Pre-Installation

4 Pre-Installation
NOTICE
Risk of damage to system or appliance! Before installation All the following Pre-Installation sections must be read and
requirements met before starting appliance or flue installations.
4.1 System preparation
4.1.1 Artificially softened water The heating system must not be filled with water which has been treated using an ion exchange (salt based) water softener. Where these water softeners are installed, a permanent untreated water supply should be provided to maintain pressure in the heating system. A bypass must be provided at the water softener to comply with BS:14743. Where a permanent untreated supply cannot be provided, the system must be initially filled using the bypass provided at the water softener. Occasional topping up of the system with artificially softened water is acceptable. Inhibitor must be added to the system. The pH levels must be between 6.5 and 8.0 at the time of commissioning. When a permanent untreated supply is not provided to the heating system filling point, the pH levels must be checked annually and recorded in the service record.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to appliance! The heating system must not be filled with water which has been
treated using an ion exchange water softener. If the system is partially drained for maintenance or repair work, the
system must be refilled by utilising the bypass valve at the water softener. The pH and inhibitor levels should be checked.
4.1.2 Water systems and pipework
Primary system plastic pipework: · Any plastic pipework must have a polymeric barrier, complying with
BS 7921 and installed to BS 5955 with 600mm (minimum) length of copper connected to the appliance. · Plastic pipework used for under-floor heating must be correctly controlled with a thermostatic blending valve limiting the temperature of the circuits to approximately 50°C with 1000mm (minimum) length of copper or steel pipe connected to the appliance.
Primary system/connections/valves: · Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators. · All system connections, taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure of 3 bar. · Radiator valves should conform to BS 2767:10. · All other valves should conform to BS 1010. · It is best practice to fit Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV’s) to all
radiators, except the area where the room thermostat is sited which must be fitted with lockshield valves that are left open. · The circulating pump speed is fixed therefore as system circulation can be significantly adjusted or stopped by TRV’s or zone valves, a system bypass must be installed to give at least a 3 metre circuit when activated. · Drain cocks are required at all the lowest points on the system. · Air vents are required at all high points on the system.

Showers/Bidets: · If a shower head can be immersed in water or comes closer than
25mm from the top edge of a bath or shower tray spill-over level then an anti- siphon device must be fitted to the shower hose. · Bidets with direct hot and cold mains water can be used (with the approval of the local water authority) and must be the over rim flushing type with shrouded outlets to prevent the fitting of hand held sprays.
Hot water: · Taps and mixing valves must be capable of sustaining a pressure up to
10 bar. · Hot water temperature and flow rate are affected by the size and
insulation of pipework making up the distribution system and are controlled by the hot water tap and the water main inlet pressure. A mixing valve can be fitted if a more permanent temperature setting is required. · If using more than one outlet at once causes water flow starvation, fit flow balancing valves or Ball-O-Fix valves to the appropriate outlets. · Thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) must be fitted at the point of use as specified in G3 of the building regulations and if specific, accurate temperature control is required by the user.
Primary system considerations – Combi & System appliances
Sealed system
· The CH sealed system must be filled using a WRAS approved filling loop or comply with examples in section 4.1.4 “System fill”.
· Where the system volume is more than 100 litres or exceeds 2.5 bar at maximum heating temperature an additional expansion vessel [2] must be fitted as close as possible to the appliance in the central heating return.
· Pressurise the extra expansion vessel [2] to the same value as the built-in expansion vessel [1] (default pre-charge pressure is 0.75 bar).

Greenstar 2000 ­ 6721839340 (2023/06)

To determine whether an additional expansion vessel is required: Follow the steps below:
Calculate the total system volume (litres). ­ Plot a line vertically on the chart ( Fig. 5).
Determine the central heating maximum operating flow temperature. ­ Plot a line horizontally on the chart ( Fig. 5).
Determine the pre-charge in the expansion vessel based on static head, 1 metre = 0.1 bar. ­ Static head should be measured between the expansion vessel and the highest point on the system (top of the highest radiator).
Select a curve from the key below (1-5). System pressure should be set at 0.1 – 0.25 bar higher than the
vessel pre-charge. ­ It must be at least to the minimum on appliances with an analogue

