MAINS SUPPLY
ELECTRIC SUPPLY:
• Supply: 230V - 50Hz.
• Cable: PVC insulated 0.75mm2(24 x
0.2mm) temperature rated to 90°C.
• Protection IP20.
• External 5A fuse to BS1362.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Refer to IEE regulations for cross bonding
requirements.
• It must be possible to isolate the appliance
from the electrical supply with at least a 3mm
contact separation in both poles supplying
the appliance.
• Wiring between the appliance and the
electrical supply must comply with IEE wiring
regulations and any local regulations which
may apply for fixed wiring to a stationary
appliance.
• Any system connected to the boiler must not
have a separate electrical supply.
WATER SUPPLY:
The following are general requirements and if
necessary the advice of the local water company
should be sought before fitting the appliance.
• The appliance cold water supply should be
the first connection off the water main where
possible.
• Maximum mains fed water pressure 10 bar.
If necessary, fit a pressure reducing valve.
IMPORTANT: Non-return, back flow
prevention devices (including those
associated with water meters) fitted to the
mains water supply can cause a pressure
build up which could damage the boiler
and other household appliances.
• Where the water main supply has a non-
return, back flow prevention valve fitted, a
mini expansion vessel (A) must be connected
to the mains water inlet pipe (B) between the
non-return valve (C) and the boiler (D) as
shown opposite.
Use in hard water areas:
Normally there is no need for water treatment to
prevent scale formation as the maximum
temperature of the heat exchanger is limited by
the electronic control circuit.
In areas where the temporary water hardness
exceeds 200ppm, consideration may need to
be given to the fitting of a scale prevention
device. In such circumstances, the advice of
the local water authority should be sought.

OIL SUPPLY
OIL SUPPLY :
•This appliance is suitable for kerosene (28
second oil) only, no other fuel must be used.
• Plastic or steel tanks should be installed to
BS 5410. A steel tank should conform to
BS 799: part 5 and have a slope of 1 in 24
away from the outlet valve with a sludge cock
at its lower end.
• Do not use galvanised steel tanks or
pipework for the oil supply system.
• Do not use soldered joints on the oil
supply pipework.
a) Single pipe gravity feed system:
The oil storage tank (A) must be positioned so
that the oil level does not exceed 4 metres above
the level of the burner oil pump (J) and in addi-
tion the oil level must be at least 300mm above
the oil pump (J). Where the maximum oil level in
the oil storage tank exceeds 4 metres, a head
breaking device must be installed between the
tank (A) and the burner oil pump (J).
b) Double pipe sub-gravity feed system:
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. Non-return
valves must be fitted to the inlet and return oil line
between the oil pump (J) and oil storage tank (A).
c) Single pipe suction lift with de-aerator
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. The oil
tank (A) must be positioned below the oil pump
(J). Create an inlet and return loop between the
de-aerator (M) and oil pump (J).
A non-return valve must be incorporated within
the de-aerator or fitted to the oil line between
the oil storage tank (A) and the de-aerator (M).
A top feed oil tank fitted with a de-aerator
using an internal non-return valve should have
any non-return valves fitted in the base of the
tank to the suction line removed to assist
purging air from the oil line.
Pipework
Use copper pipe of the correct diameter
according to the information shown opposite.
Use flexible hoses to connect to the oil pump (J).
Lay the oil supply pipe (H) as straight and
level as possible to avoid air pockets and
unnecessary friction losses. Route away
from the boiler access door or other hot
surfaces.
Install a manual isolating valve (B) to the oil
supply pipe (H), as close to the oil storage
tank (A) as possible.
Fit an oil strainer and water separator (C) to
the oil supply pipe, near the oil storage tank.
Fit an additional oil filter (N, 16µmmax
filtration size) close to the boiler, but not
inside the boiler casing.
Fit a fire valve in accordance with BS 5410.
The fire valve (D) should be fitted externally
to the building with the fire valve sensor (F)
located within the appliance case.
A fire valve with a shut off temperature of
85°C or higher must be fitted to avoid
the possibility of nuisance shut offs.
A capillary type valve provides a neat and
simple installation. Alternatively, a fusible
link or electrical system may be used.
Under no circumstances should a
combination isolating/fire valve be used
as the sole fire protection device.

