Combi boiler Size

[th3pony]

Hi I'm doing up my house and I'm looking for a combi boiler, the space i want it to go in will only allow for a boiler 630mm in height if this is possible. Also I would like to know, do I need to leave 200mm clearance top and bottom. Thank you.

find one online or at merchants and follow mfis when your installer fits it re clearances. do not try to fit in to smaller place as your installer/service engineer needs to be able to access pipework etc

i have been looking but i'm struggling to find one at 630mm or smaller

 

[lame plumber]

that is small, prehaps reposition into attic if pos

 

[th3pony]

yes that could be a possibility. Is it essential to leave 200mm at the bottom of the boiler, the kitchen worktop will be above it ?

 

[lame plumber]

your aiming to put a wall mounted boiler under the worktop! have a thought for anyone trying to work on it later, fraid I wouldnt its bad enough when I have to stand

 

[th3pony]

No sorry the worktop is below the boiler think that came out wrong, what i meant to ask, do i need a 200mm gap between the bottom of the boiler and the worktop

 

[lame plumber]

its what the manufacturer says and common sense as well, remember someone has to work on the boiler annually, if youve no space then its hard and you bill will increase due to time taken etc

ok thanks, i have found one to fit on ebay its a lambourghini condensing combi, you know much about these ?

 

[lame plumber]

its italian, like the cars and they break down all the time so Id expect the same.

It is a rebadged ferroli i think and is possibly one of the worst boilers ever made.....

Look at ideal logic or if really desperate a 28i junior

one of the smallest is the Vokera vision with direct rear flue option but think this is 700mm and yes you do need to leave the required distance stated by the manafactuers

What about the Ideal Imini? I'v fitted these in a kitchen cupboard before & they are a very good boiler

have just discovered rear flue boilers online which now gives me a bit of extra space as i will not lose space at the top for the flue.
