Section 5.5.
4 A Tectite elbow is fitted to the flow connection.
Orientate the elbow in the required direction. A
compression elbow is fitted to the return
connection, orientate the elbow in the required
direction.
5 Carefully manoeuvre the boiler in position to line
up with pipework through the wall. Complete the
water connections.
Note: Check that the baffles are in position and
that the cleaning cover is correctly fitted and a
good seal made.
6 If the boiler is installed against a wall, fit the wall
flashing strip. Position the strip with the bottom
edge of the wider flange 20 mm above the
enclosure top panel, with the narrow flange (with
the three fixing holes) flat against the wall. The
strip should overhang the top panel by an equal
amount at each end.
Mark the position of the three fixing holes onto the
wall, drill and plug the wall and secure the strip
with suitable screws (not supplied).
7 Fill and vent the water system and check for leaks,
rectifying where necessary.
If the Grant sealed system kit is fitted, refer to
Section 5.6 for details on filling and venting the
sealed heating system.
