When commissioning the boiler, ensure the Benchmark Checklist at the back of these instructions is
completed.
6.1 FILL THE SYSTEM
1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic air vent positioned on the pump (see Fig. 7.8), ducted to the bottom of the boiler
casing and is not to be blocked.
2. Open the central heating flow and return valves (operating lever in-line with valve) (see Fig. 5.4).
3. Open the fill point valves on the filling loop until water is heard to flow (see Section 4.7).
4. To remove the air - Vent each radiator in turn, starting with the lowest in the system.
5. Check the operation of the safety valve (see Fig. 7.8) by turning the head anti-clockwise until it clicks. The click is the
valve lifting off its seat allowing water to escape from the system - check that this is actually happening.
6. Continue to fill the system until the pressure gauge indicates 1.0 bar. Close the fill point valve and check the system for
water soundness. Disconnect the filling loop from the mains supply.
Water may be released from the system by manually opening the drain point (see Fig. 7.8) until the system design
pressure is obtained. The system design pressure (cold) should be between 0.75 and 1.25 bar.
Refer to Sections 4.7 and 4.8. Filling and Flushing the system.
7. Open the cold water mains inlet valve (see Fig. 5.4). Turn on all hot water taps and allow water to flow until no air is
present. Turn off taps.
8. Ensure that the condensate trap has been filled with water.

6.3 TEST FOR GAS TIGHTNESS AND PURGE THE SUPPLY
1. With the boiler connected, pressure test the gas supply and inlet pipework
connected to the boiler for tightness in accordance with BS 6891.
2. Loosen the gas inlet pressure test point screw on the gas valve (see Fig. 6.2) and purge in accordance with BS 6891.
3. Retighten the test point screw and test for gas tightness. Close the boiler gas service cock.
