is it acceptable for the top and Draft Side access panels on this boiler to have large gaps?

Concern is that flue gases may be leaking through these gaps into the home.

    All homes should have at least 1 if not more low level CO Detector(s).

    The boiler block, breeching and draft hood contain the flue gases. The access panels have nothing to do with it, they merely cover the insulation over the block.

    Flue gases may spill from the draft hood or burner opening in abnormal draft conditions, so a good carbon monoxide detector in the boiler room is essential.
