- Installation

GENERAL

Timber Framed Buildings

If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be
fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.

Bathroom Installations

This range of appliances is rated IP 1XB.

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.

If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or
shower then, providing water jets are not going to be used for
cleaning purposes (as in communal baths/showers), the
appliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.

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 or cupboard, including airing cupboards, must
conform to the following:

BS. 6798.

For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service see the wall mounting template and
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space will be required to allow
lifting access to the wall mounting plate.

Ventilation of the compartment ,e.g. permanent high and low
level air vents, must be provided in accord with the current
issue of BS 5440, Part 2. See Table 4 and 'Air Supply' .

AIR SUPPLY

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

1. If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment,

permanent air vents are required (for cooling purposes) in
the cupboard/compartment at both high and low levels. The
air vents must either communicate with room/internal space
or be direct to outside air. The minimum effective areas of the
permanent air vents required in the cupboard/compartment
are specified in Table 4 and are related to maximum rated
heat input.

2. Both air vents MUST communicate with the same room or

internal space or MUST be on the same wall to outside air.

3. In siting the air vents, care must be taken to avoid the freezing

of pipework.

4. If the boiler is NOT installed in a cupboard or compartment no

air vent is necessary.

SAFETY

Current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
or rules in force.

It is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a
CORGI registered installer in accordance with the above
regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to
ensure the law is complied with.

The installation of the boiler MUST also be in accordance with
the latest I.E.E (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations, local building
regulations, bye-laws of the local water authority, the building
regulations and the Building Standards (Scotland) and any
relevant requirements of the local authority.

Detailed recommendations are contained in the following
British Standard Codes of Practice:

BS. 5440:1

Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 60 kW).

BS. 5440:2

Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 60 kW).

BS. 5449

Forced circulation hot water systems.

BS. 5546

Installation of gas hot water supplies for
domestic purposes (2nd Family Gases)

BS. 6700

Design, installation testing and maintenance of
services supplying hot water for domestic use.

BS. 6798

Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated
input not exceeding 60 kW.

BS. 6891

Low pressure installation pipes.

Health & Safety Document No. 635.

The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.

The manufacturer’s notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.

IMPORTANT. These appliances are CE certificated for safety
and performance. It is, therefore, important that no external
control devices, e.g. flue dampers, economisers etc., are
directly connected to these appliances unless covered by
these Installation and Servicing Instructions or as otherwise
recommended by Caradon Plumbing Limited in writing. If in
doubt please enquire.

Any direct connection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Plumbing Limited could invalidate the certification
and the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the
Gas Safety Regulations and the above regulations.

SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES

Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler.

LOCATION OF BOILER AND FLUE OUTLET

The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable
of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.

The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless
required by the local authority.

The boiler must not be fitted outside.
