1.10 Safety Valve
A safety valve need not be fitted to an open vented system.
1.11 Location
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation.
This boiler may be installed in any room, although particular
attention is drawn to the requirements of the current issue of
BS7671 with respect to the installation of a boiler in a room
containing a bath or shower. The electrical provisions of the
Building Standards (Scotland) apply to such installations in
Scotland.
The boiler must be mounted on a flat wall which is sufficiently
robust to take its total weight.
The boiler may be fitted to a wall made of combustible material.
1.12 Boiler Clearances
Refer to diagram 1.2.
This boiler must be positioned so that at least the minimum
operational and servicing clearances are provided.
Additional clearances may be required for installation.
If fixtures are positioned next to the boiler they should be made
removable for access to pipework.
At least a minimum of 500mm clearance must be left in front of
the boiler for servicing, see diagram 1.2.
1.13 Room Ventilation
The boiler is room sealed and does not require the room or
space containing it to have permanent air vents.
1.14 Boilers in a Compartment
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual position,
special requirements are needed, the current issue of BS6798
gives detailed guidance on these requirements.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be designed
and constructed specifically for this purpose. An existing
cupboard or compartment modified for the purpose may be
used. Details of essential requirements for cupboard or
compartment design are given in the current issue of BS6798.
The doorway opening should be of sufficient size to allow for
easy removal of the boiler.
Where the boiler is fitted in a cupboard or compartment,
permanent high and low level ventilation must be provided. The
minimum ventilation areas required are given in Table 3.
1.15 Timber Frame Building
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.
1.16 Heating System Controls
The heating system should have installed: a programmer and
room thermostat controlling the boiler.
Thermostatic radiator valves may be installed, however they
must not be fitted in a room where the room thermostat is
located.
