7.1 Location
1. Must not be located in a living space (recommend
locations, garage, utility, and outhouse).
2. There must be sufficient space at the installation location
and in the route to the location for manoeuvring and
operating the lifting equipment (Genie GL-8 lifting equipment
dimensions are 64cm wide x 175cm high x 95cm deep).
This space must be maintained for future access of the lifting
equipment for maintenance.
3. Wall structure must be a solid flat load bearing wall of
brick or block. Partition and timber frame walls, and dot and
dab plaster board are not suitable. If in doubt consult a
Structural Engineer.
4. To eliminate the transmission of noise from the appliance
and its pipework it is recommended that the central heating
pipework is adequately routed and clipped so that contact
between the structure of the building and pipework is
eliminated.
7.2 Clearances (Figs. 9 & 10)
1. A flat vertical area is required for the installation of the
boiler.
2. These dimensions include the necessary clearances around
the boiler for case removal, spanner access and air
movement. Additional clearances may be required for the
passage of pipes around local obstructions such as joists
running parallel to the front face of the boiler.
3. Ensure that there is adequate clearance for the lifting
equipment (Genie GL-8 lifting equipment dimensions are
64cm wide x 175cm high x 95cm deep).
7.3 Ventilation of Compartments
1. Where the appliance is installed in a cupboard or
compartment, no air vents are required.
2. BS 5440: Part 2 refers to room sealed appliances installed
