2.5 Boilers in a Compartment

Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual position,
special requirements are needed, the current issue of BS6798
gives detailed guidance on these requirements.

A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be designed
and constructed specifically for this purpose. An existing
cupboard or compartment modified for the purpose may be
used. Details of essential requirements for cupboard or
compartment design are given in the current issue of BS6798.

The doorway opening should be of sufficient size to allow for
easy removal of the boiler.

Where the boiler is fitted in a cupboard or compartment,
permanent high and low level ventilation must be provided. The
minimum ventilation areas required are given in Table 3.

2.6 Timber Frame Building

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 the local
gas undertaking or Hepworth Heating Ltd.
