Installation

GENERAL

Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room containing
a bath or shower then the appliance and any electrical switch or
appliance control utilising mains electricity should be so situated
that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.

Where installation will be in an unusual location, special procedures
may be necessary and BS.6798 gives detailed guidance on this
aspect.

Compartment Installations

A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided it
is modified for the purpose.

In both cases details of essential features of cupboards/
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are to
conform to the  following :

z

BS. 6798.

z

The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler and for air circulation
around the boiler. Refer to 'Air Supply' on page 8.

z

For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service refer to the Wall mounting diagram,
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to  establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the local gas supplier.

A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or by
a local regional contractor.

An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate
of gas supply required. A MINIMUM pressure of 20 mbar MUST
be available at the boiler inlet with the boiler operating.

Installation pipes MUST be fitted in accordance with BS. 6891.
Pipework from the meter to the boiler MUST be of an adequate
size. FF2 100 models should be piped in 22mm minimum. The
final 1metre may be run in 15mm if it is visible.

The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness and
purged as described in the above code.

FLUE INSTALLATION

The flue must be installed in accordance with the recommendations
of BS. 5440:1.

The following notes are intended for general guidance:-

1

. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed

to external air.

2.

It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.

3.

Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specified in Table 3.

4.

Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m
(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then the terminal MUST be protected
by a purpose designed guard.  The minimum spacing in Table

3, Nos. 2,3, 4, 5 and 6 would be 75mm in order to allow a
terminal guard to be fitted.

Terminals guards are available from boiler suppliers - ask for
Tower Flue Guard, Model K1.  In case of difficulty seek advice
from:

Tower Flue Components Ltd.,
Vale Rise, Tonbridge, Kent TN9 1TB (Model K1)
Telephone No. 01732 351 555

Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.

5.

Where the terminal is fitted within 1000mm (39 

1/2

") of a plastic

or painted gutter or 500mm (19 

1/2

") of painted eaves then an

aluminium shield at least 1000mm (39 

1/2

") long should be

fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted surface.

6.

The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler
MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible
material are given in BS.5440: 1990.

7.

Where it is essential that the terminal wall plate is fitted, i.e.
wall thicknesses over 600mm (23 

1/2

") or with an inaccurately

cut hole, the minimum spacing in Table 3 Nos. 2,3, 4, 5 and 6
would be 60mm (2 

1/2

") in order to allow the terminal wall plate

to be fitted.

IMPORTANT

. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice,

that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air
infiltration, or forced ventilation/air conditioning.

If this should occur, the appliance MUST be turned OFF,
labelled 'unsafe' and corrective action taken.

TERMINAL

The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate various
wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 8.

AIR SUPPLY

Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS.5440:2. The following notes are for general guidance:

Table 3 - Balanced flue terminal position

Minimum Spacing

1.

Directly below or alongside an
opening window, air vent or other

9.

From a terminal facing a terminal

1200 mm (48")

10.

From an opening in a car port
(e.g. door or window) into dwelling

1200 mm (48")

11.

Vertically from a terminal on the
same wall

1500 mm (60")

12.

Horizontally from a terminal on the wall

300 mm (12")
