5.10 Terminal guard and terminal clearances.
5.10.1 A terminal guard is supplied with this appliance.
In England and Wales the Building Regulations require a terminal guard to be fitted if
the terminal could come into contact with people near the building or be subject to
damage.
In the republic of Ireland the installation must also conform to the relevant parts of the
current edition of IS 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”
We recommend that the guard is fitted where contact with or damage to the terminal
is possible even if regulations do not demand it.
5.10.2 Minimum allowable distances from the terminal are shown in figures 5 and 6.
