may be used as replacement parts.
These instructions explain the instal-
lation and assembly of the boiler and
expansion tank. Read these instructions
carefully before installation of the boiler.
These instructions are approved for The
Alde Compact 3010 boiler fitted in recrea-

Installation and repairs may only be carried
out by a professional. This boiler must be
installed in accordance with local codes if
any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or
CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Pro-

INSTALLATION OF BOILER
The boiler can appropriately be located in
a wardrobe or storage space, but can also
be located under the floor of the vehicle.
If located outside the vehicle, the boiler
should be built into an enclosed space so
that it is protected against splashing of
water, exhaust gases, etc. In choosing the
location, consideration should also be given
to dismantling the service hatch (A 1) and
that space will be available for replacement
of components during service. The data
plate on the boiler must be legible after
installation.
The measurements given in Fig. A are the
recommended minimum measurements for
mounting of the boiler.
The space where the boiler is to be assem-
bled must be ventilated, with a ventilation
area of at least 10.85 Sq In/70 cm2.
6
The boiler shall be screwed down onto the
floor through the holes in the fixing brackets
(A 2).

MOUNTING OF WALL FLUE
The boiler may only be mounted with the
original flue. The flue must not be blocked.
The wall flue should be mounted on as
flat a surface as possible, and also so that
air can freely circulate past the flue. The
flue should not be mounted closer than
12in/300mm sideways on from an opening
window or ventilation inlet.
A flue must not be mounted under a
window that can be opened, or a ventilation
inlet, see drawing.
If the flue is mounted closer than the meas-
urements given above, a window circuit-
breaker shall be installed that shuts off the
LPG gas supply when the window is open.
Prohibited zone
To guarantee the function of the boiler, no
object should be fitted within a radius of
2.2gal/8,4L
12in/300 mm around the chimney (no offi-
cial claim).
NOTE: that current national regulations
must be followed.
The distance from the flue to ventilation
inlet under the vehicle must be at least
12in/300mm (not a legal requirement).
The distance from flue to refilling posi-
tion or ventilation for fuel shall be at least
20in/500mm.
Mark the place where the flue is to be
located. Then drill a Ø 3.25in/83mm hole
through the outer wall. First mount the
gasket (B 7) and then screw down the flue
(B 8) with the 6 plate screws (B 9). If the
surface is structured, of ball-hammered
plate type, sealing compound for auto-
mobile application must be used with the
gasket.
Note that the flue shall be mounted with the
bend upwards, (the roof flue is also marked
TOP/OBEN). Mount the plastic cap (B 10a)
and the O ring (B 10b) with the accompany-
ing two screws (B 11).
MOUNTING OF INLET/
EXHAUST HOSE
Hose length with wall flue: min. 1.5ft/0.5
and max. 6.5ft/2.0 m.
Measure and cut the required length of inlet
hose (Ø 3 in/75 mm). The exhaust hose (Ø
2 in/50 mm) should be cut off so it becomes
approximately 2 in/50 mm longer than the
suction hose.
Applies to hose lengths over 3 ft/1 m.
Note that the hoses will go on to the hose
sleeves .75 in/20 mm.
Push the exhaust hose into the inlet hose.
First mount the exhaust hose (B12a)
Add a 1/8in/3 mm string of High Tempera-
ture (min 500°F) Silicon paste (B12b) on
the inside of the 2in/50 mm hose. (For
example Dow Corning q3-1566). Put the
exhaust hose over the wall flue connec-
tion (B8). Tighten the 40-60 hose clamp
(B13). Put the air inlet tube (B14) on the
wall flue connection. Tighten the 60-80
hose clamp (B15). Make the same pro-
ceedure when connecting the hoses to
the heater. Staple the hose (B16) on c/c
2ft/600mm or equivalent.
ATTENTION! Check the hose run to
ensure that water cannot be retained in
the inlet/exhaust hose.
MOUNTING OF EXPANSION
TANK
Mount the expansion tank at least
7.5 in / 200 mm higher than the highest
Window
point of the heating system or boiler. If the
expansion tank is mounted in a wardrobe
for example, Alde's protective housing
should be mounted around the expansion
tank. This will stop accidental splashes
coming in contact with clothing. Leave a
space of at least 8in / 220mm above the
expansion tank for topping up and service.
Fit the expansion vessel using the screws
and support rings (D 16) supplied. If a
circulating pump is fitted in the expansion
vessel it is a sucking pump and incoming
hoses shall therefore always be connec-
ted to the pipe underneath the pump and
outgoing hoses to the pipe alongside (see
fig. D).
The air vent hose (D 17) must be assem-
bled vertically upwards and clamped down
so that creases cannot form in the hose.
The drainage hose (D 18) must be
mounted so that it goes the shortest route
from the expansion tank out through the
floor of the vehicle. Cut the hose obliquely
at a 30º angle from the direction of travel
under the vehicle.
After the heating system has been filled,
the tank shall be sealed with the cap.
CONNECTION TO THE
HEATING SYSTEM
The LPG boiler's connection pipe to the
heating system is located on the side of
the boiler. Red marking for outgoing flow
pipe (F 21) and blue for incoming return
pipe (F 22).
Use the assembly set with automatic
bleeder and automatic circulation stop for
mounting on the boiler. Connect the out-
going pipe with the rubber T pipe (F 23).
The draining hose (F 28) from the bleeder
shall go out through the floor of the vehi-
cle. The hose shall be cut obliquely at a
30° angle from the direction of travel.
