Flue

Detailed information on flue assembly can be found in Section

12 “Connecting the Flue”.

The boiler must be installed so that the flue terminal is

exposed to the free passage of external air at all times and

must not be installed in a place likely to cause nouisance. It

must not be allowed to discharge into another room or space

such as an outhouse or closed lean-to.

The terminal should be located with due regard for the

damage or discolouration that might occur to buildings in the

vicinity and consideration msut also be given to adjacent

boundaries.

In cold or humid weather, water vapour may condense on

leaving the flue terminal. The effect of such “pluming” must be

considered.

11 Installation Requirements

LMN

ID,E

Fig. 11

Ventilation

The room in which the boiler is installed does not require specific

ventilation. If it is installed in a cupboard or compartment

permanent ventilation is not required for cooling purposes.

Gas Supply

The gas installation and soundness testing must be in

accordance with the requirements of BS 6891.The boiler

requires a 22 mm supply. Ensure that the pipe size is

adequate for demand including other gas appliances on the

same supply.

Electrical Supply

The appliance requires an earthed 230V - 50 Hz supply and

must be in accordance with current I.E.E. It must also be

possible to be able to completely isolate the appliance

electrically. Connection should be via a 3 amp fused double-

pole isolating switch with contact separation of at least 3 mm

on both poles. Alternatively, a fused 3 Amp. 3 pin plug and

unswitched socket may be used, provided it is not used in a

room containing a bath or shower. It should only supply the

appliance.

The boiler is suitable for sealed systems only. The maximum

working pressure for the appliance is 10 bar. All fittings and

pipework connected to the appliance should be of the same

standard. If there is a possibility of the incoming mains

pressure exceeding 10 bar, particularly at night, then a

suitable pressure limiting valve must be fitted.

The boiler is designed to provide hot water on demand to

multiple outlets within the property. If there is a requirement

for greater demands, for example if the property has several

bathrooms and cloakrooms, a vented or unvented hot water

storage system may be used.

Showers

Any shower valves used with the appliance should be of a

thermostatic or pressure balanced type. Refer to the shower

manufacturer for performance guidance and suitability.

Flushing and Water Treatment

The performance of the appliance could be impaired by

system debris or the effects of corrosion. The system must

be flushed thoroughly to remove metal filings, solder,

machining oils and other fluxes and greases before

connecting the boiler. If it is an existing system, an

appropriate flushing and descaling agent should be used.

Refer to BS 7593 (1992) for guidance. For more information

on the use of corrosion inhibitors, flushing and descaling

agents, advice can be sought from the manufacturers of

water treatment products such as:

Tel: 01799 550811

System Controls

The boiler is electrically controlled and is suitable for most

modern electronic time and temperature controls. The

addition of such external controls can be beneficial to the

efficient operation of the system. The boiler connections for

external controls are 24V and so only controls of 24V or that

have voltage free contacts should be used.

Location

The boiler can be installed on any suitable internal wall.

Provision must be made to allow the correct routing of the flue

and siting of the terminal to allow the safe and efficient

removal of the flue products. A compartment or cupboard may

be used provided that it has been purpose-built or modified for

the purpose. It is not necessary to provide permanent

ventilation for cooling purposes. Detailed recommendations

are given in BS 5440 pt 2. If it is proposed that it is installed in

a timber framed building then reference

Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room

containing a bath or shower, the appliance and any

electrical switch or appliance control, utilising mains

electricity should be situated specifically in accordance

with current IEE Wiring Regulations.

For unusual locations, special procedures may be necessary.

BS 6798:1987 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.

11 Installation Requirements (continued)

12 Connecting the Flue

12.1 Fitting the coaxial flue (Ø 60/100 Horizontal)

The boiler must only be installed with a flue supplied by the boiler manufacturer.

These kits are supplied separately to the appliance in order to respond to different installation solutions. For more information

with regard to the inlet/outlet accessories consult the flue brochure and the following instructions.. The boiler is predisposed for

the connection to a twin flow concentric gas intake and exhaust duct system.

WARNING!!

The exhaust gas ducts should not be in contact with or close to

inflammable material and should not pass through building structures or

walls made of inflammable material.

When replacing an old appliance, the flue must be changed.

IMPORTANT!!

Ensure that the flue is not blocked.

Ensure that the exhaust gas ducts do not

have leaks

Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, insert the elbow into the socket and rotate to the required position. NOTE: It is

possible to rotate the elbow 360oon its vertical axis.

Using the flue clamps, seals and screws supplied (Fig 12) secure the elbow to the boiler.

The 1 metre horizontal flue kit (705958) supplied is suitable for an exact X dimension of 823mm, and the 750mm horizontal

flue kit (705785) is suitable for an exact X dimension of 573mm.

Measure the distance from the face of the external wall to the face of the flue elbow (X - Fig 12), add 22 mm to this

measurement, you now have the total length of flue required (including the terminal), this figure must now be subtracted from

860mm, you now have the total amount to be cut from the plain end of the flue.