• Any plastic pipework used for the CH system
must have a polymeric barrier, complying with
BS 7921 and installed to BS 5955 with
1000mm (minimum) length of copper or steel
pipe connected to the boiler.
• Plastic pipework used for underfloor heating
must be correctly controlled with a
thermostatic blending valve limiting the
temperature of the circuits to approx. 50°C
with 1000mm (minimum) length of copper or
steel pipe connected to the boiler.
PRIMARY SYSTEM/CONNECTIONS/VALVES:
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.
• All system connections, taps and mixing
valves must be capable of sustaining a
pressure of 3 bar.
• Radiator valves should conform to
BS 2767:10.
• All other valves should conform to BS 1010.
• On new installations TRVs must be used on
all radiators except the radiator where the
room thermostat is sited, this must be fitted
with lockshield valves and left open. All
installations should have TRVs fitted to
radiators within the sleeping accommodation.
• An automatic bypass valve must be connected
between the heating flow and return pipes
where TRVs are used on radiators. This must
be fitted to give at least a 3m circuit when
activated.
• Drain cocks are required at all the lowest
points on the system.
• Air vents are required at all high points on the
system.
OPEN VENT PRIMARY SYSTEM:
• In order to comply with BS 5449 the
combined feed and vent pipe must
be connected to the BSP outlet on the
right hand side of the primary heat exchanger.
• The feed and expansion cistern (E) must be
positioned to provide a static head (S) of at
least 1 metre above the highest point in the
heating system to the water level in the feed
and expansion cistern (E).
• No valve shall be fitted in the combined feed
and expansion and open vent pipe (F).
• The combined feed and expansion and open vent
pipe (F) must be at least 22mmØ.
SEALED PRIMARY SYSTEM:
• Where the system volume is more than 180
litres at 0.5 bar or exceeds 2.65 bar at
maximum heating temperature an extra

WATER SYSTEMS & PIPEWORK
FILLING PRIMARY SEALED SYSTEMS:
• Filling the system must comply with one of the
methods shown opposite.
• The filling point must be at low level and must
never be a permanent direct fixing to the
mains water supply.
• Filling links must be WRAS approved.
SHOWERS/BIDETS:
• If a shower head can be immersed in water or
comes closer than 25mm from the top edge
of a bath or shower tray spill over level then
an anti-siphon device must be fitted to the
shower hose.
Only thermostatically controlled showers are
suitable for use with this appliance.
• Bidets with direct hot & cold mains water can
be used (with the approval of the local water
authority) and must be the over rim flushing
type with shrouded outlets to prevent the
fitting of hand held sprays.
DOMESTIC HOT WATER:
•Plastic pipework must not be used for
the DHW system.
• Taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure up to 10 bar in
accordance with the Water Regulations as
they will be operating at mains water pressure.
• Hot water temperature and flow rate are
affected by the size and insulation of pipework
making up the distribution system and are
controlled by the hot water tap and the water
main inlet pressure. A mixing valve can be fitted
if a more permanent setting is required.
• If using more than one outlet at once causes
water flow starvation, fit flow balancing valves
or Ball-O-Fix valves to the appropriate outlets.

