Siting the Appliance
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical
provisions of the Building Regulations applicable in Scotland,
with respect to the installation of the combined appliance in a
room containing a bath or shower, the location of the boiler in a
room containing a bath or shower should only be considered if
there is no alternative.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room con-
taining a bath or shower the appliance and any electrical
switch or appliance control, utilising mains electricity
should be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower, specifically in accordance with
current IEE Wiring Regulations.
The location must permit adequate space for servicing and air
circulation around the appliance as indicated in Section 6.4.
The location must permit the provision of an adequate flue and
termination.
For unusual locations special procedures may be necessary.
BS 6798-1987 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the appliance must be designed
specifically for this purpose. No specific ventilation requirements
are needed for the installation within a cupboard.
This appliance is not suitable for outdoor installation.
The type C appliances (in which the combustion circuit, air
vent intake and combustion chamber are air-tight with
respect to the room in which the appliance is installed) can
be installed in any type of room.
Secondary ventilation is not required with this boiler. The boiler
must be installed on a solid, non-combustible, permanent wall to
prevent access from the rear.
