| Installation Recirculation pump/DHW recirculation lines 6 Installation DANGER: Explosion! ▶ Close the gas cock prior to working on the gas train. ▶ Check for gas leaks after carrying out work on the gas train. Installation, power connection, connection on the gas and flue gas side and commissioning must only be carried out by a contractor certified for such work by the state or local jurisdiction or the local gas or power utility.
Installation | 31 Water Chemistry Guidelines NOTICE: Insufficient antifreeze can accelerate corrosion. ▶ Follow manufacturer's instructions on antifreeze concentration. ▶ Frost protection level has to be checked annually during the regular scheduled maintenance of the condensing boiler. NOTICE: System damage! ▶ It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the heating system is compatible with the boiler type and size installed. ▶ pH-value of the heating water to be kept between 7 and 8.5.
| Installation 6.2 Comparing the size of the integrated expansion vessel (KWB-3A boiler only) The following diagrams allow verifying that the integrated expansion vessel has sufficient capacity for the intended application, or if an additional expansion vessel is needed (not for radiant floor heating). 6.3 KBR..-3A appliances (heating boilers): Selecting an expansion vessel External expansion vessel ▶ Determine size of the expansion vessel.
Installation | 33 6.5 Low Loss Header (LLH) utilization A Low Loss Header is primarily used on systems that require higher flow rate (gpm) requirements that exceed the flow rate (gpm) of the low mass heat exchanger. Typically systems that require additional zone pumps that are external to the appliance or exceed the single zone limitation of 4.5 gpm would require the low loss header. A Low Loss Header is used to achieve hydraulic separation between the appliance and system piping.
| Installation 6.6 Locating the appliance NOTICE: Residue, metal shavings, and contaminants in the piping can damage the appliance. ▶ Flush the piping thoroughly and completely to remove all residue. ▶ Follow the instructions with respect to water quality ( Chapter 6.1, page 30). ▶ Remove packaging, observing all notes and symbols. ▶ On the rating plate, check the identification of the target country and suitability for the gas type supplied by the local gas utility company ( page 8).
Installation | 35 6.7 Installing a low water cut off (LWCO) The boiler is equipped with several sensors that prevent firing or running the boiler in case of low water pressure or low water levels. Nevertheless code may require the installation of a separate low water cut off (LWCO) device. The boiler is equipped with a dedicated port for installation of a LWCO device on the supply pipe on the back of the boiler cabinet. This location represents the minimum water level for safe operation of the boiler.
| Installation 6.8 Connecting flue gas accessories 2 Optional vent systems are: • Twin pipe PVC / CPVC 2" / 3" • Twin pipe PP 2” (50mm) / 3" (80 mm) (M&G Duravent PolyPro and Centrotherm InnoFlue) • Concentric PP 3" / 5" (80/125 mm) (Bosch) 1 4 3 Using the twin pipe adaptor: The twin pipe adaptor is supplied with the boiler kit as standard and is certified as a part of the vent system.
Installation | 37 NOTICE: Vent connectors ▶ Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure. 2 NOTICE: Burner damage! ▶ Avoid drawing in combustion air excessively loaded with dust or airborne particles.
| Installation Vent termination must be at least 1 foot (305 mm) above grade, anticipated snow line or roof surface (Canada 1-1/2 feet (457 mm) minimum) ( fig. 31 [YA], page 40). All PVC/CPVC vent pipes must be glued, except for the flue gas adapterpipe connection. The exhaust pipe must be properly supported and pitched a minimum of ¼ inch (6.35 mm) per foot back to the boiler. This allows the condensate to properly drain.
