Where should Gas & Carbon Monoxide Detectors be fitted?
Combined Gas & Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors should be fitted in all rooms with a fuel burning appliance such as a boiler or
gas cooker and where a lot of time is spent e.g. the kitchen or living room.
They should not be fitted in the bathroom or areas subject to steam, damp or humidity.
Choosing a Location
The combined gas & CO detector should be wall mounted in the highest part of the room, approx 300mm from the ceiling and
between 1 and 5 metres from the appliance.
The combined gas & CO detector should not be located inside a cupboard, behind a curtain, directly above the cooker or sink, next
to a door or window or near an extractor fan.
The combined gas & CO detector should be within 5 metres of a mains supply otherwise the cable provided will need extending.
Typical Tools Required
Be careful when using step ladders – always face the direction you are working.
Always make sure the correct drill bits and screwdrivers are used.
Installation

the detection of combustible gases in domestic premises
states that detectors should be permanently installed
and it should not be possible to switch off power to the
device, unless for maintenance. A plug and socket type
connection should not be used, due to the ease with which
the detector may be disconnected from the power supply.
2.
Fix the mounting plate complete with detector to the
wall using the screws and plugs provided through the
4 fixing holes "A".
3.
The detector should be wired to the mains supply by a

fused spur outlet fitted with a 3A fuse to BS1363-4 and
BS1362 respectively, or according to local regulations.
