Can you have a boiler near the gas meter?

[Markbon]

Hello, id like to place the boiler and meter as close as possible (on each side of a cavity wall).
So I wondered if anyone knows if there's a minimum measurement they have to be apart? Cheers

And on a standard meter its is recommended a minimum distance of 150mm from any flue or opening

Yes, but no minimum distance from a boiler subject to flue clearance.

Yes, but no minimum distance from a boiler subject to flue clearance.

so there is a minimum distance glad we cleared that up.
And it says 150mm in link so if there is no minimum distance in MI`s you go by that and some MI`S had 100mm in boiler flue distances when a plume kit was used so you would go with 150 as per the link

Not to a boiler, no, which was the question.

you know fine well the guy would be talking about the flue outlet not the actual boiler inside the building

I didn't read it that way, he asked if it was ok to put have the boiler back to back with a meter on a cavity wall.

Apologies if I misunderstood.

Maybe the OP can come back on and clarify what he meant?
