6.1 Boiler Location

The boiler may be installed in any room although particular
attention is drawn to the requirements of the current issue of
BS7671 with respect to the installation of a boiler in a room
containing a bath or a shower. Any electrical switch or boiler
control using mains electricity should be so situated that a
person using the bath or shower cannot touch it. The electrical
provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations
are applicable to such installations in Scotland.

The boiler must be mounted on a flat wall, which is sufficiently
robust to take its total weight, see Technical Data.

If in doubt, expert advice should be obtained. In the event of the
wall being found not suitable, a floor standing kit is available,
contact Hepworth Heating for further details.

The boiler is not suitable for fitting outdoors.

Any electrical switch or boiler control using mains electricity
must be positioned so that a person using a bath or shower
cannot touch it.

6.2 Clearances

The position of the boiler must be such that there is adequate
space for servicing.

The recommended clearances are shown in diagram 6.1.

6.3 Cupboard or compartment ventilation

The boiler can be fitted in a cupboard or compartment without
the need for permanent ventilation.

Important Note: With regards to the below boiler
dimension of 300mm, please ensure that the site
conditions will allow for the safety discharge pipe to
be installed, if not then the dimension should be
increased to 450mm.
