The boiler casing must always be correctly fitted to the boiler when leaving the appliance operational. External wall faces and any internal faces of cavity walls must be good. AIR SUPPLY The Keston Combi is a room-sealed appliance and therefore does not require purpose provided ventilation to the boiler room for combustion air. COMPARTMENT INSTALLATION Due to the low casing temperatures generated by the boiler, no compartment ventilation is required.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.5 INSTALLING THE BOILER Installation of the boiler is straightforward but consideration must be given to access to allow flue and air pipes to be pushed through walls and ceilings. The order in which the components are installed will depend upon particular site conditions, but in general it will be easiest and most accurate to install the boiler and then build up the flue outlet and air inlet pipes to the terminal - this is the sequence described.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION 2.8 FITTING THE WALL MOUNTING PLATE Screw the wall mounting plate to the wall using 2 wall plugs (previously fitted) with the 2 screws provided.
