3.16
Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a room that is built entirely below
ground level (See BS 5871 Part 2).
3.17
If the appliance is to be fitted against a
wall with combustible cladding, the cladding
must be removed from the area covered by the
fascia. The cladding must also not touch the
fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the fascia
is used as a template to mark the area for
combustible cladding removal and that this
area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
3.18
Proprietary terminals must comply with
BS 715 or BS 1289. Any terminal or
termination must be positioned in accordance
with BS 5440 Part 1 to ensure that the products
of combustion can be safely dispersed into the
outside atmosphere. Where the appliance is
connected to an unlined brick chimney it is
generally unnecessary for the chimney pot to
be replaced or for a terminal to be fitted unless
the flue has a diameter smaller than 170mm.
3.19
The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the
appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer
should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have
been thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances should
the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers replacement
part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not replaceable.
3.20
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm or pets.
3.21
The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is shown in figure 5.
