clearances may be required for the passage of
pipes around local obstructions such as joists
running parallel to the front face of the boiler.
7.4 Location
1. The boiler may be fitted to any suitable wall with the
flue passing through an outside wall or roof and
discharging to atmosphere in a position permitting
satisfactory removal of combustion products and
providing an adequate air supply. The boiler should be
fitted within the building unless otherwise protected by
a suitable enclosure i.e. garage or outhouse. (The
boiler may be fitted inside a cupboard-see Section 7.5).
2. If the boiler is sited in an unheated enclosure then it
is recommended to leave the ON/OFF Selector Switch
in the domestic hot water and central heating position
to give frost protection.

shower reference must be made to the current I.E.E.
WIRING REGULATIONS and BUILDING REGULATIONS. If the
boiler is to be fitted into a building of timber frame
construction then reference must be made to the
