4.7 BOILER LOCATION IN A BOILER ROOM

Special attention shall be paid to local regulations and laws about boiler enclosures and boiler
rooms, particularly to the minimum clearances around the boiler. The installation shall be in
compliance with all the latest regulations and laws about boiler enclosures, boiler rooms,
installations of heating and hot-water systems, ventilation, vents capable of exhausting the flue
gases of condensing boilers, and any other applicable requirements.
The boiler can be put on a flat and sufficiently strong base with the same dimensions as the
boiler and at least 3.93'' (100 mm) high (see Figure 4-3), in order to assemble the condensate
trap. An alternative to this base may be a 100 mm deep well or trench next to the boiler to
accommodate the condensate "U" drain pipe (see Figure 4-3). After installation the boiler shall
be perfectly horizontal and stable, to reduce any possible vibrations or noises.

4.7.1 Boiler Room Safety Concerns

When selecting the position for the installation of the boiler please comply with the following
safety requirements:
• Ensure easy access to the components of the boiler to facilitate maintenance.
• The room where the boiler will be placed must always be frost free.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
• Never use or store any chlorinated detergents or halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. in
spraycans, solvents and detergents, paints, adhesives) in proximity to the boiler.
