New condenser boiler install question

ctlsleh · 2016-11-27 23:32:56

Just installing a new condenser boiler outside. Path is slightly angled away from house, I guess so rain runs off. Installer says it's OK if the boiler is slightly angled and not level, i.e., not at 90 degrees from the wall.......is that OK or is it a problem waiting to happen? Thanks

It's ok if he is going to put in a level base. It worries me that he thinks it's ok to have a tilt on it.

Boiler should be fitted level, to me its being lazy if someone can't be bothered to make up a level base.

Boiler should be level for the condensate to go where it's supposed to

Should be level. Boiler could possible airlock. The lid is adjustable so that it's set higher at the wall and falls away so the rain can roll of it
