55 GAS V ALVE REPLACEMENT
Check
1 Disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Remove the front casing panel.
3 Disconnect the connector A and check the elec trical
resistance of the coil referring to the following diagram
O n --- o f f o p e r a t o r
approx. 4 180 Ω*
* at ambient temperature.
4 If the resistance of the coil is different from the value
stated by ±10% or greater, replace the unit as described
below.

5 Turn off the gas supply at the gas service cock and
disconnect the electricity supply.
6 Remove the front casing panel (refer to frame 42).
7 Disconnect the connector s A and B.
8 Disconnect the earth wiring from the gas valve.
9 Unscrew the connecto rs C and remove the pipe D
10 Unscre w the inlet connec tor.
11 Unscrew the screws E and remove the valve.
12 Fit the new gas valve in reverse order ensuring new

1 Disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Remove the front and right hand side casing panels (refer
to frame 42).
3 Release system pressure by opening the main circuit
drainage cock A
Do not release CH pressure using the pressure relief
valve. It may cause debris within the system to foul
the valve.
4 Remove the fork B and the probe holder spring C.

57 EXPANSION VESSEL REPLACEMENT
If the CH expansion vessel is faulty, there are 2 options:
A If it has a punctured diaphragm, but is otherwise leak free,
thanitcanbeleftinplaceandanewvesseladdedtothe
return side of the system, external to the boiler, provided it
is of adequate capacity and pre--- charge pressure.
B If there is at least 400 mm (16”) clearance above the
boiler, the expansion vessel can be changed without
removing the boiler (rear exit flues will have to be
disturbed).
For option B, proceed as follows:
1 Disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Gain access to the controls area by removing the boiler
front panel (refer to frame 42).
3 Close off the isolating cocks of the CH circuit at the
bottom of the boiler.
4 Release system pressure by opening the main circuit
drainage cock.
Do not release CH pressure using the pressure relief
valve. It may cause debris within the system to foul
the valve.
5 Completely unscrew the connection A, the locknut B and
remove the expansion vessel from the top of the boiler.
