MOUNTING THE BOILER
Please ensure that all current local by laws and national building regulations are consulted
prior to installation along with current codes of practice.
The unit must be mounted in a vertical position accessible for servicing. Effectively this
means allowing front facing access to remove the outer door casing to access the eGlow.
Please check load bearing and ensure correct fixing is used. There are four holes in the
casing for this purpose.
The 22mm flow and return pipes are at the bottom of the boiler, and should be connected
using compression fittings. Do not solder connections within 600mm of the boiler. Flow is
the left pipe, marked red, return is the right pipe, marked blue. We suggest you install the
means to isolate and drain the boiler independently.
SAFETY
No special precautions are required, however due care should be taken in installing,
commissioning and servicing to prevent electric shock or water leakage.
INSTALLATION
Only persons competent to do so may fit this appliance.
Calculate space heating requirements and allow an extra 3kW for hot water provision if an
indirect cylinder is to be installed. Advance recommend an Advance Appliances stainless
steel pre-plumbed unvented cylinder and would always advise customers to consider
renewable energy such as solar to contribute toward the generation of domestic hot water.
Using a direct (electric) Advance Appliances unvented cylinder will reduce installation cost.
Controls such as room thermostats and programmers or timers must be installed to comply
with current Part L requirements.
Ensure that the correct appliance is fitted, for example by sizing to meet demand and by
choosing underfloor or central heating models.
The system must be properly flushed and have inhibitor added according to manufacturer’s
specifications. Always choose a recognised brand and inhibit to the correct dilution. Always
flush out completely as any chlorine based chemicals can attack stainless steel components.
After drain down, even a partial one, inhibitor levels must be topped up.
Y, W or S plan systems may be used with the eGlow.
Primary pipe work in enclosed spaces such as boiler cupboards should be insulated. Fit
isolation valves.
It is
important
to have a locked open radiator or open towel rail in the system.
Thermostatic radiator valves are recommended. Use a twin pipe 22mm system with 15mm
tee off to radiators.
