INTRODUCTION
THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION
OF THE BOILER MUST BE SCRUPULOUSLY RESPECTED,
OTHERWISE THE WARRANTY MAY BE CANCELLED.
DUTY
The range of boilers is suitable for: combined indirect pumped
domestic hot water and central heating systems; independent
indirect pumped domestic hot water or central heating
systems.
Fully pumped systems may be open vented or sealed.

GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)
REGULATIONS, 1994
It is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a
CORGI registered installer in accordance with the above
regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to
ensure the law is complied with.
The installation of the boiler MUST also be in accordance with
the latest l.E.E Wiring Regulations, local building regulations,
bye-laws of the local water authority, the building regulations
and the Building Standards (Scotland) and any relevant
requirements of the local authority.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following
British Standard Codes of Practice:
BS. 6891 Low pressure installation pipes.
BS. 6798 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated
input not exceeding 60 kW.
BS. 5449 Forced circulation hot water systems.
BS. 5546 Installation of gas hot water supplies for
domestic purposes (2nd Family Gases)
BS. 6644 Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input
exceeding 60 kW)
BS. 5440:2 Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 60 kW)
Buccaneer GT Range - Installation
FOUNDATION
The boiler must stand on a non-combustible floor
(i.e. concrete or brick) which must be flat, level and of a
suitable load bearing capacity to support the weight of the
boiler (when filled with water) and any ancillary equipment.
If the boiler is mounted on a plinth then the dimensions must
exceed the plan area of the boiler by at least 75mm on each
side

2 INSTALLATION OF THE BOILER
The minimum dimensions indicted on the following drawing
must be respected to ensure good access around the boiler.
Remark: To allow the inlet of the combustion air, the boiler
room must be adequately ventilated, the section and the
location of which must comply with local recommendations.
VENTILATION GENERAL
Detailed recommendations for air supply are quoted in BS.
6644. The ventilation requirements in this gas fired boiler
standard are also valid for oil fired boilers or the same heat
input.
Remark: We draw your attention to the risks of corrosion of
the boilers installed in or near to rooms in which the
atmosphere can be polluted by chloride or fluoride
substances. E.G.; industrial buildings (solvents), refrigerating
machines, etc... in these cases we cannot provide a warranty.
LEVELLING
Insert the cylinder into the hole provided in each foot of the
heating body and screw the adjustable foot into it. Level.
* Attention must be paid to the space occupied by the burner when the door is open.
Note: (1) Adjustable feet 35mm - 45mm (2) Thickness of burner door with insulation

The following must be confirmed with:
Current Building Regulations and Clean Air Act
Water Authority Regulations
Local Authority Regulations and Regional bylaws
Gas Safety Regulations
Any special regional requirements of local Electricity and Gas
undertaking.
Fire Service and Insurance requirements.
All electrical wiring MUST comply with the current I.E.E.
regulations for the electrical equipment of buildings. In the
interests of safety, a competent installer should be employed
to effect the installation of the appliance. Manufacturer’s
notes must NOT, in any way, be taken as overriding statutory
obligations.

5 CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
According to the output, the difference between the
temperature of the flue gas and the ambient temperature can
be as much as 160°C. The installer will have to respect all of
the usual precautions (dilution - piping - T for the evacuation
of condensation) in order to prevent deterioration of the
chimney.
CHIMNEY AND FLUE CONNECTIONS
Detailed recommendations, relating to the design of flues for
GAS fired applications are quoted in BS. 6644 abd British
Gas Publication No. IM 11, whilst BS. 5410 Pt. 3 similarly
applies OIL fired burners.

CAUTION: Must be carried out by a qualified professional
7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
As the electrical wiring has been carefully checked in the
factory, the internal connections of the control panel must
not be modified under any circumstances.
The electrical connections of the boiler must conform with
the IEE wiring regulations in force, respecting the indications
which appear on the electrical drawings supplied with the
control panel and the directives given hereafter.
Control panel
All the connections will be made on the connection block
provided for this purpose outside of the panel.
The connection cables may be fed along the inside of the
boiler by the cut-outs which are situated in the upper rear
panel of the boiler, the latter allowing the possible use of
electrical duct which are on general sale.
These cables will be attached to the rear metal sheet of the
panel with the help of cable clamps (7 cable clamps supplied
in a separate bag) fitted to the metal sheet.

Assembly of the SVR sanitary hot water option
The housing of the SVR option has to be mounted on the
front of the control panel. For this purpose:
- Remove the cover with a screwdriver
- Plug the 2 connections into the panel on the rear face of
the housing, blue to blue and red to red
- Introduce the housing from the front and attach it with two
plastic screws situated on the front of the device ( 1/4 turn in
clockwise direction).
