2 Boiler Location, Clearances and Ventilation

2.1 Location

This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation.
This boiler may be installed in any room, although particular

attention is drawn to the installation of a boiler in a room

containing a bath or shower where reference must be made to

the relevant requirements.
This boiler is suitable for installation in bathroom zones 2 and

3.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS and

BUILDING REGULATIONS.
In IE reference should be made to the current edition of

I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations” and the current ETCI

rules.

2.2 Clearances

The boiler should be positioned so that at least the minimum

operational and servicing clearances are provided, see

diagram 2.1.
Additional clearances may be beneficial around the boiler for

installation and servicing.
For flue installations where external access is not practicable,

consideration should be given for the space required to insert

the flue internally, which may necessitate a clearance larger

than those specified in diagram 2.1.

2.3 Timber Frame Buildings

If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it

should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas

Engineers document IGE/UP/7/1998. If in doubt seek advice

from local gas undertaking or Glow-worm.

2.4 Room Ventilation

The boiler is room sealed so a permanent air vent is not

required.

2.5 Cupboard or Compartment Ventilation

Due to the high efficiency and hence low casing temperature

of this boiler, cupboard or compartment ventilation is not

necessary.
Leave existing air vents.
