GENERAL
Bathrooms
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current I.E.E. (BS 7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland,
the electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room or
internal space containing a bath or shower.
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.
2 FLOOR MOUNTING AND BOILER CLEARANCES
IMPORTANT.
In order to facilitate gas connection, a clearance of at least
100 mm (4") must be available at either the left hand side or
the right hand side DURING installation. Refer to Frame 6.
In addition a MINIMUM clearance of 533 mm (21") MUST be
available at the front of the boiler, for servicing.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, providing it
is modified for the purpose.
In both cases details of essential features of cupboards/
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are

This position MUST also permit the provision of a
satisfactory flue termination.

the appliance. Materials giving off flammable vapours must
not be stored in the same room as the appliance.
