Fig. 4.1 Distances during installation (dimensions in mm)
Both for the installation/assembly of the appliance and
also for carrying out maintenance tasks later, you need
the minimum distances and minimum assembly clear-
ances given below:
– side distance: 5 mm on each side
– lower side 180 mm
– upper side*: 167 mm for flue system
Ø 60/100
246 mm for flue system
Ø 80/125 mm
– front side**: 500 mm
This distance is needed for easier
access during maintenance tasks.
It is not necessary to keep a clearance between the
appliance and combustible substances or components,
as at the rated heating power of the appliance, the tem-
perature here is always lower than the permitted tem-
perature of 85 °C.
Note
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed
building, it should be fitted in accordance with
British Gas publication DM2 ‘Guide for gas
installations in timber framed housing’.
