Rayburn Regent - Site Preparation and Boiler Installation; Flue and Chimney System Integration

Important Note :
These instructions
must be
strictly
observed . If they
ire disregarded (e .g . anunlagged or over-size
cylinder), consumption of fuel maybe excessive, and
thecooker damaged by overfiring .
PREPARATION OF THE SITE
The hearth, walls adjacent to the cooker, and the
chimney must conform to the current building
regulations . The position of the flue outlet is
indicated in
the dimensioned drawings . Alternative flue layouts are
illustrated
.
The flue chamber is adaptable to
give either a
top or back outlet . The back outlet is used when there is
a brick flue immediately behind
the cooker, the top
outlet when the cooker is connected to the main flue by
means of cast iron flue pipe .
When the cooker is installed in a recess,
it
must
be
'free
standing' and not built - in solid at the sides . Adequate
space at the boiler side must
be
allowed for withdrawal
of the boiler for cleaning, if necessary .
NB : When a Rayburn cooker is supplied with a
platerack, an optional extra, the overall height from
the hearth level to the top of the platerack is 54 :x"
(1395) .
The
recess should be at least 6"
higher than
these overall heights to accommodate dinner plates .
THE BOILER
Unscrew the sheet metal cover plate on the side of the
cooker and
remove the
insulating material from behind
it . Joint the flow and return connections to the boiler,
replace the insulating material and screw on the cover
plate and collars .
The
boiler is now ready for connection to the hot water
cylinder . Make sure that there are no dips in the flow
pipe
between the boiler and cylinder . It is advisable to fit
a drain-off cock on the return pipe close to the cooker .
Important : Lift out the hotplate and cement seal the
joint
between the boiler face and its locating face on
the firebox sides with the fire cement provided .
Renew any brickwork cemented joints that may
have opened up in transit .
THE HOT PLATE
Lift off the surface ground hot plate and check that the
joints
between the underside of the hob, and the top of
the cooker are intact . Any joints which have opened up
should
be made good
with
the fire cement provided .
Replace hot plate making sure that it is seating properly
on the asbestos rope . It should be approximately Xe'
proud of the enamelled hob with an equal
space
all
round
.
When lighting the fire for the first time,
allow the cooker
to heat up gradually .
FIREBRICK REPLACEMENT
The firebricks fitted to Rayburn Cookers are of first
quality manufacture,
and providing the cooker has been
installed
and
used correctly will have a reasonable life .
They are, however,
expendable items and in time will
require renewal .

The renewal of firebricks is not a major operation and
can be
carried
out by the
average handyman .
Replacement bricks either in sets or singly can be
obtained from your Rayburn distributor
.
FLUE LAYOUTS
In Fig .1 the Rayburn is installed in an existing recess .

f
There mustbe a clearance of not less than 6' between
the top of the flue pipe and any overhanging
brickwork .
Any cavities or pockets above the register plate should
as far as possible be filled and if necessary the flue
pipe
should be extended into the throat of the chimney and a
soot door provided for chimney sweeping .
In Fig .2 the Rayburn is connected direct to a brick flue .
In Fig .3 the Rayburn is connected to an existing brick
flue with
a
length
of
flue
pipe . Square
bends and
horizontal runs must not be used . There must be a
cleaning door at every bend .
Note : Whatever method of installation
is
employed
air must not be allowed to enter the chimney except
through the cooker . All joints
must be
air-tight .
Provision must always be made for sweeping the
chimney
.
Important : Asbestos cement pipes
and
fittings
should not beused within 6' of the cooker .
Chimneys of plain pipe
are
not
recommended
but
certain proprietary makers of insulated chimneys arl,
suitable .
