SECTION 4 - gENEral INSTallaTION rEquIrEmENTS
4.4 AIR SUPPLY
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither is
it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which the
boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperature of the boiler
casing during operation.
4.5 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
WARNING
This appliance MUST be earthed.
Wiring external to the boiler MUST be in accordance with the
correct IEE Regulations and any local regulations.
Theboilerhasbeenpre-ttedwitha3ampfusedapproved
moulded3pinplugandyinglead,forusewith230V50Hz.
The plug should be used with an unswitched/shuttered socket
outlet complying with BS1363.
4.6 GAS SUPPLY
A propane gas supply at 37mbar is required.
Ensurethatregulatorisofsufcientcapacitytocarrythe
maximum boiler input plus the full demand for any other installed
appliances.
Ensure the connection between supply/cylinder to caravan holiday
home or park home is designed so that no pressure drop occurs.

the installation is subjected to the anticipated maximum load.
IMPORTANT
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness.
4.7 CONDENSATE DRAIN
A condensate drain is provided on this boiler.
The drain MUST be connected to an approved drainage point.
AllpipeworkandttingsMUSTbemadeofplastic.Noother
materials may be used.
Suitable protection against freezing should be undertaken.
4.8 WATER SYSTEMS - GENERAL
This boiler is designed for connections to fully pumped sealed
system only.
IMPORTANT - A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe
MUSTbettedtobothcentralheatingandDHWowandreturn
connections from the boiler before connection to any plastic piping.
Central Heating System
IMPORTANT-Thesealedcentralheatingsystemmustbelled
at all times with an antifreeze / inhibitor and water mix that is
compatible with aluminium heat exchangers. The concentration
levelsoftheantifreeze/inhibitorshouldbeatleast25%inorder
to provide adequate corrosion protection. This level also provides
protection against frost from -7.5ºC to -11ºC (depending on the
product used). The maximum allowable level of antifreeze /
inhibitorisaround40%.
The only products approved are as follows:
- Fernox Alphi 11
- Sentinel X500
Failure to use these products may result in damage to the boiler
and / or the radiators in the heating system.

connection is shown in the dimensions and connection details.
The discharge pipework must be suitable for use with 3bar water
at 110ºC without damage to property and persons.
The run and exit point of the pipework should not leave a hazard
or be prone to freezing up.
4.12 DHW SYSTEMS
