4.2 - POSITIONING THE BOILER - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES
Ensure that adequate clearance is available for making the water and flue connections.
The boiler is serviced from the front and 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 Firebird Enviromax boilers 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 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 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 the warranty.
5. The siting of the boiler should take into account
the disposal of condensate products.
• It is recommended that a suitable
corrosion inhibitor is added to the
heating system.
• New and existing systems should be
treated with chemical cleaner and
properly flushed before the boiler is
fitted and corrosion inhibitor added.
• In areas of hard water, a suitable
descaler would also be required.
