1. DESCRIPTION
1.01 Introduction
The Domina 80 E is defined as a “room sealed” combination boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from
outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fired heat generator for central heating and
domestic hot water production. A special feature of this boiler is its built-in electronic flame ignition and control unit
making burner operation completely automatic and safe. The main components are as follows:
• Copper heat exchanger consisting of three finned tubes specifically shaped for high efficiency.
• There are three copper coils inserted in the three heating circuit tubes. These represent the domestic hot water
heat exchanger. Their shape and high exchange surface area enable the full output of the boiler to be absorbed.
• Ceramic fibre insulated combustion chamber
• 12 stainless steel bladed burners specifically designed for this boiler.
• Fan for discharge of combustion products and intake of combustion air.
• Differential air pressure switch. For safety reasons, this ensures the burner ignites only when the fan is functioning correctly.
• Hermetically sealed compartment made from corrosion-resistant steel enclosing the above components.
• Combination gas safety valve with modulator, complete with pressure stabiliser.
• Flowmeter giving the domestic hot water circuit precedence over the central heating circuit.
• Pressure relief valve for the central heating circuit set to open at 3 bar.
• Built-in Expansion vessel.
• Variable speed pump.
• Central heating flow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Domestic hot water flow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Central heating limit thermostat.
• Overheat safety thermostat.
• Electronic control unit for automatic flame ignition and control.
• Central heating low water pressure cut off switch.
• Domestic hot water flow temperature sensor.
• Central heating flow temperature sensor.

N.B. - The gas pressures at the burner and gas flows during the central heating phase given in the table
refer to nominal boiler output. To reduce this output (where necessary), gas pressure must be reduced
until the required output level is reached (see figures 4 and 5).
During domestic hot water production, gas pressures to the burner must correspond to the maximum
output given in table for the type of gas.
Gas pressure must be adjusted during maximum draw-off of domestic hot water.
•Maximum working temperature for central heating flow: 85°C
•Maximum temperature of domestic hot water: 55°C, adjustable between 40°C and 55°C.
•Minimuum domestic cold water pressure required for 95% heat input:

2.04 Central heating adjustment (not normally required)
To adjust boiler heat input (thus also regulating heat output to the central heating water) simply adjust
the main burner via the electronic control board (fig. 4 and 5).
The diagrams indicate the variation in heat output to the water as burner working pressure is varied.
Adjusting boiler output to the actual requirements of the central heating system will minimise boiler
cycling thus saving fuel, varying the output has virtually no effect on the efficiency and combustion
characteristics of the boiler.

3.0 INSTALLATION DETAILS
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in
accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of
Practice, current I.E.E. Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with
the Regulations may lead to prosecution; it is your responsibility to ensure that the law is complied with.
N.B. For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
Important - If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be fitted in accordance with the
Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought from the Local Supplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Domina 80E must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will
provide an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly. The location should be in an area
where the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the
following limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is
drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions
of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler
in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch or
appliance control utilising mains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person using
the bath or shower.
Air Supply
The room or compartment in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent when
using the standard concentric flue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler, from either side or vertically.
A standard flue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be
supplied (equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815mm for rear flues, deduct 91mm plus
distance from side wall for side outlet flues). It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of
combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter the building, or enter any adjacent building,
through ventilations, windows, doors, natural air infiltration or forced ventilation/air conditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to
establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 2.73m3/h of natural gas, and 2,00 kg/h of LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6981-1988. All
pipework must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted on the
boiler gas inlet. Please wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold before checking gas rate. Gas pressures
should be checked after the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.

DOMINA 80 E
12
Water System
Note - the boiler is designed for sealed systems only and must NOT be used on open vented systems.
Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part 2. Pipework not forming
part of the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e.
in roof spaces or ventilated underfloor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the
system in accessible locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be
in accordance with BS2879. Copper tubing to BS2871, Part 1 is recommended for water carrying
pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should have a gradient where possible to facilitate the removal of
air. Ensure that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural point for air collection. A typical heating system
with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fig. 9.
Important - If thermostatic radiator vales are fitteda bypass must be fitted to ensure a minimum flow rate
through the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should be fitted as far as possible from the boiler.
Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to
BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection
between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge
and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such
connection must be disconnected after use. A typical temporary filling loop is shown in fig. 10.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fit a scale reducer in "hard water areas" (18 clarke degrees or over)". A 15mm copper connection
point on the boiler for attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure
for the inlet supply is 10 bar (145 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water
governor or pressure reducing valve must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply in an
inconspicuous but accessible position preferable between 3 and 5 metres (10-16ft) before the appliance.
Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain
water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.
Ensure all pipework is adequately supported

DOMINA 80 E
13
NOTE: A bypass that will ensure a minimum flow rate of 6 l/min. at all all time must be fitted as far as
possible from the boiler if thermostatic radiator valves are fitted thoughout.
