practicable. Ensure stable balance achieved and lift
upwards to position in place on bracket. If 2 persons
positioning onto bracket obtain firm grip at front and
sides/base of boiler. Ensure co-ordinated movements
during 2 person lifts to ensure equal spread of weight of
load. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep back
straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor
level. Do not twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler
as close as possible to body throughout lift to minimise
strain on back. Avoid upper body/top heavy bending - do
not lean forward/sideways. Always use assistance if

Fig. 4.1 Distances during installation (dimensions in mm)
The boiler should be mounted on a flat and vertical area
of wall of sufficient area for the boiler plus the required
clearances for installation and servicing (Fig. 4.1). These
are shown on the installation template supplied with the
boiler and are:
– 5 mm either side of the boiler
– 180 mm below the boiler
– 165 mm* above the boiler when utilising the 100 mm
outside diameter flue
– 246 mm* above the boiler when utilising the 125 mm
outside diameter flue
– 500 mm in front of the boiler to enable easy access
for servicing (may be provided by an opening door)
