Filling the system
1. Turn on the water main and open the system valves.
2. Open all radiator valves.
3. Fill the system via an approved filling loop to between
150 and 200 kPa then turn the valve anti-clockwise to
close.
4. Vent (1) any air from the boiler heat exchanger using
a suitable container to collect any water. Ensure tube
outlet (2) is directed away from the fan or any other
electrical component to prevent any water damage.
Also place a suitable cover over the fan to prevent any
spillage of water on to electrical connections. Ensure
the cover is removed after venting.
Fig. 55 Venting
5. Vent all radiators, tighten when completed and check
the system and correct any leaks.
B
The boiler integral expansion vessel is pre-charged to
75 kPa(equal to a static head of 7.5m (22ft). A
Schraeder type valve is fitted to the expansion vessel
to allow for pressure adjustment if required.
B
If an extra expansion vessel is fitted to the central
heating return, adjust this to the same pressure as the
boiler internal expansion vessel, refer to separate
instructions with the extra expansion vessel.
6. Briefly open the pressure relief valve to test its
operation.
7. If required increase system pressure back to between
150 to 200 kPa.
8. Rotate the adjustable pointer on the pressure gauge
to record the set system pressure.
9. Isolate and remove filling loop connection to system .

Water treatment
Flushing (CH):
B
Switch off the boiler.
B
Open all drain points and drain the system while the
boiler is hot.
B
Close drain points and add a suitable flushing agent at
the correct strength for the system condition in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
B
Run the boiler/system at normal operating
temperature for the time stated by the manufacturer
of the flushing agent.
B
Drain and thoroughly flush the system to remove the
flushing agent and debris.
Inhibitor (CH):
B
Check drain points are closed and all radiator valves
are open before adding a suitable inhibitor
compatible with aluminium (or combined inhibitor/
anti-freeze if the system is exposed to freezing
conditions) to the heating system water in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
B
Fill system via an approved filling loop to between 150
and 200 kPa.
B
Vent all radiators; tighten vents when complete.
B
Vent any air from the boiler heat exchanger using a
suitable container to collect any water.
B
Ensure tube outlet is directed away from the fan or
any other electrical component to prevent damage.
Also place a suitable cover over the fan to prevent any
spillage of water onto electrical connections. Ensure
the cover is removed after venting.
B
Vent all radiators.
B
Re-pressurise if necessary.
B
Set all controls to maximum.
B
Record the date when the inhibitor was added to the
system on the warrantee card.

NOTE:
B
Artificially softened water must not be
used to fill the CH system.
The pH value of the system water must be
less than 8 or the boiler warrantee will be
invalidated.
NOTE:
B
The concentration of inhibitor in the
system should be checked every 12
months or sooner if content is lost.
B
The addition of sealing agents to the
system water is not recommended as this
can cause problems with deposits left in
the heat exchanger.
