Important -If the boiler is to be fittedin a timber framedbuildingit should be fittedin accordance with the Institute of
Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7.If in doubt advice should be sought fromthe LocalSupplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Domina N80 DGTmust be on a suitable non-combustible loadbearingwall which
will provide an adequate fixingfor the boiler mountingbracket assembly.The location should be in an
area where the water pipes will not be subjectedto frost conditions.In sitingthe combination boiler the
followinglimitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installedin any roomor internalspace, although particular attention is drawn
to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiringregulations andin Scotlandthe electricalprovisions of the
buildingregulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room
or internalspace containinga bath or shower.
Where a roomsealedappliance is installedin a roomcontaininga bath or shower any electricalswitch
or appliance controlutilisingmains electricity must be situatedso that it cannot be touchedby a person
usingthe bath or shower.
AirSupply
The roomor compartment in which the boiler is installeddoes not require a purpose providedvent when
usingthe standardconcentricflue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken fromthe rear of the boiler, fromeither side or vertically.
Astandardflue length of 0.75metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied
(equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and2815mm for rear flues, deduct 91mm plus distance fromside
wall for side outlet flues).It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of combustion discharging fromthe
terminal cannot re-enterthe building,orenterany adjacent building,throughventilations,windows,doors,
natural airinfiltration orforcedventilation/airconditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the localGas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planningstage, in order to establish
the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existingservice pipe must not be usedwithout prior consultation with the LocalGas supplier.
Agas meter can only be connectedby the LocalGas supplier, or by a LocalGas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fittedin accordance with BS6891-1988.
Appliance inlet workingpressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NGand37mbar minimum for LPG.
Pipeworkfromthe meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 2.73m3/h of naturalgas, and2,00 kg/h of LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be testedfor gas soundness andpurgedas describedin BS6981-1988.All pipework
must be adequately supported. An isolatinggas valve is providedandshould be fittedon the boiler gas inlet.
Please wait 10minutes when lightingfromcold before checkinggas rate.Gas pressures shouldbe checkedafter
the boilerhas operatedfor10minutes to reachthermal equilibrium.
WaterSystem
Note -the boileris designedforsealedsystems only andmust NOT be usedon open ventedsystems.
