How small a boiler can you find?!

[thepablo]

I am trying to buy a new boiler and it has to fit in a small space - the maximimum height is about 710mm.

I have seen that Ariston (Microgenius 28 - 700mm) and Ferroil (Domicompact F30b - 680mm) would both fit, but are they good makes?

The Worcester Junior is 710mm and might be a touch too big, but I know they are a good make.

-----

alternatively I can have the flux moved up by 20mm, but I believe that can be massively expensive?

 

[corgiman]

what clearances are need around those boilers

dont just go on the actual dimensions but rather the amount of space the manufacturer requires for maintenance etc.

 

[cowboyplumber]

Don't forget the cheeky little minxes dont quote the flue bend in the overall dimensions tht adds anothe 250mm.
The only boiler that rear flues is a Glowworm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[corgiman]

That tickled you didnt it cowboy

 

[Slugbabydotcom]

If you have a lot of radiators you may need an extra pressure vessel

 

[corgiman]

See The Pablo Nuffin is as simple as it seems is it

 

[thepablo]

I have taken account of the flue bend! my existing one is a Worcester 230.
and that is 950 long + the bend.

I saw the rear flue Glowworm - is it any good?

is it expensive to move the position of where the flue enters the building?

 

[cowboyplumber]

"I saw the rear flue Glowworm - is it any good? "
Is it any good?

Erm no, it's shyte like all the rest of the Glowworms.

 

[ChrisR]

They're making Glowworms and Saunier Duvals in the Vaillant factory, and have changed the splitting water section.
Worcs have aluminium heat exchangers which seem to dissolve and cause trouble if the they aren't cleaned out.
At least the others are stainless steel...
Come back in 5 - 10 years and we'll tell you what was a good choice

 

[bengasman]

there is no substitute for cubic inches

 

[gas4you]

Check out the Ravenheat low nox 120 or 150. Smallest on the market that I know of and a 3 year warranty.

Looked a good little boiler when we were up there.

Oh goody, now all they have to do is fix everything else that's wrong with the pieces of shyte, send a pr bird round to polish my wood, and give lifetime guarantee, that's until I die, and I MIGHT, just Might..
Nah forget it..
