FLOW CONNECTION
A 1ʺ BSP socket is provided for the boiler ow connection. This is
located on the top of the boiler towards the right hand side. Refer
to Figure 5-1.
The ow pipe from the boiler will need to be vented as it is the
highest point on the primary heat exchanger.
RETURN CONNECTION
A second 1ʺ BSP socket is provided for the boiler return
connection. This is located on the top of the boiler towards the
front on the right hand side. Refer to Figure 5-1.
The return pipe to the boiler will also need to be vented as it is the
highest point on the secondary heat exchanger.

5.3 26-46 MODEL ONLY
FLOW CONNECTION
A 28mm compression connection is supplied for the boiler ow
connection. This is located on the right hand side of the boiler
behind a removable cover plate. To gain access to the connection,
unscrew and remove the two screws from the top ange of the
cover plate and remove cover plate from boiler. Refer to Figure
5-2.

return connections and removable cover plate
A bent 28mm ow pipe, with two thermostat pockets, is supplied
with the boiler to be tted into the ow connection, as follows:
1. With the cover plate removed, loosen the compression nut
and t the longer leg of the bent ow pipe into the connection.
2. Ensure that the pipe is vertical and fully pushed into the
connection.
3. With the open end of the ow pipe pointing in the required
direction (see below), fully tighten the compression nut. Refer
to Figure 5-3.
4. Replace cover plate and secure with the two screws
previously removed.
Figure 5-3: 26-46 model - ow pipe tted (cover plate removed)
The direction of the bent ow pipe will depend on the ue system
being used with the boiler.
If a Grant low level balanced ue (Yellow System) or external
balanced ue system (Green System) is used, the ow pipe must
be positioned as follows:
• If the ue points towards the right of the boiler (viewed from
the front), the ow pipe must be set to point either to the right
or to the front of the boiler to avoid clashing with the ue.
• If the ue points towards the rear of the boiler, the ow pipe
must be set to point either to the rear, to the right or to the
front of the boiler to avoid clashing with the ue.
• If the ue points towards the left of the boiler (viewed from
the front), the ow pipe must be set to point either to the rear,
to the right or to the front of the boiler to avoid clashing with
the ue.
