SITE REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Location
1. The boiler may be fitted to any suitable wall with the
flue passing through an outside wall or roof and
discharging to atmosphere in a position permitting
satisfactory removal of combustion products and
providing an adequate air supply. The boiler should be
fitted within the building unless otherwise protected by
a suitable enclosure i.e. garage or outhouse. (The
boiler may be fitted inside a cupboard - see Section
7.3).
2. If the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure then it
is recommended that frost protection is incorporated in
the control system.
3. If the boiler is fitted in a room containing a bath or
shower reference must be made to the relevant
requirements.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and
Building Regulations.
In IE reference should be made to the current edition
of I.S. 813 "Domestic Gas Installations" and the
current ETCI rules.
4. If the boiler is to be fitted into a building of timber
frame construction then reference must be made to
the current edition of Institute of Gas Engineers
Publication IGE/UP/7 (Gas Installations in Timber
Framed Housing).
7.2 Clearances (Fig. 11 & 12)
1. A flat vertical area is required for the installation of
the boiler.
2. These dimensions include the necessary
clearances around the boiler for case removal,
spanner access and air movement. Additional
clearances may be required for the passage of pipes
around local obstructions such as joists running
parallel to the front face of the boiler.
* NOTE: The boiler can be operated with a
clearance of 5mm at the right. This is also sufficient
for routine maintenance. However a clearance of
20mm is required if it is necessary to remove the
secondary heat exchanger. This should be
considered when siting the appliance and in the
event of any subsequent alteration in the area of
installation.
