BS 5449 - Forced Circulation Hot Water Central Heating
Systems.
The Building Regulations - Part 'J' (England and Wales)
Part 'F' Section 111(Scotland)

OFTEC Installation Requirements for Oil Fired Boilers
and Oil Storage Tanks.
Health And Safety At Work Act
The installer should be aware of his responsibilities under
the Act and provide, where necessary, appropriate
protection for persons carrying out the installation.
In the interest of safety, the boiler should be installed and
commissioned by an OFTEC trained and registered
engineer.
A useful guide to Safe Working Practices for Oil Firing
Technicians is published by OFTEC.
ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
Siting the Boiler
Sound Levels
Whilst the low sound level of the Trianco EuroStar boiler
makes it eminently suitable for utility room installation,
the following aspects should be considered before
installation:
(a) Some people are particularly sensitive to even low
noise levels so this aspect should be discussed with
the householder.
(b) Small rooms tend to amplify noise, particularly if the
wall construction is hollow or the surface tiled.
(c) A chimney passing through a bedroom can some
times transmit noise.
(d) Low level flue terminals produce some exhaust
noise, so care should be taken when siting adjacent
to neighbouring property, patios and play areas.
Clearance and Service Access
When siting the boiler, ensure adequate clearance is
allowed for making water and flue connections and a
headroom of 450mm (18'') is provided for removal of flue
baffles and flu-way cleaning. A clearance of 750mm (30'')
is also required at the front of the boiler for burner
maintenance.
Hearth
The boiler MUST be fitted on a non-combustible base.
Also the floor must be level and capable of supporting the
installed weight of the boiler, including its water content.
comply with the following
Combustion Air
British Standard Code of Practice for Oil Firing BS 5410:
Part 1 requires a permanent air inlet opening of 550mm
per kW of boiler rated output. (over 5kW) The provision of
an adequate supply of combustion air is essential for the
efficient and safe operation of the boiler. The air opening
should be positioned so as to cause the least possible
draught to the occupants and located so it is not liable to
be accidentally blocked.
Ventilation (Conventional Flue Boilers)
Where the boiler is installed in a compartment or a con-
fined space, ventilation openings are also required to pre-
vent overheating of the appliance controls.

Extractor Fan
If the boiler room has an extractor fan, the combustion
performance of the appliance must not be affected when
the fan is running and all doors and windows are closed.
A flue gas check on the CO
be carried out to prove that combustion is satisfactory.
Water System
The installation must comply with the requirements of the
following Codes of Practice:
BS 5449: Part 1 - Forced Circulation Hot Water Systems.
BS 7074: Part 1 - Code of Practice for Sealed Water
Systems.
Electrical Supply
230V 1 Phase 50Hz (Fused 5 Amp)
Note: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
All electrical wiring must be carried out by a qualified
electrician in accordance with current I.E.E. Regulations
and any Local Regulations that may apply.
The mains electrical supply can be taken from a double
pole switch (fused 5 amp) situated near the boiler. The
cable should be heat resisting and routed either along the
top side of the casing in the cable clip provided or run
from the bottom side through the hole in the base tray. It
should be secured with the strain bush in the bottom of
the control panel.
Terminal connections are also provided in the control
panel for ancillary controls.
See wiring diagram Fig. 11
Warning - High and Low Voltage
In certain parts of the country, where there is a known risk
of high or low voltage fluctuations, the oil burner shall be
prevented from starting by the use of a voltage sensitive
device if the voltage drops or increases sufficiently to
endanger the installation.
