8.1 Initial Preparation
Check Site Requirements (section 7.0) before commencing.
The gas supply, gas type and pressure must be checked for
suitability before connection (see Section 7.4).
NOTE: If the boiler is to be pre-plumbed, follow both
these instructions and those on the boiler pack.
1. Remove the fixing template (Fig. 14) from the fixing
carton.
2. Position the template on the wall ensuring it is level both
horizontally and vertically.
3. Mark the position of the top centre hole for the wallplate.
4. Mark the condensate discharge pipe area.
5. Mark the centre of the flue hole (rear exit).
For side exit: project the horizontal side flue centre line into
the corner of the room and along the wall to where the flue
hole will be drilled (Fig. 14).
The diagram (Fig.14a) shows the dimensions required to
ensure any horizontal flue is installed with the correct fall to
the boiler. Mark the offset (V) dimension and if required,
mark the position of the gas and water pipes. Remove the
template.
6. Cut the hole for the flue (preferably with a 125mm/5”
diameter core boring tool), ensuring that the hole is drill at
approx 3° up from the horizontal. Both wall faces
immediately around the cut hole should be flat.
7. Drill and plug the wall as previously marked. Secure the
wallplate to the wall by the top centre hole.
8. Ensuring the wallplate is level both horizontally and
vertically, drill and plug the remaining 4 securing positions at
the top and bottom through the wallplate. Utilising the slots
available ensure the wallplate is square and secure to the
wall.
9. Connect the gas,water and the pressure relief discharge
pipes to the valves on the support bracket using the
compression fittings supplied.
10. Loosely route the condensate discharge pipe to the area
previously marked.
8.2 Flushing
1. Insert a tube into the valve outlet furthest from the filling
loop (Fig. 15).
2. Flush thoroughly (see System Details, Section 6.0).

Distance in metres from boiler to the wall.
For pipe lengths greater than 4m increase the off-set by 52mm
for every additional metre to maintain approx 3° inclination.

EXAMPLE: Boiler is 2 metres away
from corner of wall, flue duct hole is
110mm up from horizontal side flue
