Do I need special tools to install this kit?

Can I use this kit if I don't have the Glow-worm Installation frame?

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information for accessories like installation kits is typically covered under the boiler's warranty or the installer's terms. Please refer to the documentation provided with your boiler or contact Glow-worm customer support for specifics.

Troubleshooting

Pipe connections leaking

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. If leaks persist, check for any debris at the connection points or potential damage to the pipework. Consult the boiler's installation manual or a qualified engineer.

Pipework does not fit correctly with the frame

Verify that you are using the correct Glow-worm Compact Installation frame and that the boiler model is compatible with this specific pipe kit. Ensure the frame is mounted straight and level.

Boiler not firing up after installation
