1.1 Benchmark
1.1.1 Building Regulations and the Benchmark Commissioning

Checklist
Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of the installa

tion of a heating appliance to the relevant Local Authority Building Control
Department. This can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certifica
tion Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.
The Health & Safety Executive operates the ’Gas Safe Register’, a selfcer
tification scheme for gas heating appliances.
This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports
the aims of the programme. Its aim is to improve the standards of installa
tion and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to en
courage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safe
ty and efficiency.
Building Regulations require that installations should comply with manu
facturer’s instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning
checklist is completed by the installer. The relevant section of Building
Regulations only relates to dwellings. Therefore the checklist only applies
if the appliance is being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.
The flowchart opposite gives guidance for installers on the process neces
sary to ensure compliance with Building Regulations.
1.1.2 The Benchmark Scheme
Fig.1 Benchmark Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers.

The purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with the correct
equipment for their needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons
and that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations.
AD-3000725-01
The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with
Building Regulations and should be provided to the customer for future ref
erence.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servic
ing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which is
available from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage
and promote the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more infor
mation.

8
1 Safety
Caution
Make sure the boiler can be reached at all times.
The boiler must be installed in a frost-free area.
In the case of a fixed connection to the power cord, you must al
ways install a main double pole switch with an opening gap of at
least 3 mm (EN 60335-1).
Drain the boiler and central heating system if you are not going
to use your home for a long time and there is a chance of frost.
The frost protection does not work if the boiler is out of opera
tion.
The boiler protection only protects the boiler, not the system.
Check the water pressure in the system regularly. If the water
pressure is lower than 0.8 bar, the system must be topped up
(recommended water pressure between 1 and 2 bar).
Important
Keep this document near to the boiler.
Important
Casing panels may only be removed for maintenance and servic
ing purposes. Refit all panels when maintenance work and servic
ing are complete.
Note
Instruction and warning labels must never be removed or covered
and must be clearly legible throughout the entire service life of the
boiler. Replace damaged or illegible instruction and warning labels
immediately.
Note
The boiler must not be modified in any way.
1.4 Specific safety instructions
1.4.1 Handling
General
The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the
boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.
Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the
back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly should
ers, arms and hands. Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERY
ONE.
There is no "safe" limit for one man - each person has different capabili
ties. The boiler should be handled and lifted by TWO PEOPLE.
Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.
Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves,
safety footwear etc.
Preparation
Co-ordinate movements - know where, and when, you are both going.
Minimise the number of times needed to move the boiler - plan ahead.
Always ensure when handling or lifting the route is clear and unobstruc
ted. If possible avoid steps, wet or slippery surfaces, unlit areas etc. and
take special care on ladders/into lofts.
Technique
When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back
straight, bend your knees. Don’t twist - move your feet, avoid bending
forwards and sideways and keep the load as close to your body as pos
sible.
Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable
trolley.
9
1 Safety
Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is
concentrated to establish the centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as
necessary. See the "Installation" section of these instructions for recom
mended lift points.
Remember
The circumstances of each installation are different. Always assess the
risks associated with handling and lifting according to the individual con
ditions.
If at any time when installing the boiler you feel that you may have in
jured yourself STOP !! DO NOT "work through" the pain - you may
cause further injury.
IF IN ANY DOUBT DO NO HANDLE OR LIFT THE BOILER — OBTAIN
ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE BEFORE PROCEEDING !

4 Description of the product
4.1 General description
The Main Eco Compact Combi range are fully automatic gas fired wall
mounted condensing boilers. They are room sealed and fan assisted and
will serve central heating and mains fed domestic hot water.
Tab.15 The boiler is set to give a maximum output of :-
25 models 25 kW DHW
21.2 kW CH Pnc (Condensing)
30 models 30 kW DHW
21.2 kW CH Pnc (Condensing)
The boiler is factory set for use on Natural Gas (G20).

