Where should a Gas Detector be fitted?
A gas detector should be fitted in the room where a gas escape is most likely to occur.
For most installations the most likely source of a gas escape will be the cooker in the kitchen.
Choosing a Location
Natural gas is lighter than air therefore the gas detector should be wall mounted above
the level of a possible gas escape but not more than 30cm from the ceiling.
The gas detector should be located between 1 and 5 metres from the gas appliance. It must not be located inside a cupboard,
behind a curtain, directly above the cooker or sink, next to a door or window or near an extractor fan.
The gas detector should be within 5 metres of a mains supply otherwise the cable provided will need replacing.
Typical Tools Required
Be careful when using step ladders
–
always face the direction you are working.
Always make sure the correct drill bits and screwdrivers are used.

If choosing to use a plug and socket then fit the plug-wrap,
plug-in and switch on the mains supply.
