which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos, mercury or
CFCs are included in any part of the boiler.

adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary - unless required
by the local authority. The boiler must not be fitted outside.
Timber Framed Buildings

fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.
