Installation site

The location chosen for the boiler must permit the pro-
vision of a satisfactory flue termination. The location
must also provide adequate space for servicing and air
circulation around the boiler. The boiler may be installed
in any room, although particular attention is drawn to
the requirements of BS 7671 (IEE Regulations), the elec-
trical provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulations, and in IE the current edition of IS 813 and
the current ETCI rules, in respect of the installation of a
boiler in a room containing a bath or shower.

If the boiler is installed in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS 5546 and BS 6798

give detailed guidance on this aspect. The boiler must
be mounted on a flat, vertical wall, which must be
sufficiently robust to take the weight of the boiler. The
boiler may be installed on a combustible wall, subject to
the requirements of the Local Authorities and Building
Regulations. A compartment used to enclose the boiler
must be designed and constructed specifically for this
purpose. (An existing cupboard or compartment may be
used provided that it is modified for the purpose).
Details of essential features of cupboard/compartment
design including airing cupboard installations are given
in BS 6798. If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber
framed building, it should be fitted in accordance with
Institute of Gas Engineers Publication „IGE/UP/7 Edition
2 Gas installations in timber framed and ligh steel
framed buildings". Note the safety instructions below
before deciding where to install the boiler:
When choosing the place of installation and while
operating the appliance, make sure that the air supply is
free of chemical substances containing fluorine, chlorine,
sulphur etc. Sprays, solvents and cleaning agents, paints,
adhesives etc. contain the kind of substances that can
lead to corrosion even in the exhaust system when the
appliance is operated depending on the ambient air in the
worst case scenario. Particularly in hair-cutting salons,
lacquering and finishing, cleaning facilities, the appliance
must be operated independent of the ambient air!
Otherwise, a separate installation room is required to
guarantee that the air supply is free of the above
mentioned substances.
3.5
The gas supplier should ensure the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. A gas meter may only be
connected to the service pipe by the supplier of gas or
Note
If a room sealed boiler is installed in a room
with a bath or shower, electrical switches or
boiler controls using the mains power supply
must be placed at locations that cannot be
reached by the person in the bath or shower.
Note
If the boiler is to be installed in an airing cup-
board it is not required to separate the boiler
with a non-combustible partition. However
installation and servicing clearances must be
maintained, and the appliance kept clear of any
clothing.
Caution!
Do not install the appliance in rooms prone to
frost. In rooms with aggressive steam or dust,
the appliance must be operated independent of
the ambient air.
