5 Mounting the boiler
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 which the boiler is installed. Neither is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard
or compartment 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.

- Lift only a manageable weight, or ask for help.
