Installation Instructions
Singular Combi Boiler - BTC 439003301 B (2021/07)
4 System Piping
Before connecting the pipes to the boiler, clean all systems to remove sediment,
fl ux, solder, scale, debris, or other impurities that may be harmful to the boiler
system. It is important to maintain the inside of the pipes free of debris, copper
dust, sand, and dirt while installing the heating system.
When installing the Singular boiler and keeping the existing pipes, all pipes
including the radiator should be cleaned.
NOTICE: PRODUCT DAMAGE
If you fail to remove the above-mentioned contaminants
from the heating system, your warranty will be void, the heat
exchange will break down faster than normal, and property
damage may occur as a result.
4.1 Installing a Space Heating System
The primary heat exchanger and secondary heat exchanger of Singular boiler are
designed optimally to obtain high thermal effi ciency. The primary heat exchanger
is confi gured in the fi nned tube method and the secondary heat exchanger is
confi gured in the plate to plate method, maximizing the heating surface area to
achieve high thermal effi ciency. In order to allow the heat exchanger to operate
eff ectively over time without trouble, it is important to follow the rules and
guidelines mentioned in this section.
WARNING: FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE
If you fail to follow the guidelines provided in this section,
your warranty will be void and property damage, fire,
serious injury, or death may occur as a result.
4.1.1 Guidelines for a Space Heating System
Read the guidelines below for installing the boiler heating system safely and
properly.
Freeze Protection for the Space Heating System
Freeze protection products may be used to prevent the
space heating system from becoming frozen. A specially manufactured
glycol is necessary for preventing a new or existing piping system from
becoming frozen. This glycol should include inhibitors not harmful to
metallic system components.
Before using freeze protection products, it is necessary
to check if the amount of glycol use in the space heating water is
appropriate and if the inhibitor level in such glycol
is appropriate. Bosch recommends against exceeding a 35%
concentration of glycol.
If freeze protection products are used, the system should be tested at
least once a year.
When using the freeze protection products, allowance should be made for
expansion of the glycol solution.
Freeze damage is not covered by the warranty.
NOTICE: PRODUCT DAMAGE
For a system requiring freeze protection, use only inhibited
propylene glycol, specially formulated for hydronic heating
systems; use of other types of antifreeze may be harmful to
the system and will void the warranty.
System Pressure
Singular boiler is intended solely for use in a pressurized closed loop
heating system operating with 12-30psi water pressure at the boiler
outlet. To obtain the minimum system design pressure, comply with the
piping diagram in this section.
The space heating system of Singular boiler is not approved to operate
as an “open system”, and thus cannot be used for direct potable water
heating or to process heating of any kind.
Air Elimination
This boiler can be installed only in a pressurized closed-loop heating system free of
air and other impurities.
Install a proper-sized air-purging device at a proper position to eliminate air from
the entire heating system.
4.1.2 Essential Elements in a Space Heating System
Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) Device
Internal LWCO
- The Singular boiler is equipped with a factory-installed,
pressure-sensing type low water cutoff (LWCO) device. The minimum
operating pressure of this device is 7.1psig.
Refer to local codes to determine if a LWCO device is required for your system
and ensure that the built-in device meets the requirements.
External LWCO
- Install LWCO if it is required by local code.
The following fi gure shows an example of general LWCO installation.

NOTE: LWCO installed outside
should be installed at least
6 inches (150mm) or more
away from the end of the
heat exchanger.
Back
fl
ow Preventer
When fi lling the device with water, install a backfl ow preventer if it is required by
local code.
