Installation Manual
GAS CONNECTIONS
The gas supply must be connected up by qualified person.
The following standards must be complied with: UNICIG 7131/72 and UNICIG 7129/92 (of 21/04/93)
Before installing the boiler, make sure of the following:
• the pipeline must be of an adequate section and length to carry the flow required and must be fitted with all safety devices
and measures prescribed by current norms;
• before turning on the boiler make sure the type of gas which it is designed to run on is available
• the gas supply pressure must lie within the values shown on the plate it is recommended that the gas supply pipeline should
be checked for residual obstructions
before installing the boiler;

• where the internal gas supply pipe
meets the boiler, a gas shutter cock
must be fitted which has the same
diameter as the gas inlet pipe;
• check thoroughly that the gas inlets
and outlets are properly sealed.
• conversion to allow the boiler to run on
LPG to natural gas or vice versa must
be carried out by a qualified gas fitter in
accordance with law no.46 of 5th March
‘90 (see p.18).
ANTI-FREEZE SYSTEM
ANTI-FROST SYSTEM
Radiant boilers are equipped with an Anti-
Freeze system which comes into operation
when the temperature falls to 5° C (Heating
sensor) and 4° C (Hot water sensor) and
protects the boiler down to –10°C external
temperature.
To protect the internal Radiators, a room
thermostat or remote control must be fitted.
NOTE: The frost system will only come into
operation if the boiler is filled with water,
and connected to a live gas supply, with
electrical supply and boiler controls in the
“ON” position (With the Main switch turned
to Summer or Winter position) and the gas
supply turned on.
N.B. For external installations, see instructions at page 6.
FOR THE INSTALLER
For boilers installed outdoors, where the temperature may drop below -2° degrees Centigrade, the system should be filled with
antifreeze liquid by an authorised technician and a set of electrical heating elements should be fitted to protect the domestic hot
water heat exchanger.
ADVICE FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN
If the boiler is out of service because it is frozen, check that no parts have been locked in position by ice before putting it into
operation.
It is advisable to empty the boiler and the system in case of no operation for a long period.
Recommended percentage of glycol for temperatures down to - 8°C is 20%.The antifreeze liquid used must be of a good make
and in a solution which has already been diluted to avoid the risk of uncontrolled dilution.
