BOILER INSTALLATION:
Other than special considerations for condensate
removal and plume dispersal, the installation of oil
fired condensing boilers is the same as for
non-condensing oil fired boilers.
BS 5410:1: 2014 gives the requirements for domestic
boiler and oil storage installations.
If an appliance is to be installed inside a building or
within a restricted area externally, a carbon monoxide
detector alarm conforming to BS EN 50291-1: 2018
should be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
For condensing boilers, the same requirements apply
for installation with regard to cleaning and flushing
and providing inhibitors, as are followed for any
other boiler. Manufacturer’s instructions must always
be followed together with the requirements of
BS EN 12828: 2012 + A1: 2014 & BS EN 12831-1: 2017
and the statutory requirements of the Building
Regulations.
To ensure the highest standards of installation & safety,
it is important that the boiler be installed in compliance
with the following regulations where applicable. It
is the responsibility of the installer and everyone
concerned with any aspect of installation, to ensure
that all applicable standards and regulations are fully
adhered to.
The following is a list of some of the applicable standards
and regulations. Please always check for the most up to
