4.5. Installation (authorised personnel only)
Accessories and spare parts for installation and service procedures are to be supplied by the Manufacturer. Under no
circumstances should parts that are not type tested and approved by the manufacturer be used for service or repair of
fondital appliances.
4.5.1. Packaging
Boiler is shipped in a sturdy cardboard box. Remove boiler from cardboard box and check its integrity.
The packing materials can be recycled and should be disposed of at an appropriate waste collection site.
Keep packaging out of reach of
children, as it may be dangerous.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for harm to people and/or animals, and/or damage to property due to failure in following the
above mentioned instructions.
Packaging includes:
- copper pipe kit for boiler connection to the gas mains, to the CH system and DHW system
(fig.10);
- four isolating valves: one for gas, one for heating flow, one for heating return and one
for cold water supply (fig.10);
- a bag containing:
a) boiler installation, use and maintenance manual;
b) boiler wall mounting template (fig. 8);
c) two ‘L’ Shaped hanging screws and wall plugs for fixing the boiler to the wall;
d) one closing plate for split pipe aperture with gaskets.
e) Benchmark commissioning booklet.
f) air intake diaphragm.
4.5.2. Installing the boiler
Before connecting the boiler to the CH and DHW systems, clean primary pipe work carefully. Prior to operating a NEW system,
eliminate any metallic deposit during manufacturing and soldering process, and any oil or grease deposits, which might
get into the boiler and damage it or affect operation. Prior to operating an UPGRADED system (addition of radiators, boiler
replacement, etc.), clean it thoroughly to remove all sludge and foreign particles.
Clean the system using a non-acid propriety brand product. Do not use solvents as they could damage the components
of the system. In the (new or upgraded) central heating system, it is always advisable to add to the water, in a suitable
concentration, a corrosion inhibiting product for use in multi-metal systems to produce a protective film on internal metal
surfaces. The Manufacturer can not be held liable for injury to people or animals or damage to property resulting from failure
to follow the above instructions.
Proceed as follows to install the boiler:
• Fix the template (fig. 8) onto the wall.
• Drill two 12 mm Ø holes in the wall to accommodate the boiler bracket wall plugs.
• Arrange air intake/flue gas system in the wall as needed.
• Screw in the L shaped hanging hooks to the wall.
• Position the gas supply fitting (G), the mains water fitting (CWI), the DHW flow fitting (DHW), the CH flow fitting (F) and the CH return fitting (R)
as shown on the template (refer to the lower part).
• Ensure that a suitable material discharge pipe is supplied for relieving the 3-bar safety valve.
• Hang the boiler on the L shaped fixings fixed onto the wall
• Connect the boiler to the mains pipes using the kit supplied with the boiler (refer to subsections 4.5.4.).
• Drill and secure the bottom of the boiler to the wall through the holes in the base of the side panels.
• Connect the boiler to the air intake and flue gas exhaust system (refer to subsections 4.5.5; 4.6.1; 4.6.2).
• Connect the power supply, room thermostat (optional) and other accessories (refer to subsections 4.7.; 4.8. and 4.9.).
4.5.3. Gas main connection
The gas installation should be in accordance with the relevant standards. In GB this is BS 6891.
Gas supply pipe cross-section must be equal or greater than boiler gas pipe.
Cross-section gas pipe size calculation depends on its length, layout pattern, gas flow rate. Gas pipe size is to be dimensioned
accordingly.
Comply with installation standards BS 6891 enforced in the installation country which are considered as fully transcribed in
this booklet.
Remember that before operating an indoor gas distribution system and before connecting it to a meter, it must be tightness
tested checked for leaks.
Adhere to the following leak test instructions:
- tightness test is to be carried out before pipes are covered.
- tightness test is not to be carried out employing flammable gas: use air or nitrogen for this purpose.
- when gas is already in the pipes supplying the boiler, leak testing by naked flame is forbidden, use specific products
available on the market.
