The GC number on your boiler's data badge identifies the exact appliance and production years, as recorded in the UK Product Characteristics Database.
| GC number | Appliance (register name) | Produced |
|---|---|---|
| 47-044-71 | ecoFIT sustain 825 VUW 256/6-3 (H-GB) | 2016–present |
Appliance names and production years are taken from the UK Product Characteristics Database (the SAP/SEDBUK register). Where a GC number is also printed in this model's own manufacturer manual, both sources were checked to agree.
