Moving a gas boiler

Posted by Barry , on
I have a Worcester 28i Junior gas boiler fitted below worktop and require it fitted higher up the wall immediately above the position it is now, but am limited by a redundant steel lintel inside the wall. What height would required between the bottom of the boiler and the work surface?

The manufacturers instruction state the minimum space required below the boiler is 200mm. You also need to take in to consideration how the flue is going to terminate, if this on a ground floor and the flue is less than 2m from the ground a terminal guard needs to be fitted or a plumage kit to remove the exhaust gases.