4.2.4 Water supply
Use in hard water areas: Normally there is no need for water treatment to prevent scale formation as the maximum temperature of the DHW heat exchanger is limited by the electronic control. In areas where 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.
Keyless filling link accessory

Minimum static pressure. A minimum static cold water mains pressure of 1.75bar is
recommended for correct operation of the Keyless filling link.
Water mains pressure: · Minimum mains water pressure, for maximum performance refer to
section 13.1 “Technical data”. · Maximum mains fed water static pressure is 10 bar.
If necessary fit a pressure reducing valve.
NOTICE
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
Non-return valves in the cold water feed system.
If a non-return valve is fitted on the mains inlet, then pressure can increase significantly over normal standing pressure when the appliance carries out a DHW preheat or due to fast acting valves closing on other appliances/outlets.
To ensure water pressure stays at a level that will not damage the boiler or other household appliances, we would recommend on installations where standing pressure exceeds 3bar, that a 3 bar pressure reducing valve and mini expansion vessel are fitted.
· Where the mains water supply has a non-return, back flow prevention valve fitted, a mini expansion vessel [3] should be connected to the mains water inlet pipe [1] between the non-return valve [2] and the appliance[4] as shown below.

4.5 Condensate discharge
Full details on condensate discharge.
Follow the latest version of BS6798 and HHIC guidance.
For correct installation and trouble free operation of the appliance the following advice should be followed: 1. To minimise the risk of freezing, wherever possible, the condensate
drain should be installed internally. 2. All condensate pipe work must `fall’ from the appliance by a minimum
of 3° (52mm per metre) to ensure adequate condensate flow. 3. The pipe work route must allow air to be supplied back to the
appliance for correct operation. 4. Connection to a rainwater down pipe must include an air break.
Also: · Assessment of the risk of the condensate pipe freezing must be
carried out and appropriate precautions taken where necessary. This must take into account the specific site conditions. · The condensate pipe work connected to the condensate drain outlet on the appliance should have a minimum internal diameter (ID) of 19mm. · Keep external pipe work as short as possible. Further precautions against freezing must be taken if external pipe runs exceed 3m. · External pipe work should have a minimum internal diameter (ID) of 30mm. · Minimise the number of bends and connectors. · Remove burrs and cutting debris after the cutting pipe. · Remove surplus solvent from the interior of the pipe. · The condensate pipe work shall be run in standard drainpipe material, e.g. polyvinyl chloride (PVC), unplasticised poly vinyl chloride (PVC-U), acrylonitrilebutadiene.styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or chlorinated poly vinyl chloride (PVC.C).
4.5.1 Condensate pipework
NOTICE
General consideration
Where a new or replacement appliance is being installed, access to an internal “gravity discharge” point should be one of the factors considered in determining appliance location.
Condensate pipe connection at the appliance: The condensate pipe must have a nominally outside diameter of 22mm plastic pipe.
Ensure there are no blockages in the pipe run. Ensure that the discharge method for the installation can effectively
handle the condensate waste from the appliance.

Pre-Installation

4.5.2 Condensate production When the appliance is in operation it can produce between 1 to 2 litres of condensation per hour.
This discharge is a constant drip feed during the production of condensate and does not release in frequent large volume discharges repeatedly.
4.5.3 Internal connections

Good Practice The following guidance indicates the good practices that must be
maintained for the Installation and Maintenance of a product.
Soil stack connection Figure 31 In order to minimise risk of freezing during prolonged cold spells, the following methods of installing condensate drainage pipe should be adopted.
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed and terminated so that the condensate drains away from the appliance under gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack. A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

NOTICE
Unheated internal areas.
The condensate discharge may freeze in areas during prolonged cold temperatures.
Internal pipe runs in unheated areas such as lofts, basements and garages should be treated as external runs and consideration should be given to using a CondenseSure siphon.

