124 Boiler installation sequenceInstructions for installation and servicing ecoMAX124 Boiler installation sequence4.1 GeneralFig. 4.1The boiler should be mounted on a flat and vertical areaof wall of sufficient area for the boiler plus the requiredclearances for installation and servicing (fig. 3.8). Theseare shown on the installation template supplied with theboiler and are:– 5 mm either side of the boiler– 145 mm below the boiler– 205 mm* above the boiler when utilising the 100 mmoutside diameter flue– 220 mm* above the boiler when utilising the 125 mmoutside diameter flue– 500 mm in front of the boiler**Note!If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framedbuilding, it should be fitted in accordance withBritish Gas publication DM2 ‘Guide for gasinstallations in timber framed housing’.4.1.1 Select position of boilerRefer to section ‘Boiler location’ for informationregarding siting the appliance. In general the boiler mustbe positioned such that:• There is adequate space around the boiler for serviceand maintenance• The boiler can be correctly flued, i.e. the flue terminalposition is sited in accordance with these instructionsand the air/flue duct can be installed in accordancewith the flue installation instructions supplied.• All necessary pipework can be connected, includingthe pressure relief valve and condensate drain.** This clearance is only required to enable easier access to the boiler forservicing and may be provided by an openable door, etc.4.1.2 Unpack the boilerTo unpack the boiler, cut both plastic carton straps, openbox and lift out the polystyrene top packing.
