CO Detection for cascade flues systems 

 

Bosch has taken the decision to require the mandatory use of CO detection for boiler systems using a cascade flue system where there is 

more than one appliance. CO detection must result in a boiler shut off and prevent CO exposure. 

 

With our GC 7000 WP range, all Bosch Cascade base flue kits contain a CO detector for on-site wiring into our CC8313 controller or 

MC400 Cascade controller, where these controllers are not used due to controls from a BMS system it is still a requirement that the BMS 

has some form of CO detection thus activating a boiler shut off. The detection threshold level should be no higher than 50ppm. 

 

Failure to fit a form of CO detection to a Cascade will result in a failed commissioning. 

 

For more information on CO detection please see technical bulletin: TB 0164 a (07/2022) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions for more information on flue requirements.
