moving boiler beneath worktop

[chrisz]

I currently have a Alpha boilers PB24. It is sat on top of the work top at the moment and I'd like to have it moved into the cupboard beneath.

What are the regulations regarding this? I've heard that it needs to be a certain distance off the floor, is this a corgi issue or a technical issue.

I the boiler can't be moved for whatever reason, can anyone recommend a cheap boiler that can be put in a standard size kitchen unit.

thanks
chris

No and no. See mfrs instructions, it won't fit, and currently nobody does a combi which officially can fit in the space, apart from maybe an ideal isar. A Gloworm flexiflue shouldn't be put there; though it will go in the clearances aren't enough.

hmm, that's a bit of a nightmare, thought it was quite common now.
