C13 C33 C53 = A room sealed appliance designed for connection via ducts to a horizontal or vertical terminal, which admits fresh
air to the burner and discharges the products of combustion to the outside through orifices which, in this case, are
concentric. The fan is up stream of the combustion chamber. Note: Room Sealed Flues must be used.

damage or personal injury.
1. Cut the flue hole ensuring that the hole
is square to the wall. Both wall faces
immediately around the cut hole should be flat.
2. Drill 4 boiler top fixing holes with a 12mm
masonry drill and insert the plastic plugs
provided, for the wall mounting plate.

• Due care should be taken when lifting the boilers, with
respect to their weights, see Table 2 on Page 6. Also
refer to Section 1.4 Safe Handling.
1. Lift the boiler onto the wall mounting plate as shown.
Note: It is not necessary to hold the boiler at an angle
to engage the wall mounting plate.
2. Using the remaining coach screws, secure the bottom
of the boiler to the wall through the attached brackets.
IMPORTANT NOTE It is essential that these bolts be
fitted prior to making up the flow and return connections to
the boiler to prevent the boiler becoming detached .

Due to the high efficiency of these boilers pluming will occur. For this reason vertical termination is recommended, and in any
case, terminal positions which could cause problems should where possible be avoided.
Particular care should be taken in the case of large multiple boiler installations, and complying with the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
The information below is extracted from BS. 5440 Pt. 1 and is for boilers with heat inputs not exceeding 70kW nett, and the latest
Building Regulation Part J. Detailed reference should still be made to these standards. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.

(1) An opening here means an openable element, such as a openable window, or a fixed opening such as an
air vent. However, in addition, the outlet should not be nearer than 150mm (fanned draught) to an opening
into the building fabric formed for the purpose of accommodating a built in element, such as a window frame.

If the terminal is fitted less than 500 mm below plastic gutters, painted eaves or any other painted surface then an aluminium shield at least 1m
long should be fitted to protect the surface.
Vertical terminals must be a minimum of 550mm apart.
For positioning of open flue terminals reference should be made to BS. 5440 Pt. 1. In IE refer to I.S.813.2002.

Where gravity discharge to an internal termination is not physically
possible or where very long internal pipe runs would be required
to reach a suitable discharge point, a condensate pump of a
specification recommended by the boiler or pump manufacturer
should be used terminating into a suitable internal foul water

separate guidance is provided with the conversion kit supplied and this must be followed.

PRIOR TO CO LEVEL AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK


The installation instructions must have been followed, gas type verified and gas supply pressure / gas rate checked as
required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, ESPECIALLY WHERE A FLUE HAS BEEN FITTED BY PERSONS OTHER THAN
THE BOILER INSTALLER, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to confirm that all components are
correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that maximum flue lengths have not been exceeded and all guidance
has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Register Technical Bulletin (TB) 008 where chimney/flues are in voids).
The ECGA should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967.
Prior to its use, the ECGA should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the manufacturer. The installer
must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser.
Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR in accordance with the analyser manufacturer’s instructions.

KEY:
CO = carbon monoxide
CO2 = carbon dioxide
O2 = oxygen
Combustion Ratio = The CO reading measured in ppm divided by the CO2 reading first converted to ppm
ppm = parts per million
GS(I&U)R = Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
