5 Mounting the boiler
Install the boiler in a well-ventilated boiler room in accordance to the actual
local regulations BS5440-2:2000.
The room where the boiler will be placed must always be frost free.
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent in the room or internal space in

in which the boiler is installed, due to the extremely low surface temperature of the
boiler casing during operation. Therefore the requirements of BS 6798, Clause 12, and
BS5440:2 may be disregarded.
The boiler can be mounted practically to any wall with the suspension bracket and the
enclosed xing equipment. The wall must be at and of sufcient strength in order to be
able to carry the boiler weight with its water content.
Above the boiler there must be at least 250 mm working space in order to be able to t a
coaxial ue system or a twin supply. On the left side of the boiler at least 50 mm and on
the right side 10 mm must be reserved to allow tting or removing of casing. The location
of the boiler can be determined by using the template located inside the boiler packaging.
Lift the boiler only by the boilers rear wall.
