CIRCULATION PUMP SELECTION
The resistance through the heat exchanger when operating
with a water flow rate producing an 11 0C temperature rise
at maximum boiler output are shown in TABLE 2. If other
controls, such as three-position valves are used in the
system, the resistance through them, quoted in their
manufacturer’s literature must be taken into account The
pump may be fitted on either the flow or return and MUST be
wired directly to the boiler terminal block, see FIG. 23. It
must be fitted with two isolating valves which are positioned
as close to the pump as possible. Closing of any valve must
always leave the open vent unobstructed.
TABLE 2
FIG. 5 PRESSURE LOSS ACROSS BOILER
TECHNICAL DATA - Page 8
The System
The boiler must be used on INDIRECT FULLY PUMPED
systems only, which may be sealed or open vented.
The system should be designed so that the maximum
static head does not exceed 30.5m (100ft) and a
minimum of 150mm (6in). See FIG 6.
On all systems the pump should be wired to the boiler
terminal block, it will then be controlled by the pump over-run
thermostat. This will ensure that the pump will continue to
run after boiler shut down if the water temperature is high,
thus preventing nuisance operation of the overheat
thermostat.
It is important that where electrically operated zone valves
are used the boiler is wired so it does not cycle when the
zone valves are closed. Also, systems fitted with controls
that close both hot water and central heating circuits while
the boiler is still hot, must be fitted with a by-pass circuit to
dissipate the residual heat from within the boiler.
If a three port diverter valve is used as shown in FIGS. 6,7 a
by-pass is not necessary since one circuit is always open.
Where a pair of two port valves are used, a by-pass is
necessary. The total length of the by-pass circuit taken from
the boiler connections should be greater than 4 metres of
22mm pipe. It should be fitted with a lockshield valve and be
adjusted to maintain a minimum flow through the boiler of
4.5 litres/mm (1 gal/mm) see FIGS 6, 7.
Systems fitted with controls which allow the boiler to operate
when both the hot water and central heating circuits are
closed i.e. mechanically operated thermostatic control
valves, must be fitted with a by-pass circuit capable of:-
1. Dissipating a minimum of 1 kW (3400 Btu/h).
2. Maintaining a minimum water flow through the boiler of
9 litres/mm (2 gal/mm).
A suggested method of meeting these requirements by using
a bathroom radiator fitted with two lockshield valves is
shown in FIGS. 6, 7.
Additional system information can be found in the Control
Systems, Pipework and Wiring Guide.
Drain off taps should be fitted in the pipework close to the
boiler and in the low points of the system.
NOTE
Although the system can be emptied using the drain off taps
installed in the pipework around the system, to empty the
boiler it is necessary to remove the drain off cap positioned
within the boiler case. See FIG. 2.
SEALED SYSTEMS
Installation
The installation must comply with the requirements of
BS 6798 1987 and BS 5449 Part 1. The B.G. publication
“British Gas Specification for Domestic Wet Central
Heating Systems” should also be consulted.
Safety Valve
A non-adjustable spring-loaded safety valve, preset to
operate at 3 bar (451bf/in2) shall be used. It must comply
with BS 6759 Part 1 and include a manual testing device. It
shall be positioned in the flow pipe either horizontally or
vertically upwards and close to the boiler. No shut-off valves
are to be placed between the boiler and the safety valve.
The valve should be installed into a discharge pipe which
permits the safe discharge of steam and hot water such that
no hazard to persons or damage to electrical components is
caused.
Pressure Gauge
A pressure gauge incorporating a fill pressure indicator,
covering the range 0-4 bar (6Olbf/in2) shall be fitted to the
system. It should be connected to the system, preferably at
the same point as the expansion vessel. Its location should
be visible from the filling point.
Expansion Vessel
A diaphragm type expansion vessel to BS4814 Part 1 shall
be fitted close to the inlet side of the pump. The connecting
pipework should not be less than 15mm (1/2in nominal).
Pipework connecting the expansion vessel should not
incorporate valves of any sort. Methods of supporting the
vessel are supplied by the manufacturer. The nitrogen or air
charge pressure of the expansion vessel shall not be less
than the hydrostatic head (height of the top point of the
system above the expansion vessel). To size the expansion
vessel it is first necessary to calculate the volume of water in
the system in litres. The following volumes may be used as a
conservative guide to calculating the system volume.
Boiler Heat Exchanger: 6.5 litres
Small Bore Pipework: 1 litre per kW of
system output
Micro Bore Pipework: 7 litres
Steel Panel Radiators: 8 litres per kW of
system output
Low Water Capacity Radiators: 2 litres per kW of
system output
Hot water Cylinder: 2 litres
TECHNICAL DATA - Page 9
If the system is extended, the expansion vessel volume may
have to be increased unless previous provision has been
made for the extension. Where a vessel of the calculated
size is not available, the next available larger size should be
used.
The boiler flow temperature is controlled at approximately
82°C.