Cut the flue to the required length ensuring that the distance between the inner and the outer flue is maintained (Fig 13).

12 Connecting the Flue (continued)

e.g.X = 508mm + 22mm = 530mm

860 - 530 = 330mm (Length to be cut from the plain end of the flue).

Once cut to the required length, ensure that the flue is free from burrs and reassemble the flue. If fitting the flue from inside of

the building attach the grey outer wall seal to the flue terminal and push through the flue through the hole, once the wall seal

has passed through the hole, pull the flue back until the seal is flush with the wall. Alternatively, the flue can be installed from

outside of the building, the grey outer seal being fitted last.

IMPORTANT!!

Do not extend the telescopic flue to an X dimension of more than 470mm. If longer lengths are required use

extension pieces as necessary. Under no circumstances must the flue be cut.

The wall must then be made good around the flue (ensuring a fall of 1ois maintained away from the boiler to the flue terminal).

Once made good, place the inner (white) wall seal over the flue and push up to the wall, secure the flue to the elbow by using

the clamp supplied.

For each additional 90oelbow 1 metre must be removed from the total flue length (maximum 4 metres including the 1st elbow).

For each additional 45oelbow 0.5 metre must be subtracted from the total flue length (Fig 16).

12.2 Fitting the telescopic flue (Ø 60/100 Horizontal)

WARNING!!

Consult the table on Page 19, to see if a restrictor is

required for the type of flue system being used. Should it

be necessary to fit the restrictor, it must be fitted as shown

in Fig. 14.

3XSCREWS

The vertical flue kit is supplied with a specially designed weather proof terminal fitted, it can be used either with a flat roof or a

pitched roof. (see Figs. 17 and 18).

The Vertical flue kits maximum and minimum useable lengths with both flat and pitched roof flashings are indicated in Figs. 17

and 18 also).

12.3 Fitting the coaxial flue (Ø 60/100 Vertical)

Before proceeding to fit the flue, ensure that the maximum flue length has not been exceeded and that all elbows and bends

have been taken into consideration, the maximum flue length is 4 metres, for each additional 90oelbow 1 metre must be

subtracted from the total flue length, and for each 45o0.5 metres must be subtracted from the total flue length (the offset and

height of 2 x 45obends can be seen in Fig. 19).

Mark the position of the flue hole in the ceiling and/or roof (see Fig. 17 for distance from wall to the centre of the flue).

Cut a 120mm diameter hole through the ceiling and/or roof and fit the flashing plate to the roof.

Should it be necessary to cut the flue DO NOT cut the outer white ar inlet tube, cut the aluminium exhaust flue 6mm longer

than the outer white air tube when used at minimum length. DO NOT cut more that 250mm from the inner aluminium exhaust

flue.

To connect the vertical flue kit directly to the boiler, place the adaptor (see Fig. 15) (supplied with vertical flue kit) onto the

exhaust manifold and secure with the clamp, the vertical flue kit must then be inserted through the roof flashing, this will

ensure that the correct clearance above the roof is provided as the terminal is a fixed height.

Should extensions be required, they are available in 1 metre (Part No. 705786), 500mm (Part No. 705790) and 160mm

lengths (Part No. 705812), they must be connected directly to the boiler and secured with the clamp supplied before

connecting the adaptor to allow the vertical flue kit to be fitted. In the event that extension pieces need to be shortened, they

must only be cut at the male end and it must be ensured that the distance between the inner and outer flue are kept (Fig. 13).

When utilising the vertical flue system, action must be taken to ensure that the flue is supported adequately to prevent the

weight being transferred to the appliance flue connection.

When the flue passes through a ceiling or wooden floor, there must be an air gap of 25mm between any part of the flue system

and any combustible material. The use of a ceiling plate will facilitate this. Also when the flue passes from one room to

another a fire stop must be fitted to prevent the passage of smoke or fire, irrespective of the structural material through which

the flue passes.

12.4 Fitting the 5” flue (Ø 80 / 125)

Once the boiler has been positioned on the wall, it is necessary to insert the Ø80/125 adaptor into the boiler flue socket.

Place the Ø 60mm insert (Fig. 20) into the boilers exhaust connection;

Fit the grey seal over the boilers flue connection and ensuring all lip seals are fitted correctly push the adaptor onto the boilers

flue connection, checking that the seal is fitted correctly over the adaptor;

To secure the adaptor, use the clamp and screws provided (Fig. 20).

To fit extensions or elbows it is first necessary to ensure that the red lip seal is fitted correctly into the inner flue, once verified,

it is simply necessary to push them together, no clamps are necessary to secure the flue components.

NOTE:WHERE THE TOTAL LENGTH OF FLUE IS GREATER THAN 5 METRES, THE CONDENSATE DRAIN ON THE ADAPTOR MUST BE UTILISED.

12.5 Fitting the twin pipe (Ø80/80)

Where it is not possible to terminate the flue within the distance permitted for coaxial flues, the twin flue pipe can be used by

fitting a special adaptor to the flue connector and using the aperture for the air intake located on top of the combustion

chamber.

