IMPORTANT
If the Heater is to be fi tted in a timber framed build-
ing it should be fi tted in accordance with the Brit-
ish 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 Heater may be installed in any room or internal
space. Particular attention is drawn to the require-
ments of the current I.E.T. 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, utilis-
ing 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 Heater MUST
be designed and constructed specially for this
purpose. An existing cupboard, or compartment,
may be used provided it is modifi ed for the purpose.
Details of essential features of cupboard compart-
ment design, including airing cupboard installations
are given in BS.6798.
In siting the Heater, 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 fl ue termination.
3. This position MUST also permit the provision of a
satisfactory connection to the condensate drain.
Gas Supply
An existing meter and pipework should be checked,
preferably by the Gas Supplier, to ensure that they
are adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply
required.
Supply pipes should be sized to suit installation
and obtain a working pressure of 20 mbar (NG), 37
mbar (Propane) 29 mbar (Butane). Installation pipes
should be fi tted in accordance with BS.6891.
A Natural Gas Heater must be connected to a gov-
erned meter.
ESSENTIAL
It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the
terminal cannot re-enter the building, or any other
adjacent building, through ventilators, windows,
doors, other sources of natural air infi ltration or
forced ventilation/air conditioning.
If this should occur, the appliance MUST be turned
OFF IMMEDIATELY and the Local Supplier con-
sulted.
Air Supply
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air
vent in the room or internal space in which the boiler
is installed.
Where the boiler is installed in a cupboard or com-
partment no air vents are required.
However the user may wish to ensure that it is venti-
lated to provide air circulation.
Outdoor Heaters
These Heaters are certifi ed for outdoor installation,
when equipped with the approved terminal.
WARNING
The heater shall not be located in an area where
water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water
to spray through the cabinet openings and into the
heater. This could cause heavy internal rusting or
damage some electrical components, and this would
void the warranty.
It is recommended that periodically the casing is
cleaned and sprayed with WD40 or similar liquid, and
any exposed threads are lightly coated in grease.
