The flue terminal should be mounted so that it is • Firebird accepts no responsibility for failure of plastic separated from any combustible material forming a part of piping and fittings for whatever reason.
Sound levels must also be a consideration. Whilst Firebird Enviromax boilers are one of the quietest boilers on the market, some end users are particularly sensitive and the following points should be considered: 1.
The condensate trap is located trap with water. at the base of the boiler. Condensate baffle and condensate trap Before switching on your Firebird condensing oil boiler check that: (1) The float & condensate drain baffle are in place. (2) That the condensate trap is primed.

METHOD 2 - CONDENSATE PUMP IMPORTANT Firebird condensing boilers when in condensing mode extract more heat from the flue products and the resulting condensate which is mildly acidic needs to be drained from the boiler via a condensate pipe to the drainage system.
6.4 INSTALLATION - SEALED SYSTEM HEATING CIRCUIT SEALED HEATING CIRCUIT The system must comply with BS 7074 Part 1 and BS 5449 Part 1 with a maximum water temperature of 80˚C. * A manual reset overheat limit thermostat is located at the rear of the electrical control panel.

450mm from painted eaves. Prevailing winds should be taken into account when siting a flue. FIREBIRD RECOMMENDS AS PER OFTEC RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT THE FLUE SHOULD BE A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 1 METRE FROM OPENINGS SO THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE A NUISANCE AND PERMITS THE DISPERSAL OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS (SEE PAGE 18).

6.5 INSTALLATION - FLUE REGULATIONS Clearances advised by BS 5410 Part 1: 2014 Regular Appliance (Open, Low Level Discharge and Balanced) Flue Termination Clearance The basic requirement with regard to flue positioning is that no hazard or nuisance is caused by the flue gases. Diagrams 20a and 20b show clearances advised by BS 5410 Part 1: 2014.

BALANCED FLUE BOILERS The Firebird boiler may be set for room-sealed flue operation using a Firebird condensing balanced flue kit. This kit does not draw combustion air from inside the room. It is drawn from outside, direct to the burner by an air pipe supplied with the boiler.

6.5 INSTALLATION - FLUE REGULATIONS Ventilation and Combustion Air Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.

6.6 INSTALLATION - VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS CONVENTIONAL FLUE SYSTEMS IMPORTANT The Firebird condensing boiler must not be installed with existing flue systems. A flue system suitable for wet flues must be used. If a flue system which is unsuitable is used it will invalidate the warranty.
