Boiler Location; Gas Supply; Flueing; Location Of Boiler - Warmworld FFC 30/60 Installation & Service Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT.
It is important that no external
control devices are directly connected to this appli-
ance - unless covered by these 'Installation and
Servicing Instructions' or otherwise recommended
by the manufacturer. If in doubt, please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not
recommended by the manufacturer could infringe
the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the
above regulations and the normal appliance war-
ranty.
Manufacturer's notes must NOT be taken, in any
way, as overriding statutory obligations.

Location of Boiler

The boiler MUST be installed on a flat and vertical
non-combustible wall, capable of adequately sup-
porting the weight of the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
THE BOILER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR
EXTERNAL INSTALLATION.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building
it should be fitted in accordance with the British Gas
publication 'Guide for Gas Installations in Timber
Frame Housing', reference DM2. If in doubt, advice
must be sought from the Local Gas Region of British
Gas.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal
space. Particular attention is drawn to the require-
ments of the current I.E.E Wiring regulations and, in
Scotland, the electrical provisions of the Building
Regulations applicable to Scotland with respect to
the installation of the boiler in a room or internal
space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a
room containing a bath or shower then the appliance
and any electrical switch or appliance control,
utilising mains electricity should be so situated that it
cannot be touched by a person using the bath or
shower.
Where installation will be in an unusual location then
special procedures may be necessary and BS.6798
gives detailed guidance on this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be
designed and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard, or compartment, may be used
provided it is modified for the purpose. Details of
essential features of cupboard compartment design,
including airing cupboard installations are given in
BS.6798.
Condensing Boiler
In siting the boiler, the following limitations MUST be
observed:
1. The position selected for installation MUST allow
adequate space for servicing in front of the boiler
and for air circulation around the boiler.
2. This position MUST also permit the provision of a
satisfactory balanced flue termination.
3. This position MUST also permit the provision of a
satisfactory connection to the condensate drain.

Gas Supply

The Local Gas Region should be consulted, at the
installation planning stage, in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the Local Gas Region, or by a
local Gas region contractor. An existing meter
should be checked preferably by the Gas region, to
ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with
BS.6891
Do NOT use pipes of a smaller size than the boiler
inlet gas connection.

Flueing

Detailed recommendations for flueing are given in
BS.5440: 1. The following notes are intended for
general guidance.
1. Be aware of the plume from the flue and the
wetting effect it has to adjacent property.
2. The flue can be taken upwards, left, right or to the
rear of the appliance.
3. The boiler is supplied separate to the chosen flue
set. It can be supplied with Twin or Concentric
flues. The flue components for the Twin Pipe
application must be chosen from the separate
Flue Application Guide. There are two lengths of
Concentric Flue. Standard, that will reach
500mm, and Extended that will reach up to
2000mm. (Part No. M3838).
4. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal
is exposed to external air.
5. It is important that the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
6. The acceptable spacing from the terminal to
obstructions and ventilation openings are
specified in Table 1.
