The minimum fireplace opening size is 558mm height (22") x 406mm width (16") If installing with minimum fireplace dimensions provision will need to be made for access to the gas service cock and inlet test point. The surround will need to be removed to allow access for installation of the BBU.

The boiler will require a 3 amp permanent live as well as a switched live feed from the same source to operate satisfactorily.

The fire will require a separate13 amp supply.

150mm clearance is required from the BBU flue terminal to an adjacent terminal.

There are 2 concentric flue system kits available, 10 metre and 12.5 metre. These lengths may be cut shorter but cannot be extended beyond their specified length.

The boiler incorporates a sump pump for the removal of condensate. The pump can lift condensate vertically 2.5 metres (as measured from the case outlet of the boiler.) Any horizontal run should be kept as short as practicable with a miniumum of 3 degrees on all gravity falls.
