Gas/Water & Condensate Connection

8.1 Gas Connection

Before connection check the supply of local gas.

Refer to diagram 8.1, the gas supply can be connected from

below or through the wall at the rear of the boiler.

The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should

be inspected, tested for tightness and purged in accordance

with the current issue of BS6891 and in IE the current edition

of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

8.2 Water Connections

Provision is made for the water connections to be made from

above the boiler, see diagram 8.2.

Flush out the heating systems before connecting to the boiler,

refer to section 5.

8.3 Condensate Trap and Siphonic Drain

Connection

The condensate drain, see diagram 8.1, is suitable for use

with standard “Push fit” overflow pipe and couplings. DO NOT

use adhesive when connecting to the spigot. The drain pipe

should be non corrosive plastic.

IMPoRTanT: Please remove spigot bung before fitting

condensate drain connection.

The condensate drain pipe should have a fall of at least

2.5

o

44mm/metre away from the boiler and if possible be

discharged into the household internal drainage system. If this

is not practicable, discharge can be allowed into the external

household drains or a purpose designed soak away, refer to

diagram 8.3.

It is recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is

protected and also preferably of 32mm diameter, to prevent

freezing in adverse weather conditions.

The condensate is discharged periodically in ‘slugs’ by

siphonic action.

It is not necessary to provide air breaks or extra traps in the

discharge pipe as there is already a 75mm high trap inside

the boiler. Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon to

work incorrectly.

Refer to BS5546 or BS6798 for advice on disposal of boiler.
