3.4 Installation

site

The location chosen for the boiler must permit the provi-
sion of a satisfactory flue termination. The location must
also provide adequate space for servicing and air circu-
lation around the boiler. The boiler may be installed in
any room, although particular attention is drawn to the
requirements of BS 7671 (IEE Regulations), the electrical
provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulations, and in IE the current edition of IS 813 and
the current ETCI rules, in respect of the installation of a
boiler in a room containing a bath or shower.

Note

If a room sealed boiler is installed in a room
with a bath or shower, electrical switches or
boiler controls using the mains power supply
must be placed at locations that cannot be
reached by the person in the bath or shower.

If the boiler is installed in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS 5546 and BS 6798
give detailed guidance on this aspect. The boiler must be
mounted on a flat, vertical wall, which must be suffi-
ciently robust to take the weight of the boiler. The boiler
may be installed on a combustible wall, subject to the
requirements of the Local Authorities and Building
Regulations.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be
designed and constructed specifically for this purpose.
(An existing cupboard or compartment may be used pro-
vided that it is modified for the purpose). Details of
essential features of cupboard/compartment design
including airing cupboard installations are given in BS
6798. If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed
building, it should be fitted in accordance with Institute
of Gas Engineers Publication IGE/UP/7/1998 “Guide for
Gas Installation in Timber Framed Housing”.
Please note the safety instructions below before decid-
ing where to install the boiler:

Caution!

Do not install the appliance in rooms prone to
frost. In rooms with aggressive steam or dust,
the appliance must be operated independent of
the ambient air.

When choosing the place of installation and while oper-
ating the appliance, make sure that the air supply is free
of chemical substances containing fluorine, chlorine, sul-
phur etc. Sprays, solvents and cleaning agents, paints,
adhesives etc. contain the kind of substances that can
lead to corrosion even in the exhaust system when the
appliance is operated depending on the ambient air in
the worst case scenario. Particularly in hair-cutting
salons, lacquering and finishing, cleaning facilities, the
appliance must be operated independent of the ambient
air! Otherwise, a separate installation room is required
to guarantee that the air supply is free of the above
mentioned substances.
