How to install a condensing boiler

It is critical that a gas boiler only be fitted by a registered corgi/gassafe boiler installation professional.

Part a of the building regulations demand that where a gas boilers are concerned only high efficiency condensing boilers should be fitted, with only a few exceptions.  This is good news for the customer and good news for the environment.  Set to buck a rated boilers are usually at home by 90% efficient which means fuel savings for the customer and lessen damage to the environment against Arnold non condensing boilers.

Installing a high-efficiency domestic boiler is no different than any type of wall models except for one difference he must fit condensate train.  Other than that it is exactly the same procedure.  So the tools required are electric drill, called real screwdrivers and grips or adjustable spanners.

The first big decision is to choose exact location of the boiler, taking manufacturers clearances into consideration.  This will be influenced by factors such as where is the old boiler was fitted boiler size, any potential nuisance from blooming at the flue terminal, and flew operations to reduce, remove any issues.  The boiler must be positioned in a suitable place where a route can be found for the condensate pipe stop

Hanging the boiler.

The boiler should now be hung on the wall to ensure that the water and gas connections match with those of the fixing Jake.  The boiler should then be removed from the wall and the fixing Jake can now be pre-plumbed without the boiler in position with the exception of the condensate outlet and pier of the pipes.  It is possible to preach on the GAA with the boiler in position providing that the soldering work on the pipes is done away from the boiler.  The boiler can then be repositioned on the war and connect to the fixing Jake.

Installing a flu.

Attach the flue elbow to the top of the boiler.  This means the distance between the part of the elbow to the wall plus the thickness of the wall will give a total length of the flue plus the extension on the outside to allow for blooming.  It should be remembered that in most cases is telescopic from those are available for this purpose.  Remember to fit the Robert Carlyle behind the locating works on the flue terminal.  The flue can now be fitted to the boiler and secured with a metal, provided along with the fixing screws.

Condensate pipes.

This is the additional part of installing the boiler against the standard efficiency installation.  The condensate pipe needs to be connected to an internal or external drain or so, I.  Connection to an internal drain is preferred to remove the possibility of freezing the condensate siphon fitted complies with building regulations son additional air gap is not required and stop there is usually a range of accessories available to simplify the condensate train connection.  It is best if there can be a continual fall from the boiler to the point of connection with the waste pipe.

Electrical connections.  Connection of the boiler to the electrical system and any heating system must be through a common isolator and must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with building regulations approval document p and BS 7671.  Isolation should preferably be by a double poll switched, fused spur box.  The box should be readily accessible and verbally adjacent to the boiler.

Commissioning.

Ensure the boiler has been fitted in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Ensure the pipework system is full of water and there also has been commissioned in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

The air should be purged from the system.

It is critical that the working pressure at the appliance must be correct.

The burner pressure needs to be checked and the appliance gas rate must also comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Ignition must be checked flame picture and stability must all be correct.

All the safety controls need to be checked, this is what temperature, safety, and all customer controls.

The new flue system must be checked to be sound and operating correctly.  The plume from the boiler must not cause a nuisance and must comply with buildings regulations.

At this point the boiler and be handed over to the customer.  The details of operation should be explained and the use of all controls.
