1.1.10. WATER CONNECTIONS
DANGER
Make sure that the tubes of the water and
heating unit are not used as grounding system for the
electrical unit. There are not suitable for such use.
WARNING
To prevent voiding the warranty and to
ensure the proper operation of the boiler, wash the unit
(if possible when hot) with suitable descaling solution to
remove the impurities coming from tubes and radiators.
WARNING
If the boiler is installed in a hydrostatic
position lower than those of the user devices (radiators,
fan coils, etc.), mount the shut-off valves on the domestic
water heating circuit to ease the performance of the
maintenance operations if necessary to only empty the
boiler.
WARNING
When connecting the equipment to water
supply, avoid excessive bending and recovery operations
from improper positioning that may damage the tubes
causing leaks, malfunction or premature wear.
WARNING
In order to avoid any vibrations and noises, do
not use tubes with small diameters or elbows with small
radius and significant cut-off of the passage sections.
DOMESTIC CIRCUIT
In order to prevent limestone build-up and damages
to the domestic water heat exchanger, the hardness
of the domestic supply water should not exceed 8.4°
dh (degrees hardness). However, please check the
characteristics of the water used and install suitable
treating devices.
The heat exchanger coil cleaning frequency depends
on the hardness of the supply water and on the
presence of solid residues or impurities inside
the water that are often present in case of recently
installed plants. Based on the characteristics of
the inlet water, you should install suitable water
treatment devices, for residues presence. Please
install an inline filter.
The pressure of the cold inlet water should be
between 7.2 psi (0.5 bar) and 150 psi (10.34 bar). In
case of greater pressure values, please install a
pressure reducer upstream from the boiler.Please
refer to local jurisdictions on the requirements for
cold inlet water pressure.
HEATING CIRCUIT
In order to avoid any scale or deposits on the primary
exchanger, the hardness of the heating circuit inlet
water should not exceed 14° dh (degrees hardness).
However, please check the characteristics of the
water used and install suitable treatment devices.
To protect the central heating system from damaging
corrosion, flakes or deposits it is important to clean
the hydronic system using cleaners such as Fernox F3
Cleaner. For long term protection against corrosion
and deposits, the use of inibitor (such as Fernox F1
inhibitor) is required after cleaning and flushing of
the hydronic system. It is important to monitor the
concentration of the inibitor during commisioning and
during servicing of unit.
WARNING
Failure to clean the central heating system
or add adequate inibitor invalidates the compliance
warranty.
Connect the boiler safety drains (heating circuit safety
valve) to a discharge funnel. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any floods due to safety valve opening
in case of unit excessive presure build up.
WARNING
In case the boiler is installed as part of a low
temperature circuit, please install a safety thermostat
on the heating flow, which can stop the boiler activity
in case of high heating flow temperature. The company
assumes no liability for damage caused to persons or for
failure to comply with these instructions.

relief valves.
10. If after performing these operations you
observe a decrease of the water pressure
inside the system, open once again the loading
tap “R” until the pressure gauge indicates the
value of 1.2 bar (fig. 13)
1.1.13. FILLING THE CONDENSATE
COLLECTION SIPHON
Before starting the boiler you have to fill the
condensate collection siphon in order to avoid flue
back up through the siphon.
Fill the condensate collection siphon as follows
(see fig. 14):
› Unscrew the “T” cap from the siphon, fill three
quarters of the the siphon with water and screw
the “T” cap back in;
› Connect the dedicated flexible condensate
draining tube “P” to a waste disposal system.
The condensate can be drained directly in the
sewer system by inserting an easily serviceable
siphon.
WARNING
After the first months of boiler operation,
it is recommended to clean the condensate trap, to
eliminate possible deposits coming from the first
flow of the condensate inside the boiler technical
components. These deposits could cause a
malfunctioning of the trap.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
The boiler produces a significant amount of
condensate during operation. This condensation
has an acidic pH of 3-5. Follow all local codes and
regulations when disposing of condensate from
the boiler.
The project engineer should consider the
possibility of installing systems to eliminate the
acidic condensation, according to system power
and buildings’ use.
The system should be designed to avoid
the condensate freezing. Before the boiler
commissioning, check the correct condensate
flow.
WARNING
Check before connecting the condensate
trap to the drain pipe, for the proper
gradient of boiler as described in paragraph “1.1.8
POSITIONING AND MINIMAL TECHNICAL SPACES”.
WARNING
Properly connect the siphon condensate
from the boiler to a drain system having adequate
slope. Where possible, you should make this
connection using transparent tubing to check for
proper condensate drainage and avoid stagnation that
could cause hazardous backflow of the condensate
into the boiler.
To connect the condensate drain use only
corrosion-resistant material for the drain line.
CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZER KIT
The condensate neutralization system neutralizes
the condensate created by the products of
combustion.
Acid condensate, introduced into the neutralization
box, follows a two-step set course. First phase:
nitrates and sulphates filtration through active
carbons contained in the first part of the carbon
site pipe. In the second phase the pH rises.
The acidity of the condensate can be controlled
through the use of appropriate tools for the
determination of Ph, such as the litmus paper.
Neutralized condensate can then be routed to the
drainage system.
MAINTENANCE
The pH value of the condensate after the neutralizer
must be in between <5,5 – 9,5>.
Every six months, you need to determine the pH of
the condensate treated in the neutralizer. Litmus
paper or a digital instrument can be used to
measure the pH level.
Neutral point is on the 6,8-7 value; in case of lower
value the condensate is acid, in case of a higher
value it is basic.
If necesssary, replace the active carbon and the
reagent granulate.
