2.2.2 Boilers in a compartment
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual position, the current issue of BS 6798 gives
detailed guidance on these requirements.
An existing cupboard or compartment modified for the purpose may be used, providing minimum
clearances are maintained. Details of essential requirements for cupboards or compartment design are
given in the current issue of BS6798.
The doorway opening should be of sufficient size to allow for easy removal of the boiler.
Where the boiler is fitted in a cupboard or compartment permanent ventilation is not required.
Compartment ventilation is required to dissipate heat from any external heating circuit pipe-work, to
prevent overheating of the electrical components and wiring.
Any existing compartment air vents must not be removed or blocked off.
