the exhaust terminal (refer to Fig. 10). The air intake pipe can
be run horizontally, however, the terminal and the final 1 metre of
flue must be installed either horizontally or with a slight fall away
from the boiler to avoid rain ingress.
It is also strongly recommended that the air intake pipe run be
constructed of insulated pipe to prevent condense forming on the
outside of the tube.
Ensure the exhaust tube has a minimum fall back to the boiler of 1˚ /
metre (1˚ = 17.5mm/metre)
The maximum permissible flue length for twin flue is dependent on
the type of run used (see table on page 22).
