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:

FBS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required --- see “Air supply” for details)

FThe position selected for installation MUST allow adequate space for servicing in front of the boiler.

6The 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.
