To create additional space between the boiler and the wall for easier pipework access and routing.

Which boiler models is the spacing frame compatible with?

It is designed for use with Glow-Worm combi and system boilers. Check the product specifications for model compatibility.

Does the spacing frame come with all the necessary fixings?

It may come with some fixings, but it is best to check the contents of the kit and purchase additional fixings as needed based on the wall type.

Can I use this frame with any type of wall?

The wall must be structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the boiler and the frame. Use appropriate fixings for your wall type.

How does the spacing frame improve the aesthetics of the installation?

What should I do if the boiler isn't sitting flush on the frame?

Check that the frame is correctly mounted and that there are no obstructions preventing proper seating.

Is professional installation required?

It is recommended to have the installation carried out by a qualified heating engineer, especially if you are not experienced in boiler installation.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not sitting flush against the frame.

Check that the frame is correctly mounted to the wall and that no obstructions are preventing the boiler from seating properly.

Difficulty connecting pipework.

Ensure that the pipes are correctly sized and that there is sufficient space behind the boiler. Consider using flexible connectors if necessary.

Frame not aligning with existing pipework.
