The Vaillant EcoTEC Rear Piping Spacing Frame is a genuine boiler stand-off kit designed to create an additional 65 mm of clearance behind compatible Vaillant ecoTEC boilers. This allows heating flow and return pipework, gas connections and other services to be routed neatly behind the appliance and vertically upwards, rather than through a worktop or visible wall surface.
Ideal for kitchen installations and other restricted spaces, the frame helps installers achieve a cleaner finish while maintaining practical access for commissioning and servicing. It is supplied with the Vaillant part number 308650 and is a practical solution for professional heating engineers fitting or replacing an ecoTEC boiler.
