All installers are asked to follow the Benchmark Scheme by 

adhering to the Code of Practise, which can be obtained from 

www.centralheating.co.uk. 

The Excel comprises a range of high-efficiency combination 

boilers with outputs to DHW of 25kW and 29kW respectively.

These appliances – by design – incorporate electronic ignition, 

circulating pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, pressure 

gauge and automatic by-pass.

The Excel range is produced as room sealed, category II2H3P 

appliances, suitable for internal wall mounting applications only.

Each appliance is provided with a fan powered flue outlet with 

an annular co-axial combustion air intake that can be rotated 

– horizontally – through 360 degrees for various horizontal 

or vertical applications. The Excel can also be used with the 

Vokèra twin flue system.

The Excel is approved for use with C13 & C33 type flue ap

-

plications.

These appliances are designed for use with a sealed system 

only; consequently they are not intended for use on open 

vented systems.

This booklet is an integral part of the appliance. It is therefore 

necessary to ensure that the booklet is handed to the person 

responsible for the property in which the appliance is located/ 

installed. A replacement copy can be obtained from Vokèra 

customer services.
