GENERAL
TERMINAL
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate various
wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 10.
AIR SUPPLY
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in BS.5440:2.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are for general guidance:
1.
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed.
2.
If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment,
permanent air vents are required (for cooling purposes) in
the cupboard/compartment, at both high and low levels. The
air vents must either communicate with room/internal space,
or be direct to outside air. The minimum effective areas of the
permanent air vents, required in the cupboard/compartment,
are specified in Table 4 and are related to maximum rated
heat input.
continued . . . .
The boiler is fitted with a special drain plug, which is provided,
to drain the BOILER ONLY, in the event of the system drain plug
being unable to do so. The hydraulic resistance of the boilers,
at MAXIMUM OUTPUT with an 11

Maximum boiler operating temperature should be 82

3.
Both air vents MUST communicate with the same room or
internal space or MUST be on the same wall to outside air.
4.
In siting the air vents care must be taken to avoid the freezing
of pipework.Water circulation system.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The boiler must NOT be used for direct hot water supply. For the
types of system and correct piping procedure refer to 'Introduction'
and Frame 1.
The central heating system should be in accordance with BS.6798
and, in addition, for Smallbore and Microbore systems, BS. 5449.
The domestic hot water system, if applicable, should be in
accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS. 5546. Copper
tubing to BS. 2871:1 is recommended for water carrying pipework.
The hot water storage cylinder MUST be of the indirect type and
should preferably be manufactured of copper.
Single feed, indirect cylinders are not recommended and MUST
NOT be used on sealed systems.
The appliances are NOT suitable for gravity central heating, nor
are they suitable for the provision of gravity domestic hot water.
The hot water cylinder and ancillary pipework, not forming part of
the useful heating surface, should be lagged to prevent heat loss
and any possible freezing - particularly where pipes run through
roof spaces and ventilated under floor spaces.
Boilers not fitted to a sealed system must be vented.
IMPORTANT
A minimum length of 1m of copper pipe MUST be fitted to both
flow and return connections from the boiler before connection to
any plastic piping.
This applies to ALL types of installation.
Draining taps MUST be located in accessible positions, which
permit the draining of the whole system - including the boiler
and hot water storage vessel. They should be at least
1/2" BSP
nominal size and be in accordance with BS. 2879.
WATER TREATMENT
These boilers incorporate a cast iron heat exchanger and an
aluminium heat exchanger
.

Ideal Stelrad Group
recommend Water Treatment in accordance
with the
Benchmark
Guidance Notes on Water Treatment in
Central Heating Systems.
Ideal Stelrad Group
recommend the use of Fernox, GE Betz
Sentinel or Salamander water treatment products, which must
be used on accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

Notes.
1.
It is most important that the correct concentration of the water
treatment products is maintained in accordance with the
manufacturers' instructions.
2.
If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitable
additives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing.
BS7593:1992 details the steps necessary to clean a
domestic heating system.
3.
In hard water areas, treatment to prevent limescale may be
necessary - however the use of artificially softened water is
NOT permitted.
4.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before the
system has been thoroughly flushed.
BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Ideal Stelrad Group
recommend that heating systems utilising
full thermostatic radiator valve control of temperature in
individual rooms should also be fitted with a room thermostat
controlling the temperature in a space served by radiators not
fitted with such a valve as stated in BS. 5449.
