SAFETY
Installation of this boiler as an unvented hot water system falls
within the scope of the Building Regulations 1995 (Part G).
These require that installation of an ‘unvented’ system shall be
notified to the local authority Building Control Department: also
that the work must be carried out by a competent person as
defined in the Approved Document G3.
Current Gas Safety (installation and use) regulations or rules
in force:
The appliance is suitable only for installation in GB and IE and
should be installed in accordance with the rules in force.
In GB, the installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe
Registered Engineer. It must be carried out in accordance with
the relevant requirements of the:
•
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
• The appropriate Building Regulations either The Building
Regulations, The Building Regulations (Scotland), Building
Regulations (northern Ireland).
• The Water Fittings Regulations or Water byelaws in
Scotland.
• The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.
Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be
made to the relevant British Standard Code of Practice.
In IE, the installation must be carried out by a Registered Gas
Installer (RGII) and installed in accordance with the current
edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations", the current
Building Regulations and reference should be made to the
current ETCI rules for electrical installation.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following British
Standard Codes of Practice:
BS. 5440:1 Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5440:2 Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5449 Forced circulation hot water systems.
BS. 5546 Installation of gas hot water supplies for
domestic purposes (2nd Family Gases)
BS. 6798 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated

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
Ideal Stelrad Group in writing. If in doubt
please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by Ideal
Stelrad Group 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 or its
manufacture.
LOCATION OF BOILER AND FLUE OUTLET
The boiler is floor mounted. The floor must be capable of
adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible floor and insulation
between the floor and the boiler is not necessary, unless
required by the local authority.
For electrical safety reasons there must be no access available
from the back of the boiler.
The boiler must not be fitted outside.
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.
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 should be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided
that it is modified for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard /
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.
• For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see Frame 2. In addition, sufficient
space may be required to allow lifting access for the boiler
module.