The vessel size can now be determined from the following
table where V=System volume in litres
Vessel Charge Pressure(bar) 0.5 1.0
Initial System Pressure (bar) 1.0 1.0
Expansion Vessel Volume (litres) V x 0.11 V x 0.087
Cylinder
The hot water cylinder must be an indirect coil type or a
direct cylinder fitted with an immersion calorifier suitable for
operating at a gauge pressure of 0.3 bar (5lbf/in2) in excess
of safety valve setting. Single feed indirect cylinders are not
suitable for sealed systems.
Method of Make-Up
Provision shall be made for replacing water loss from the
system either:—
i) from a make-up vessel or tank mounted in a position
higher than the top point of the system, and connected
through a non-return valve to the system on the return
side of hot water cylinder or the return side of all heat
emitters.
or
ii) where access to a make-up vessel would be difficult by
using the mains top up method or a remote automatic
pressurisation and make-up unit as illustrated in FIG. 7
METHODS 1 and 2.
Mains Connection
There shall be no connection to the mains water supply or to
the water storage tank which supplies domestic water even
through a non-return valve, without the approval of the local
Water Authority.
Filling Point
The system shall be fitted with a filling point at low level
which incorporates a stop valve to BS1 010 and a double
check valve (approved by the National Water Council) to be
fitted in this order from the system mains, Refer to FIG. 7.

Red tube connects the front aluminium tube to the lower
connection on the elbow, each being identified with a red
ring.
FIG. 20 PIPE CONNECTIONS
Connect system pipework to the boiler, compression fittings
should be used. If however capillary fittings are used it is
essential to temporarily remove both of the thermostat bulbs
from the flow pipe before soldering.
A drain off tap should be installed close to the boilerif it is in
a low point of the system. Connect the gas supply pipe to the
inlet of the gas cock. Ensure the gas cock is in a position
where it can be easily operated when the controls cover is
removed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - Page 16
ELECTRICAL
The boiler and all external control circuit wiring must be
supplied from the same single isolating switch or plug and
socket, and should be fused at 3A.
Care must be taken to ensure that all wiring to the boiler
is kept clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces.
FIG. 21 PRINCIPLE OF WIRING
FIG. 22 ACCESS TO THE BOILER ELECTRICAL
TERMINAL BLOCK
The boiler terminal block which is situated in the control box
is not designed to accept wiring from all the on site controls
and therefore the installer will usually need to incorporate a
suitable junction box. This may not be required if a Potterton
Electronic Programmer is used as this incorporates a
junction box. The principle of wiring is shown in FIG. 21.
Further information on wiring of system controls can be
found in the Control System, Pipework and Wiring Guide.
Remove control box securing screw and lower the control
box to gain access to the boiler terminal block.
FIG. 22 ACCESS TO THE BOILER ELECTRICAL Remove
packaging from rear of the control box.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - Page 17
FIG. 23 ROUTING OF ELECTRICAL WIRING
Following the pump manufacturer’s instructions connect the
pump supply wires to terminals marked PUMP LN on the
boiler terminal block. Route the cable through the plastic bush in
the rear of the control box as illustrated in FiG. 23 and secure,
using the cable clamp.
Route a four core cable through the plastic bush in the rear of
the control box and the cable clamp as illustrated in FIG. 23 and
connect it to the boiler input terminals as follows:
Permanent live to terminal marked MAINS ‘L’.
Neutral to terminal marked MAINS ‘N’.
Earth to terminal marked adjacent to cable clamp.
See NOTE.
Switched live from external controls to terminal marked MAINS
‘SwL’.
If there are no external controls fitted connect the SwL terminal
to permanent live in the junction box.
NOTE:
Ensure that the earth conductor is longer than the L, N & SwL
from the point of anchorage, so that the current carrying
conductors become taut before the earth conductor if cable is
pulled out of the cable clamp.
When the wiring has been completed close the control box and
replace the securing screw.
FITTING SIDE INFILL PANELS
If required, the gap between the casing sides and rear wall can
be closed off using the infill panels supplied.
Minimum or maximum rear boiler clearance is catered for by
turning the infill panel. Attach each infill panel to the rear of the
boiler using two pieces of magnetic strip (accessory pack G)
positioned as illustrated.
FIG. 24
COMMISSIONING - Page 18
Open Vented Systems
Remove the pump and flush out the system thoroughly with
cold water. Refit the pump. Fill and vent the system.
Examine for leaks.
Sealed Systems
NOTE:
The system can be filled using a sealed system filler pump
with a break tank or by any other method approved by the
Local Water Authority. Refer to ‘THE SYSTEM’ section Page
8 in these instructions, also BS 6798 1987.
Remove pump and flush out the System thoroughly with cold
water. Refit the pump. Fill and vent the system until the
pressure gauge registers 1.5 bar (21.5 lbf/in2). Examine for
leaks. Raise the pressure until the safety valve lifts. This
should occur within ± 0.3 bar of the preset lift pressure of 3
bar. Release water to attain the correct cold fill pressure, and
set the indicator on the water gauge to this value.
