WD420/3/2007 Chapter 3 - Boiler Location
g Copper tubing to BS 2871 Part 1 or barrier plastic pipe suitable to 110
Unipipe, is recommended.
h Jointing should be either with capillary, threaded or compression fittings. Pipes
should have a gradient to ensure air is passed easily to vent points and water
flows readily to drain points.
i Draining taps must be located in accessible positions which permit the draining of
the boiler. Draining taps should be at least 22 mm in nominal size and be in
accordance with BS 2879.

AIR VENT POINTS

j These must be fitted at all high points where air will naturally collect and must be
sited to allow complete draining of the system.
