More infoHide infoThe MI gives O₂ only for the flue integrity check at the air inlet test point (see Flue integrity).

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoFigures from Fig. 41a, with the boiler at maximum rate. At the gas meter: 19–23 mbar. The text in 7.5.1 and the fault finding chart (G) instead say the pressure at the gas cock test point must be at least 17 mbar, and 11.2 gives a preferred minimum of 20 mbar (NG). Technical data gives a dynamic (nominal) inlet pressure of 20 mbar.

Check these figures against the MI for the appliance in front of you, matched by GC number and manual date. Combustion work needs a calibrated analyser and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
