4.1 - INSTALLATION GUIDELINES - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES
TIME AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The Building Regulations state that central heating
systems must have time and temperature control on the
pipe circuits (eg. thermostatic radiator valves / TRVs, room
thermostats, cylinder thermostats etc.).
BURNER
The burner is factory set for use with kerosene
28 second class C fuel.
ROOM SEALED BAL
ANCED FLUES
BS 5410 Part 1: 2014 - Code of Practice for Oil Firing -
Installation up to 44kW Output Capacity for Space
Heating and Hot Water Supply Purposes - Paragraph 11.2
Mounting.
“The flue terminal should be mounted so that it is
separated from any combustible material forming a part of
the building.
Such combustible material may take the form of cladding
on the surface of a non-combustible wall through which
the flue outlet passes. In such a case, the cladding
adjacent to the flue outlet should be replaced by
non-combustible material extending not less than 50mm
beyond the outside dimensions of the flue outlet.
The wall through which the flue outlet passes may itself be
of combustible material, and if so the flue outlet, where it
passes through the wall, should be surrounded by
non-combustible insulating material not less than 50mm
thick (see next page). The insulating material itself should
be contained in a steel liner to provide the necessary
structural rigidity and to prevent moisture reaching the
insulating material.
WARNING
The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for any
damage to persons, animals or property due to error in
installation or in the burner adjustment or due to
improper or unreasonable use or non observance of the
technical instruction enclosed with the burner, or due to
the intervention of unqualified personnel.
Please not following important points before
commencing installation.
INST
ALLATION & COMMISSIONING
Boilers must be installed, commissioned and serviced by
an OFTEC registered, competent, qualified engineer and
as set out in the installation manual, using correct test
equipment.
EXPANSION VESSEL
Total water content of system and boiler must be
calculated to determine if an additional pressure vessel is
required.
HARD WATER - LIMESCALE
Failure to check water hardness and fit appropriate water
softening equipment will result in scale build up and
consequent reduction in water heating performance.
Check with local Water Authority if in doubt.
PLASTIC PIPING - W
ARNING
The boiler thermostat control and safety system is not
designed, and must not be relied on, to protect plastic
pipe from overheating. Plastic pipe must never be
connected directly to the boiler. If you choose to use
plastic pipe anywhere on your heating circuits, please
consult the plastic pipe manufacturer for their
instructions on how to ensure their product never
overheats. Our boiler control and safety high limit
thermostats are not designed to fulfil this function.
Firebird accepts no responsibility for failure of plastic
piping and fittings for whatever reason.
BOILER THERMOSTAT / THERMISTOR FUNCTION
The control thermostat on the boiler allows the
householder to vary temperature to central heating from a
low of 60˚C to a high of 80˚C to 82˚C, depending on the
model.
In accordance with EU boiler standards, your boiler is also
fitted with a safety high limit thermostat, fixed at 114˚C.
This system protects the boiler in the event of the control
thermostat failing and keeps the boiler safe.
The safety high limit thermostat will shut the boiler off and
will require the limit button to be pushed to restart the
boiler. If the problem re-occurs, you should call your
service engineer.
In cases where the flow from the boiler is down to the
heating system,fitting a pump over run thermostat (a pipe
stat) is recommended. This is to prevent the residual heat
build up in the boiler from unnecessaril yactivating the
high limit thermostat and thus causing nuisance. See
Heatpac Wiring Diagram on page 53.
Firebird Kitchen, System, Combi and Heatpac models are
factory fitted with an over run thermostat pump.
