1.2 Introduction
Note
This boiler must be installed and serviced by a
competent person in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
In the UK ‘CORGI’ registered installers under-
take the work in compliance with safe and sat-
isfactory standard.
ecoTEC 800 and pro range
The ecoTEC 800 and pro range is a fully automatic, wall
mounted, room sealed condensing (high efficiency) com-
bination boiler for central heating and domestic hot
water.
Domestic hot water is supplied directly from the boiler,
without requiring a copper cylinder, cold water tank,
feed and expansion vessel and associated pipework.
Domestic hot water has priority over central heating.
The ecoTEC 800 range consists of 2 models with out-
puts of 23 kW and 31 kW for domestic hot water and a
pro version with an output of 28 kW for domestic hot
water.
All versions are available in natural gas. The ecoTEC plus
831 is also available in LPG.
ecoTEC combination boilers incorporate a warm start
facility that keeps the domestic hot water heat exchang-
er hot, providing an instantaneous delivery of domestic
hot water. The temperature in the domestic hot water
heat exchanger is limited by the boiler control system
and it is not necessary to install a scale reducer on the
cold mains to the boiler. However, in areas that get
exceptionally hard water, a scale reducer may be fitted
to prevent scale formation in the hot water system
pipes. The heating system can be filled using the built–in
filling loop contained within the boiler.
ecoTEC plus 600 range
The ecoTEC plus 600 range is a fully automatic, wall
mounted, room sealed condensing (high efficiency) sys-
tem boiler for central heating and domestic hot water
(where a separate indirect hot water storage cylinder is
also incorporated in the system). The ecoTEC 600 range
consists of models with outputs of 12, 15, 18, 24 and 30
kW. All ecoTEC 600 range boilers are available in Natural
Gas. The ecoTEC plus 618 and 630 are also available in
LPG.
1.3 General Notes
The boilers have been designed for use with a sealed
central heating system, and come fully tested and
assembled with a built in circulating pump, expansion
vessel and diverter valve (ecoTEC plus 800 and pro).
The boilers are easily mounted on any internal wall and
can be installed with either a horizontal or vertical RSF
(room sealed fan assisted) flue.
The boilers use a standard flue system (100 mm or
125 mm outside diameter). Flue extensions and addition-
al bends and elbows are available for the flue system to
increase the flexibility. If desired, an inhibitor may be
used in the system. Guidance on the use of inhibitors is
contained in these instructions.
All boilers have a built in diagnostic system which indi-
cates the operational status of the boiler. This feature
provides key information to aid commissioning and fault
finding. The data badge is fitted to the underside of the
boiler. See text of General Requirements for installation
requirements or notes.
