4 Boiler installation sequence
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 zones 1, 2 and 3.
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.

Boiler installation sequence 4

The boiler should be positioned so that at least the minimum
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 clearance 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 En-
gineers document IG/UP/7 Edition 2 "Gas installations in
timber framed and light steel framed buildings". If in doubt
seek advice from the local gas undertaking or Vaillant.
