introduction
The mexico hE is a floor standing, room sealed,
condensing boiler featuring full sequence automatic spark
ignition and fan assisted combustion.
Due to the very high efficiency of the boiler condensate
is produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a
suitable disposal point through the plastic waste pipe at the
right lower rear of the boiler. A condensate 'plume' will also
often be visible at the flue terminal.
Safety
Current gas safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations or rules in force.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law