Fig.5 Information label The boiler is suitable for use only on fully pumped sealed heating systems.
Priority is given to domestic hot water.
An information label giving details of the model, serial number and Gas
Council number is situated on the front middle underside of the outercase
and is accessed by swinging forward gently.
A Information label
The boiler data badge is positioned on the control box and can be seen
A when the outercase panel is removed.
PN-0000368
The boiler is intended to be installed in residential / domestic environments
on a governed meter supply only.
The boiler must be installed with one of the purpose designed flues such
as one of the standard horizontal telescopic flue kits detailed in the Flue
Accessories and Fitting Guide.
Important
All systems must be thoroughly cleansed, flushed and treated with
inhibitor.
Note
These installation and servicing instructions must be read in con
junction with the Flue Accessories and Fitting Guide supplied in
the literature pack.
4.2 Operating principle
4.2.1 Air-gas adjustment
The air is drawn in by the fan and gas injected directly at the top of the
mixer valve. The fan rotation speed is regulated automatically by the elec
tronic board based on temperature adjustment and other parameters. The
gas and air are mixed in the manifold. The gas/air ratio ensures that the
quantity of gas and air are adjusted correctly to always obtain optimal
combustion. The gas/air mixture is fed into the burner at the front of the
heat exchanger. The mixture is ignited by the spark electrode.
4.2.2 Combustion
The burner heats the heating water circulating in the heat exchanger.
When the temperature of the combustion gas is lower than the dew point
(around 55 °C), the water vapour contained in the combustion gas con
denses in the flue gas side of the heat exchanger. The heat recovered
during this condensation process (the latent heat or condensing heat) is
also transferred to the heating water. Once cooled, the combustion gases
are discharged through the flue exhaust. The condensed water is dis
charged through a trap.
19
4.2.3 Central heating and domestic hot water production
In boilers used for heating and for producing domestic hot water, an inte
grated plate heat exchanger heats the domestic water. The heated water
is then channelled to the heating installation or to the plate heat exchanger
via a diverter valve. A flow sensor detects that a hot water tap has been
turned on and communicates this to the printed circuit board (PCB), which
switches the diverter valve to the hot water position and activates the
pump. The diverter valve is spring-loaded but only consumes electricity
when switching from one position to another. Priority is given to domestic
hot water.
4.2.4 Central heating mode
Fig.6 Operating scheme (combi) With a demand for heating the pump circulates water through the primary
circuit.
14 15
Once the main burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas rate to main
16 tain the heating temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
When the flow temperature exceeds the set temperature, a 3 minute delay
occurs before the burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The pump
17
18 continues to run during this period.
When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished and the pump
19 continues to run for a period of 3 minutes (Pump Overrun).

4.2.5 Domestic hot water mode
Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A demand at a tap or

shower will override any central heating requirement.
The flow of water will operate the Hall Effect Sensor which requests the
diverter valve to change position. This will allow the pump to circulate the
primary water through the DHW plate heat exchanger.
20
The burner will light automatically and the temperature of domestic hot wa
ter is controlled by the temperature sensor.
When the domestic hot water demand ceases the burner will extinguish
and the diverter valve will remain in the domestic hot water mode, unless
there is a demand for central heating.
4.2.6 Frost protection mode
Where the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure and during periods

when the heating system is to be unused it is recommended that the per
manent live is left on to give boiler frost protection.
When the boiler temperature falls below 5° C, the boiler will fire until a
temperature of 30° C is reached.
Important
This will not protect the system !
Further protection can be incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.
4.2.7 Pump protection
If the boiler has been inactive for a period of 24 hours the pump will auto
matically operate for 1 minute to prevent sticking.

5 Before installation
5.1 Installation regulations
Warning
Installation, repair and maintenance must only be carried out by a
competent person. This document is intended for use by compe
tent persons.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with the prevailing regula

tions, the code of practice and the recommendations in these instructions.
Installation must also respect the following points:
This instruction manual and any other applicable documentation
Building Regulations
British Standards
Gas Safety Regulations
Water Supply Regulations
5.2 Installation requirements
5.2.1 Gas supply
The gas installation should be in accordance with the relevant standards.

In GB this is BS 6891 (NG). In IE this is the current edition of IS 813 Do
mestic Gas Installations.
The connection to the appliance is a 22mm copper tail located at the rear
of the gas service cock.
Ensure that the pipework from the meter to the appliance is of adequate
size, and the demands of any other gas appliances in the property are tak
en into consideration. Do not use pipes of a smaller diameter than the boil
er gas connection (22mm) UNLESS the stated gas rate can be achieved
with pipe of lesser diameter and with all other gas appliances operating at
maximum rate.
5.2.2 Electrical supply
External wiring must be correctly earthed, polarised and in accordance