Considerations necessary for twin flue installation;

It is most important to avoid any possible condense formation entering the appliance.

Condense may form when the 24kW boiler has an exhaust pipe longer than 5.5m and on the 30kW when the exhaust pipe is

longer than 7.5m. If this is the case, there are two options;

1)Where condense will form but can be negated with insulated flue, install the insulated flue ensuring it has a fall of 5mm in

every metre away from the boiler.

2)The exhaust flue will have a fall of 3oback to the boiler and a suitable trap will be fitted on the exhaust as close to the boiler

as possible, condense will then be suitably disposed of.

Where the flue runs through cold spots, i.e. loft areas, condense is likely to be formed, therefore in such cases a fall back to

the boiler and a trap is required.

Always ensure that the flue is adequately supported, avoiding low points. (MTS supply suitable clamps as Part No. 705778).

To utilise the air intake it is necessary to:

1) Take the air intake cover off

2) Assemble the flange on the header supplied with the boiler

3) Insert the restrictor if necessary, on the tube or the elbow

4) Insert the header on the tube or the elbow up until the lower stop

(you do not have to use the washer).

5) Insert the elbow/header in the boiler air intake hole and fasten it with screws

The twin flue pipes can be fitted with or without additional elbows and need no clamps, simply ensure that the red o-ring is

inserted in the female end of the flue pipe and push the extension piece fully into the previous section of flue pipe or elbow,

check that the o-ring is not dislodged when assembling the flue.

Twin pipe can also be converted back to Coaxial flue to enable vertical termination with a coaxial kit by using the pipe bridge

(Twin - Coaxial Adaptor - Part No. 705767). When running the twin flue pipe vertically, a condense trap must always be used

on the exhaust pipe.

It is not recommended that the pipe bridge for horizontal termination, however in the unlikely event that this proves to be a

necessity it is extremely important that the entire flue has a fall of 3oback to the boiler, is suitably trapped and where the

60mm inner flue of the concentric terminal connects to the pipe bridge, this point must be adequately sealed with silicone

sealant to avoid condense leakage at this point.

NOTE:Vertical twin flue installations must have a trap on the exhaust. MTS supply a suitable condense trap Part No. 705774

and recommend that this be used in the event that the flue may not form condense.

When siting the twin flue pipe, the air intake and exhaust terminals must terminate on the same wall, the centres of the

terminals must be a minimum of 280 mm apart and the air intake must not be sited above the exhaust terminal (refer to Fig.

25). The air intake pipe can be run horizontally, however, the terminal and the final 1 metre of flue must be installed with a fall

away from the boiler to avoid rain ingress.

It is also strongly recommended that the air intake pipe run be constructed of insulated pipe to prevent condense forming on

the outside of the tube.

The maximum permissible flue length for twin flue is dependent on the type of run used.

For flue runs with the intake and exhaust pipes under the same atmospheric conditions (TYPE 4) the maximum length is 24

metres (24kW) and 30 metres (30kW), for runs with the terminals under different atmospheric conditions (TYPE 5) the exhaust

terminal must extend 0.5 metres above the ridge of the roof (this is not obligatory if the exhaust and air intake pipes are

located on the same side of the building). For TYPE 5 also, the maximum permissible combined length is 45 metres (24kW)

and 60 metres (30kW).

The maximum length is reached by combining the total lengths of both the air intake and exhaust pipes. Therefore a

maximum length of 45 metres for example, will allow a flue run of 22.5 metres for the air intake and 22.5 metres for the

exhaust pipes, also for each 90oelbow 1.3 metres must be subtracted from the total length and for each 45oelbow 1 metre

must be subtracted from the total flue length.

Some of the acceptable flue configurations are detailed page 21.

WARNING!!

Consult the table on Page 20, to see if a restrictor is

required for the type of flue system being used.

Should it be necessary to fit the restrictor, it must be

fitted as illustrated in Fig. 23.

Twin flue

60 mm

In the event that twin flue pipes are used, and the

boiler has a side clearance of less than 60mm from

the wall, it is necessary to cut a larger diameter

hole for the flue pipe, this should be ø10 cm, this

will then allow for easier assembly of the air intake

elbow and the tube outside the wall (see Fig. 24).

For coaxial systems, the maximum development value L, mentioned in the table above also takes into accout an elbow.

For twin flue isystems the maximum development value L, mentioned in the table includes the exhaust gas/air intake terminal.

Type 5 outlets should respect the following instructions:

1- Keep the same ø 80 mm for the gas intakes and exhaust gas ducts.

2- If you need to insert elbows in the gas intake and exhaust gas ducts, you should consider for each one the equivalent length

to be included in the calculation of developed length.

3- The exhaust gas duct should jut above the roof by at least 0.5 m.

4- The intake and exhaust gas ducts in Type 5 must be installed on the same wall, or where the exhaust is vertical and the air

intake horizontal, the terminals must be on the same side of the building.
