REQUIREMENTS
Regulations and
standards to be
observed
§
☞
Vaillant ecoMAX boilers are
certified as heating boilers with
corresponding flue systems
according to EC Directive
90/396/EEC on gas-fired
devices. This installation manual is
covered by this certification and is
referred to in the design approval
test certificate.
☞
These instructions should be read
in conjunction with the instructions
for installation and servicing
supplied with the boiler.
☞
Ensure also that all legislation,
rules, regulations and directives
mentioned in the installation
instructions are observed.
☞
The installation of the boiler and
its flue must be carried out by a
competent person who is
registered with CORGI (The
Council for Registered Gas
Installers).
☞
The installation of the boiler and
flue must be in accordance with
the Gas Safety (Installation and
Use) Regulations 1998 and the
Building Regulations and
BS 5440 Part 1.
☞
The requirements for flue
termination detailed in the boiler
installation instructions must be
observed.
☞
Two types of flue system are
available for ecoMAX boilers. The
standard concentric flue system
(100 mm outside diameter) and a
larger diameter concentric system
(125 mm outside diameter) which
allows longer air/flue duct lengths
to be achieved.
☞
The air/flue duct operates at very
low temperatures therefore no
clearance is necessary between
the air duct and adjacent
services.
☞
Ensure while installation work is
being carried out that no debris
such as swarf, filings or fragments
of mortar are allowed to remain
in the air/flue duct.
