Mains water pressure
• Maximum mains fed water pressure 10 bar. If necessary, fit a
pressure reducing valve.
• Where the water main supply has a non-return, back flow prevention
valve fitted, a mini expansion vessel (A) must be connected to the
mains water inlet pipe (B) between the non-return valve (C) and the
boiler (D) as shown below.

Use in hard water areas
Normally there is no need for water treatment to prevent scale formation
as the maximum temperature of the heat exchanger is limited by the
electronic control circuit.
In areas where the temporary water hardness exceeds 200ppm,
consideration may need to be given to the fitting of a scale prevention
device. In such circumstances, the advice of the local water authority
should be sought.
4.3 Oil supply
• This appliance is suitable for Kerosene (Class C2) only, no other
fuel must be used.
• Plastic or steel tanks should be installed to BS 5410.
A steel tank should conform to BS 799: part 5 and have a slope of
1:24 away from the outlet with a sludge cock at the lower end.
• Do not use galvanised steel tanks or pipework for the oil system.
• Do not use soldered joints on the oil supply pipework.
4.3.1 Single pipe gravity feed system:
The oil storage tank [1] must be positioned so that the oil level does not
exceed 4 metres above the level of the burner oil pump [9] and in
addition the oil level must be at least 300mm above the oil pump [9].
Where the maximum oil level in the oil storage tank exceeds 4 metres, a
head breaking device must be installed between the tank [1] and the
burner oil pump [9].

4.3.2 Double pipe sub-gravity feed system:
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. Non-return valves must be fitted to
the inlet and return oil line between the oil pump [9] and oil storage tank
[1].

NOTICE: Boiler damage
▶ Non-return, back flow prevention devices (including
those associated with water meters) fitted to the
mains water supply can cause a pressure build up
which could damage the boiler and other household
appliances.

NOTICE: Contaminated oil supplies can damage the
appliance.
Failure to ensure that the oil supply is clear of
contaminants may invalidate the appliance warranty.
▶ Ensure the oil supply is free of contaminates and
measures are taken to prevent contamination of the
appliance.

All dimensions are in metres unless otherwise stated.
The maximum pipe run figures are based on using
copper pipe with an inside diameter of 2mm less than
the outside diameter.
