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" version boilers must be instal-
led in adequately ventilated domestic
rooms. It is essential that in rooms where
the boiler are installed at least as much air
can arrive as required by normal combu-
stion 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.
Models "25 BF", with a hermetically sealed
combustion chamber and air supply cir-
cuit,may be installed in any room in the
home.
2.2 INSTALLATION PLATE
The op tional ins t allation plat e code
8075416 is supplied with an instruction
sheet for the fixing.
2.2. 1 Curve and gas/hot water tap kit
Follow the instructions shown in fig. 4 to
assemble the components supplied in optio-
nal kit code 8075418.
2.2.2 Fitting isolating valves (optional)
To fit the isolating valves, supplied in kit code
8091806, follow the instructions mentio-
ned in fig. 4/a.
2.2.3 Replacement wall kit
for other makes
For assembly of the optional kit code
8093900 refer to the instruction sheet
provided with the kit.
2.3 CONNECTING UP SYSTEM
Wash all system pipes well before hooking
them up with the boiler to eliminate any
residues which could compromise its func-
tioning. 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 provided
with gaskets, excluding three-piece connec-
tions, except for initial and end connections.
Where the piping has to pass through walls,
a suitable insulating sleeve must be provi-
ded. When sizing gas piping, from the meter
to the boiler, take into account both the volu-
me flow rates (consumption) in m
the relative density of the gas in 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 pr essur e 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.
2.3. 1 Filter on the gas pipe
The gas valve is supplied ex factory with an
inlet filter, which, however, is not adequate
to entrap all the impurities in the gas or in

To prevent malfunctioning of the valve, or in
certain cases even to cut out the safety
device with which the valve is equipped,
install an adequate filter on the gas pipe.
2.4 CHARACTERISTICS
OF FEEDWATER
To prevent lime scale and damage to the
tap water exchanger, the water supplied
should have a hardness of no more than
20°F. In all cases the water used should be
tested and adequate treatment devices
should be installed.
To prevent lime scale or deposits on the pri-
mary exchanger, the water used to supply
/h and the heating circuit should must be treated
3
in accordance with UNI-CTI 8065 stan-
dards.
It is absolutely essential that the water is to
be treated in the following cases:
– very extensive system (with high con-
tents of feedwater);
– frequent addition of makeup water into
the system;
– should it be necessary to empty the
system either partially or totally.
2.5 SYSTEM FILLING (fig. 5)
Filling of the boiler and the system is done
by the charge cock (2). The charge pressu-
re, with the system cold, must be between
1 and 1.2 bar.
During system filling you are recommended
to keep the main switch turned OFF.
Filling must be done slowly so as to allow
