Condensate Drainage
OPTION: Condensate soak away kit including lime stone chippings (Pt.no. RP024)
RECOMMENDATION: Seal condensate pipe work with Rectorseal Tru-blu, a non-setting sealant that doesn’t dry out like glue and remains easy to dismantle, it’s also suitable for oil line connections. (Pt.no. CON-TRU-BLUE)
Electrical
OPTION: A control panel with an integral front thermostat for garage installations. Pt.no. EL20008
Fuel Supply
IMPORTANT: Hounsfield Boilers utilise a single pipe suction lift fuel supply system; it’s essential to keep the number of
joints between the oil tank and the burner to a minimum, use pipe benders rather than fittings
Note: One of the advantages of the ELCO burner and pump configuration we use is that, unlike a Riello burner where sometimes a deaerator like the Tigerloop is essential they are with a Hounsfield Boiler; they will of course “mask” faults with the fuel supply system, acting as a “plaster”, better to resolve the problem; deaerator’s have their own inherent problems.
Oil filter kit, includes fire valve, isolation valve oil line inserts and stainless screws, included with every boiler.
OPTION: Optional oil line entry point to the rear of the casing provides neat “out of sight” installation.
Flue Options
Our balanced flue twin wall system is common to all boiler models, making selection of components easy whether you’re installing a Kitchen, External or a wall mounted boiler, “one system fits all”.
For open vented, onventional chimney systems we have a range of single wall rigid flue components combined with corrugated flexible chimney liner.

Regulations
IMPORTANT: Boiler installation must comply with Building Regulations, associated E.N./ British Standards and industry good practice. Installation of a magnetic system filter forms part of this compliance.
