Connect the CH return valve (black handle) and copper tail.
3. If connecting the boiler to heating loads in excess of
17.6kW, connecting ow and return heating systems
pipework must be sized in 28mm diameter at the point
of pipe connection to the boiler tails. use 22mm x 28mm
pipe adaptors as appropriate.
GAS CONNECTION

metallic blue bre washer, which must not be overheated when
making capillary connections. Refer to Section 1.16 for details of
the position of the gas connection.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DRAIN
The pressure relief valve connection, located at the bottom right-
hand side of the boiler, comprises a 15mm diameter stub pipe.
The Installer is to provide a compression joint on the end of the
stub pipe. This assists with pipe removal when servicing.
The discharge pipe should be positioned so that the discharge
of water or steam cannot create a hazard to the occupants of
the premises or damage the electrical components and wiring.
