SECTION 3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (UK)
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the Gas Safety (In-
stallation & Use) Regulations.
3.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
The installation of this boiler must be in accord-
ance with the relevant requirements of the Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the local
building regulations, the current I.E.E. wiring regu-
lations, the bylaws of the local water undertak-
ing, the Building Standards (Scotland) Regula-
tion and Building Standards (Northern Ireland)
Regulations.
It should be in accordance also with any relevant
requirements of the local authority and the rel-
evant recommendations of the following British
Standard Codes of Practice.
3.2 LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
The appliance may be installed in any room or
internal space, although particular attention is
drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E.
wiring regulations and in Scotland, the electrical
provisions of the Building Regulations, with re-
spect to the installation of the appliance in a room
or internal space containing a bath or shower.
When an appliance is installed in a room or inter-
nal space containing a bath or shower, the appli-
ance or any control pertaining to it must not be
within reach of a person using the bath or shower.
The location chosen for the appliance must per-
mit the provision of a safe and satisfactory flue
and termination. The location must also permit
an adequate air supply for combustion purposes
and an adequate space for servicing and air cir-
culation around the appliance. Where the instal-
lation of the appliance will be in an unusual loca-
tion special procedures may be
Necessary, BS 6798 gives detailed guidance on
this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the appliance
must be designed and constructed specifically for
this purpose. An existing compartment/cupboard
may be utilised provided that it is modified to suit.
Details of essential features of compartment/cup-
board design including airing cupboard installa-
tions are given in BS 6798. This appliance is not
suitable for external installation.
3.3 GAS SUPPLY
The gas meter – as supplied by the gas supplier
– must be checked to ensure that it is of adequate
size to deal with the maximum rated input of all
the appliances that it serves. Installation pipes
must be fitted in accordance with BS 6891.
Pipe work from the meter to the appliance must
be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than
the appliance gas inlet connection must not be
used. The installation must be tested for sound-
ness in accordance with BS6891.
If the gas supply serves more than one appliance,
it must be ensured that an adequate supply is
maintained to each appliance when they are in
use at the same time.
3.4 FLUE SYSTEM
The terminal should be located where the dis-
persal of combustion products is not impeded and
with due regard for the damage and discolora-
tion that may occur to building products located
nearby. The terminal must not be located in a
place where it is likely to cause a nuisance (see
fig. 4).
3.4 FLUE SYSTEM (Cont’d.)
In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour may
condense on leaving the terminal; the effect of
such pluming must be considered.
If installed less than 2m above a pavement or
platform to which people have access (including
balconies or flat roofs) the terminal must be pro-
tected by a guard of durable material. The guard
must be fitted centrally over the terminal. Refer
to BS 5440 Part 1, when the terminal is 0.5 me-
tres (or less) below plastic guttering or 1 metre
(or less) below painted eaves.
3.5 AIR SUPPLY
The following notes are intended for general guid-
ance only.
This appliance is a room-sealed, fan-flued boiler,
consequently it does not require a
Permanent air vent for combustion air supply.
When installed in a cupboard or compartment,
ventilation for cooling purposes is also not re-
quired.
