MANUEL RIVA COMBI - REV A

2 RIVA PLUS COMBI MANUAL
Dear Customer:
Thank you for buying a Biasi Riva Plus Combi.
The Riva Plus Combi is a high efficiency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which provides
central heat supply water.
We realize that it is not possible to answer all questions about the Riva Plus Combi system in
this manual. Reading this installation manual does not make the reader an expert in all aspects
of installation and operation, and does not replace the need for a qualified, licensed heating
contractor. We urge you to contact your installing contractor or distributor if you are in question
about any aspect of your boiler’s performance. Our main concern is that you are satisfied with
your boiler and its performance. We require that your contractor complete efficiency tests using
instruments.
The external controls and accessories listed in this manual (excluding those supplied inside
the boiler) are intended to serve as guidelines rather than specific recommendations. We re-
alize that other makes and models of such devices are available and can be used as suc-
cessfully as those we specify. The installing contractor is the best judge of a system’s specific
requirements, as well as the local availability of certain makes and models of controls and
accessories. The preceding does not apply, however, to the equipment that comes with every
boiler, such as the overheat control and pressure relief valves. The installation of the spe-
cific devices supplied with every boiler is absolutely necessary to the safe operation of
the boiler and protection of the heating system.
All BIASI wall hung boilers are built in accordance with the ASME boiler and pressure vessel
code, and bear the “H” stamp. The Entire range of applications for the Riva Plus Combi has
been tested to standard CSA 4.9 and is CSAcompliant.
This Riva Plus Combi has a 2 year warranty, a copy of which is provided with the boiler. Please
be sure to return the warranty registration card as the warranty will be void without your boiler’s
serial numbers (located on the ratings label affixed to the boiler), date of installation and the
name of your installer being on record in our files.
Thank you for purchasing our Riva Plus Combi. If you have questions or comments, please
don’t hesitate to contact us immediately. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

WARNING
Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of pro-
ducing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, colorless
and tasteless but is very toxic. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the
building.
BRIEF EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF CO MAY
RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EXPOSURE CAN BE
FATAL AND EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT
IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING
UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:
dizziness vision problems shortness of breath
headache loss of muscle control unclear thinking
nausea weakness unconsciousness
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the highest
incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season.
A victim may not experience any symptoms, only one symptom, or a few symptoms.
Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to disappear when you
leave your home.
The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:
Hot gasses from appliance, venting system pipes or chimney, escaping into the living• space.
Flames coming out around the appliance.• Yellow colored flames in the appliance.• Stale or smelly air.• The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.• Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.•
If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are
present, VACATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED
HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM
WORK ON YOUR BIASI RIVA COMBI BOILER.

Mounting Bracket8.
After a suitable installation location is chosen, verify that the mounting wall is properly braced
and strong enough to support the 110 pound weight of the unit when filled with water.
NOTE: The boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are
protected from water and liquids in general (dripping,spraying, rain, etc) during
the appliance operation and service.
Use the paper template provided with the boiler to determine the location of the mounting
bracket. Securely mount the bracket to the wall using appropriate hardware for the particular
wall construction.
Mounting Steps:
Tape the paper template to the wall in the chosen location. Be sure to level the1. template.
Pre-drill two holes in the center of the “oval” slots on the mounting bracket, sized for2. the hardware being used.
Mount the bracket to the wall. Be sure to level the bracket by adjusting the screw in3. the vertical slot.
Pre-drill the remaining hole in the mounting bracket and secure the final screw.4. Mark and drill the exhaust/intake pipe holes through the house. If you are using a5. coaxial pipe system, drill the hole marked A (ø 4”) in the drawing below and on the
paper template. If you are using a separate pipe system drill holes marked B and C (ø
3.25”) shown below as well as on the paper template.
Remove paper template and hang boiler on bracket.6.

Venting9.
The Riva Plus Combi is a mechanical draft, side wall vented boiler. There are two side wall
flue options available – separate and coaxial. The coaxial option has one configuration shown
on the next page. The separate option has two possible configurations shown on the following
pages. There is also a vertical roof venting option. Regardless of what vent kit is installed,
they should all conform to the Provisions for combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1, or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes, or appli-
cable provisions of the local building codes.
If the Biasi Riva Plus Combi replaces a boiler that was attached to a common vent system, the
common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining
connected to it. To ensure the remaining appliances will function properly, the test procedure
below should be followed:
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the
space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are
located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust
thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation.
Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common
venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous
condition of use.” (g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be
corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes. When resizing any portion of the common
venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the mini-
mum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.

9.3 Choice of flue:
The following flue kits are available for connecting to the boiler:
A Standard coaxial horizontal flue kit (Exhaust & intake outside)
Figure 9.3 (Coaxial 2.4/4.0 inches – nominal lenght 3.3 ft)
It can be fitted to allow discharge to the rear or either side of the boiler via the flanged boiler
adapter elbow. Minimum lenght required is 2.9 ft. Maximum equivalent lenght of 8.8 ft can be
achieved utilising extensions. This flue system can only be used to discharge horizontally, it is
not designed to enable termination in the vertical plane.
Installation:
Drill hole A (on the wall template) through the outside wall that is less than 18”thick.• Cut the pipe as necessary so that a no more than 6” protrudes from the house.• Slide the intake and exhaust pipes through the hole.• Slide one rubber wall trim piece on the pipe from inside and one from outside.• Connect exhaust (inner) pipe to concentric elbow.• Connect intake (outer) pipe to concentric elbow.• Secure elbow to boiler using gasket and four screws provided.• Secure end cap on the intake pipe outside the house.•

20 RIVA PLUS COMBI MANUAL
9. Venting Cont.
B Standard separate horizontal flue kit (Exhaust & intake outside)
Figure 9.4 (Twin pipe Ø 3.25 in)
Various twin (split) pipes kits and optional accessories (elbows) are available to assist in the
termination of the flue where the boiler is installed in a location remote to an outside wall.
These kits allow for separation of the air supply pipe from the pipe that discharges the exhaust
gasses. Consequently it is possible to extend the flue system to a greater distance than that
provided by the standard coaxial horizontal flue.
If either an additional 45° or 90° accessory elbow is used then the maximum permissible lenght
of either pipe must be reduced by 3.0 ft or 5.4 ft respectively. The sum of the lenghts of the two
horizontal part must be less than 49.2 ft.
Installation:
• Drill holes B & C (on the wall template) through the outside wall that is less than
18”thick.
• Cut the pipes as necessary so that no more than 6” of intake pipe protrudes from the
house and the exhaust pipe is a minimum of 4 inches longer than the intake pipe.
• Slide the Intake and exhaust pipes through the respective holes.
• Slide one rubber wall trim piece on each pipe from inside and one from outside.
• Attach each collar to the boiler with the gasket and screws provided.
• Insert each elbow into its corresponding collar.
• Connect each pipe to its corresponding elbow (as shown in the diagram).
• Secure end cap on the intake and exhaust pipe outside the house
