Can I do this ?

[John M]

Yeah I know theres no flue shown

A lil spacer to allow for piping etc to be routed behind the boiler (In Red)

Anyways I was thinking Wood ........ Or do I have to go Steel Box section or similar ?

Many Thanks

The boiler manufacturer's installation instructions should tell you what restrictions exist regarding the type of material on which the boiler can be mounted. If they don't, then ring the manufacturer.

A boiler should always be mounted on a non combustible surface. A sheet of plasterboard on any wood will do.

Most boiler manufacturers supply a ready made spacing frame kit for just this purpose.

Some of 'em (like Buderus) supply them free with the boiler.
