INSTALLATION PLUMBING
IT IS THE INSTALLERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE INSTALLATION DOES NOT
CONTRAVENE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE WATER SUPPLY REGULATIONS, BUILDING
REGUALTIONS OR LOCAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONS.
Th boil r must b install d by a qualifi d, comp t nt trad sman who is awar of and will comply with all
r l vant standards that ar applicabl : .g. Building R gulations, th Local Authority R gulations, th Wat r
Supply R gulations and und rtaking th r l vant British Standards. Th syst m must b flush d in
accordanc with BS 7593 and in accordanc with th suppli d instructions and drawings to nsur prop r
op ration.
Th boil rs contain a v ry small amount of wat r, and so r quir a suffici nt flow rat of wat r to nsur
prop r op ration. Mod ls 400 and 600 r quir a minimum flow of 6 litr s/minut , and mod ls 900, 1100 &
1200 r quir a minimum flow of 12 litr s/minut . Insuffici nt flow of wat r through th boil r will caus
nuisanc trip outs. Th maximum t mp ratur diff r ntial b tw n input and output of th boil r must not
xc d 140C. If th t mp ratur across th boil r xc ds this th n th flow rat is too low and will
pot ntially damag th boil r. S t th flow rat to giv 5 - 100C across th boil r on full h at.
Th output FLOW pip at th TOP of th boil r is id ntifi d RED. Th input RETURN pip at th BOTTOM
is id ntifi d BLUE. Ensur that th dir ction of flow is corr ct through th boil r aft r installation. S t th
pump on maximum flow rat .
Pip work conn ctions on all mod ls ar 22mm.
Us standard siz pip work. DO NOT SOLDER DIRECTLY ONTO THE BOILER TAILS. Push-on or
compr ssion fittings ar suitabl for conn cting dir ctly onto th boil r tails. Fit a 22mm lbow to th top of
th boil r, and aft r 100 150mm of horizontal pip work fit an automatic air v nt, or conn ct th xpansion
pip work on op n v nt d syst ms to provid a rout for air to v nt. DO NOT FIT THE AAV DIRECTLY
ABOVE THE BOILER.
Th Ampt c boil r is suitabl for op ration in s al d or op n v nt d syst ms. It is also suitabl for sch m s
such as h ating only, W plan, S plan, zon h ating, und r floor h ating, micro-bor via a manifold, tc. If
you ar unsur about your application r garding suitability of th boil r pl as do not h sitat to contact your
local suppli r or H atra Sadia dir ctly.
Th cost of installation can b r duc d if th l ctric flow boil r is us d for h ating only. Us a dir ct typ
cylind r with imm rsion l m nts and a tim clock for th dom stic hot wat r, th n conn ct th l ctric flow
boil r dir ctly to th h ating circuit and control it by a programmabl room th rmostat. If th radiator circuit
has a continuously op n rout for th wat r flow, th n a bypass is not r quir d. Th boil r sizing is for
h ating only in this cas and do s not hav to b incr as d to allow for dom stic hot wat r as w ll.
Ensur th r is always an op n rout for th wat r to flow in any installation, to m t th r quir d minimum
flow rat of th boil rs and to allow for th pump ov r run. If an op n rout through th h ating circuit can
not b guarant d, th n a bypass, fitt d with an automatic bypass valv , must b fitt d which m ts th
r quir d minimum flow rat s for th boil r.
Th bypass must hav a minimum of ith r 2 m tr s of 22mm continuous pip work, or b rout d through a
radiator with minimum dim nsions of 600 x 600mm. Automatic pr ssur op ning valv s must b us d with
th bypass circuit, nsur th y ar install d corr ctly as p r th manufactur rs instructions. Gat valv s ar
not suitabl . DO NOT FIT A VALVE BETWEEN THE BOILER AND THE SAFETY PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE OR EXPANSION RELIEF SYSTEM.
Th boil rs ar suitabl for op rating pr ssur s up to 3 bar. Normal s al d syst ms op rat at 1 to 1.5 bar.
Ensur a saf ty pr ssur r li f valv is fitt d to all s al d syst ms. With op n v nt d installations, nsur
th r is a suffici nt h ad of wat r for th pump to supply th full flow through th boil r of at l ast 1½ m tr s
b tw n th bottom of th F & E tank and th top of th boil r.
