EGULATIONS
It is the law in the UK that a competent person registered with the HSE approved body and in accordance with the Gas Safety regulations
installs all Gas appliances.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of safety to ensure the appliance is installed
correctly.
The installation of the water heater must be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety Regulations, Building regulations,
I.E.E. regulations and the bylaws of the local water undertaking. The installation should also be in accordance with any requirements of the
local gas distributor and local authority. In addition, the installation should follow the relevant guidance offered in the following documents. It
is not practical to list all relevant information but emphasis is placed on the following documents, as failure to comply with the guidance given
will almost certainly result in an unsatisfactory installation:
