The
appliance
may
be installed
in
any room although
par
·
ticular attention is drawn
to
the requirements of the current
I.E.E.
Wiring
Regulations and, in Scotland, the electrical
provi
-
sions of the Building Regulations applicable
in
Scotland, with
respect
to
the installation of applianc
es
in rooms containing
baths
or
showers.
Where a room sealed appliance is
in
stalled
in
a room contain-
ing a bath
or
shower,
any electrical switch
or
appliance control
us
i
ng
mai
ns
electricity must not be able
to
be touched by a
person using the bath
or
shower.
4.2 The appliance

be
capable of supporting
th
e weight of
the

ance. See Table. 4.
If
the

length
of
straigh
t p

which
must
be
added
to
the

th

i.e.

T
he
appliance can be installed in a cupboard to be used
for
airing
clothes
provid
ed
that
the
requireme
nts
of
BS
67
98
and
BS 5440
:2
are stri
ct
ly
follo
wed.
It is
essent
ial
that
an
airing
space
is
separated
from
the
boiler
space by a perforated non-combustible
part
ition. Expanded me
ta
l
or r
igi
d wire mesh are acceptable provided
that
the
ma
jor dimen-
sion is less than 13
mm
. See
BS
6798
:
198
7.
The requirements regarding
the
servicing space
mu
st
be followed
when
the
appliance is in a comp
artment
used for airing
cl
othes.
No
combustible surface m
us
t
be
within 7 5
mm
of
the
casing.
We rec
ommend
that
the distance between
the
inner face of a cup-
board do
or
and
th
e cabinet front should
not
be
Jess
than
75
mm
.
If
a cupboard is to
be
bu
ilt
around
the
appliance after installation
then
the requirem
ents
specified in
BS
6 798:
1987
and
BS
5440
:2
mu
st
be
strictly
fo
ll
owed.
4.6
The
position of
the
pipes are shown in
Fig
. 3 so
that
the
piping
of
the
system can take place before
the
fitting of
the
appliance.
4. 7 Always consider the po
ss
ible need
to
separate
th
e pi
pes
fr
om
the
appliance after installation.
