• Before start-up, the system should be checked by running it under a pressure of not less than 1.8 atmospheres.

Important! If the heating pipes are hidden in the walls or floor, you need to start the system under high pressure for at least a day. Thus, you are guaranteed to check how reliable all connections are.

• Before starting the system, you need to release air from it. In this case, it is necessary to release air using the Mayevsky cranes on the radiators. Release the air carefully until it is completely gone. Only after that start the system.
• Modern boiler models have automated control, and automation is extremely sensitive to the voltage value. For this reason, it is necessary to install a voltage regulator( installation of an uninterruptible power supply is possible).
• To protect against impurities, the inside of the boiler, at the inputs of cold water and gas, you need to put filters.
• The distance from the boiler to the nearest outlet should be from 300 mm.

In addition to the above rules, there are requirements for the room where the boiler will be installed:

• The best place to install gas appliances is the kitchen. Its layout should be such that it conforms to the installation standards for such equipment.
• With a ceiling height of at least 2.5 m, the required floor space is from 4 m2.

• If the boiler is floor type, then install it on a base of non-flammable material. It is a layer of heat insulator on top of which is laid a metal sheet larger than the dimensions of the boiler by not less than 300 mm

There are certain requiredI to the chimney to install a gas boiler in the apartment instead of the central heating:

• If the boiler capacity is up to 30 kW, the chimney diameter in the cross-section must be at least 140 mm
• At a power of 40 kW the chimney size is 160 mm
