N.B. For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
Important-If the boileristobe fitted ina timberframedbuildingitshouldbe fittedin accordancewith the Instituteof
Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought fromthe Local Supplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Ferroli F30 must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearingwall which will provide
an adequate fixingfor the boiler mountingsafety bracket assembly. The location should be in an area where
the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In sitingthe combination boiler the following
limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any roomor internal space,although particular attention is drawn
to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiringregulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions of the
buildingregulations applicable in Scotland,with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room
or internal space containinga bath or shower.
Where a roomsealed appliance is installed in a roomcontaininga bath or shower any electrical switch
or appliance control utilisingmains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person
usingthe bath or shower.
Air Supply
The roomor compartment in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent when
usingthe standard concentric flue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken fromthe rear of the boiler,fromeither side or vertically.
Astandard flue 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 and 2815mm for rear flues,deduct 91mm plus distance fromside
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 planningstage,in order to establish
the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existingservice pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier.
Agas 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 workingpressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM,for NGand 37mbar minimumfor LPG.
Pipeworkfromthe meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 3.5m3/h of natural gas,and 2.60 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 isolatinggas valve is provided and should be fitted on the boiler gas inlet.
Please wait 10 minutes when lightingfromcold before checkinggas rate. Gas pressures should be checked after
the boiler has operated for 10minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
Water System
Note -the boiler is designed for sealed systems only and must NOT be used on open vented systems.
