British Gas/Scottish Gas Condensing appli- ance. Benchmark The “Benchmark” initiative is the new code of practice to encour- age the correct installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic central heating boilers and system equipment.
Safety precautions Safety precautions Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the above regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your inter- est, and that of safety, to ensure compliance with the law.
General notes Combustible materials B Do not store or use any combustible materials (paper, thin- ners, paints etc.) in the vicinity of the appliance. Health and safety B This appliance contains no asbestos products. B There is no potential hazard due to the appliance being electri- cally unsafe.

General notes done. Repeated venting will reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replenished for safe and satisfactory operation of the appliance. Should water leaks be found in the system or excessive venting is required then a service engineer must be contacted to inspect the installation and rectify any fault.
Page 112
General notes Thermostatic radiator valves It is recommended that this type of valve is fitted to all the radia- tors except one, usually radiator where the room thermostat is fit- ted. They should conform to the requirements of BS2767:10. Showers, bidets, taps and mixing valves – RD 532 Boilers Standard hot and cold taps and mixing valves must be suitable for operating at mains pressure.
Page 113
General notes Alternatively the maximum temperature of the domestic hot water may be reset to about 45 °C which will reduce the risk of scale formation in these hard water areas. Ventilation This is a room sealed appliance and does not require any air for combustion from inside the house.
