Installation and Servicing
GENERAL
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 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
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 Ideal Limited
in writing. If in doubt
please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Ideal 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 or its
manufacture.
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.
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:
z
BS. 6798 (No cupboard or ventilation is required - see air
supply for details).
z
The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
z
For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and
Frame 2. In addition, sufficient space may be required to
allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