with relevant regulations/rules. In GB this is the current IEE Wiring Regula
tions. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of ETCI rules.
The mains supply is 230V ~ 50Hz fused at 3A.
Important
The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate
complete electrical isolation of the appliance.
Connection may be via a fused double-pole isolator with a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles and servicing the boiler and
system controls only.
The boiler must be connected to the mains fused 3A 230V 50HZ supply &
control system using cable of 3 core 0.75mm 3183Y multi strand flexible
type.
25
Important
Any wiring to the boiler, from either the mains or an external
control, MUST be cable of the following specification:- 0.75mm
3183/4/5Y (depending on installation) multi strand flexible cable
conforming to BS 50525-2-11.
Cable of the above specification is sufficiently flexible to with
stand normal regular opening and closing of the facia/control
box as expected during routine servicing and other maintenance
work.
Use ONLY cable glands supplied with the boiler, or provided as
spares by the manufacturer.
Under no circumstances must solid core cable be used as it is
not intended for applications where movement may occur. The
use of solid core cable could result in situations potentially haz
ardous to health.
These points must be considered when initially wiring the boiler
to the installation, and if replacing any wiring during the service
life of the boiler.
5.2.3 Hard water area
Important
Only water that has NOT been artificially softened must be used
when filling or re-pressurising the primary system. If the mains
cold water to the property is fitted with an artificial softening/treat
ment device the source utilised to fill or re-pressurise the system
must be upstream of such a device.
5.2.4 Bypass
The boiler utilises the primary side of the DHW plate heat exchanger as an
automatic integral bypass.
5.2.5 System control
Further external controls (e.g. room thermostat sensors) MUST be fitted to

optimise the economical operation of the boiler in accordance with Part L
of the Building Regulations. A range of optional controls is available. Full
details are contained in the relevant Sales Literature.
Any proprietary OpenTherm control MUST allow individual adjustment of
CH and DHW temperature.
5.2.6 Treatment of water circulating systems
All recirculatory water systems will be subject to corrosion unless an ap

propriate water treatment is applied. This means that the efficiency of the
system will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within the system,
risking damage to pump and valves, boiler noise and circulation problems.
When fitting new systems flux will be evident within the system, which can
lead to damage of system components.
BS 7593 gives extensive recommendations on system cleansing and wa
ter treatment.
All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed out using appropriate
proprietary flushing agent.
A suitable inhibitor must then be added to the system.
All system additives (flushing agents, cleansers, inhibitors etc.) must com
ply with the requirements of BS 7593. Full instructions are supplied with
the products and for further information contact the additive manufacturer
directly or consult their website.
26
Important
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will invalidate the
appliance warranty.
It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installation, system

modification and at every service in accordance with the inhibitor manufac
turer. (Test kits are available from inhibitor stockists.)
For information or advice regarding any of the above contact Baxi Custom
er Support 0344 871 1545.
5.2.7 Showers
If a shower control is supplied from the appliance it should be of the ther

mostatic or pressure balanced type. Thermostatic type shower valves pro
vide the best comfort and guard against water at too high a temperature.
Existing controls may not be suitable - refer to the shower valve manufac
turer.
5.2.8 Expansion vessel (CH only)
The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to 1.0 bar. Therefore, the

minimum cold fill pressure is 1.0 bar. The vessel is suitable for correct op
eration for system capacities up to 100 litres. For greater system capaci
ties an additional expansion vessel must be fitted.
For GB refer to BS 7074 Pt 1. For IE, the current edition of IS 813 Domes
tic Gas Installations.
Checking the charge pressure of the vessel - to check the charge accu
rately ensure the system is cold. It is also necessary to relieve the pres
sure by draining the boiler. Using a suitable gauge check the pressure at
the valve on the underside of the vessel. Adjust the pressure as required
and repressurise the system.
5.2.9 Safety pressure relief valve
Fig.11 Discharge pipe

1 Discharge pipe
2 Pressure relief valve
A The end of the pipe should terminate facing down and towards the
wall
See
BS 6798 for full details.
1
The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar, therefore all pipework, fittings, etc.
2 should be suitable for pressures in excess of 3 bar and temperature in ex
cess of 100°C.
The pressure relief discharge pipe should be not less than 15mm diame
ter, run continuously downward, and discharge outside the building, pref
erably over a drain. It should be routed in such a manner that no hazard
occurs to occupants or causes damage to wiring or electrical components.
If it is anticipated that any part of the pipe may be subject to freezing it
A 1 should be suitably insulated. The end of the pipe should terminate facing
PN-0000604 down and towards the wall.
The discharge must not be above a window, entrance or other public ac
cess. Consideration must be given to the possibility that boiling water/
steam could discharge from the pipe.
Important
The relief valve must never be used to drain the system.
A remote relief valve kit is available to enable the boiler to be installed in

cellars or similar locations below outside ground level.
27
A boiler discharge pump is available which will dispose of both condensate

