2. INSTALLATION
2.1 General Instructions
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996
In the interest of safety,
it is the law
that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current
I.E.E. Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with the Regulations
may lead to prosecution; it is your responsibility to ensure that the law is complied with.
N.B.
For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
IMPORTANT:
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be fitted in accordance with
the Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought from the Local
Supplier.
2.2 Positioning and wall mounting
The place of installation must be free of flammable objects or materials, corrosive gas, dust or volatile
substances. The environment must be dry and not exposed to rain, snow or frost.
The installation of the
ECONCEPT
must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will provide
an adequate fixing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly.
The location should be in an area where the water pipes will
not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the boiler the
following limitations
must
be observed.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of
the current I.E.E. wiring regulations and in Scotland the
electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a
room or internal 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 electricity must be situated so that it cannot be
touched by a person using the bath or shower.
The boiler is supplied ready for wall-hung installation. The
rear frame of the appliance has a series of slots for fastening
it to the wall, using screws with metal wall plugs. The fastening
to the wall must provide stable and effective support of the
appliance.
If the appliance is enclosed in a cabinet or alongside another
appliance, space must be allowed for normal maintenance
operations. Fig. 2 shows the minimum and recommended
space to be left free around the appliance.
WARNING!!
This appliance must be installed in a
room with sufficient ventilation, to avoid dangerous
conditions arising in the event of, even minor, gas
leaks. These safety standards are imposed by the
EEC Directive no. 09/396 for all gas appliances,
including the so-called sealed appliances.