CONDENSATE &
PRESSURE RELIEF PIPEWORK
CONDENSATE PIPEWORK:
• All national and, where appropriate, local
regulations for the discharge and neutralisation of
condensate should be followed.
• The condensate pipe must be a minimum of
21.5mmØ polypropylene pipe.
• The condensate pipework must fall at least 50mm
per metre towards the outlet and should take the
shortest practicable route.
• Support the pipe at least every 0.5m for near
horizontal runs and 1m for vertical runs.
• When a boiler is to be installed in an unheated
location, such as a garage, all condensate
pipes should be considered as external.
External pipework:
• The 21.5mmØ pipe must not exceed 3 metres
outside the building. If a run greater than 3m is
required, 32mmØ pipe must be used.
• Any pipe exposed to windchill or extreme cold
must be 32mmØ.
• Protect all external pipes with weather resistant
insulation and box-in, if necessary to reduce the
risk of freezing.
• Terminate as close to the ground or drain as
possible (below the grating and above the
water level) while still allowing for safe
dispersal of the condensate. This will help
reduce windchill freezing.
Connection of a condensate pipe to a drain may be
subject to to local building regulations.
Making it safe:
• Condensate pipework must not leak, freeze or
block up.
• Condensate traps must be filled before starting
up the boiler to prevent potentially harmful flue
products escaping via the condensate route.
• Do not dispose of condensate into water
recovery systems.
Condensate can be discharged into a rain water hop-
per which is part of a sewer system carrying both rain
water and foul water.
• The pipework must follow one of the options
shown opposite:
a - Internal waste drainage system
b - Soil/vent stack
c - External drainage system
d - External condensate absorption point
A - Condensate from the boiler internal
condensate trap which has a 75mm water seal.

FLUE TERMINAL POSITIONS
• Flue terminals must be positioned to avoid
combustion products entering into buildings.
• The flue must be fitted and terminated in
accordance with the recommendations of
BS 5410.
• The flue must not cause an obstruction.
• Discharge from the flue outlet must not be a
nuisance.
• Flue gases have a tendency to plume and in
certain weather conditions a white plume of
condensation will be discharged from the flue
outlet which could be regarded as a
nuisance, for example, near security lighting.
• There should be no restriction preventing the
clearance of combustion products from the
terminal.
• The air inlet/outlet duct and the terminal of
the boiler must not be closer than 25mm to
any combustible material. Detailed
recommendations on protection of
combustible materials are given in BS 5410:1
• A protective terminal guard must be fitted if
the terminal is 2m or less above a surface
where people have access.
The guard must be spaced equally (minimum
50mm) around the flue and fixed to the wall
with plated screws.
Stainless steel terminal guard.
Part No: 7 716 190 050
The following additional guidelines (from part
L Exceptions Guidance Document) are
recommended when determining the flue
outlet position:
• Avoid discharging flue gases into car ports
or narrow passageways.
• *Minimum distance of the flue terminal from
above ground is 2100mm where directed to a
public footpath, private access route or a
frequently used area and 2500mm from a
car parking area.
• **Minimum distance of the flue terminal to a

Notes:
1. Terminals should be positioned so as to avoid products of combustion accumulating in stagnant pockets around the building or
entering into buildings.
2. Vertical structure in N, O and P includes tank or lift rooms, parapets, dormers etc.
3. Terminating positions should be at least 1.8m from an oil storage tank unless a wall with at least 30 min fire resistance and
extending 300mm higher and wider than the tank is provided between the tank and the terminating position.
4. Where a flue is terminated less than 600mm away from a projection above it and the projection consists of plastics or has a
combustible or painted surface, then a heat shield of at least 750mm wide should be fitted.
5. If the lowest part of the terminal is less than 2m above the ground, balcony, flat roof or other place to which any person has
access, the terminal should be protected by a guard.
6. Notwithstanding the dimensions given above, a terminal should not be sited closer than 300mm to combustible material. In the
case of a thatched roof, double this separation distance should be provided. It is also advisable to treat the thatch with a fire
retardant material and close wire in the vicinity of the flue.
7. It is essential that a flue or chimney does not pass through the roof within the shaded area delineated by dimensions Q and R.
8. Where protection is provided for plastic components, such as guttering, it is essential that this is to the standard specified by the
manufacturer of the plastic components.

