Location of appliance
The appliance may be installed in any room or in-

drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. Wir-
ing Regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical
provisions of the Building Regulations applicable
in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the
combined appliance in a room containing a bath

ETCI rules for electrical installations.
Where a room---sealed appliance is installed in
a room containing a bath or shower, any electri-
cal switch or appliance control, utilising mains
electricity should be so situated that it cannot
be touched by a person using the bath or
shower.
The location must permit the provision of an ad-
equate flue and termination.
For unusual locations special procedures may be
necessary and BS 6798 gives detailed guidance
on this aspect.
A compartment used to enclose the appliance
must be designed specifically for this purpose.
This appliance is not suitable for external installa-
tion.
5.3
Flue system
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must
be made as described in BS 5440 part 1.
For Ireland (IE), refer to I.S.813.2002.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue ter-
minal is exposed to external air.
It must not be installed so that the terminal dis-
charges into an other room or space as an out-
house or lean---to. It is important that the position
of the terminal allows a free passage of air across
at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for
the damage or discoloration that might occur to
building products in the vicinity.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may
condense on leaving the flue terminal; the effect of
such ”steaming” must be considered.
Pluming may easily occur at the terminal. Where
possible, terminal position which could cause a
nuisance should be avoided.
