BOILER LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

HANDLING
The boiler can be moved into position by lifting,through the upper hooks(s), or by the use of rollers placed under the strong
L profiles of the basement. If necessary, due to the dimensions of the boiler, it is possible to remove the front door and the
smoke chamber to facilitate the introduction in the boiler house.
POSITIONING IN THE BOILER HOUSE
The installation of the boiler must be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety Regulations, current
I.E.E. Regulations, local water authority bye-laws and it should also comply with any relevant requirements of the local gas
supplier, local authority and the relevant Standard Codes of Practice and building regulations.
The boiler house must be ventilated through permanent openings having a total surface not lower than 1/30th of the floor
area of the boiler house, with a minimum of 0.5 m
Ventilation by grilles communicating directly with the outside air is required at both, high and low levels.
Do not obstruct the grates of aspiration of the air or dissipation of the heat.
The boiler must be positioned so that there is enough space available for the following:
- Access around the boiler fore servicing
- Space to open the boiler front door
- Space to access the burner.
The installation of the boiler as close as possible to the chimney position is highly recommended.
To allow the cleaning of the smoke pipes, in front of the boiler a clearance equal to the length of the boiler, has to be
available.
With the boiler door opened at 90°, the distance between the front of the door and the adjacent wall must be equal, at least,
at the length of the burner
The boiler must stand on a non-
combustible floor (i.e. concrete or brick),
of dimensions Q x R (see dimensions
table) which must be flat, level and of a
suitable load bearing capacity to support
the weight of the boiler (when filled with
water) and any ancillary equipment.
Once the installation has been made the
boiler must result perfectly horizontal and
well stable (to avoid vibrations and noise).
