Regulations 1994”, & the “The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) (Amendment)
Regulations 1996”. Failure to comply with
these Regulations is a criminal offence.

NO AIR VENT is
required.
• For room volumes between 5m

and
10m

an air vent of 50cm

• If there are other fuel burning appli-

Part 2: 1989 should be consulted to
determine the air vent requirements.
