Boiler check:
u
Baffles should be checked as they may have been
disturbed during transport.
u
Check that the condensate trap is fitted securely,
primed with water and piped out into a suitable drain.
It is easier to check the trap when the boiler door is
removed.
u
The boiler door should be refitted, complete with
graphite seal and then tightened.
Flue check:
u
The flue must be fitted correctly, with a fall back to the
boiler. Note: internal fall of 2.5˚ within the flue.
u
For concentric balanced flue:
- the cone supplied should be inserted in to the end
of the flue;
- the wall plate should be fitted with an opening
for air under the flue;
- check that the flue guard is fitted.
u
When installing a Combipac HE the 90˚ bend should
be fitted pointing up.
Please refer to burner manual for the following sections:
u
Boiler set-up.
u
Burner settings.
u

u
the boiler should be commissioned by a
competent, qualified engineer, preferably oFteC
registered and familiar with Firebird products.
u
the installation certificate and the commissioning
certificate within the Boiler Passport should be
completed and posted to Firebird within 28 days
of installation (this can also be done online on the
Firebird website). a copy should be retained by the
commissioning engineer.

Pre-installation check:
u
Is the following documentation included with the
boiler, installation manual, boiler passport, burner
manufacturer’s manual?
u
Is the base on which the boiler is to be installed solid?
u
Allow sufficient room for future servicing of the boiler.
Where does the flue terminate:
u
Make sure there is no window, door or fence within 1
metre of the flue-terminal.
u
If the flue terminates in a corner or into an allyway,
re-circulation of the combustion gases in the air intake
could occur. A plume dispersal may be required or
an alternative flue arrangement might be available.
Contact the Firebird technical department for advise.
u
The appropriate class 1 flue must be used with a
conventional flue installation. Contact Firebird if
unsure.
Power supply:
u
Is a timed, permanent, power supply available, via a
fused spur with a 230V 50Hz mains electrical supply
and a 5A fuse?
liquid fuel supply:
u
The burner is set for 28 Second Class C2 fuel.
u
A 15 micron oil filter should be placed in line with an
isolating valve prior to entry to the burner.
u
There must be a remote sensing fire valve.
u
Verify that the fuel tank has been installed correctly as
per building standards.
