A boiler assembly 1 comprises a removable boiler unit 2 detachably connected to a manifold unit 4. The manifold unit 4 provides the boiler unit 2, in use, with a connection interface to a pipework system. The manifold unit 4 comprises a rear section comprising at least one guide rail 37 so positioned on the manifold unit 4 that, during assembly, the boiler unit 2 is moved along the guide rail 37 which supports and guides the boiler unit 2 on to the manifold unit 4. When assembled, the guide rail 37 supports the weight of the boiler unit 2. A rear portion of the boiler unit 2 comprises a rearwardly directed exhaust gas flue duct 25, and the rear section of the manifold unit 4 is provided with a flue box 35, a front portion of the flue box 35 being provided with a forwardly directed exhaust gas flue inlet 41 and a top portion of the flue box 35 is provided with an upwardly directed exhaust gas flue outlet 43, the assembly 1 is arranged such that as the boiler unit 2 is moved along the guide rail 37, the boiler unit 2 exhaust gas flue duct 25 sealingly connects with the manifold unit 4 exhaust gas flue inlet 41, the exhaust gas flue outlet 43 being arranged to be connected to a flue connection in the building. |
