GENERAL

Mini --- Installation & Servicing

The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation

between the wall and the boiler is not necess ar y, unless

required by the local authority.

The boiler must not be fitted outside.

Timber Framed Buildings

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, 1998.

Bathroom Installations

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. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in

Scotland, the elect rical 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.

For Ireland reference should be made to the current ETCI

rules for electrical installations and I.S.813:2002

Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room

cont aining 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.

Note. It is not permissible to install a mains socket in a

bathroom.

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 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.

In both cases details of essential features of cupboard /

compartment design, including air cupboard installation, are

to conform to the following:

F BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required --- see “Air

supply” for details)

F The position selected for installation MUST allow

adequate space for servicing in front of the boiler.

F For the minimum clearances required for safety and

subsequent service, see the wall mounting template and

frame 2. I n 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

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.

Natural gas boilers must be installed on a gas supply with a

governed meter. A gas meter can only be connected by the

local gas supplier or by a registered CORGI engineer.

Propane gas boilers MUST be installed with pipes, cylinders

and pressure regulators fitted in accordance with BS.5482.1.

Bulk tank installations MUST comply with the Home Office

code of practice for storage of liquefied petroleum gas at fixed

installations. The complete installation MUST be tested for

gas soundness and purged as described in the above code.

The boiler is adjusted at the factory for use with the relevant

supply gas. A working gas pressure equal to that stated in

Table 1 MUST be available at the boiler inlet.

Where applicable, the appliance can be converted for

G20---Natural Gas or G31---Propane Gas by using the

appropriate conversion kit.

IMPORTANT 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

adequatesize,i.e.notlessthan22mmO.D.copperor3/4”

BSP iron.

FLUE INST ALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Thefluemustbeinstalledinaccordancewiththe

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

Tab le 4.

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.

Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.

5 Where the terminal is fitted within 850mm (34”) of a plastic

or painted gutter or 450mm (18”) of painted eaves then an

aluminium shield at least 750mm (30”) long should be

fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted surface

fitted centrally above the flue.

6 The air inlet/product s 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.

3 Below eaves 200 mm ( 8”) **

4 Below balconies or a car port roof 300 mm ( 12”) **

5 From vertical drain pipes or soil

pipes*

60 mm ( 2 1/2”) **

6 From an internal or external corner

or to a boundary along side the

terminal

150 mm ( 6”) **

7 Above adjacent ground, roof or

balcony level

300 mm (12”)

8 From a surface or a boundary

facing the terminal.

600 mm (24”)

9 From a terminal facing a terminal 1200 mm (48”)

11 Vert ically from a terminal on the

same wall

12 Horizont ally from a terminal on the

wall

* If the terminal is within 150mm of any vertical soil or drain

pipe, an aluminium shield at least 400mm (15 3/4”) long

should be fitted equi---distant from the terminal and close to

the pipe.

** If a reduction down to 25mm(1”) is required in any of the

indicated positions, horizontal flue kit no. 200889 MUST be

used. Only 1 reduction down to 25mm is allowable per

installation.
