6.0 SYSTEM DETAILS  
6.1  
Information  
1. The Potterton Performa 24 Eco HE Condensing  
Combination Boiler is a ‘Water Byelaws Scheme -  
Approved Product’. To comply with the Water  
Byelaws your attention is drawn to the following  
installation requirements and notes (IRN).  
a) IRN 001 - See text of entry for installation  
requirements and notes.  
b) IRN 302 - Byelaw 14.  
2. Reference to the WRc publications, ‘Water fittings and  
materials directory’ and ‘Water supply byelaws guide’  
give full details of byelaws and the IRNs.  
6.2  
Central Heating Circuit  
1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED  
SYSTEMS ONLY.  
Treatment of Water Circulating Systems  
• All recirculatory water systems will be subject to  
corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is  
applied. This means that the efficiency of the system will  
deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within the  
system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler noise  
and circulation problems.  
• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within the  
system, which can lead to damage of system  
components.  
• All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed  
out. Using for example Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 or  
X400 or Fernox Superfloc Universal Cleanser which  
should be used following the flushing agent  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing  
agents/descalers should be suitable for aluminium and  
comply to BS7593 requirements, e.g. Betz-Dearborn  
Sentinel X100 and Fernox-Copal which should be used  
following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions.  
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will  
invalidate the appliance warranty.  
• It is important to check the inhibitor concentration  
after installation, system modification and at every  
service in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor  
stockists.)  
• For information or advice regarding any of the above  
contact the Potterton Helpline.  
6.3  
Bypass  
1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic integral  
bypass.  
6.4  
System Control  
1. The boiler is designed for use in a heating system  
that incorporates external controls, i.e. a minimum of  
a timer device.  
2. An integral electro-mechanical or electronic timer is  
available as an optional extra.  
3. For optimum operating conditions and maximum  
economy the fitting of a programmable thermostat is  
recommended.

Fig. 8  
for GB: Guidance G24.2 and recommendation R24.2  
of the Water Regulations Guide.  
for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas  
Installations”.  
5. The sealed primary circuits may be filled or  
replenished by means of a temporary connection  
between the circuit and a supply pipe, provided a  
‘Listed’ double check valve or some other no less  
effective backflow prevention device is permanently  
connected at the inlet to the circuit and the  
temporary connection is removed after use.  
6.6  
Expansion Vessel  
(Central Heating only)  
1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged to  
0.5 bar. Therefore, the minimum cold fill pressure is  
0.5 bar. The vessel is suitable for correct operation  
for system capacities up to 125 litres. For greater  
system capacities an additional expansion vessel  
must be fitted. For GB refer to BS 7074 Pt 1. For IE,  
the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas  
Installations”.  
Pressure Relief Valve  
6.7  
Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 9)  
1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar, therefore  
all pipework, fittings, etc. should be suitable for  
pressures in excess of 3 bar.  
Fig. 9  
2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be not  
less than 15mm dia, run continuously downward,  
and discharge outside the building, preferably over a  
drain. It should be routed in such a manner that no  
hazard occurs or causes damage to wiring or  
electrical components. The end of the pipe should  
terminate facing down and towards the wall.  
Discharge Pipe  
3. The discharge must not be above a window,  
entrance or other public access. Consideration must  
be given to the possibility that boiling water/steam  
could discharge from the pipe.

Installations”.  
Check  
Valve  
3. A single check valve must be fitted as shown in  
Fig. 10 to prevent backflow to the supply pipe and to  
ensure the efficient operation of the expansion vessel  
which is required to accommodate the thermal  
expansion of the water.

4. When the domestic water system includes any  
device which prevents water expanding back  
towards the supply (check valve, loose jumpered  
stopcock, water meter, water treatment device) then  
Fig. 10  
an expansion vessel must be fitted (eg. Zilmet 160ml,  
1
2
R / 15bar).  
5. If the hot water expansion is not provided for, then  
high pressures can develop which may result in  
damage to fittings and devices on the system.  
6. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8  
bar, therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc.  
should be suitable for pressures in excess of 8 bar. A  
pressure reducing valve must be fitted for pressures  
in excess of 8 bar. The manufacturer of any outlet  
fittings, such as a shower valve, may require a lower  
maximum pressure. The pressure reduction must  
take account of all fittings connected to the DHW  
system.  
6.9  
Showers  
1. If a shower control is supplied from the appliance  
it should be of the thermostatic or pressure balanced  
type. Thermostatic type shower valves provide the  
best comfort and guard against water at too high a  
temperature. Existing controls may not be suitable -  
refer to the shower valve manufacturer.  
6.10  
Hard Water Areas  
1. If the area of the installation is recognised as a  
HARD WATER AREA then a suitable device should  
be fitted to treat the mains water supply to the boiler.  
Contact your Water Distribution Company for advice  
on suitable devices.

5. The pipe should be a minimum of 21.5mm diameter  
and must be supported using suitably spaced clips to  
prevent sagging.  
6. Any pipe fitted externally must not exceed 3 metres.  
7. Any condensate discharge pipework external to the  
building (or in an unheated part of it e.g. garage) must  
be insulated to protect against frost. It is also  
recommended that the pipe diameter is increased to  
32mm.

8. If the boiler is fitted in an unheated location the entire  
condensate discharge pipe should be treated as an  
external run.  
9. In all cases discharge pipe must be installed to aid  
disposal of the condensate. To reduce the risk of  
condensate being trapped, as few bends and fittings as  
possible should be used.  
10. When discharging condensate into a soil stack or  
waste pipe the effects of existing plumbing must be  
considered. If soil pipes or waste pipes are subjected to  
internal pressure fluctuations when WC's are flushed or  
sinks emptied then back-pressure may force water out of  
the boiler trap and cause appliance lockout.
