This boiler was first manufactured from 1988 to 1995 and this particular model is no longer being produced.

A broad range of Vaillant thermostats and clocks are available. You can find technical help on these by typing in your model into the question bar above or by browsing through our homepage here. 

What is the recommended water pressure?
