Combustion figures

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoAt the reference test point (sealing screw marked in on the gas valve), measured at full load in test program P.1. The MI also asks for the gas pipework to be sized so 20 mbar is available at the boiler inlet at full flow rate (MI 4.9), the technical data gives the inlet gas working pressure required as 20 mbar with no measurement point (MI 2.1), and the fault finding checks say 20 mbar should be available at the gas valve (MI 8.1).
Gas valve test point
16–23 mbar
Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoNominal rate with the +5% and −10% tolerance limits (Table 5.1). Measured at the gas meter after at least 5 minutes in test program P.1, with all other gas appliances off. The technical data gives a rounded connected load at 15 °C and 1013 mbar: 24: 2.5, 28: 3.0 m³/h (MI 2.1).
24
2.49 m³/h (+5%: 2.61, −10%: 2.24)
28
3.03 m³/h (+5%: 3.18, −10%: 2.72)
Flue integrity
More infoHide infoChecked with the flue gas analyser at the air measure point; strongly recommended where the flue is longer than 2 m. If any CO or CO₂ is found, find and correct the flue gas leak or recirculation; if it can’t be corrected, don’t start the boiler (MI 5.9.1).
No CO or CO₂ in the fresh air

Check these figures against the MI for the appliance in front of you, matched by GC number and manual date. Combustion work needs a calibrated analyser and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
