Installation & Servicing

Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room containing
a bath or shower then the appliance and any electrical switch or
appliance control utilising mains electricity should be so situated
that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.

Where installation will be in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS.6798 gives detailed
guidance on this aspect.

Compartment Installations

A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided it
is modified for the purpose.

In both cases details of essential features of cupboards/
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, are
to conform to the following :

BS. 6798.

The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler and for air circulation
around the boiler. Refer to 'Air Supply'.

For the minimum clearances required for safety and
subsequent service refer to Frame 2. In addition, sufficient
space may be required to allow lifting access to the wall
mounting plate.

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the local gas supplier.

The boiler is to be installed only on gas supply with a governed
meter.

A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or by
a local regional contractor.

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. A MINIMUM pressure of 20 mbar MUST be
available at the boiler inlet with the boiler operating.

Installation pipes MUST be fitted in accordance with BS. 6891. In
IE refer to I.S. 813:2002. Pipework from the meter to the boiler
MUST be of an adequate size.

The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundness
and purged as described in the above code.

FLUE INSTALLATION

Pluming may occur at the terminal so terminal positions which
would cause a nuisance should be avoided.

The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS.5440-1:2000. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.

The following notes are intended for general guidance:-

1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed to

external air.

2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free

passage of air across it at all times.

3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions

and ventilation openings are specified in Table 3.

4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m

(6'6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof to
which people have access then the terminal MUST be protected
by a purpose designed guard.

Terminals guards are available from boiler suppliers - ask for
TFC Flue Guard, Model K1. In case of difficulty seek advice
from:

Grasslin (UK) Ltd., Tower House, Vale Rise, Tonbridge,
Kent TN9 1TB.
Tel: +44 (0) 1732 359 888. Fax: +44 (0) 1732 354 445
www.tfc-group.co.uk

Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.

5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to

prevent ignition or damage to any part of any building.

6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler

MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible
material are given in

BS.5440-1:2000. In IE refer to I.S.

813:2002.

IMPORTANT. It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice,
that products of combustion discharging from the terminal
cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building
through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air
infiltration, or forced ventilation/air conditioning.

If this should occur, the appliance MUST be turned OFF, labelled
'unsafe' and corrective action taken.

TERMINAL

The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate
various wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 10.

AIR SUPPLY

Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS.5440:2. In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
