Boiler location
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 BS7671 (IEE Regulations), the elec-
trical provisions of the Building Regulations (Scotland)
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.
h Note!
Where a room sealed boiler is installed in a
room containing a bath or shower, any electri-
cal switch or boiler control utilising mains elec-
tricity should be so situated that it cannot be
touched by a person using the bath or shower.
Where the installation of the boiler will be 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 compart-
ment 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 6891. In IE the current edition of IS 813.
h Note!
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber framed
building, it should be fitted in accordance with
IGE/UP7 Edition 2 "Gas installations in timber
framed and light steel framed buildings".
Gas Supply
The gas supplier should ensure the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. A gas meter may only be con-
nected to the service pipe by the supplier of gas or their
contractor. An existing meter should be checked to
ensure that it is capable of passing the rate of gas sup-
ply required. Installation pipes should be fitted in accor-
dance with BS 6891. Pipework from the meter to the
boiler must be of an adequate size. Do not use pipes of
a smaller size than the boiler gas connection. The com-
plete installation must be tested for soundness and
purged as described in BS 6891.
