SECTION 3A
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (EIRE)
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with and defined by, the
Standard Specification (Domestic Gas
Installations) Declaration (I.S. 813).
3A.1
RELATED DOCUMENTS
The installation of this boiler must be in accordance
with the relevant requirements of the local building
regulations, the current ETCI National Rules for
Electrical Installations, and the bylaws of the
local water undertaking.
It should be in accordance also with any relevant
requirements of the local and/or district authority.
3A.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 ETCI
National Rules for Electrical Installations, and
I.S. 813, Annex K.
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 permit
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
circulation around the appliance. Where the
installation of the appliance will be in an unusual
location special procedures may be necessary,
refer to I.S. 813 for 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.
This appliance is not suitable for external
installation.
3A.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 I.S. 813.
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 I.S. 813.
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.
3A.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 I.S. 813).
In cold and/or humid weather, water vapour may
condense on leaving the terminal; the effect of
such pluming must be considered.
If installed less than 2 m 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 I.S. 813, when the terminal is 0.5 metres
(or less) below plastic guttering or 1 metre (or
less) below painted eaves.
