REQUIREMENTS

Regulations andstandards to beobserved

Vaillant ecoMAX boilers arecertified as heating boilers with corresponding flue systems according to EC Directive90/396/EEC on gas-fireddevices. This installation manual iscovered by this certification and isreferred to in the design approvaltest certificate.

These instructions should be readin conjunction with the instructionsfor installation and servicing supplied with the boiler.

Ensure also that all legislation,rules, regulations and directivesmentioned in the installationinstructions are observed.

The installation of the boiler andits flue must be carried out by acompetent person who is registered with CORGI (TheCouncil for Registered GasInstallers).

The installation of the boiler andflue must be in accordance withthe Gas Safety (Installation andUse) Regulations 1998 and theBuilding Regulations and BS 5440 Part 1.

The requirements for flue termination detailed in the boilerinstallation instructions must beobserved.

Two types of flue system are available for ecoMAX boilers. Thestandard concentric flue system(100 mm outside diameter) and alarger diameter concentric system(125 mm outside diameter) whichallows longer air/flue duct lengthsto be achieved.

The air/flue duct operates at verylow temperatures therefore noclearance is necessary betweenthe air duct and adjacent services.

Ensure while installation work isbeing carried out that no debrissuch as swarf, filings or fragmentsof mortar are allowed to remainin the air/flue duct.

INSTALLATION OF THE HORIZONTAL AIR/FLUE DUCT (TOP OUTLET)

Once the position of the flue exithole has been determined, thehole should be cut through thewall using a core drill of 125 mmdiameter.Note: If access can be gained tothe proposed flue exit point fromoutside the dwelling, the hole canbe cut with a 107 mm core drilland the flue external wall seal fitted from outside the dwelling.

Measure the distance from the outside face of the wall to the centre of the fan outlet on the boiler.

This is dimension A.

Cut the air duct and flue duct tothe lengths shown in figure 3.4.

All flue sockets should pointtowards the terminal.

When cutting the air and flueducts it is important to remove anyburrs with a file, this ensures easyfitting of the ducts and preventsany rough edges from damagingthe flue seals.Care should be taken not toscratch the white surface of the airduct.

If the installation requires the useof air/flue duct extensions, additional bends or elbows referto the sections on pages 20 21.

Secure the air duct sectionstogether by drilling a 3 mmdiameter hole through the locationhole in the end of the outer airduct. (Ensure that the drill doesnot pierce the inner flue duct).Secure the air ducts together usingthe screw provided.

FITTING AIR/FLUE DUCT EXTENSIONS

How to add extensions

Use a saw, tin-snips, etc. to cut tubesto size.

No tools are required whenseparating extensions for cutting tosize air and flue tubes separately.When doing so, the flue conduitshould be twisted into a positionwhere the shoulders on the plastictube can be pushed through thespacer-piece. After cutting to size,refit the flue conduit and secure itto the air conduit.

Tip:Start by measuring the requiredlength of air conduit* (Lair), and thencalculate the corresponding length offlue conduit (Lexhaust) as follows:

Lexhaust = Lair + 40 mm

Lexhaust = length of flue conduitLair = length of air conduit

* Minimum length of air-conduitextension: 80 mm.

The seals are sensitive to mineraloil-based grease products. For thisreason, the seals must not begreased. If the seals need wettingto aid in installation, use wateronly.

De-burr and file down any roughedges on the tubes before fitting inorder to prevent damage to theseals. Remove all metal filings andother debris.

Do not use damaged or dentedtubes, as they will not form anadequate seal.

Ensure that the seals remaincorrectly aligned when installingthe tubes. Do not fit damagedseals.

Secure the exhaust conduit withthe fixing device in order to ensurethat it is correctly centred relativeto the air conduit.

INSTALLING THEAIR/FLUE DUCT SLIDINGSLEEVE NOTE:

For installations where there is in-sufficient movement to allow fittingof the flue into flue outlet, a slid-ing sleeve (Accy. No. 303 215) isavailable. When using the slidingsleeve both the air and flue ductsof the last extension must beshortened by a further 85 mm.

Push the sliding sleeve (1) over thecut end of the flue duct (2).

Place the air duct clamp (7) overthe air duct.

Pull back the sliding sleeve so thatit engages into the socket (3) ofthe boiler (4). Ensure that thesliding sleeve penetrates thesocket such that there is at least20 mm engagement at both endsof the sliding sleeve.

Fit the air duct clamp over the airducts (5 and 6) of theextension/terminal and boileroutlet. Close the snap clamp.

Drill two holes 3 mm diameterthrough the air duct clamp (thecentre of the holes should be 6mm from the edge of the clamp).Ensure that the drill does notpenetrate the inner flue duct.Screw the air duct clamp to theair duct of the sleeve using thescrews provided.

