Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoCase front panel on (MI Tab.22). With the case front panel off: 8.8% +0.3 −0.2. The Setting the gas valve table (MI 9.3.8) gives 8.8% +0.3 −0.2 at maximum without saying case on or off, which matches the case-off figure. The MI says the case front panel must be fitted when checking combustion (MI 7.4.2).

CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoAt both maximum and minimum rate (MI Fig.40). MI 9.1 and 9.3.8 also say it must be less than 0.004.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoWith the boiler at maximum rate. At the meter: 19–23 mbar (MI Fig.36). The MI also says the inlet test point (A) must be at least 18 mbar, the permissible pressure drop across system pipework is 1 mbar or less, the minimum at the meter is 19 mbar (MI 10.1.1) and the minimum at the gas valve is 17 mbar (MI 10.2.3). Dynamic (nominal) inlet pressure 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.
