Ideal Boilers Classic FF 350 P Installation And Servicing

6Classic FF - Propane Installation & ServicingGENERALIf the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath orshower then, providing waterjets are not going to be used forcleaning purposes (such as communal baths/showers), theappliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.Where installation will be in an unusual location, specialprocedures may be necessary and BS.6798 gives detailedguidance on this aspect.Compartment InstallationsA compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designedand constructed specially for this purpose.An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided itis modified for the purpose.In both cases details of essential features of cupboards/compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, areto conform to the following :! BS. 6798.! The position selected for installation MUST allow adequatespace for servicing in front of the boiler and for air circulationaround the boiler, see section on 'Air Supply'.! For the minimum clearances required for safety andsubsequent service, see the wall mounting diagram, Frame2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to allow liftingaccess to the wall mounting plate.GAS SUPPLYA local propane supplier should be consulted, at the installationplanning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequatesupply of gas.Installation pipes, cylinders and pressure regulators MUST befitted in accordance with BS. 5482.1. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.Pipework from the supply to the boiler MUST be of an adequatesize.Bulk tank installations must comply with the Home Office code ofpractice for the storage of liquefied petroleum gas at fixedinstallations.The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness andpurged as described in the above code.FLUE INSTALLATIONPluming may occur at the terminal so terminal positions whichwould cause a nuisance should be avoided.The flue must be installed in accordance with therecommendations of BS.5440-1:2000. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.The following notes are intended for general guidance.1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed toexternal air.2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the freepassage of air across it at all times.3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructionsand ventilation openings are specified in Table 3.4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof towhich people have access then the terminal MUST be protectedby a purpose designed guard. The minimum spacing in Table 3,Nos. 2,3, 4, 5 and 6 would be 75mm in order to allow a terminalguard to be fitted.7. Where it is essential that the terminal wall plate is fitted, i.e.wall thicknesses over 600mm (23 1/2 ") or with an inaccuratelycut hole, the minimum spacing in Table 3 Nos. 2,3, 4, 5 and 6would be 60mm (2 1/2 ") in order to allow the terminal wallplate to be fitted.IMPORTANT. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice,that products of combustion discharging from the terminal cannotre-enter the building or any other adjacent building throughventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air infiltration,or forced ventilation/air conditioning.If this should occur, the appliance MUST be turned OFF, labelled'unsafe' and corrective action taken.TERMINALThe terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodatevarious wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 10.Terminals guards are available from boiler suppliers. Ask forTFC Flue Guard, Model K1.

The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as toprevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of theboiler MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustiblematerial. Detailed recommendations on the protection ofcombustible material are given in BS.5440-1:2000.
