10.3.5 Pipework
All pipework including pipework within the casing should be insulated after the boiler has
been installed. Pipe insulation with a minimum wall thickness of 19mm (Armaflex or
equivalent) should be used wherever possible. For exterior pipework insulation, please see
the latest local building regulations for details.
10.3.6 Tank thermostat
The tank thermostat adjustment is located on the back of the control panel. This may be
adjusted higher or lower dependent on the installation. For maximum efficiency, it is
recommended to set the thermostat to the lowest temperature which will still provide
adequate hot water temperatures at all outlets. This may involve raising the mixer valve
setting.
10.3.7 Balanced flue
Due to the relatively high ambient temperature within the combi casing, a balanced flue
should be fitted in order to draw in cooler outside air. For external Kabin Pak combi
models, an air inlet adapter, AID, is available from Warmflow.
10.3.8 Plinth / Base
The boiler should be installed on a plinth or base with a thermal break such as non-
combustible solid insulation. This is to minimise heat transfer to the ground and maximise
the overall efficiency of the boiler.
