siting a boiler

GT60

Hi we have an condensing boiler and want to put it in a cupboard in the new kitchen but;

The boiler is 440mm wide, is it ok to site it in a 500mm cupboard or would it have to be a 600mm cupboard?
There is NO service points on the sides.
Thanks Niall

Look at the install instructions, it will say how much clearance is required on each side. The purpose of this is to give adequate ventilation, not clearance for pipework.

not ventilation but its for heat transfer clearance. modern combi boilers are usually room sealed.
each boiler will have a spec sheet and will tell you the dims required for clearance.
typically 25/50mm at the sides and 200mm top/bottom.

Good evening: your RGI would be best placed to advise as he/she has the opportunity assess the site and specific boiler requirements.
