Installation Instructions
INTRODUCTION
The MODULOFLAME 140 is a wall mounted, low water content open flued boiler. The boiler is rated between 13.1 kW (45,000
Btu/h) and 35 kW (120,000 Btu/h) outputs. The boiler is designed for use with Natural Gas and L.P.G. when a convertion kit is
fitted.
The MODULOFLAME 140 is intended for the larger domestic installations, swimming pools, commercial and industrial
applications. The boiler is suitable for open vented or sealed water systems. A pump must be installed in the water circulation
system irrespective of whether the system is of the open or sealed type. The pump incorporated in the boiler is sufficient only to
overcome the resistance of the boiler. It has electronic ignition and flame supervision, a fully adjustable electrical thermostat
which operates the boiler pump and thermistor control for the flow temperature.
The MODULOFLAME 140 is supplied in one carton. The 54 mm monotube should be fitted to the flow and return connections
to he boiler as shown in the picture below.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
OPERATION
When the external controls are calling
for heat,and the temperature in the
monotube is below the temperature set
on the thermostat, the pump will run.
Once the flow through the boiler is
established and the temperature in the
boiler is below the one set on the boiler
thermostat, the water pressure switch
will allow the grey safety solenoid and
the blue first stage solenoid to open.
The ignition sequence begins. A
continuous, high speed stream of
sparks ignites the gas. Once the
ionisation circuit detects the flame the
orange secondary solenoid opens to
allow the full, or set, gas rate to the
burner. If a flame is not detected within
8 - 10 seconds the security solenoid
will close and shut off the gas. The red
lockout indicator bulb will light. The
temperature of the primary circuit is
sensed by the thermostat in the
monotube and the flow temperature of
the boiler is detected by the thermistor
in the flow pipe. These two thermostats
interact with each other and the boiler
thermostat must always be set above
the monotube temperature.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location
The Moduloflame 140 is wall mounted
and the position chosen should allow
adequate space for servicing and for
sufficient air flow around the boiler.
The location must permit the
satisfactory routing and termination of
the flue. The surface should be flat and
non combustible and able to
adequately support the weight of the
boiler and ancillary controls.
For guidance, a wall area of:
900 mm (36 ins) wide and 1185 mm
(47 ins) high would provide the
necessary clearances for case removal
and for air movement.
As it is an open flued appliance certain
locations are banned, for example
bedroom, bedsitting rooms, private
garages or rooms containing a bath or
a shower. A cupboard or compartment
used to house the boiler must have
been designed and constructed, or
modified, specifically for the purpose.
Refer to BS 6798 for further guidance.
Flue
The following notes are for general
guidance only. For detailed
recommendations refer to BS 5440:
pt 1.
There should be at least 600 mm of
vertical flue after the boiler before the
use of any bends. The flue must take
the most direct route practicable. The
number of bends must be kept to a
minimum. Long external runs and
Horizontal or slightly inclining runs
must be avoided.
Ventilation
The following notes are for general
guidance only. For detailed
recommendations refer to BS 5440:
pt 2.
The boiler must have a permanent air
supply. This may come from an
adjacent room or internal space which
must also have permanent ventilation
to outside or direct from outside. If the
supply is from another internal space
or room, that room must have a
permanent air supply at least the size
as required for the boiler. If installed in
a room, the boiler requires a vent with
175 cm2 free air space.
Where the boiler is installed in a
compartment, the air is supplied
through vents at high and low level as
shown in the chart below:
Note: both vents should communicate
with the same room, internal space or
be on the same wall to outside air.
If there is an extractor fan is installed
on the premises, a spillage test must
be carried out with the fan operating.

Gas Supply
Do not use pipe smaller than the boiler
gas connection which is 314” BSP. The
gas installation should comply with BS
6891. The meter and pipework must be
of sufficient capacity to supply the
boiler and other gas appliances. The
completed installation must be tested
for soundness in accordance with the
requirements of BS 6891.
Electrical Supply
The boiler requires an earthed 230V -
50 Hz single phase supply. It must be
possible to completely isolate the
appliance electrically. Connection
should be via a 3 amp fused double-
pole isolating or a fused three pin plug
and an unswitched shuttered socket
outlet. Either method must be in
accordance with the current I.E.E.
regulations. It should be readily
accessible and only supply the
appliance.
SYSTEM GUIDANCE
Flushing and Water Treatment
Before connecting to the system, the
pipework should be chemically
cleansed to remove metal filings,
solder, machining oils and other fluxes
and greases which might impair the
performance of the boiler and its
controls. Refer to BS 7593 (1992).
Consideration should also be given to
the treatment of the system water and
advice can be sought from the
manufacturers of water treatment
products such as
Betz Dearbon Ltd

Fernox Manufacturing
Britannica Works
Clavering
Essex
CBI1 4QZ
Tel: [phone]
If the boilers are being installed on an
existing system, a sump and drain
should be fitted on the heating return at
the lowest point. It is essential that the
system is fully flushed to remove any
sludge and debris before the boiler is
connected.
System Controls
The Moduloflame 140 is electrically
controlled and so most normal pumped
primary control systems can be used.
Please note that when thermostatic
radiator, or zone valves are used, the
controls should be so arranged as to
turn off the boiler when they are
satisfied. A by-pass will be necessary
to maintain a minimum flow rate of
27.5 I/h (6.05 g/m) 1.65 m3/h through
the monotube.
6

Pump
The system pump should be sized to
take into consideration the load and
design of the system. The integral
pump will overcome the resistance of
the heat exchanger and so for
calculation purposes the boiler can be
disregarded. The temperature
difference across the monotube should
not exceed 18°C.
INSTALLING THE BOILER
The boiler is delivered in one carton.
Having removed the boiler do not
stand it on either the downdraught
diverter or the bottom chassis carrying
the isolating valves. Using the
dimensions in the diagram on page 5
mount the wall bracket and hang the
boiler on it. Fit the monotube ensuring
that the thermostat pocket is to the left
of the boiler. Remove the thermostat
phial from behind the electrical box and
insert in the thermostat pocket and
secure with a retaining pin.

WaterConnections
Flow and return connections made to
the monontube are 54 mm copper.
Note that the flow is from left to right
when viewed from the front.
Gas Connections
The gas service tap is attached to the
boiler. An inlet bend and filter-washer
is provided. The gas connection is 314”
BSP. and the supply should not be less
than 22 mm and should be connected
directly to the meter. If the pipe run is
likely to exceed 9 m (29.5 ft) then
consult the following table for
guidance.