• Open (conventional) flued appliances must
not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or
bedsitting room.
• The flue system must be in accordance with
BS 5410 : Part 1 and the current Building
Regulations.
• The flue must be constructed of materials
suitable for use with condensing combustion
products.
• External flue systems must be of the insulated
type.
• Brick and masonry chimneys must be lined
with a suitable non-combustible material and
properly jointed to withstand the effects of
the working temperature (minimum rating of
material 120°C) of the appliance and any
condensate which may form.
• All flue joints must be sealed to prevent the
leakage of condensate and combustion
products.
• Ensure that joints are made so that the
condensate runs away and is not collected
within the joint.
NOTE: The flue can be increased in size from
the boiler take off point providing the joint is
correctly sealed. Never reduce the flue diameter
from the boiler take off point.
CF Sizing:
• 12/18 and 18/25 = 100/103mmØ
25/32 = 130mmØ*
*Unless installing Worcester Greenstar
Oilfit Conventional 100mmØ Flexible flue.
• Because the flue operates at a lower
temperature on a condensing boiler
compared to that of a conventional
appliance, the flue draught will be lower.
Typically the draught will be between
0.5mmwg and 4.4mmwg, measured with the
flue warm but the burner not firing. The actual
figure will vary depending on weather
conditions, flue height and position.
• The flue should be vertical and contain as few
bends as possible, a maximum of two 135°
bends should be used.
• The flue outlet must be extended beyond the
eaves of the building and where possible,
above the apex.
• Fit a suitable anti down-draught terminal
where down draughts are experienced.

• To achieve the maximum flue length (L), a flue
section will have to be reduced in length.
• Only the flue terminal or straight flue
extensions can be reduced in length by
cutting.
• The flue terminal end can be fitted from the
inside or outside of the building.
IMPORTANT: All horizontal sections must
rise away from the boiler by 52mm per
metre (3°) to allow the condensate to
drain back to the boiler.
A - Horizontal terminal
B - Straight flue extension
C - Flue bend 90°
D - Flue bend 45°

Calculating the flue length:
Measure the total flue length required, noting
that the maximum straight flue length including
the terminal is:
Horizontal 80/125mmØ: 4000mm (excluding
120mm of terminal extending outside the building)
Vertical 80/125mmØ: 6000mm (measured from
the boiler top panel).
Then reduce the total straight flue length for
each extra flue bend (excluding the vertical flue
kit 90° elbow) by:
1000mm for 90°
500mm for 45°
Flue Extension lengths:
Horizontal & Vertical 80/125mmØ: 1000mm

straps. If a sharp implement is used make
sure the outer carton is not pierced and that
the implement is used in such a way so that
it may not cause personal injury. All sharp
objects must be covered or the blade
retracted after use and put away in a safe
place.

PIPEWORK POSITIONS:
A to H (opposite) show the flue and pipe positions:
A - CH flow 22mmØ copper (28mmØ on
25/32kW model)
B - DHW flow 22mmØ copper
C - DCW mains water inlet 15mmØ
D - CH return 22mmØ copper (28mmØ on
25/32kW model)
E - Optional combined feed and expansion and
open vent pipe 1'' BSP
F - Flue outlet
G - Pressure relief pipe 15mmØ
J - Condensate outlet 21.5mmØ
NOTE: For servicing purposes, keep the
condensate and pressure relief
discharge pipes away from
components and pipework
connections.
FLUE OPENING:
Follow the diagram opposite to mark the
centre of the flue (1, & 2) for rear opening,
(2 & 3) for side opening or
(1 & 4) for top opening.
** IMPORTANT: for horizontal flues, increase
this height by 52mm for every 1000mm of
horizontal length that the flue opening is
away from the boiler.
NOTE: All horizontal flue sections must rise
away from the boiler by 52mm per metre
to ensure that condensate flows back into
the boiler for safe discharge via the
condensate waste pipe.
Make an opening (X, Y or Z) through the wall
using a core drill or similar at a size relative to
the wall thickness as shown below:
125mmØ flue:
Wall thickness Flue hole size
150 - 240mm 155mmØ
240 - 330mm 160mmØ
