compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are to
conform to the following:
• BS.6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see ‘Air Supply’
for details).
• The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler, This can be by means
of an opening door
• For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Section 1.16. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
