3.1. FLUE HEIGHT AND OFFSETS.
Determine the height of the flue system and if offsets are
needed for the system to miss ceiling/roof joists and any
other obstruction. Refer to Fig. 8.
3.2. INSTALLATION OF BOILER.
Refer to the relevant Installation and Servicing Instructions
for the fitting of the wall-mounting frame assembly and the
boiler.
Flush the system and, where required, the cold water supply
before connecting the boiler.
3.3. FLUE KITS AND EXTENSIONS.
Remove all the packing from the ducts, flue terminal
assembly and flue bends.
Important:
The air duct, flue duct, flue bends and the
terminal assembly are made from aluminium and must be
handled appropriately.
3.4. FLUE ADAPTOR
For some options a flue adaptor must be fitted into the spigot
on the top of the appliance casing. Refer to Fig. 9,10.
Fix the flue adaptor in position with the clamping screw
ensuring that it is correctly located against the stop. Refer to
Fig. 5.
If a flue bend
(WH1 and WR325 RSF may only use 45°
bends)
is to be fitted directly to the top of the appliance then
the flue adaptor is not required.
3.5. FLUE SUPPORT
Flue assembly lengths over 2000mm should be
appropriately supported. Refer to Fig. 6 and Section 5.4.
3.6. FIRE STOP SPACER
The fire stop spacer is supplied with the flue kit. Refer to Fig.
7 and Section 5.3.
3.7. ROOF FLASHING
The roof flashing is not supplied. This is available, as a
proprietary item (Selkirk or similar) from the building
suppliers to suit a flue size of 125mm diameter and to suit
pitched and flat roofs.
