8 Gas and Water Connections
8.1 Gas Connection
The gas supply can be connected from below or through the
wall at the rear of the boiler, see diagram 8.1 for position.
Refer also to section 1.7
Make the gas supply connection to the gas
Service cock. Slacken or remove the clip, as desired, whilst
making the connection. Do not subject the gas service cock to
heat.
8.2 Water Connections
Provision is made for the water connections to be made from
below or through an internal wall at the rear of the boiler, see
diagram 8.1 for position.
Provision is made for the domestic hot water outlet and heating
flow and return pipes to be connected from above, if desired,
passing down either side of the boiler, see diagram 8.2 for
clearances. Take care that any pipework connected from
above, within the boiler mounting frame will clear the expansion
vessels.
Flush out the domestic hot water and the heating systems
before connecting to the boiler.
Make the connections to the domestic hot water outlet by
straight connector and heating systems by way of the isolating
valves, see diagram 8.1.
Slacken or remove the clips, as desired, while making the
connections. Do not subject any of the isolating valves to heat.
Make sure that the drain points on the isolating valves are
positioned towards the front of the boiler, also that the drain and
operating screw heads are accessible.
8.3 Safety Valve Discharge
WARNING. It must not discharge above an entrance or window
or any type of public access area.
A short discharge pipe is supplied loose with the boiler, which
when fitted to the safety valve, will end below the boiler at the
mark between the cold water inlet and the heating flow, for
position and dimension see diagram 8.1.
This must be extended, using not less than 15mm od pipe, to
discharge, in a visible position, outside the building, facing
downwards, preferably over a drain
The pipe must have a continuous fall and be routed to a position
so that any discharge of water, possibly boiling, or steam cannot
create any danger to persons, damage to property or external
electrical components and wiring.
Note. To ease future servicing it is advisable to use a
compression type fitting to extend the discharge pipe.
