GENERAL
IMPORTANT. These appliances are certificated by the British
Standards Institution for safety and performance. It is,
therefore, important that no external control devices, e.g. flue
dampers, economisers etc., are directly connected to these
appliances - unless covered by these 'Installation and
Servicing' instructions or otherwise recommended by Caradon
Ideal Ltd. in writing. If in doubt please enquire.
Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Ideal Ltd. could invalidate the B.S.I. certification and
the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas
Safety Regulations and the above regulations.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler MUST be installed on a flat and vertical external
wall, capable of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler
and any ancillary equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall, and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary - unless
required by the local authority. THE BOILER IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR EXTERNAL INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT NOTICE. If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber
framed building it should be fitted in accordance with the
British Gas publication 'Guide for Gas Installations in Timber
Frame Housing,' Reference DM2. If in doubt advice must be
sought from the local gas region of British Gas.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of
the current l.E.E. Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room
or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower then the appliance and any
electrical switch or appliance control utilising mains electricity
should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
Where installation will be in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS.6798 gives detailed
guidance on this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose. An existing
cupboard or compartment may be used, provided it is
modified for the purpose. Details of essential features of
cupboards / compartment design, including airing cupboard
installation, are given in BS.6798.
In siting the boiler, the following limitations MUST be
observed:
1. The position selected for installation MUST allow
adequate space for servicing in front of the boiler and for
air circulation around the boiler. For the minimum
clearances required for safety and subsequent service,
see the Wall Mounting Template, Frame 6 and Frame 7.
In addition, sufficient space may be required to allow lifting
access on to the wall mounting plate.
2. This position MUST also permit the provision of a
satisfactory balanced flue termination.
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas region should be consulted at the installation
planning stage in order to establish the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be
used without prior consultation with the local gas region.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas region or
by a local regional contractor.
INTRODUCTION
The Ideal Classic RS 30, RS 40, RS 50 and RS 60 are wall
mounted, balanced flue, natural draught gas boilers. They are
range rated to provide central heating outputs of 4.4kW
(15 000 Btu/h) to 8.8kW (30 000 Btu/h), 8.8kW (30 000 Btu/h)
to 11.7kW (40 000 Btu/h), 11.7kW (40 000 Btu/h) to 14.7kW
(50 000 Btu/h) and 14.7 kW (50 000 Btu/h) to 17.6kW
(60 000 Btu/h).
The boiler casing is of white enamelled mild steel with a
removable controls pod containing a drop down door.
The boiler thermostat is located behind the controls access
door, in the box mounted on the gas valve.
A Programmer Kit, which fits neatly within the casing, is
available as an optional extra. Separate fitting instructions are
included with this kit.
The boilers are suitable, as standard, for connection to open
vented systems ONLY.
An Overheat Thermostat Kit is available to allow the boiler to
be used on sealed water systems.
A complete Sealed System Module, which fits on top of the
appliance, is also available as an optional extra.
The boiler is suitable for connection to pumped, open vented
central heating systems; pumped central heating combined
with pumped, or gravity, indirect domestic hot water systems;
gravity or pumped, indirect domestic hot water supply systems.
See Frame 3 for details of the correct boiler tappings to use.
The boilers are suitable for the following wall thicknesses:
114 mm (4 1/2 in) to 191 mm (7 1/2in)
229 mm (9 in) to 305 mm (12 in)
318 mm (12 1/2 in) to 394 mm (15 1/2 in) and
406 mm (16 in) to 584 mm (23in)
Wall thicknesses outside of these sizes cannot be
accommodated .
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, 1984
It is law that all gas appliances are installed by competent
persons (e.g. CORGI, identified by
) in accordance with the
above regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could
lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of
safety to ensure the law is complied with.
The installation of the boiler MUST also be in accordance with
the latest l.E.E. Wiring Regulations, the local building
regulations, bye-laws of the local water authority, the Building
Regulations and the Building Standards (Scotland) and any
relevant requirements of the local authority. Detailed
recommendations are contained in the following
British Standard Codes of Practice:
BS 6891 Low pressure installation pipes.
BS 6798 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated
input not exceeding 60 kW.
BS 5449 Forced circulation hot water systems.
BS 5546 Installation of gas hot water supplies for domestic
purposes (2nd Family Gases).
BS 5440:1 Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 60 kW).
BS 5440:2 Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 60 kW).
Manufacturer's notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
