SAFETY
Gas Safety (Installation and Use).
Regulations, 1994 and amended 2000.
It is law that all gas appliances are installed
and serviced by a CORGI registered in-
staller in accordance with the above regula-
tions and these installation instructions. All
CORGI registered installers carry a CORGI
I.D. card and have a registration number.
Both should be recorded in your boiler log
book. You can check your installer by calling
CORGI direct on: 01256 732300. Failure to
install appliances correctly could lead to
prosecution. It is in your own interest, and
that of safety, to ensure the law is complied
with. Check the boiler and flue is the correct
type for installation.
The installation of the boiler MUST be in ac-
cordance with the latest I.E.E. (BS 7671)
Wiring Regulations, local building regula-
tions, bye-laws of the local water authority,
the building regulations and the Building
Standards (Scotland) and any relevant re-
quirements of the local authority.

Both the user and the manufacturer rely heavi-
ly on the installer, whose job it is to install the

designed heating system. Acquaint yourself

tion requirements. If you need advice on any
points your Ravenheat Technical Services Of-
fice would be pleased to help. It is recommend-
ed that tools suitable for brass fittings are used,
and have a capability to accomodate hexagon
