201 is a wall mounted combination boiler for Central Heating (C.H.) and domestic Hot
Water (D.H.W.).
The boiler is of light weight construction and the heat exchanger provides Central Heating and Domestic
Hot Water from an integrally designed unit. The boiler contains its own expansion vessel for sealed systems.
The wall mounting jig contains all the isolating cocks for the water and gas supplies which can be fitted to
the wall and provided with all the necessary gas and water connections prior to the boiler being attached.
The Central Heating and the Domestic Hot Water temperature is controlled by the Honeywell Modureg valve
in conjunction with the P.C.B. There is a limit thermostat on the central heating circuit which operates at 88°C.
There is also an overheat cut-off thermostat which will shut the boiler down completely and this thermostat
operates at 100°C. The boiler is fited with its own Central Heating pump. The pump is switched ON/OFF
by the time clock and/or a 24 Volt room thermostat. The pump circuit also has a 6 minute over-run time. There
is a Domestic Hot Water flow switch fitted and when there is a demand for Domestic Hot Water (flow
of more than 0.5 gallon/minute, 2.5 litre/minute) the Central Heating pump is switched off making available
the maximum output of the gas burner for Domestic Hot Water. On the P.C.B. the maximum output for Central
Heating can be set. This does not influence the maximum output for domestic hot water.
At the factory the central heating output is pre-set to maximum. The appliance is not suitable for external
installation.

Location of Boiler
The installation of the
201 must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will
provide an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly. A satisfactory flue with a minimum of
600 mm (2 ft.) rising vertically above the draught diverter must also be provided, terminating in a British Gas
Approved cowl.
The location must also provide adequate room for servicing.
The location must also be provided with an adequate air supply for combustion purposes. The boiler must
not be installed in a room containing a bath or shower, or in a bedroom or bed-sitting room. In installations
of an unusual location, special procedures are necessary and BS 6798 gives detailed guidance on this
aspect. The location should be as centralised as possible with the water piping system and in an area not
subjected to frost conditions.
Flue system
Detailed recommendations for flue are given in BS 5440 Part. 1. The following notes are intended for general
guidance. The cross sectional area of flue serving the boiler must not be less than the area of the flue outlet
of the appliance.
The flue should terminate in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1. The boiler has a flue spigot designed for
aluminium or stainless steel flue pipe. If double walled flue pipe is used, it should be of a type accepted by
British Gas. Always use a split flue clip or flanged joint above the flue diverter to allow the removal of the boiler.
A vertically rising flue above the diverter for a minimum length of 600 mm (2 ft.) is required before any bend
is fitted, which should not be a 90° pattern. The flue pipe must be adequately supported and not be in contact
with any inflammable material.
If any existing chimney is to be used, it should be lined with a stainless steel flexible liner or any other liner
acceptable to British Gas. (Chimneys lined with salt glazed earthenware pipes are acceptable if the pipes
conform to BS 65.). The number of metal flue liner joints should be kept to the minimum for connecting the
boiler to an existing flue, the flue must be clean of any soot or loose material. Dampers must be removed.
The flue should be, as far as is practical, vertically rising with the avoidance of horizontal runs. The metal flue
pipe listed above should form the initial connection from the boiler to the existing chimney (and liner). Refer
to page 12 if an extraction fan is fitted in the area.
Air supply
Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5440 Part. 2. The following notes are intended to give guidance.
Room or internal air space supply:
The
201 requires a permanent air vent for combustion air either from the room direct to outside air
or to an adjacent room which must itself have a permanent air vent of the same size, direct to outside air. The
minimum size of this air vent must be: 94 cm2 free a (14 in2). A proprietry air vent may be marked with its
effective free area, if not, this infor-mation can usually be supplied by the maker. The vent should be designed
to diffuse the air in windy conditions and should be sited to reduce room draughts, i.e. at top level. The
aperture in the vent should not pass preferably, a 10 mm (318 in.) ball but allow the entry of a 5 mm (3116
in.) ball. (Additional gauzes or screens should not be used).
Existing air vents should be taken into account when assessing air vent requirements. An air vent in an
internal wall should not communicate with a bedroom, toilet, bathroom or kitchen and should not be more than
450 mm (18 in.) above floor level in order to reduce the spread of smoke in the event of a fire. An air vent
direct to outside air must not be loca-ted less than 600 mm (2 ft.) away from any part of an open flued terminal.
Cupboard or compartment air supply:
If the appliance is to be installed in a compartment or cupboard if existing, it should be of sufficient size. This
compart-ment or cupboard must have permanent air vents for combustion air, flue dilution and cooling
purpose!s, the vents being positioned at high and low level. The following minimum size of air vents (free area)
are required:
Position of Air vent
Air from room or internal space
Air direct from outside
High
252 cm2 (38 in2)
126 cm2 (19 in2)
Low
504 cm2 (76 in2)
252 cm2 (38 in2)
NOTE
Both air vents must communicate with the same room or must be on the same outside wall to outside air.
Where cupboard compartment air vents are open to a room, the room itself must have a permanent air vent(s)
as previously specified.
IMPORTANT
If the boiler is installed in hair dressers premises, ventilation must not be from areas in which aerosol hair
spray is being used. Any spray or materials emitting volatile vapours can be a source of ignition from the
perrnanent pilot of the boiler. Propellants of aerosol srays and fumes of volatile compounds in addition to
being highly flammable in many cases, will also change to corrosive hydrochloric acid when exposed to the
products of combustion of the boiler. The results may be hazardous, causing service problems and produce
failure.