NOTICE
Septic tanks Untreated condensate must not be allowed into septic tanks. Connection to systems which drain into a septic tank should be
avoided due to the risk of affecting anaerobic bacteria.
NOTICE
Rainwater down pipe or external drain disposal Untreated condensate must not be allowed to flow into streams or rivers. A rainwater down pipe or an external drain shall only be used for
condensate disposal if the down pipe or external drain is connected to a combined foul and rainwater drainage system. Refer to BS 6798 for more information on condensate disposal.
NOTICE
Grey water recovery system Contamination of recovered water Condensate disposal shall not be allowed into a grey water recovery
system that is intended for re-use.
External disposal considerations
NOTICE
Freezing conditions Frozen condensate will block the condensate drain pipe and stop the appliance from running Pipe lengths should be kept to a minimum and the routed as vertically
as possible. All external pipework must be insulated using suitable waterproof
and weather resistant insulation. If external pipework exceeds 3m, a CondenseSure or trace heating
must be installed. If a CondenseSure is fitted then the guidance for a large volume
condensate trap or CondenseSure should be applied.
NOTICE
Condensate waste disposal Care should be taken when siting a soak-away to avoid causing
damage to existing services and building footings.

Greenstar 2000 ­ 6721839340 (2023/06)

If no other discharge method is possible then the use of an externally run condensate drainage pipe terminating at a suitable foul water discharge point, or purpose-designed soak away, may be considered. If this method is chosen then the following measures should be adopted:
The external run be kept as short as possible and ideally should not exceed three metres. Additional precaution against freezing must be taken if the external pipe run does exceed three metres.
The pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going externally and the pipe diameter should be increased to a minimum internal diameter (ID) of 30mm before it passes through the wall to the exterior.
The hole through the wall for the condensate pipe should be sleeved and be sealed to the building fabric on the internal and external face using a suitable building material.
The external pipe should take the shortest and least exposed route to the discharge point, and should “fall” as steeply as possible away from the appliance, with no horizontal runs in which condensate might stand.
The use of fittings, elbows etc. should be kept to a minimum and any internal burrs on cut pipe work should be removed so that the internal pipe section is as smooth as possible.
All external pipe drainage will be improved if the end is cut at 45° as opposed to a straight cut.
In situations where there are likely to be extremes of temperature or exposure, the use of a proprietary trace-heating system for external pipe work, incorporating an external frost thermostat, should be considered. All other guidance above and the instructions for the trace heating system, should be closely followed.
As well as trace heating, other methods for protecting pipe work that are run externally should be considered to prevent freezing during prolonged periods.
­ Insulation materials can be used, these should be of class “O” grade with an outer coating that is weather proof and have a UV resistant finish. A minimum of 19mm thick insulation is recommended for 32mm external pipes.
­ The use of a drain cover (such as those to prevent leaf blockage) may offer further protection from wind chill.

Pre-Installation
Additional protection for transition through a wall. The external pipework can be insulated to help prevent freezing during prolonged cold periods. · Where insulation is required, the entire run of external pipework [5] should be insulated with a recess in the external face allowing better insulation protection coverage [4] as it transitions to the outside of the building. · The hole through the wall must be sealed to the building fabric on the internal [1] and external [3] face using a suitable building material, (use a 40mm sleeve [2] to pass the condensate pipework through and then seal the internal and external faces).

Condensate soak away considerations Before deciding to use a purpose-made soak away the history of the locality and the ability of the surrounding area to disperse the condensate should be taken into account, e.g. areas prone to flooding and ground with a high clay content can result in poor drainage with an increased risk of water logging or freezing causing the condensate pipe to become obstructed by water or ice and the boiler to shut down,
Although it is possible to increase the size of the soak away and the area with limestone chippings in clay soil areas, if the clay content is high and prevents effective dispersal of the condensate then a soak away may not be a suitable means of condensate disposal and an alternative method should be used.

