9.1 Unpacking & Initial Preparation
IMPORTANT
RISK ASSESSMENT - Before commencing the installation
it is recommended that the ‘Five Steps to Risk
Assessment’ document published by the HSE is consulted,
and an assessment performed as described.
GAS SUPPLY - The gas supply, gas type and pressure
must be checked for suitability before connection (see
Section 7.4).
1. Remove the banding and the cardboard sleeve. Remove the
polystyrene top piece and installation kit (Fig. 17).
2. After considering the site requirements (see Section 7.0)
position the fixing template (Fig. 19) on the wall ensuring it is
level both horizontally and vertically.
3. Mark the position of the two most suitable fixing slots for
the wall plate.
4. Mark the position of the centre of the flue hole (rear exit).
For side flue exit, mark as shown (Fig. 18).
5. If required, mark the position of the gas and water pipes.
Remove the template.
6. Cut the hole for the flue (minimum diameter 116mm).
7. Drill the wall as previously marked to accept the wall plugs
supplied. Secure the wall plate using the fixing screws.
8. Using a spirit level ensure that the plate is level (Fig. 19a)
before finally tightening the screws.
9.2 Flushing
1. Ensure that the system is thoroughly flushed and treated in
accordance with guidance given in Section 6.2 & BS 7593.
9.3 Fitting The Boiler
1. Remove the sealing caps from the boiler connections.
NOTE: A small amount of water may drain from the boiler
once the caps are removed.

be lifted by TWO PEOPLE. Engage the mounting bracket at
the top rear of the boiler on the wall plate (Fig. 20) (see Safe
Manual Handling page 5).
3. Identify the valves prior to fitting to the boiler (Fig. 21).
