3.4 Terminal Guard
A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact
with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.
If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide
a minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and
be central over the terminal.
The guard should be similar to that shown in diagram 3.5 and
can be bought from:

3.5 Timber Frame Buildings
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it should
be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers
document IGE/UP/7/1998. If in doubt seek advice from the local
gas undertaking or Hepworth Heating Ltd.
3.6 Room Ventilation
The boiler is room sealed, so when it is installed in a room or
space, a permanent air vent is not required.
3.7 Cupboard or Compartment Ventilation
If the boiler is to be fitted in a cupboard or compartment,
permanent high and low level air vents must be provided in
accordance with the rules in force in the countries of destination.
The vents must have at least the effective areas as given in
Table 3.
