Got to fit a baxi duotec where a balanced flue boiler is. Is there any fire proof covered ply I can mount boiler onto. The house is a dive I don't want to be in there longer than I have to waiting for cement and bricks to set
 
am i missing something? why you putting fire proof ply in most boiler/people use normal 20mm ply
 
If it was me I'd block and foam the old hole. Goes off really quick. Raise the boiler up a tad to get fixings. Core new hole. Bobs your uncle, fannys your aunt!

I normally do block up. But looking at job the top mounting holes will come right where the hole is and can't raise up as eaves. The house is disgusting dog crap in living room. Want out assp.

Go with ply and supalux. Even if baxi are ok with just ply if you're happier covering it then go for it. Shame you aren't down this way I've got sheets of both in the garage.
 
Not what I thought it was then.
 
Good man. I dread the weekly shout of "what's this"
 
Been there got the sordid single t-shirt

When I've had to hang a boiler on ply or timber for one reason or another I've always just used plasterboard over the timber or ply to fireproof it just get a half sheet
 
Thermalite blocks & rapid set cement! You'll be hanging the new boiler in 20 minutes!
 
I have done the ply / fireboard thing, at least that way you can get a fixing on the ply where the old void was
 
I tend to cut a thermolite block with a saw with a wedge shape at one end, hammer into position gently and skim with a plaster and cement mix (poor mans rapid set cement) ready to hang boiler in 5 mins
 
As far as I am aware due to the lower temperatures of condensing boilers, they do not need to be hung on a fire resistant wall.
