Installation & Servicing
GENERAL
SAFETY
Current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations or
rules in force.
It is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a
CORGI registered installer in accordance with the regulations
below. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to
ensure the law is complied with.
The following must be conformed with:
Current Building Regulations and Clean Air Act
Water Authority Regulations
Local Authority Regulations and Regional Bylaws
Gas Safety Regulations
Any special regional requirements of local Electricity and Gas
undertaking.
Fire Service and Insurance Company requirements.
In the interests of safety, a competent installer should be
employed to effect the installation of the appliance.
Manufacturer's notes must NOT, in any way, be taken as over
riding statutory obligations.
The installation of the boiler MUST also be in accordance with
the latest I.E.E. (BS7671) Wiring Regulations, local buildings
regulations, bye-laws of the local water authority, the building
regulations and the Building Standards (Scotland) and any
relevant requirements of the local authority.

SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler or its
manufacture.
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be
used without prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a registered CORGI engineer.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required. A minimum working gas pressure
of 17.5mbar MUST be available at the boiler inlet for Natural gas
and 37mbar for Propane.
Do not use pipes of smaller size than the burner inlet gas
connection.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged in accordance with the appropriate standards listed
on page 4.
Gas Boosters
A gas booster is required if the gas pressure available at the
burner is lower than that required by the burner manufacturer to
attain the flow rate for maximum burner input rating.
Location of the booster requires careful consideration but
should preferably be closer to the burner rather than the gas
meter. Ventilation should also be considered to ensure ambient
temperatures do not exceed designed recommendations.
Further guidance is provided in IGE/UP/2 as listed above.
Assembly and Installation Instructions for Ideal Harrier GTE heating boilers should be read in conjunction with the general
technical data tables enclosed and any other technical publication supplied with the burner.
