Keston Heat - Frame & Header Kits

1	Introduction
This technical data contains information for dimensioning & assembly of a cascade system kit for the Keston Heat range of
products.
Header and Frame kits are available in line (from 2 to 6 boilers long).

General Description of Frame & Header kits
A requirement to spread the total required heat output over several boilers can be accommodated by the use of the Keston Heat
multiple boiler frame & header kit options.
An optional sequencer kit can be specified to switch boilers in cascade on or off dependent on total heat demand.

2	 General Description of Cascade Systems
2.1	 Frame and header Kit Design Options
The Keston Heat boilers are suitable for use in a multiple boiler configuration. The multiple boiler system is available as a wall
or frame mounted side by side configuration with the use of the relevant frame / header kits. This gives opportunity to choose
the optimum footprint size or wall space for a given output. The table below states options available and gives the minimum
number of appliances required, the appropriate floor space & the kit product number (N.B. The kits do not include the boilers).
Side by side kits do not include the support frame as the boilers can be wall mounted but a frame kit is available if wall space
etc. does not facilitate boiler/header wall mounting.
Flue configuration for the appliance is C53 and C13 only (see appliance manual).

Keston Heat - Frame & Header Kits

2.2	 Multiple boiler Installations
For installing 2 to 6 boilers, the product range includes water and gas headers capable of assembly using threaded socket,compression
and flange connections.

2.3	 Hydraulic isolation: Mixing header (Header Kits include a low loss mixing header)
A low loss header allows flow separation within a hydronic system.
This essentially creates linked stand alone flow circuits with their own flow rates and pressure drops. Allowing for the modern high
resistant high efficiency boilers to operate under their optimum conditions, while the main heating circuit operates to its own controlled
optimum requirements.

2.4	Output control
An optional sequencer kit is available to maximise the efficiency of a multiple boiler installation. Instructions for installation and use are
contained in the sequencer kit. The sequencer kit facilitates control of up to five boilers in cascade.

2.5	 Gas Supply
The 45-55kW boilers are suitable for use with natural gas. Connect the boilers to the gas mains in accordance with the applicable
regulations The gas header connection is a 2” female thread with test points at each end. It is the test point nearest the inlet of the
group of appliances that becomes the appliance inlet pressure point. Refer to the boiler Installation & Servicing Instructions for general
GAS SUPPLY details.

2.6	Assembly
The frames and headers must stand on a flat and level floor of suitable load bearing capacity.

2.7	Safe Handling
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during movement into its
installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques when performing these tasks and the following precautions should be considered:
•	 Grip the boiler at the base.
• 	 Be physically capable.
• 	 Use personal protective equipment as appropriate, e.g. gloves, safety footwear.
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable and/or the
weight is light.
• Keep back straight.
• Avoid twisting at the waist.
• Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.
• Always grip with the palm of the hand.
• Use designated hand holds.
• Keep load as close to the body as possible.
• Always use assistance if required.

3	 Multiple boiler system components
3.1	General
The multiple boiler systems consist of the following components:
•	
Frame kit. (Optional only with In-line kits)
•	
Boiler gas header.
•	
Boiler flow and return headers supported on mounting skid
•	
Low loss mixing header
•	
Hardware packs (includes essential connection and valve components)

3.2	 Main Water headers
The main water headers consist of: insulated water flow, insulated water return headers custom sized for all boilers. It is possible to
extend the system to a maximum of 6 boilers in a linear configuration.Each header kit provides water flow and return headers sized
either DN80 or DN100 dependent on total maximum combined heating output required.

3.3	 Gas header
The Gas header consists of a custom manufactured 2” manifold. This is located in a cradle incorporated within the header mounting skid.

3.4	 Mixing header
The mixing headers are insulated and are supplied with an auto air vent and drain point as standard.

Items 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 are supplied with the boiler. (AL-208973
Isolation Valve Kit)
Items 7, 8 & 9 are supplied with the Header Kit
Items 10 & 11 are pre-assembled to the water header.
Assemble fittings together as shown using appropriate sealing
material. Do not fit the safety relief valve (item 3) at this stage.
When assemblies are complete fit to boiler flow and return stubs
with suitable sealing material. The safety valve (item 3) can now
be fitted using suitable sealing material.
Ensure all isolation valves, pressure relief valves and drain valves
are fitted to allow unrestricted operation.

3.6	 Free-standing frames
If boilers in cascade are positioned in-line the installer has the option to either wall mount the boilers or mount boilers on optional frame
kits available. If mounting in-line product on frames, optional frame kit UIN 355013 must be specified in the correct quantity, one frame
kit for each boiler installed in cascade.

3.7	 Installation area and Dimensions
Care must be taken to ensure adequate access for boiler / cascade system installation and servicing.
A minimum of 450mm must be provided from the front of the installed boilers in cascade to facilitate boiler servicing.
Consideration to connecting heating flow and return pipework, gas supply and condensate drainage must be given. Routing of the
condensate drain must be made to allow a minimum fall of 1 in 20 away from the installed boilers in cascade, throughout its length.
Adequate room above the boilers must be provided to install and service the boiler flue system. Further information with respect to flue
and condensate drain connection is provided in the installation and servicing instructions provided within the boilers packaging carton.

IMPORTANT POiNTS
Before commencing installation:

If Wall mounting;
•	 Ensure wall is capable of supporting the weight of boilers to be mounted
•	 Mark drill points of header using floor mounting template
•	 Mark height on to the wall from the floor to the top of the boiler
•	 Ensure floor is flat and level and is of suitable load bearing capacity
If Frame mounting;
•	 The frames must stand on a flat and level floor of suitable load bearing
capacity.
•	 If using a frame kit (UIN 355013) the header must be bolted to the frame before
the hoses are connected to the boiler.

These Installations refer to perpendicular wall and floor. If walls are not
perpendicular, it is recommended that a frame kit be used (UIN 355013). The
correct number of frames should be ordered (1 per boiler).
Allowances must be made for installation where skirting boards or other features
are in place that may affect the nominal installation conditions.
