PREPARATION FOR MOUNTING THE
APPLIANCE
The appliance should be mounted on a smooth,
vertical, surface, which must be capable of
supporting the full weight of the appliance. Care
should be exercised when determining the position
of the appliance with respect to hidden
obstructions such as pipes, cables, etc.
When the position of the appliance has been
decided – using the template supplied – carefully
mark the position of the wall-mounting bracket
(see fig. 7) and flue-hole (if applicable).
4.4.1
IMPORTANT
There are two holes on the template.
The lower hole should be used with the
telescopic flue kit (part n
°
0225705 & 0225710).
The upper hole is for use with all other
horizontal flue kits.
the installation of the appliance to ensure all
aspects of the system are capable of withstanding
pressures up to at least 3 bar.
3A.7
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The appliance is supplied for operation on 230V
@ 50Hz electrical supply; it must be protected
with a 3-amp fuse. The method of connection to
the mains electricity supply must allow for
complete isolation from the supply. The preferred
method is by using a double-pole switch with a
contact separation of at least 3 mm. The switch
must only supply the appliance and its
corresponding controls, i.e. time clock, room
thermostat, etc.
3A.8
MOUNTING ON A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE
If the appliance is to be fitted on a wall of
combustible material, a sheet of fireproof material
must protect the wall.
3A.9
TIMBER FRAMED BUILDINGS
If the appliance is to be fitted in a timber framed
building, it should be fitted in accordance with I.S.
813 and local Building Regulations.
The Institute of Gas Engineers publication (IGE/
UP/7) ‘Guide for Gas Installations in Timber Frame
Buildings’ gives specific advice on this type of
installation.
3A.10 CONDENSATE DISPOSAL
When choosing a location for the boiler,
consideration should be given to the disposal of
the condensate discharge into a suitable drain
or soil pipe. The condensate outlet pipe must be
connected to the drain in accordance with building
regulations or other rules in force.
3A.11 INHIBITORS
Vokera recommend that a inhibitor – suitable for
use with aluminium heat exchangers – is used to
protect the boiler and system from the effects of
corrosion and/or electrolytic action. The inhibitor
must be administered in strict accordance with
the manufacturers* instructions.
*Fernox and Sentinel manufacture products that
have proved suitable for use with Vokera
