BOILER LOCATION & CLEARANCES

This boiler is only suitable for installing internally
within a property at a suitable location onto a
fixed rigid non-combustible surface at the same
size as the boiler and capable of supporting the
boiler weight.
The boiler must be installed on a flat level surface
to ensure condensate does not enter the primary
heat exchanger.
The boiler is not suitable for external installation
unless a suitable enclosure is provided.
Roof space installations must fully conform to
BS5410 part 1 section 4.6.9
Open flue model (CF):
In order to ensure clean and efficient combustion
an adequate supply of air must be delivered to
the combustion chamber.
To provide sufficient air a suitable inlet must be
provided into the room or space in which the
boiler is situated, minimum size 110cm² for
18/25kW appliances.
An air brick or other form of continuous air supply
may have to be built into the installation in order
to ensure an adequate supply of air.
If the appliance is to be installed in a confined
space or compartment two air vents are required,
one at high level and one at low level.
The minimum free area of each vent is shown
opposite and depends whether the air is taken
from another room or from outside the building.
Where the air is taken from another room that
room must contain an air inlet as described
above.
Room sealed balanced flue model (RS):
The appliance does not require a separate vent for
combustion air.
Installation in cupboards or compartments require
permanent vents for cooling purposes, one at
high level and one at low level, either direct to
outside air or to a room.
Both vents must pass to the same room or be
on the same wall to the outside air.
The minimum air vent free area is given in the table
opposite.

The boiler is suitable for installing under a worktop
providing that the front of the boiler is not enclosed
and the worktop above the boiler (min. 10mm
clearance) is easily removable to access the lock
out reset and allow boiler maintenance.
* Remove the flue 'knock-out' panel sections if this
clearance is less than 75mm.
