Appliance description
2.1
2.1.1
Safety devices
Overheating safety
The appliance is designed to recognise the potential for an
overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens.
2.1.2
Safety discharge valve
A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe are fitted to the
boiler. This valve must not be touched.
-- The heating safety valve opens when the pressure in the
heating circuit exceeds 3 bars.
• Should there be any discharge from the pipe, isolate the
boiler electrical supply and call your installer or Glow-worm’s
own service organisation.
2.1.3
Frost protection
The frost protection system operates the pump to start as soon
as the temperature in the heating circuit falls below 12°C. The
pump stops as soon as the temperature of the water contained
in the heating circuit reaches 15°C.
If the temperature in the heating system falls below 7°C, the
burner ignites until it reaches 35°C.
The frost-protection system is active when the appliance is
switched on.
The system alone cannot ensure that the installation is
protected against frost. An separate frost thermostat is
necessary to control the temperature of the system.
a
2.1.4
Your domestic water circuit (hot or cold) is not
protected by the boiler.
Condensate drain blockage
During freezing conditions this may be due to the forming of
ice in the condense drain external to the house. In this case, a
safety device shuts down the appliance.

‘Hard’ water areas
The temperatures within the heat exchanger are limited by the
boiler control system to minimise scale formation within the hot
water pipework. However, in areas where the water is ‘hard’ (i.e.
more than 200 mg/L of calcium carbonate), it is recommended
that the hot water setting is reduced and that a scale reducer
is fitted, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the
local water company for additional advice.

2 Hanging bracket
• Lifting the boiler into position, lean the top of the boiler
slightly to the wall and position just above the hanging
bracket.
• Lower the boiler slowly and engage onto the hanging bracket
• If fitting a side flue, extend the flue centre line into the corner
then 130mm along the adjacent wall.
• If fitting an extended side flue, determine the flue hole centre
by extending the dashed inclined line on the template to the
side wall. This dashed line is drawn at 44mm/metre (2.5o)
rise from the boiler. Where this line reaches the side wall, a
horizontal line should be marked. The vertical centre line of
the flue should then be marked at 130mm from the back wall.
To allow for the flue passing through the wall at this angle
a 125mm hole should be drilled irrespective of internal or
external installation.
Hanging bracket fixing
Due to the varied site conditions the fixings supplied may not be
suitable, please make sure that those used are.

• Connect the boiler condensate drain (1) to a condensate
discharge pipe which should be minimum of 19 mm
internal diameter and be made of an acid resistant material
(e.g. plastic overflow pipe). Do not use metal pipes. It is
permissible to use a condensate neutraliser providing that it
is checked for correct operation.
The volume of condensates evacuated can reach
about 15 litres per day for a detached house. This
volume is negligible compared to the volume of
waste water discharged by a house, because the
condensates are diluted in this water.
• Refer to BS5546 and BS6798 for advice on disposal of boiler
condensate.

openings are shown in diagram overleaf.
In IE the minimum distances for flue terminal positioning must
be those detailed in I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing free
passage of air across it at all times.
Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from
the flue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when
selecting the position for the terminal.
Carports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one

Corrosion and anti-sludge protection
24
V
In order to avoid corrosion, the addition of a corrosion inhibiter
to the heating circuit water is recommended. The inhibiter will
stop electrolytic reaction and bacterial growth between the
different metals used in the installation.
It will also avoid the formation of gas which could be produced
following the chemical reactions.
It is especially important to treat the water in underfloor heating
systems, as low temperatures favour bacterial growth. This can
lead to the formation of sludge, which in turn may block some or
all of the circuits.
In order to add the correct dosage of these products, you must
know the volume of water contained in the installation. It is
recommended that you note down the volume for future needs.
The inhibitors must be compatible with the materials employed
in the installation.
