BOILER INSTALLATION
1.1 INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Hercules Condensing ABT 32 3 ErP boiler
has been designed for wall mounted installation
only; for heating and production of domestic hot
water for household use and similar purposes.
In the event the unit is installed in damp places,
one must provide an insulation system under-
neath it, to insulate it from the ground.
The place of installation of the appliance and
relative Immergas accessories must have suitable
features (technical and structural) such to allow
(always in safety, efficiency and comfortable
conditions):
- installation (according to the provisions of the
technical legislation and technical regulations);
- maintenance operations (including scheduled,
periodic, routine and special maintenance);
- removal (to outdoors in the place for loading
and transporting the appliances and compo-
nents) as well as their eventual replacement
with appliances and/or equivalent components.
By varying the type of installation the classifica-
tion of the boiler also varies, precisely:
-
Type B
23
or
B
53 boiler
if installed using the relevant
terminal for air intake directly from the room
in which the boiler has been installed.
-
Type C boiler
if installed using concentric
pipes or other types of pipes envisioned for
sealed chamber boilers for air intake and expul-
sion of flue gas.
Note:
appliance classification is provided in the
depictions of the various installation solutions
shown on the following pages.
Only professionally enabled companies are
authorised to install Immergas gas appliances.
Installation must be carried out according to
regulation standards, current legislation and in
compliance with local technical regulations and
the required technical procedures.
Attention:
the manufacturer declines all liability
for damages caused by boilers removed from
other systems or for any non-conformities of
such equipment.
Before installing the appliance, ensure that it is
delivered in perfect condition; if in doubt, contact
the supplier immediately. Packing materials (sta-
ples, nails, plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.)
constitute a hazard and must be kept out of the
reach of children. If the appliance is installed in-
side or between cabinets, ensure sufficient space
for normal servicing; therefore it is advisable to
leave clearance of at least 30 cm on the right of
the boiler in order to open the lateral hatch and
a space of 3 cm between the remaining sides of
the boiler and the sides of the cabinet. Leave
adequate space above the boiler for possible
water and flue connections. Keep all flammable
objects away from the appliance (paper, rags,
plastic, polystyrene, etc.).
In the event of malfunctions, faults or incorrect
operation, turn the appliance off and contact an
authorised company (e.g. the Authorised Tech-
nical Assistance centre, which has specifically
trained staff and original spare parts). Do not
attempt to modify or repair the appliance alone.
Failure to comply with the above implies personal
responsibility and invalidates the warranty.
• Installation regulations:
- Installation of gas appliances, flue exhaust
pipes and combustion air intake pipes is
forbidden in places with a fire risk (for ex-
ample: garages, closed parking stalls), and
in potentially dangerous places.
- Installation is forbidden in places/rooms that
constitute public areas of apartment build-
ings, internal stairways or other escape routes
(e.g. floor landings, entrance halls, etc.).
- Installation is also forbidden in places/rooms
that constitute public areas of apartment
buildings such as cellars, entrance halls, at-
tics, lofts, etc., unless otherwise provided for
by local regulations in force.
Attention
: these boilers are used to heat water
to below boiling temperature in atmospheric
pressure.
They must be connected to a central heating
system and domestic hot water circuit suited to
their performance and capacity. They must be
installed in rooms where the temperature can-
not fall below 0°C and must not be exposed to
atmospheric agents.
"Anti-legionella" heat treatment of the Immergas
storage tank (activated by the specific function
present on the predisposed thermoregulatory
systems): during this stage, the temperature of
the water inside the storage tank exceeds 60°C
with a relative risk of burns. Keep this domestic
water treatment under control (and inform
the users) to prevent unforeseeable damage
to people, animals, things. If required install a
thermostatic valve on the domestic hot water
outlet to prevent scalding.
