new domestic boiler from keston gives installers greater siting flexibility

Keston Boilers Ltd has launched its new 30c combination boiler with a pioneering, low-cost, solvent-weld PVC-C pipe flue system, bringing to the domestic market the flue siting flexibility only previously available in the light commercial sector.

As the technology of the 30c enables it to operate with low flue temperatures, the boiler can be installed with a standard 50mm PVC-C waste pipe that can be extended vertically or horizontally from the boiler, allowing installers to position the boiler almost anywhere in the home.

The boiler also comes with a full three-year parts and labour warranty, offering end users complete peace of mind.

The high-performance 30c provides impressive heating output – from 4.8kW to 30kW – and has a SEDBUK A-rating and energy efficiency of 91%. Suitable for most family homes and flats, the boiler fits neatly inside a standard kitchen cupboard without the need for ventilation.

To help reduce energy wastage the 30c comes with weather compensation as standard. This reduces the temperature of the water circulating in the system as outside temperatures rise; similarly, if temperatures fall, the boiler will respond and increase the flow temperature.

“The concept for the Keston 30C was to produce a highly flexible and reliable, top of the range combination boiler at a remarkable price. The flexibility comes from the flue system, which is simply 50mm solvent weld PVC-C pipe and fittings (Marley, Polypipe).

“At less than £4 per metre it is the lowest cost flue on the market and, with a capability up to 21 metres, this flue will go anywhere, and we pack a through the wall flue in the box free of charge,” said John Forster, Keston’s sales and marketing director.

The 30c is available at Plumb Center branches throughout the UK.
