4.2 - POSITIONING THE 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 3 ft must be available at the front of the boiler.
The boiler must be installed on a level NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler and its water contents.
Sound levels must also be a consideration.Whilst Firebird boilers are amongst the quietest boilers on
the market, some homeowners 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. Side wall balanced flue terminals can produce exhaust noise on the outside terminal
and this should be considered when siting near adjacent property.
4. The Firebird Balanced Flue Kit has been specifically designed for
Firebird’s indoor boilers. The use of third party side wall vent kits
is not recommended and will affect its warranty.
5. The placement of the boiler should take into account
the collection and disposal of condensate
products.
6. Space around the unit must remain free
of clutter and debris so that clearances
are maintained.
• 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.