Effect of an extract fan
If there is type of extract fan fitted in the premises, there is the possibility with open flued appliances, that if inadequate
fresh air vents are not provided, spillage of products from the flue diverter could take place, when the fan is in operation.
Where such installations are found, a test for spillage must be carried out as described in Part. 1 of BS 5440, and the
necessary action taken.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas Region should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas Region.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas Region, or by a Local Gas Region's Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 2.72 m3/h of natural gas.
WE REQUIRE 22 mm PIPE FROM THE METER TO THE BOILER.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6891-1988. All pipework must be
adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted on manifold assembly.
Water System
It must be a sealed system. Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part. 2. Pipework
not forming part of the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e. in roof
spaces or ventilated underfloor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the system in accessible
locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be in accordance with BS2879. Copper tubing
to BS2871, Part. 1 is recommended for water carrying pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should have a gradient where
possible to facilitate the removal of air. It should be ensured that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural point for collecting
air. A typical heating system with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fig. 5.
Important - A bypass must be fitted as far as possible from the boiler if thermostatic radiator valves are fitted throughout.

1. Filling point C.H.
2. Temporary connection
3. Cold water supply
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of
filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the
mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water
Byelaw. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fit a water softener or descaler in «hard water areas». A 15 mm copper connection point on the boiler jig bracket for
attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply is 10 bar (145 P.S.I.). If the
cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar, a water governor or pressure reducing valve must be fitted by the installer into the mains supply
in an inconspicuous but accessible position.
Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - Is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain water
undertakers will not accept their use above ground.

Refer to section 1, items a, c, d, f and j.
b)
Disconnect the electrical connections to the time clock.
c)
Remove the time clock from the control panel (fig. 43).
d)
Re-assemble in reverse order (refer to fig. 43 for replacement of
the time clock).
4.1
Procedure
4.1.1 The supply cable must not be no less than 0.75 mm (24x0.2
mm) to BS6500 table 16.
4.1.2 The earth conductor must be cut longer than the live and neutral (fig. 14).
Connect the Supply Cable to the terminal block marked 240 V ~ 50 Hz, L, N, the supply cable is to be connected
as follows:
i)
Connect the brown wire to the L (live) terminal).
ii)
The blue wire to the N (neutral) terminal.
iii)
The green/yellow wire to the (earth) terminal.
4.1.3 Secure the cable with the cable clamp.
The supply cable can be connect to the mains supply by the use of an unswitched shuttered socket-outlet in
conjunction with the 3A fused 3 pin plug both in accordance with BS 1363. This provides complete isolation.
Alternatively, a fused double pole switch having a contact separation of at least 3 mm, in all poles and provided
just for the boiler and its external controls can be used.
A wiring diagram is provided on the appliance, attached to the rear of the front panel. In addition, there is
one in this manual (fig. 20b).
Attention is drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. Regulation and in Scotland, the electrical provisions
of the Building regulations.
4.2
Room Thermostat (fig. 18) (or remote time clock connection)
4.2.1 Please note that the room thermostat, clock switch connection is 24 V.
To connect mains voltage to these terminals will seriously damage the printed circuit board.
The room thermostat and clock switch connector block is situated within the connector box. Twin core cable
should be used for this connection (terminals 4 and 5).
4.2.2 If using a remote 240 Volt time clock ensure that the motor and switch connections are totally separate in
the clock and that the switch connections are independent for the 24 Volt terminals (4 and 5) on the boiler.
