How do I know if I have a room sealed or open flue combi boiler?

Hi

I have a combi boiler in my kitchen. I want to ask my landlord to put mouse mesh over exterior air bricks which are placed low on the kitchen wall. (due to mice getting in).

I've read that you are not supposed to do that if a gas applaince in the room needs ventilation.

I don't have a gas cooker but have a combi-boiler in the kitchen. I have heard that these can either be room sealed (in which case air bricks not needed) or open flue (air bricks required).

Is there an easy way for me to tell which my combi boiler is ?

Thanks.

What is the make and model of your boiler?

It's a worcester 24i. But when I google for that newer versions seem to come up so I don't know if they would be the same.

A worcester 24i RSF - I've just found the manual. I'll have look through there but I'm far from clued up about this sort of thing so I may still not know!

Page 7 of the online manual says its room sealed and doesn't need other ventilation.

Flicking through the book I think it looks like it wouldn't need air bricks but it is like it's in a foreign language for me

Many thanks weston dave.

Just out of interest, are there (or have there ever been) any non room sealed combis available?

I didn’t think so

Yes still a few around sadly.

To the OP RSF = room sealed flue

ormus

as above. the letters RS give the game away.

ps
ive never seen a non RS combi.
(i dont think so anyways).
