INSTALLATION
The appliance is designed to be installed in an airing/cylinder cupboard and the
relevant minimum dimensions are provided in the Technical Data section.
Because of the ease of installation we recommend that the cupboard construction is
completed and painted before installation of the appliance. The cupboard door can
be fi tted after installation. No ventilation is normally required to the cupboard.
If the unit needs to be stored prior to installation it should be stored upright in a dry
environment and on a level base/fl oor.
Installation and maintenance access is needed to the front of the appliance and
above the F & E cistern. See Technical Data section for further details.
The minimum dimensions contained in the Technical Data section allow for the
passage/connection of pipes under the appliance from any direction as long as the
appliance is installed on the installation base provided. If the installation base is not
used extra space may be needed to allow connection to the pipework and the whole
of the base area should be continuously supported on a material which will not easily
deteriorate if exposed to moisture.
The fl oor of the cupboard needs to be level and even and capable of supporting the
weight of the appliance when full. Details of the weight when full is provided in the
Technical Data section.
The appliance is designed to operate as quietly as practicable. However, some noise
(from pumps etc) is inevitable in any heating system. This will be most noticeable in
cupboards formed on bulkheads, or at the mid span of a suspended fl oor. In these cases
the situation can be improved by placing the appliance on a suitable sound deadening
material (i.e. carpet underlay or similar).
A suitable location will be needed for the separate feed and expansion cistern. This
will often be at high level in the cupboard housing the BoilerMate BP. The dimensions
and clearances are provided in the Technical Data section. The location will need to
provide a suitable route for the cold feed and expansion pipe as well as the open
safety vent pipe. The location will also need to provide a suitable route and discharge
position for the warning/overfl ow pipe and the ballvalve supply from the mains cold water
system if the automatic fi ll version appliance is being fi tted.
Note: The standard appliance is supplied with a cistern but without a ballvalve
and overfl ow connector.
