INSTALLATION

The boiler must be installed in a fixed loca-
tion and only by specialized and qualified
firms in compliance with all instructions
contained in this manual.
Furthermore, the installation must be in
accordance with current standards and
regulations.
2. 1 VENTILATION OF
BOILER ROOM
The "25 OF - 30 OF" version boilers must
be installed in adequately ventilated dome-
stic rooms. It is essential that in rooms
where the boiler are installed at least as
much air can arrive as required by normal
combustion of the gas consumed by the
various appliances.
Consequently, it is necessary to make ope-
nings in the walls for the air inlet into the
rooms.
These openings must meet the following
requirements:
– have a total free section of at least 6
cm 2 for every kW of heat input, with a
minimum of 100 cm ;
2
– They must be located as close as possi-
ble to floor level, not prone to obstruc-
tion and protected by a grid which does
not reduce the effective section required
for the passage of air.
The "25 BF - 30 BF" version boilers may
instead be installed, without any con-
straints regarding location or supply of air
for combustion, in any domestic rooms.
2.2 INSTALLATION PLATE
To mount the installation plate supplied as
an optional extra (kit code 8075407), follow
the instructions written below (fig. 4):
– Fix the connecting sheet to plate (A) and
lower plate (B).
– With the template complete, fix plate (A)
to the wall using the two boiler support

CONNECTING UP SYSTEM

Before proceeding to connect up the boiler,
Fig. 4 you are recommended to make the air cir-
culating in the piping in order to eliminate
any foreign bodies that might be detrimental
to the operating efficiency of the appliance.
The discharge pipe of the safety valve
must be connected to a collector funnel
for channelling away any discharge if the
safety valve goes into action.
If the heating system is on a higher floor
than the boiler, install the on/off taps sup-
plied in kit code 8091806 on the heating
system delivery/return pipes.
The gas connection must be made using
seamless steel pipe (Mannesmann type),
galvanized and with threaded joints provi-
ded with gaskets, excluding three-piece con-
nections, except for initial and end connec-
tions. Where the piping has to pass through
walls, a suitable insulating sleeve must be
provided. When sizing gas piping, from the
meter to the boiler, take into account both
the volume flow rates (consumption) in
m /h and the relative density of the gas in
3
question.
The sections of the piping making up the
system must be such as to guarantee a
supply of gas sufficient to cover the maxi-
mum demand, limiting pressure loss
between the gas meter and any apparatus
being used to not greater than:
– 1.0 mbar for family II gases (natural gas);
– 2.0 mbar for family III gases (butane or
propane).
An adhesive data plate is sticked inside the
front panel; it contains all the technical data
identifying the boiler and the type of gas for
which the boiler is arranged.
