4.0
General Requirements
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations 1998.
4.1
Related Documents
The installation of this boiler must be in accor-
dance with the relevant requirements of the Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998 the
Local Building Regulations, the current l.E.E.
Wiring Regulations, the by-laws of the local water
undertaking, and in Scotland, in accordance with
the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulation. In
Ireland the local building regulations (IE).
It should be in accordance also with any relevant
requirements of the local authority and the rele-
vant recommendations of the following British
Standard Codes of Practice:
4.2
Location of Appliance
The combination boiler may be installed in any
room or internal space, although particular atten-
tion is drawn to the requirements of the current
l.E.E. Wiring Regulations, and in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the Building Regulations
applicable in Scotland, with respect to the instal-
lation of the combination boiler in a room or inter-
nal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a
room containing a bath or shower, any electrical
switch or appliance control, utilising mains elec-
tricity, should be located in such a position that it
cannot be touched by a person using the bath or
shower.
The location chosen for the boiler must permit the
provision of a satisfactory flue and termination.
The location must also permit an adequate air
supply for combustion purposes and an adequa-
te space for servicing and air circulation around
the boiler.
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an
unusual location special procedures may be
necessary and BS 6798:1987 gives detailed gui-
dance on this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must
be designed and constructed specifically for this
purpose. An existing cupboard or compartment
may be used provided that it is modified for this
purpose.
Details of essential features of cupboard/ com-
partment design including airing cupboard instal-
lations are given in BS 6798:1987. This appliance
is not suitable for external installation.
4.3
Gas Supply
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by
the gas supplier.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably
by the gas supplier, to ensure that the meter is
adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply
required for all appliances it serves.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance
with BS 6891:1988.
Pipework from the meter to the boiler must be of
adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than the
boiler inlet connection must not be used.
The complete installation must be tested for
soundness as described in the above code.
N.B. If the gas supply for the boiler serves other
appliances ensure that an adequate supply is
available both to the boiler and the other applian-
ce when they are in use at the same time.
4.4
Flue System
The terminal should be located where dispersal
of combustion products is not impeded and with
due regard for the damage or discoloration that
might occur to building products in the vicinity
(see fig 4).
The terminal must not be located in a place
where it is likely to cause a nuisance.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour will
condense on leaving the flue terminal. The effect
of such ‘pluming’ must be considered.
