fits a combi boiler on micro bore central heating system?

[vern]

Hi,

I would like to know can i fit a Combi Boiler (Potterton Gas performa 24)

to my micro bore central heating system 10mm?

If so, any special fittings requirement for that?

Many thanks in advance.

no different to any system but make sure you flush it well before having the boiler fitted

really? that good

So i can just change the boiler and just connect it back to the existing central heating?

Yep, but you need to be aware of Part L regs regarding boiler replacement.

The pipe from the boiler needs to be say 22mm, presumably it is already. That would go to a "Manifold" - a point where several thin pipes are taken off the 22. It is important you don't join into a 10mm pipe and expect the boiler to get the heat out!

Gas line needs to be appropriate size

you cant just swap boiler if existing system is a vented system.you need to convert the existing system to suit combi.