All Systems
The whole of the gas installation including the meter should
be inspected and tested for soundness and purged in
accordance with the recommendations of BS 6891.
Test pilot unions for gas soundness as follows:— Turn boiler
thermostat to the ‘0’ position.
Unplug the gas control valve supply lead from the control
box and plug it into the test socket adjacent to the boiler
thermostat knob, See FIG. 23.
Turn on gas at the gas service cock.
Ensure that the time control if fitted is in an ON condition and
that the room and/or cylinder thermostats where fitted are
set to high temperatures.
Switch on the external electricity supply to the boiler.
Gas will flow to the pilot only. It will not be ignited as the
ignition system is de-energised.
Using a leak detection fluid, check pilot unions for gas
soundness.
Turn off the external electricity supply and gas service cock.
Remove gas control valve plug from the test socket and refit
the plug into the socket on the left hand side of the control
box. See FIG. 23.
Refit the combustion chamber front panel.
Fit the case door into position by lifting it onto the top hinge
brackets and secure it with the lower two fixing screws.
First Lighting
WARNING: Before lighting the boiler, ensure that the CASE
DOOR HAS BEEN CORRECTLY FITTED and that the
sealing strip fitted to the case door is forming a tight seal
with the main boiler casing. Before proceeding to light the
boiler, check that the external electricity supply to the boiler
is switched off and that the boiler thermostat is in the ‘0’
position.
Turn on the gas service cock.
Ensure that the pump and radiator isolating valves are open.
Ensure that the time control, if fitted is in an on condition,
and that the room and/or cylinder thermostats, where fitted
are set to high temperatures.
Switch on the external electricity supply to the boiler.
After installation of the appliance, preliminary electrical
system checks must be carried out. The checks to be carried
out are:—
A. Earth Continuity
B. Short Circuit
C. Polarity
D. Resistance to Earth
Refer to Fault Finding Chart FIG. 30
Turn the boiler thermostat on and to a high setting and after
a period of time the main burner will light, this can be
observed through the sight glass in the front cover of the
boiler. The time period can vary upwards of 45 seconds,
depending on the amount of air in the pipework.
Test for gas soundness around the boiler components using
leak detection fluid.
Turn the boiler thermostat to ‘0’.
NOTE:
There could be a delay in lighting if the control knob is
switched on and off and then on again rapidly
SETTING AND CHECKING OF CONTROLS
With the controls cover removed.
Fit a pressure gauge to the pressure test nipple in burner
supply pipe. See FIG. 2.
Turn on the boiler thermostat and ensure that the main
burner is alight.
Ten minutes after lighting check that the burner pressure is
in accordance with the values stated under TECHNICAL
DATA. On the first main burner ignition of a newly installed
boiler, supplied from a new bulk storage installation, some
noise may be emitted due to air in the pipeline. This noise
may persist on subsequent ignitions for a day or two
according to usage, until any air remaining in the supply
system has been purged.
COMMISSIONING - Page 19
FIG. 25 MAIN BURNER PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Shut down the boiler remove the pressure gauge and refit
the screw in the test nipple ensuring that a tight seal is
made.
Refit the controls cover.
Relight the boiler and heat the system to maximum. Check
for water leaks, turn the boiler off, drain the system whilst
hot.
Refill the system and on sealed systems adjust to the correct
cold fill pressure. Set the pressure gauge pointer to the
system design pressure.
If a by-pass circuit is fitted the by-pass valve should be
adjusted with the boiler operating under minimum load
conditions to maintain sufficient water flow through the boiler
to ensure that the overheat thermostat does not operate
under normal operating conditions.
Pilot Burner
The pilot is pre-set and no adjustment is required. The pilot
flame envelope should cover the electrode tip, see FIG. 29.
If the pilot flame is not as illustrated, remove and clean the
pilot as described in the Servicing Instructions Section 4,
PILOT BURNER, Page 22.
Boiler Thermostat
At its minimum and maximum settings, the thermostat
should control the water flow temperature at approximately
550C—820C (1300F—1800 F).
The thermostat has been calibrated by the makers and no
attempt should be made to re-calibrate it on site. Turn the
thermostat to the ‘0’ position and check that the main burner
shuts down.
Pump Over-Run Thermostat
Will keep the pump running after the boiler has shut down,
as long as the water temperature within the boiler is above
80°C.
The thermostat is preset and no adjustment is possible.
Overheat Thermostat
The overheat thermostat is pre-set and no adjustment is
possible. It will require manually resetting if an overheat
condition occurs. Access to the reset button is through a
hole in the underside of the controls cover, see FIG. 2.
Other Boiler Controls
All boiler mounted controls are designed so that if any fault
should occur they will fail safe. No further setting or checking
is necessary.
External Controls
Check that any other external control connected in the
system, such as clocks and thermostats, control the boiler as
required.
User’s Instructions
A User’s Instructions leaflet is provided with this boiler but
the householder must have the operation of the boiler and
