crate. The packaging is designed to be handled by a forklift or narrow base pallet truck. The
complete crated boiler will fit through a standard door of 1,970mm high by 750mm wide.
Remove screws fixing crate sides to the base. Remove screws from one end of the crate.
Remove end of crate and slide the main body of the boiler off the opposite end. Remove
plastic wrapping once the boiler has reached its intended installation area.
Boiler is heavy (
up to 450kg)
.
Use only specialist lifting equipment to move the
boiler.
Dispose of plastic packaging carefully. Keep out of the reach of children and
animals. Recycle packing materials whenever possible.
4.2 LOCATING THE BOILER
The location selected for installation of the boiler must allow the provision of a satisfactory
flue, an adequate air supply , a drain and be well illuminated. A purpose built plant room or
compartment is strongly recommended.
If a purpose built plant room is not available, measures should be taken to protect the boiler
from damage and prevent any extraneous matter from being stored on or around the boiler.
See BS 6644 Clauses 4, 5 and 6 for details. Any combustible material adjacent to the boiler
must be so placed and shielded as to ensure that it’s temperature does not exceed 66ºC .
There must be easy access to the plant room and boiler at all times. The boiler must be
located in an area where leakage from the water connections or the combined temperature
and pressure safety valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to it.
When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain tray must be installed under the
boiler. The drain tray must be no deeper than 38mm and must be 100mm wider and
longer than the boiler. It should be piped to an adequate drain using 20mm (0.75in)
diameter pipe, angled for proper drainage.
Access must be provided to the front of the boiler with adequate clearance for servicing
and operation.
(see section 4.2.1 for details)
The floor on which the boiler is installed must be flat and level. Levelling feet are provided
on the boiler. The floor must be of sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the boiler
when filled with water, and should satisfy the requirements of the Local Authority &
Building Regulations.