The outlet pipe should be sited in such a way that it does not cause a hazard or an obstruction when discharging, for example above a window, entrance door or other public access way.
The point of termination should provide a visual indicator in case the PRV discharges.
· The pressure relief discharge pipe [1 or 3] should be run in pipe which has a diameter of at least 15mm, that is made of copper or a material that will withstand PRV discharge temperatures and pressures, and which complies with BS 5254 or BS EN 1451.
· Plastic pipework must be properly supported with a maximum of 300mm between supports to prevent sagging.
· The PRV discharge pipe must run continuously downwards away from the appliance to a safe point of discharge.
· The pressure relief should discharge away from any electrical or other hazard, preferably to an external drain or soak-away.
· The pipe [1 or 3] should be finished with a partial bend, to face the external wall (as shown) to ensure safe discharge of hot water.
· In all normal circumstances a PRV discharge pipe installation as described above sufficiently meets all but the most exceptional circumstances. ­ Where the PRV discharge pipe could be susceptible to damage, vandalism, freezing etc that could cause either a blockage or restriction in the ability to discharge safely then a tundish should be considered. The tundish should be sited in a position where damage to the property or injury to occupants cannot occur from any spillage or discharge.

4.6.2 Alternative PRV connections – Combined PRV/condensate The PRV or a combined PRV/condensate discharge can be connected into a suitable internal waste system, the installer must ensure that all the pipework, including the waste pipe, is capable of withstanding PRV temperatures and pressures.
Connection to a waste water pipe is possible by using either: · A shielded tundish with non-return valve used to discharge upstream
of a trap (there must not be a trap directly in the PRV discharge pipe without a tundish). · A PRV can discharge directly into a suitable waste pipe downstream of a trap. Connections must be on top of the pipe to ensure they do not block. A Hotun (or similar) can be fitted for visual indication if desired but is not necessary.
The guidance of BS 6798 sections 6.3.5 and 6.4.3.2a must be followed.
For installations where it is not possible to run the PRV discharge pipe continuously downwards away from the appliance, the remote PRV kit can be used to remove the PRV from the appliance and relocate it to a higher position.

4.7 Cleaning primary systems
NOTICE
Risk of damage to system or appliance! Debris from the system can damage the appliance and reduce efficiency. Failure to comply with the guidelines for the use of water treatment with the appliance will invalidate the appliance guarantee and contravene the Building Regulations. It is a requirement of the Building Services Compliance Guide which
is a second tier document to the Building Regulations to flush and inhibit the primary water system in accordance with BS 7593. The Building Services Compliance Guide recommends that a primary water cleanser is fitted to the system. Worcester Bosch recommend fitting a filter that will help remove both magnetite and non-magnetic debris.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to system or appliance! Salt based, artificially softened water that adjusts the pH value MUST
NOT be used to fill the system. Alternatively there are water softening/treatment products that do
not adjust or alter the pH levels of the water. With these products it may not be necessary to provide an untreated water by-pass to the primary water filling point of the heat system
NOTICE
Sealing agents Normally the addition of sealing agents to the system water is not permitted as this can cause problems with deposits left in the heat exchanger. Heating systems may lose small amounts of water over time. In cases
where all attempts to find a system micro leak have failed, Worcester, Bosch Group supports the use of Fernox F4 leak sealer.
Before cleaning the system: Ensure that the system and pipework is in good working order. Where possible keep the existing appliance/circulating pump in
place when flushing the system before installing the new appliance. Alternatively use an after market power flushing system or similar to remove magnetite and other debris from the central heating system. ­ Even new central heating systems contain contaminants that
need to be removed before treating the system with inhibitor/antifreeze. ­ When an appliance is installed onto a new system then it is possible to use the appliance whilst cleaning the system. A system filter must be fitted to the return to reduce the risk of contaminants entering the appliance. Follow the guidance of BS7593.

Pre-Installation

Inhibitor Add a suitable inhibitor or combined inhibitor/anti-freeze, if the system is exposed to freezing conditions, to the heating system in accordance with the DWTA code of practice and manufacturer`s guidelines.
Products approved to the BuildCert standard are deemed as compatible with the components and equipment within the appliance and system.

The inhibitor or combined inhibitor/anti-freeze must not cause damage to the materials within the appliance (aluminium, mild steel, stainless steel, copper and brass) and any other materials/components within the system.
The concentration level of inhibitor in the system should be checked every 12 months or sooner if system content is lost.

Water treatment products
Suitable water treatment products can be obtained from the following manufacturers:
