CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoAt maximum and minimum gas rate (commissioning flowchart). Section 3.1 says to contact Ideal if the ratio is greater than 0.004 after checking flue and seal integrity, inlet pressure and gas rate.
Less than 0.0040
O₂
Not given in MI
Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoMI 1.8: a minimum permitted operating pressure of 18 mb is assumed at the appliance inlet; the boiler can deliver full output at inlet pressures as low as 14 mb. Minimum meter outlet: 19 mb. The gas cock test point can read slightly lower (pressure drop graph in MI 1.8). Check at the gas service cock test point at maximum rate with all other gas appliances working (MI 2.23). Table 1 gives the gas supply as 2H - G20 - 20mbar. No maximum given.

Flue integrity
More infoHide infoThe flowchart passes the flue if O₂ is 20.6% or more OR CO₂ is 0.2% or less. Measured at the air sample point on the flue turret, boiler at maximum rate.
O₂ ≥ 20.6%
CO₂ ≤ 0.2%

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.
