The boiler is not suitable for a sealed system unless
the overheat thermostat kit is installed.

c.

The boiler is not suitable for use with a direct hot
water cylinder.

40  WATER CONNECTIONS

1.

Connect the system flow and return pipework to the
boiler as appropriate. Refer to Frames 41 and 42 for
guidance on system design.

Notes.

When the required output exceeds 14.4 kW
(49 000 Btu/h) then 28mm (1") pumped flow and return
pipes should be used, both to and from the boiler.

Gravity connections MUST be at least 28mm (1").

39  GAS CONNECTION

1.

A MINIMUM working gas
pressure of 20 mbar (8
in.w.g.) MUST be available
at the boiler inlet, with the
boiler operating.

2.

Extend a gas supply pipe
NOT LESS THAN 15mm
(

1/2

") OD to the boiler and

connect to the gas cock
situated at the front LH side
of the boiler.
