BSi online...

Library may have it, may be on the gassafe site as well assuming your registered.

 

[davebgas]

It is on the gas safe engineer site, but you have to subscribe to the standards

If you put your contact details in your profile someone may be able to send you a link.

Not much chance in an open forum denso even if you know the OP

Just interested regarding heat shields above fan flued room sealed appliances. Not mentioned in the early standards, only naturally aerated. Anyone know?

 

[Dan Robinson]

It is normally mentioned in the appliances manual.

It is normally mentioned in the appliances manual.

Yes, but is it in the standards?

 

[Dan Robinson]

If it is in the manual, it supersedes the standards.

 

[Dan Robinson]

The appliance manufacturer shall specify a protective guard where persons could come into contact with
the terminal or if it could be subject to damage. The dimensions of the guard shall be such that, when fitted
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, no part of the guard shall be less than 50 mm from any
part of the terminal (not including any wall plate). The guard shall not have any sharp edges likely to cause
injury nor shall any opening permit the entry of a ball of 16 mm diameter when applied with a force of 5 N.
Proprietary guards to this specification are available.
COMMENTARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON 8.2.1.
The terminal should be positioned so that the combustion products do not cause a nuisance, for example, not
onto a passageway, pathway or over adjoining property.
If a natural draught terminal is fitted less than 1 m below a plastics gutter or less than 0.5 m below painted
eaves or any other painted surface a suitable shield at least 1 m long should be fitted to protect the surface
(see Figure 13).

 

[Dan Robinson]

If the terminal is fitted less than 1 m below a plastics gutter or less than 0.5 m below painted eaves, painted
gutter or any other painted surface, then a suitable shield at least 1 m long should be fitted to protect the
surface

Fan flued?

 

[Dan Robinson]

Don't think it differentiates and I'm in the bath now....

Irrespective of what BS says, manufacturers instructions over rule.

Most MI's will state if a heat shield is required and the distances too.
