SECTION 3
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (UK)
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations.
3.1
RELATED DOCUMENTS
The installation of this boiler must be in
accordance with the relevant requirements of the
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the
local building regulations, the current I.E.E. wiring
regulations, the bylaws of the local water
undertaking, the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulation, and Building Standards (Northern
Ireland) Regulations.
It should be in accordance also with any relevant
requirements of the local authority and the
relevant recommendations of the following British
Standard Codes of Practice.
3.2
LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
The appliance may be installed in any room or
internal space, although particular attention is
drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E.
wiring regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical
provisions of the Building Regulations, with respect
to the installation of the appliance in a room or
internal space containing a bath or shower.
When an appliance is installed in a room or internal
space containing a bath or shower, the appliance
or any control pertaining to it must not be within
reach of a person using the bath or shower.
The location chosen for the appliance must per-
mit the provision of a safe and satisfactory flue
and termination. The location must also permit
an adequate air supply for combustion purposes
and an adequate space for servicing and air cir-
culation around the appliance. Where the instal-
lation of the appliance will be in an unusual loca-
tion special procedures may be necessary, BS
6798 gives detailed guidance on this aspect. A
compartment used to enclose the appliance must
be designed and constructed specifically for this
purpose. An existing compartment/cupboard may
be utilised provided that it is modified to suit.
Details of essential features of compartment/cup-
board design including airing cupboard installa-
tions are given in BS 6798. This appliance is not
suitable for external installation.
3.3
GAS SUPPLY
The gas meter – as supplied by the gas supplier
– must be checked to ensure that it is of adequate
size to deal with the maximum rated input of all
the appliances that it serves. Installation pipes
must be fitted in accordance with BS 6891.
Pipe work from the meter to the appliance must
be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than
the appliance gas inlet connection must not be
used. The installation must be tested for
soundness in accordance with BS6891.
If the gas supply serves more than one appliance,
it must be ensured that an adequate supply is
maintained to each appliance when they are in
use at the same time.
3.4
FLUE SYSTEM
The terminal should be located where the
dispersal of combustion products is not impeded
and with due regard for the damage and
discoloration that may occur to building products
located nearby. The terminal must not be located
in a place where it is likely to cause a nuisance
(see fig. 4).
3.4
FLUE SYSTEM (Cont’d.)
In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour will
condense on leaving the terminal; the effect of
such pluming must be considered.
If installed less than 2m above a pavement or
platform to which people have access (including
balconies or flat roofs) the terminal must be
protected by a guard of durable material. The
guard must be fitted centrally over the terminal.
Refer to BS 5440 Part 1, when the terminal is
0.5 metres (or less) below plastic guttering or 1
metre (or less) below painted eaves.
3.5
AIR SUPPLY
The following notes are intended for general
guidance only.
This appliance is a room-sealed, fan-flued boiler,
consequently it does not require a permanent
air vent for combustion air supply. When installed
in a cupboard or compartment, ventilation for
cooling purposes is also not required.