& high temperature water from the relief valve. It has a maximum head of
5 metres.
5.3 Choice of the location
5.3.1 Location of the boiler
The boiler may be fitted to any suitable wall with the flue passing through
an outside wall or roof and discharging to atmosphere in a position permit
ting satisfactory removal of combustion products and providing an ade
quate air supply. The boiler should be fitted within the building unless oth
erwise protected by a suitable enclosure i.e. garage or outhouse. (The
boiler may be fitted inside a cupboard.)
Where the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure and during periods
when the heating system is to be unused it is recommended that the per
manent live is left on to give BOILER frost protection. NOTE: THIS WILL
NOT PROTECT THE SYSTEM !
If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or shower reference must
be made to the relevant requirements.
In GB this is the current IEE Wiring Regulations and Building Regulations.
In IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 Domestic
Gas Installations and the current ETCI rules.
If the boiler is to be fitted into a building of timber frame construction then
reference must be made to the current edition of Institute of Gas Engi
neers Publication IGE/UP/7 (Gas Installations in Timber Framed Housing).

Important
6 Failure to install the condensate discharge pipework correctly will
affect the reliable operation of the boiler.
3 Careful consideration must be given to the possibility of the pipe
work being subject to freezing conditions and appropriate meas
ures taken to prevent blockage. Correct installation in accordance
7 with this section will considerably minimise the likelihood of block
age and subsequent boiler lock-out.
A condensate discharge pump and pipe "Trace Heating" are avail
10 able as accessories.
5
E The condensate discharge pipe MUST NOT RISE at any point
along its length. There MUST be a fall of AT LEAST 2.5° (50mm
11 per metre) along the entire run EXCEPT when employing a suita
ble condensate pump in basement and cellar or similar applica
tions.
3 The boiler condensate trap incorporates a seal of 75mm, therefore
it is unnecessary to install an air break and trap in the discharge
12
pipework.
The condensate outlet will accept 21.5mm (3/4in) plastic overflow pipe. It is
5 10
F strongly recommended that this discharges internally into the household
drainage system. Where this is not possible, discharge into an outside
11 drain is permissible providing every possible precaution is taken to prevent
freezing.
Ensure the discharge of condensate complies with any national or local
5 G regulations in force. BS 6798 & Part H1 of the Building Regulations give
further detailed guidance.
The discharge pipe should be run in a proprietary drain pipe material e.g.
3 7 PVC, PVC-U, ABS, PVC-C or PP.
Metal pipework is NOT suitable for use in condensate discharge systems.
PN-0000455
The pipe should be a minimum of 21.5mm diameter and must be suppor
ted using suitably spaced clips of the correct design to prevent sagging.
It is advisable that the full length of condensate pipe is run internally and
preferably be less than 3 metres.
Internal runs greater than 3 metres or runs in cold areas should use 32mm
waste pipe.
External runs MUST be a MINIMUM of 32mm and fully insulated with ma
terial suitable for external use.
If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire condensate dis
charge pipe should be treated as an external run and sized and insulated
accordingly.
In all cases discharge pipe must be installed to aid disposal of the conden
sate. To reduce the risk of condensate being trapped, as few bends and
fittings as possible should be used and any burrs on cut pipe removed.
When discharging condensate into a soil stack or waste pipe the effects of
existing plumbing must be considered. If soil pipes or waste pipes are sub
jected to internal pressure fluctuations when WC's are flushed or sinks
emptied then backpressure may force water out of the boiler trap and
cause appliance lockout.
A boiler discharge pump is available which will dispose of both condensate
& high temperature water from the relief valve. It has a maximum head of
5 metres. Follow the instructions supplied with the pump.
Condensate Drain Pipe "Trace Heating" Elements are available in various
lengths, 1, 2, 3 & 5 metres. Where the drain is between 3 & 5 metres a 5
metre kit can be used and "doubled back" upon itself.
It is possible to fit the element externally on the condensate drain or inter
nally as detailed in the instructions provided.
The fitting of a "Trace Heating" Element is NOT a substitute for correct in
stallation of the condensate drain. ALL requirements in this section must
still be adhered to.

