From an opening in a car port(e.g. door or window) into dwelling 1200 mm (48")11. Vertically from a terminal on thesame wall 1500 mm (60")12. Horizontally from a terminal on the wall 300 mm (12")GENERALGAS SUPPLYThe local Propane supplier should be consulted at theinstallation planning stage, in order to establish the availability ofan adequate supply of gas.Check that the appliance is suitable for the proposed gas supply.Installation pipes, cylinders and pressure regulators should befitted in accordance with BS.5482.1.Bulk tank installations must comply with the Home Office codeof practice for the storage of liquified petroleum gas at fixedinstallations.The complete installation MUST be tested for gas soundnessand purged as described in the above code.FLUE INSTALLATIONSome pluming may occur at the termination so terminalpositions where this could cause a nuisance should be avoided.The flue must be installed in accordance with therecommendations of BS. 5440:1.The following notes are intended for general guidance:-1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposedto external air.2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the freepassage of air across it at all times.3. Minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal toobstructions and ventilation openings are specified inTable 3.4. Where the lowest part of the terminal is fitted less than 2m(6' 6") above a balcony, above ground or above a flat roof towhich people have access then the terminal MUST beprotected by a purpose designed guard.Table 4 - High and low vent areasBoiler Air from room/internal Air direct fromspace cm 2 (in.2 ) outside cm 2 (in. 2)High level Low level High level Low levelRS 3/60P 212 (33) 212 (33) 106 (17) 106 (17)RS 3/75P 269 (42) 269 (42) 135 (21) 135 (21)RS 3/100P 350 (55) 350 (55) 175 (28) 175 (28)Terminals guards are available from boiler suppliers. In caseof difficulty seek advice from:Tower Flue Components Ltd.,Vale Rise, Tonbridge, Kent TN9 1TBTelephone No. 01732 351 555Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally5. Where the terminal is fitted within 1000mm (39 1/2 ") of aplastic or painted gutter or 500mm (19 1/2 ") of painted eavesthen an aluminium shield at least 1000mm (39 1/2 ") longshould be fitted to the underside of the gutter or paintedsurface.6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of theboiler MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1") to combustiblematerial. Detailed recommendations on the protection ofcombustible material are given in BS.5440: 1990.IMPORTANT.It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice, that productsof combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter thebuilding or any other adjacent building through ventilators,windows, doors, other sources of natural air infiltration or forcedventilation/air conditioning. If this should occur, the applianceMUST be turned OFF, labelled 'unsafe' and corrective actiontaken.TERMINALThe terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate variouswall thicknesses. Refer to Frames 9 and 10.AIR SUPPLYDetailed recommendations for air supply are given in BS.5440:2.The following notes are for general guidance:1. It is NOT necessary to have a purpose provided air vent inthe room or internal space in which the boiler is installed.2. If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment,permanent air vents are required (for cooling purposes) inthe cupboard/compartment, at both high and low levels. Theair vents must either communicate with room/internal space,or be direct to outside air. The minimum effective areas of thepermanent air vents, required in the cupboard/compartment,are specified as follows and are related to maximum ratedheat input.3. Both air vents MUST communicate with the same room orinternal space or MUST be on the same wall to outside air.4. In siting the air vents care must be taken to avoid thefreezing of pipework.
