4.1

Boiler location

h Note!
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation.
This boiler may be installed in any room, although
particular attention is drawn to the installation
of a boiler in a room containing a bath or shower
where reference must be made to the relevant
requirements. This boiler is suitable for instal-
lation in bathroom zone 2.
4.1.1

Sheet metal parts

a Caution!
When installing the appliance, care should be
taken to avoid any possibility of personal injury
when handling sheet metal parts.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS
and BUILDING REGULATIONS. In IE reference should
be made to the current edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas
Installations" and the current ETCI rules. The boiler must
be mounted on a flat wall, which is sufficiently robust to
take its total weight, see boiler specifications 2.1.
4.1.2

Clearances

Fig. 4.1 Distance during installation
* A removable compartment door can be placed at least 5 mm
in front of the appliance
18
The boiler should be positioned so that at least the mini-
mum operational and servicing clearances are provided,
see fig 4.1. Additional clearances may be beneficial
around the boiler for installation and servicing. For flue
installations where external access is not practicable,
consideration should be given for the space required to
insert the flue internally, which may necessitate clear-
ance larger than those specified in fig 4.1.
4.1.3

Timber frame buildings

If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building
it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of
Gas Engineers document IG/UP/7 Edition 2 "Gas instal-
lations in timber framed and light steel framed build-
ings". If in doubt seek advice from the local gas under-
taking or Vaillant.
