Combi Boiler Housing Question

[ShaunCorbs]

What regs do you think are being broken?

Electrical and some gas safe / bs ones

Saw that the other day

When I first saw it I thought it was photoshopped

They have them in Ireland, but size may be a problem;

Weather enclosure kit for system/combi boilers

Hi Shaun
The Electrical ip65 panel looks the part. Any ideas where I could get hold of one quick sharpish in London?

That's a tough one as normally built to order your best bet would be talk to your gas fitter (how much clearance he needs round the boiler ) this sets your size for your enclosure

Then go to a local sparky merchant (better if they do commercial stuff) and see if they have anything / can get you

Great, will do - thanks!

Hi there
We are getting a Valiant ecotec 831 fitted. It is replacing the last valiant ecotec we had previously. It was fitted on the outside of the external wall of our kitchen and housed in a box that the plumber built out of plywood (see attached photo). Does anyone know if there is a commercially available unit, preferably made from something more weather resistant, that we can buy to house the combo boiler?
Thanks!

This is a wind up right?

View attachment 30443 Shakes his head .. its better than this one though

Saw this the other day mate.
Well funny that one

No - why?

The person fitting the boiler outside will need to come up with a solution that meets;

Gas regs.
Electrical regs
Building regs.
Manufacturers instructions.

And doesn't invalidate the warranty.

I doubt the original enclosure would have met any of the above.

From the M.I's;

Observe the following when choosing the installation site
and operating the boiler,
– Do not install the boiler
in rooms prone to frost.
