Introduction

This excellent range of gas fired, wall-mounted condensing boilers means that providing all the hot water and heating your commercial property or large home needs has never been so easy, with outputs of 50kw, 65kw, 80kw and 100kw!

But what’s so great about this boiler is that it can also be used as part of a ‘multi-boiler cascade system’ that allows you up to a maximum of eight boilers for a total combined output of up to 800kw – now that’s fairly impressive.

Worcester Bosch is a premium brand, and one that I’ve personally worked with for many, many years, and they’ve quite rightly gotten their name for being ultra dependable and using only the highest quality components – that’s why they’ve been voted Which ‘Best Buy’ for six years running).

Despite packing a wallop, these boilers have a surprisingly compact size, and measure in at 1414mm x 520mm x 465mm, but bear in mind this is the height with the pump group added. This boiler is idea for when space is limited.

As I mentioned above, the GB162 series can be used as part of a multi boiler cascade system, and can easily work away with up to 7 other boilers which can be sequenced to only come on when required. These boilers also come with a cascade kit that includes everything you need.
