Heating and Hot-Water Performance

The Ideal Exclusive 2 heats water when you open a hot tap. Therefore, you do not need to store hot water in a separate cylinder.

The boiler provides a maximum hot-water output of 24.2kW. In addition, it can deliver up to 9.9 litres of hot water per minute at a 35°C temperature rise.

Meanwhile, the boiler supplies central heating to a suitable radiator system. Its output changes with demand, which helps the boiler run more smoothly and efficiently.

However, the correct boiler size depends on the property. For example, the installer must consider the number of radiators, insulation levels and hot-water demand. Therefore, always ask a heating engineer to check the required output before ordering.

Compact Cupboard-Fit Design

The Ideal Exclusive 2 measures 700mm high, 395mm wide and 285mm deep. As a result, it can fit into many standard kitchen cupboards and other small spaces.

The boiler also uses a drop-down control panel and gives the engineer easy access to the main parts. Therefore, installation and routine servicing remain simple.

However, the installer must still allow the clearances shown in the official installation instructions.

Built-In Mechanical Timer

The built-in mechanical timer lets you set daily heating times from the front of the boiler. Therefore, you can control when the central heating turns on and off without buying a separate basic timer.

The boiler also includes a digital operating display. This screen shows the boiler’s status and helps an engineer identify fault codes.

Hot-Water Preheat Function

The switched preheat function keeps the boiler ready to provide hot water more quickly. As a result, it can reduce the wait between opening a tap and receiving hot water.

You can switch the preheat function off when you do not need it. Therefore, you can choose between faster hot-water response and lower standby energy use.

Compatible Heating Controls

• Built-in 24-hour mechanical timer
• Digital operating and fault display
• Hot-water temperature control
• Switched hot-water preheat function
• OpenTherm wiring connection
• Boiler frost protection
• Pump and diverter-valve exercise functions
• Anti-cycling function

For Boiler Plus compliance, the installation may need a suitable room thermostat or advanced control. Therefore, ask your installer to select the correct controls for your home.

Standard Horizontal Flue Kit

This boiler package includes a compatible standard horizontal flue kit. The flue carries combustion gases safely outside and allows fresh air to enter the boiler.

The boiler also uses Ideal’s fast-fix flue turret connection. As a result, the engineer can connect a suitable flue route more easily.

However, some installations need flue extensions, bends, plume-management parts or a vertical terminal. These parts are available separately. Your Gas Safe engineer must design the complete flue route before installation.

Five-Year Ideal Warranty

The Ideal Exclusive 2 24kW comes with a five-year parts and labour warranty. However, Ideal’s current terms and conditions apply.

A Gas Safe registered engineer must install and commission the boiler. In addition, the installer or homeowner must register it within Ideal’s required time limit.

You must also arrange a service every year. Therefore, keep your proof of purchase, warranty details, Benchmark checklist and annual service records.

Installation Requirements

• Use a Gas Safe registered engineer
• Check the gas supply and working pressure
• Check the incoming mains-water pressure and flow rate
• Size the heating system correctly
• Clean and treat the heating system
• Design the flue route before installation
• Fit any required flue extensions and supports
• Install the condensate drain correctly
• Fit suitable heating controls
• Complete the Benchmark commissioning checklist
• Register the boiler for the manufacturer’s warranty

A qualified engineer must install and commission this boiler. Therefore, do not attempt to fit, alter or commission the appliance unless you hold the correct Gas Safe qualifications.

Check Before Ordering

• Confirm that the 24kW model suits the property
• Check the incoming water pressure and flow rate
• Confirm that you require the natural-gas model
• Check that the selected package includes the flue kit
• Confirm whether the installation needs flue extensions or bends
• Check whether an additional heating control is required
• Check the boiler dimensions and installation clearances
• Arrange installation with a Gas Safe registered engineer
