Introduction
Instructions for installation and servicing ecoTEC 839592_13 5
1
boiler for central heating and domestic hot water (where
a separate indirect hot water storage cylinder is also
incorporated in the system).
The ecoTEC system boiler consists of models with
outputs of 12, 15, 18, 24, 30 and 37 kW.
All ecoTEC system boilers are available in Natural Gas.
The ecoTEC plus 618 and 630 are also available in LPG.
1.7 General Notes
The boilers have been designed for use with a sealed
c
entral heating system, and come fully tested and
assembled with a built in circulating pump, expansion
vessel and diverter valve (ecoTEC combination boilers).
The boilers are easily mounted on any internal wall and
can be installed with either a horizontal or vertical RSF
(room sealed fan assisted) flue.
The boilers use a standard flue system (100 mm or
125 mm outside diameter). Flue extensions and
additional bends and elbows are available for the flue
system to increase the flexibility. If desired, an inhibitor
may be used in the system. Guidance on the use of
inhibitors is contained in these instructions.
All boilers have a built in diagnostic system which
indicates the operational status of the boiler. This
feature provides key information to aid commissioning
and fault finding. The data badge is fitted to the
underside of the boiler. See text of General
Requirements for installation requirements or notes.
1.8 Intended use
The Valliant ecoTEC are state-of-the-art appliances
which ha
ve been constructed in accordance with
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, danger to
the life and limb of the user or third parties can still
occur or the appliance or other material assets be
impaired in the event of improper use.
The unit is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the unit by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children must be watched to ensure that they do not
play with the unit.
The appliance is designed to generate heat for
connecting to hot water central heating systems and for
instantaneous hot water supply (ecoTEC combination
boilers only). Any other use or extended use is
considered to be improper. The manufacturer or supplier
is not liable for any resulting damage. The user alone
bears the risk.
Intended use includes the observance of the operating
and installation manual and the adherence to the
inspection and maintenance conditions.
Improper use of any kind is prohibited.

Vaillant Ltd. supports the Benchmark initia-
tive. At the rear of this guide, you will find a
Benchmark gas boiler commissioning check-
list. It is very important that this is completed
correctly at the time of installation, commis-
sioning and hand over to the user.
Benchmark places responsibilities on both
manufacturers and installers. The purpose is
to ensure that customers are provided with
the correct equipment for their needs, that it
is installed, commissioned and serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions by a competent person approved at the
time by the Health and Safety Executive and
that it meets the requirements of the approp-
riate Building Regulations.
The Benchmark Checklist can be used to
demonstrate compliance with Building Regula-
tions and should be provided to the customer
for future reference. Installers are required to
carry out installation, commissioning and ser-
vicing work in accordance with the Bench-
mark Code of Practice which is available from
the Heating and Hot water Industry Council
who manage and promote the Scheme.
