Introduction 

 
This cascade manual is intended for the wall-hung high efficiency central heating boilers from the S-CBX boiler 
series as manufactured by Strebel Ltd 

 

The boilers can be combined in one cascade configuration. This ensures that the required power can always be 
achieved. Since several boilers are combined this allows for a deeper modulation range and  for more precisely 
achieving the required level. 
 
Furthermore,  the  cascade  configuration  offers  an  increased  reliability:  should  one  boiler  go  into  error,  the 
cascade configuration will continue to operate. 
 
Strebel Ltd can supply standard cascade systems with mounting frame, piping and low loss headers for up to six 
boilers depending on the range. Larger amounts of boilers in a cascade combination are possible but require a 
dedicated system which must be designed separately.  

 

The software allows for combining of up to 16 S-CBX boilers in a single cascade installation. 

 

This document will offer you a general procedure for the complete installation of a cascade configuration. 
For specific details regarding connections, parameters, venting, etc. see

 

the Installation & Service Manual of the 

boilers.
