Boiler position
The following limitations must be
observed when siting the boiler:
■ The boiler is not suitable for external
installation. The position selected for
the installation should be within the
building, unless otherwise protected
by a suitable enclosure and must
allow adequate space for installation,
servicing and operation of the appli-
ance and for air circulation around it.
■ The position must allow for a suitable
flue system and terminal position.
The boiler must be installed on a flat
vertical wall capable of supporting the
weight of the appliance and any
ancillary equipment when full.
■ Due consideration should be given to
the routing of the condensate drain
from the chosen position.
■ If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber
framed building it should be fitted in
accordance with ige/up/7. If in doubt
advice must be sought from the Insti-
tute of Gas Engineers.
■ If the appliance is to be installed in a
room containing a bath or shower,
any electrical switch or control utilis-
ing mains electricity must be so situ-
ated that it cannot be touched by a
person using the bath or shower.
Attention is drawn to the require-
ments of BS 7671 (the current I.E.E
Wiring Regulations) and in Scotland
the electrical provisions of the Build-
ing Regulations applicable in Scot-
land.
■ A compartment used to enclose the
appliance must be designed and con-
structed specifically for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment
may be used provided it is modified
accordingly. BS 7698:2000 gives
details of the essential features of
cupboard / compartment design,
including airing cupboards. The
Vitodens range does not require
compartment ventilation.
■ Where installation will be in an
unusual location, special procedures
may be necessary. BS 6798 gives
detailed guidance on this aspect.
