Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. In IE by a Registered Gas
Installer (RGII).
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate
of gas supply required.
It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gas
installation pipework in accordance with BS6891:2005. Whilst
the principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures the Logic range is
able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures as low as 14mb,
other gas appliances in the property may not be as tolerant.
When operating pressures are found to be below the minimum
meter outlet of 19mb these should be checked to ensure this is
adequate for correct and safe operation.
Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across the
installation pipework, it can be assumed that a minimum permitted
operating pressure of 18mb will be delivered to the inlet of
the appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2 Pressure
Absorption).
The external gas cock could further reduce the operating pressure
when measured at its test point. The pressure drop is relative to
the heat input to the boiler (kW), refer to graph below.

IMPORTANT.
Installation pipes must be tted in accordance with BS.6891. In IE
refer to IS.813:2002.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness and
purged as described in the above code.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where this
could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The ue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2008.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specied in Table 4.
* Only one reduction down to 25mm is allowable per installation
otherwise BS5440-1 2008 dimensions must be followed.

4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is tted less than 2m
(6’6”) above a balcony, above ground or above a at roof
to which people have access then the terminal MUST be
protected by a purpose designed guard.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC ue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In case
of difculty contact:
TFC Group Ltd. Tel. + 44 (0) 01732 351 680

Ensure that the guard is tted centrally.
5. The ue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to prevent
ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler
MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1”) to combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible
material are given in BS. 5440-1:2008.
IMPORTANT. It is essential to ensure, in practice, that products
of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter the
building or buildings through any openings into the building such
as ventilators, windows, doors, or other sources of natural air
inltration, such as forced ventilation openings etc.
If products of combustion re-entry is identied or suspected this
should be immediately investigated and corrected following the
guidance provided in the current Gas Industry Unsafe Situation
Procedure.
