 could invalidate the certification and the normal 

appliance warranty.  It could also infringe the Gas Safety 
Regulations and the above regulations.

boiler or its manufacture.

1.7  LOCATION OF BOILER 

The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical internal wall, 

capable of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any 
ancillary equipment.

The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation 

between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless required 
by the local authority.

For electrical safety reasons there must be no access available 
from the back of the boiler.

T

he boiler must not be fitted outside.

Timber Framed Buildings

be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering 

document IGE/UP/7:2006 Edition 2.

Compartment Installations

A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed and 
constructed specially for this purpose.

An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided that 

it is modified for the purpose.

Braces for compartments must be easily removable for service access.

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

• 

BS.6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see ‘Air Supply’ 
for details).

• 

The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate 
space for servicing in front of the boiler, This can be by means 
of an opening door 

• 

For the minimum clearances required for safety and 
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and 

Section 1.16.  In addition, sufficient space may be required to 

allow lifting access to the wall mounting plate.
