PRESSURE RELIEF PIPE WORK

NOTICE:
▶ The pressure relief valve is a safety device for the
boiler and if activated may discharge boiling water or
steam through the relief valve drain pipe.
▶ Care should be taken when siting the outlet pipe so
that it does not cause an obstruction or discharge
above a window, entrance or other public access
where it could cause a hazard.
• The pressure relief drain pipe (1) from the boiler should be at least
15mm diameter copper pipe and run downwards, away from any
electrical equipment or other hazard, preferably to an external drain
or soak away.
• Pipe (1) should be finished with a partial bend, near the outlet to face
the external wall (as shown) to help prevent freezing.

No surface protection is required against heat transfer
from the boiler
3.6.2 SERVICING CLEARANCES -
VENTILATED COMPARTMENT
Figure 18 shows the minimum space required to install and service the

3.6.3 COMPARTMENTS:

Follow the requirements of BS6798 and BS5440 Part 2 and note:
• Minimum clearances must be maintained.
• An access door is required to install, service and maintain the boiler
and any ancillary equipment.
• If the boiler is installed in an unventilated airing/storage cupboard,
there is no requirement to make a partition between the boiler and the
storage space as long as the minimum clearances around the boiler
are maintained.
• Ideally, storage should be below the boiler, where the boiler is
mounted in the upper part of the cupboard, whilst maintaining the
clearances given in tables 11, 12, or 13.