Complete the installation of theflue as detailed in theseinstructions.

IMPORTANT:The flue hole should be cut with aslight rise to outside of 3 1(equivalent to 50 mm 20 mm riseper metre length).

Side flue installations For installations where the air/flue

duct is to be installed to the side,the position of the flue exit holecan be determined as follows:

Identify the correct measurementas shown in fig. 3.2, carefullymeasure the distance from the bottom centre of the boiler hanging bracket (centreline of thetwo lower hanging bracket fixingholes). This gives the position ofthe centreline of the 127 mm flueelbow and adaptor when installed.

The position of the flue exit holecan be determined by carefullylevelling across the wall from thismark.

The position of the flue exit holeshould allow the flue to be installed with an upwards slopetowards the terminal of approximately 3 1, equivalentto 50 mm 20 mm rise per metreof flue length. Calculate therequired rise according to the fluelength and mark the position ofthe flue exithole.

Note: Due to the long lengths of fluepossible and the slope required, itmay be necessary to adjust the location of the boiler installation template. Please check that both theboiler installation site and flue termination are in accordance withthese instructions prior to drilling anyholes for the boiler hanging bracket. Once the position of the flue exit

hole has been determined, thehole should be cut through thewall using a core drill of 127 mmdiameter. The flue exit hole shouldbe cut with a rise towards outsideof 3.

Measure the distance from the outside face of the wall to the centre of the fan outlet on the boiler (fig. 4.5).This is dimension A.

For installations where the measured distance dimension A(fig. 6) is greater than 960 mm,an air/flue extension accessorywill be required. The number ofair/flue duct extensions which canbe used depends on the boiler.

Preparation Determine the installation site for

the boiler with reference to theinstallation and servicing instructions supplied with the boiler.

Ensure that all installation and service clearances are availableand that the boiler flue can beinstalled as detailed in theseinstructions.

Fix the paper template, suppliedwith the boiler, to the wall ensuring that the centreline of thetemplate is vertical using a plumbline or spirit level.

Taking each extension to be used,fit the flue duct into the air ductand secure using the 3 screwsprovided.

For ease of measuring and marking the air/flue duct extensions, assemble them looselytogether with the air/flue duct andterminal assembly as shown (fig.4.6).

Note: The joints between the flue ductsections are of a push-fit type, withthe flue duct spigot inserted into asocket containing a sealing ring. Forease of installation lubricate the sealusing soap solution prior to assembling. Assemble the flue such that there

is a gap of about 10 mm betweeneach air duct, which will ensurethe correct flue duct penetrationinto the flue sockets of 30 mm. All flue sockets should pointtowards the flue terminal.

Measure from the flue terminaland mark the air duct to a lengthof:Dimension A + 60 mm

Take the extension(s) to be shortened and remove the 3 screws. Separate the ducts.

Note: For assembly reasons do notshorten any air duct to a length ofless than 100 mm. If necessary shorten two adjacent extensions toachieve the overall required length. Cut the air duct square and

remove any burrs. Refit the flue duct into the air duct

and secure using the 3 screws. Cut the flue duct as detailed in

fig. 4.7. When cutting the air and flue

ducts it is important to remove anyburrs with a file, this ensures easyfitting of the ducts and preventsany rough edges from damagingthe flue seals.

Care should be taken not toscratch the white surface of the airduct.

If the installation requires the useof air/flue duct extensions, additional bends or elbows referto the sections on pages 40 - 42.

At this stage it is necessary toprepare and fit the boiler onto thehanging bracket refer to theboiler installation instructions.

How to add extensions

Use a saw, tin-snips, etc. to cut tubesto size.

No tools are required whenremoving previously-fittedextensions for cutting to size airand flue tubes separately. Whendoing so, the flue conduit shouldbe twisted into a position wherethe shoulders on the plastic tubecan be pushed through the spacer-piece. After cutting to size, refitthe flue conduit and secure it tothe air conduit.

Tip:Start by measuring the requiredlength of air conduit* (Lair), and thencalculate the corresponding length offlue conduit (Lexhaust) as follows:

Lexhaust = Lair + 40 mm

Lexhaust = length of flue conduitLair = length of air conduit

* Minimum length of air-conduitextension: 100 mm.

The seals are sensitive to mineraloil-based grease products. For thisreason, the seals must not begreased. If the seals need wettingto aid in installation, use wateronly.

De-burr and file down any roughedges on the tubes before fitting inorder to prevent damage to theseals. Remove all metal filings andother debris.

Do not use damaged or dentedtubes, as they will not form anadequate seal.

Ensure that the seals remaincorrectly aligned when installingthe tubes. Do not fit damagedseals.

Secure the exhaust conduit withthe fixing device in order to ensurethat it is correctly centred relativeto the air conduit.
