GENERAL

This boiler is 

NOT SUITABLE

 for installation in a

normally occupied area (i.e. kitchen).

LIFETIME GUARANTEE

 is available on this boiler,

please refer to our standard terms and conditions for
details.

The Potterton Derwent Compact Plus Condensing
cast iron sectional boiler is available in three sizes.
Table 3 (page 2) gives kW outputs and technical data
for each model. The boilers work on 2 stages, 100%
and 80% of nominal output. They are approved to 3
Star efficiency and have Class 5 NOx.

The Derwent Compact Plus Condensing is suitable for
use on fully pumped open vented systems or a sealed
system with a maximum design pressure of 3 bar.

These boilers are delivered fully assembled on one
pallet with burner, flue hood, gas train, control panel
and case fitted. 

For sites with restricted access the boiler block, with
drain off cock removed, will pass through a 660 mm
doorway.

If necessary the boiler block can be easily stripped
down into individual sections. (For section weights see
page 2) Our service office can offer this facility.

All boilers have the gas inlet on the left hand side. 

The boiler sections are constructed with BS 1452
grade 220 cast iron heat exchanger manufactured in
accordance with EN 303.1.

The boiler has a control system, which incorporates
full safety features, which includes control and high
limit thermostats, thermometer and burner on/off
switch. All models have automatic ignition with a
sequential control box and an ionisation flame failure
device fitted to an interrupted 400W pilot burner.

The boiler sections are insulated by 25mm glass fibre
insulation to front and rear and 50mm glass fibre
insulation on the sides and top. The case is finished in
a powder coat paint.

RED – RAL 3001

GREY – (Non standard but closest match RAL 7024)

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

  Sequence control

  Low Head Kit

  Balancing Kit

It is recommended that the Potterton Commercial

Division’s trained engineers should carry out
commissioning, as this will make the LIFETIME
GUARANTEE valid. 

INSTALLATION

The boiler should be installed in a clean boiler house
free of dust and corrosive vapours. During insulation
of system pipework and heavy building construction
work around the boiler, the boiler has to be switched
off to avoid damage.

Before starting work a risk assessment should be
carried out in the boiler house and its access to
ensure a safe installation and working environment.

Any person installing or working on the boiler 

must

 be

qualified and attention is drawn to the mandatory
requirements of CORGI. (ACOPS 16) registration for
all Gas Installers. They must also be electrically
competent and adhere to IEE regulations.
 

Manual Handling:-. Any person or persons moving or
lifting the boiler or any part thereof should be trained
in manual handling techniques and if necessary use
suitable lifting equipment to reduce the risk of injury to
themselves or other people.

The installation should comply with relevant British
Standard Specifications, Codes of Practice and
current Building Regulations, together with any special
regional requirements of the Local Authorities, Gas
Undertaking and Insurance Company. All electrical
wiring must comply with IEE. Regulations for the
Electrical Equipment of Buildings.

The installation of the boiler must be in accordance
with the relevant requirements of:-

Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.

Building Regulations 1991

Electricity at work Regulations 1989

Management of H&S at Work Regulations 1992

Manual Handling Regulations 1992

Model Water By-Laws 1986

Gas Appliance Directive: 90/396/CEE

Boiler Efficiency Directive: 92/42

Boiler Pressure Directive: 97/23/CEE

Low Voltage Directive: EN 50165 
Other Standards: EN297 – EN656 – EN437 – EN677