37
The Water Regulations recommendations for England and Wales prohibits

backflow from appliances into the wholesome water supply due to thermal
expansion. However this type of instantaneous combination boiler, with
less than 15 litres of stored capacity, does not require any backflow pre
vention device as any thermal expansion is accommodated within the ap
pliance. It is possible in certain circumstances that other cold water de
mands (e.g. washing machines, flushing of WCs) may affect the DHW
function of the boiler. In these instances the fitting of a backflow prevention
device and expansion vessel is recommended.
Important
In instances where the mains water supply incorporates a non-re
turn backflow prevention device, or any other device that includes
one*, it is possible for a build-up of pressure to occur. This may re
sult in damage to the boiler and other appliances. To prevent
damage to the boiler it is strongly recommended that a suitable
mini expansion vessel is fitted on the mains water inlet between
the boiler and the non-return device.
*(The manufacturer of the device should be consulted if there is
any doubt regarding the presence of a non-return feature).
Even in circumstances where a non-return device is not fitted any
future modifications to the mains inlet (e.g. fitting of a water meter)
should be considered and an expansion vessel fitted. Main cannot
accept any responsibility for damage to the boiler if these
recommendations are not followed.
The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8 bar, therefore all pipe
work, connections, fittings, etc. should be suitable for pressures in excess
of 8 bar. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted for pressures in excess
of 8 bar. The manufacturer of any outlet fittings, such as a shower valve,
may require a lower maximum pressure. The pressure reduction must take
account of all fittings connected to the DHW system.

6.4.2 Connecting on wall outdoor sensor
Fig.37 Sensor position The sensor must be fixed to an external wall surface of the property it is
serving. The wall must face north or west. Under no circumstance must it
be fixed to a south facing wall in direct sunlight.
The sensor must be positioned approximately at half the height of the liv
ing space of the property, and a minimum of at least 2.5 metres above
ground level.
To ensure accurate operation do not position the sensor in the proximity of
any heat or cooling source (e.g. a flue terminal). Siting above doors & win
dows, adjacent to vents and close to eaves should be avoided.

larger hole for the wiring.
2. Drill & plug the two fixing holes (plugs and screws are supplied with
the sensor). Also drill the hole for the sensor wiring.
3. Insert the sensor wiring through the hole in the wall, leaving suffi
West cient length outside to allow connection. Seal the hole. Note: 0.5mm

This wiring is NOT supplied in the kit.
4. If it is not possible to pass the wiring through the wall directly behind,
remove the circular ‘knock-out’ panel in the sensor base to allow
N connection.
5. Using the screws provided fit the body to the wall. Insert the wires in
the two-way terminal block and secure them. Replace the sensor
cover.
6. Ensure the electrical supply to the boiler is isolated and remove the
front panel.
W E X 7. Hinge down the control box and unclip the terminal block cover.
8. Pass the wires from the sensor through one of the gland nuts in the
bottom of the boiler lower panel, leaving sufficient slack to allow the
control box to be hinged fully open. Tighten the nut.
9. Connect the wires from the sensor to positions 4 & 5 of low voltage
terminal block M2. Refit the cover and front panel.
10. Reinstate the electrical supply to the boiler.
S X 11. From the graph determine which is the most appropriate curve for
the installation and the expectations of the user. For example if
PN-0000626
curve 50 is selected, at an outside temperature of 10°C the boiler
flow temperature will be 65°C. In the event of the outside tempera
ture falling to 0°C the boiler flow will increase to 85°C.

8.2 Start up
If there is no power to the boiler, switch on at the fused spur unit and en
sure that the time control is in the on position and any other controls (e.g.
room thermostat) are calling for heat. The boiler will begin its start se
quence. This procedure performs a series of tests, after which the installa
tion is purged (this takes approximately five minutes).
8.3 Frost protection
Where possible, draining the system should be avoided. If the system is to

be unused during winter months several precautions must be taken:
Any parts of the system that are in unheated areas of the dwelling
should be fitted with a device such as a pipe thermostat or frost thermo
stat.
Power must remain supplied to the boiler and controls.
Gas must remain supplied to the boiler.
The boiler pump will operate if the system temperature drops below 7°C. If
the temperature falls to 4°C the burner will ignite and remain lit until the
temperature reaches 10°C. At this temperature the burner will extinguish
but the pump will continue to operate for 15 minutes. This feature will pro
tect the boiler and to some extent adjacent parts of the system but addi
tional devices must be incorporated to guarantee frost protection.
