3-C: Positioning Boiler
Ensure that adequate clearance is available for making
the water and flue connections.
As the boiler is serviced from the front,
no headroom clearance is necessary but a clearance of 750mm must be
available at the front of the boiler.
No special hearth is required as the boiler is fully insulated, but the floor
must be level and capable of supporting the weight of the boiler and its
water content.
Sound levels must also be a consideration. Whilst the Firebird Combi Range
are one of the quietest boilers on the market, some householders are
particularly sensitive and the following points should be considered:
1 . Tiled surfaces in a small room will amplify noise - particularly if the wall
construction is hollow.
2 . If a conventional flue passes through a bedroom it is capable of
transmitting noise.
3 . Low level balanced flue terminals can produce exhaust noise on the
outside terminal and this should be considered when siting near adjacent
property.
4. The Firebird low level concentric flue kit has been specifically designed
for Firebird’s indoor boilers. The use of third party low level flue kits
is not recommended and may affect its warranty.
