6 Installation Requirements
1. Installation Requirements
1.1 Gas Supply
The meter and supply pipes must be capable of delivering
thisquantityofgasinadditiontothedemandfromanyother
appliances in the house and must be governed at the
meter.
On 90 & 100 models, due to the gas flow rate required,
22mm gas supply pipe should be used up to the inlet
connection of the gas cock on the boiler.
Thecompleteinstallationmustbe tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in BS6891.
1.2 Electricity Supply
230V ~ 50Hz via a fused double pole switch with a contact
separation of at least 3 mm in both poles adjacent to the
boiler. Power consumption is approximately 80W. There
must be only one common isolator for the boiler and its
control system and it must provide complete electrical
isolation. A plug (if fitted) must be accessible to the user
after installation of the appliance.
Fuse the supply at 3 A. The minimum requirement for the
power supply cable is that it should be a PVC sheathed
cord at least 0.75 mm² (24 x 0.2 mm) (code designation
HO5 VV-F or HO5 VVH2-F) as specified in table 16 of
BS6500:1984.
All wiring external to the boiler shall comply with the latest
IEE Wiring Regulations, and any local regulations which
apply.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
In the event of an electrical fault after installation of the
boiler, preliminary electrical systems checks must be
carried out i.e. Earth Continuity, Short Circuit, Polarity and
Resistance to Earth.
1.3 Location of Boiler
Theboileris not suitable for external installation.Theboiler
must stand firm and level. No special floor protection is
needed,butfinisheswhichsoftenwhenwarme.g.linoleum
and plastic floor tiles should be removed or may be
protected by an insulating sheet at least 10mm thick.
The boiler must be installed so that the flue terminal is
exposed to the external air. It is important that the position
of the terminal allows the free passage of air across it at all
times.
The boiler is suitable for installation against a combustible
wall e.g. wood cladding, provided that the flue duct is not
closer than 25 mm to combustible material. A metal sleeve
should be installed to surround the flue duct to provide a
25mm annular space. Further guidance is given in
BS5440:1:2000,sub-clause 4.4.
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber framed building
it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas
Engineers document IGE/UP/7/1998 (also, British Gas
Service publication Part 19 - Building and Kitchen Work).
If in doubt advice must be sought from Potterton.

1.4 Air Supply
The air requirements must meet BS 5440 Part 2.
Theroom in which the boiler is installedmust be ventilated.
Ventilation of the room containing the boiler shall include
air for combustion and correct operation of the flue (ie
Draught Diverter dilution).
A permanent air vent shall be provided in an outside wall
of the building either at high or low level in accordance with
Table 1.
The opening may be:
a) Directly into the room or space containing the boiler
or indirectly via an opening of at least the same
area.
b) Via a duct either directly into the room or space or
indirectly via an opening of at least the same free
area.
Where air is drawn indirectly from outside through more
than two air vents refer to BS 5440 Part 2.
Where an extraction fan is fitted in the room containing the
boiler, special ventilation requirements must be
implemented. Refer to BS 5440 Part 2.
Any grille and/or duct should be so sited and of a type not
to become easily blocked or flooded and should offer low
resistance to airflow.
If the boiler is installed in a compartment, permanent air
vents are required in the compartment, one at high level
and one at low level (Table 2), either direct to the outside
air or to a room.
Both high level and low level air vents must communicate
with the same room or must be on the same wall to outside
air.

1.5 Flue Systems
A flue system (lined throughout its length) must be
provided to evacuate the flue products of combustion
from the boiler. Reference should be made to the
building regulations and BS 5440:1. and the flue
system efficiency should be checked in accordance
with BS 5440.
Ideally a flue should rise vertically and any terminal or
terminationpoint shallbepositionedsothatcombustion
products can disperse safely at all times. Therefore
forpracticalpurposes,theflueshouldhavetheshortest
possible run to external atmosphere, with as near
verticalriseaspossible,90°bendsshouldbeavoided.
The terminal must be at least above roof level and of
a type approved by British Gas.
To achieve the best perfomance from the boiler there
should be at least 600 mm of vertical flue from the
boiler flue socket. If this is not achievable, a 125 mm
fluesizeshould be used irrespective of theboilersize.
Horizontal runs should be avoided, however if a near
horizontal flue run is unavoidable, the total vertical
height necessary should be calculated in accordance
with BS 5440:1.
If an existing chimney is used, ensure that it is
thoroughly swept before lining or connecting the
boiler. The liner must have an internal diameter of
100mm for the 40 to 60 models and 125mm for the 70
to 100 models.
Care should be taken to avoid condensation in the
flue.
Inthecase ofapre-linedchimney, itmustbeconnected
to the socket of the boiler flue hood with a length of
purpose made flue.

1.4 Air Supply
The air requirements must meet BS 5440 Part 2.
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require a
purpose provided air vent.
If the boiler is installed in a compartment, permanent air
vents are required in the compartment, one at high level
and one at low level, either direct to the outside air or to a
room. Both high level and low level air vents must
communicate with the same room or must be on the same
wall to outside air. Both the high level and low level vent
must each have a combined free area in accordance with
Table 3.
If the boiler is installed in a compartment with a door, allow
atleast25mmclearancebetweenthe front of the boiler and
the door for air movement.
1.5 Flue Systems & Terminal Location

• Where a horizontal flue is sited less than 2m
above a balcony, above ground, or above a flat
roof to which people have access, a suitable
terminal guard must be fitted. This serves two
purposes, to protect the terminal against damage
or interference and to protect passers-by. A
terminal guard is available (Sales Code:
PTERMGUARDEF), this should be fitted centrally
about the terminal.
Note: Where a flue terminal is installed less than
1 metre from a plastic, or painted gutter, or 500
mm from painted eaves, an aluminium shield 1
metre long, should be fitted to the underside of the
gutter or painted surface. A suitable wall plate
should be fitted to the painted wall surface of a
mobile home.
• IMPORTANT: It is absolutely ESSENTIAL, to
ensure that products of combustion discharging
from the terminal cannot re-enter the building, or
any other adjacent building, through ventilators,
windows, doors, natural air infiltration, or forced
ventilation/air conditioning. If products of
combustionarefound to bere-enteringany building,
the appliance MUST be turned OFF
IMMEDIATELY.
