This boiler is tested and certificated for safety and performance. It is therefore important that no alteration is made to the boiler, without
permission, in writing, from Hepworth Heating Ltd.
Any alteration not approved by Hepworth Heating Ltd., could invalidate the certification, boiler warranty and may also infringe the
current issue of the Statutory Requirements, see Section 1.3.
CE Mark
This boiler meets the requirements of Statutory Instrument No. 3083 The boiler (Efficiency) Regulations, and therefore is deemed
to meet the requirements of Directive 92/42/EEC on the efficiency requirements for new hot water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous
fuels.
Type test for purposes of Regulation 5 certified by: Notified body 0086.
Product/productioncertifiedby: Notified body 0086.
The CE mark on this appliance shows compliance with:
1. Directive 90/396/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels.
2. Directive 73/23/EEC on the harmonization of the Laws of the Member States relating to the electrical equipment designed
for use within certain voltage limits.

These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to
irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken. Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal
good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory. If you do suffer irritation of the eyes or severe
irritation to the skin seek medical attention.
THERMOSTATS
These contain very small amounts of xylene in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal circumstances the fluid does
not cause a problem, but in case of skin contact, wash with cold water. If swallowed drink plenty of water and seek medical attention.

When the front tappings are used, it is essential that any
pipework of fittings do not project more than shown in diagram POSITIONS
4.5.
When using a rear tapping with Rc (1in BSP) fitting for 28mm od
pipework, it is recommended that a short nipple and an R thread
(BSP) to copper elbow is used. If the pipework is required to
run back to the wall, make sure that it will clear the boiler air duct
and, if working to minimum clearance, does not stick out too far
from the boiler, see diagram 4.6.
Do not route any pipework, water or gas, across the front of the
