distance from a sink

[jl-heating]

i have a load of remedial work to sort out,

1. what is the min distance from a heating control to a sink unit.

thx in advance.

no regulation, but recommended 300mm between sink and accessories, or somewhere it wont be splashed etc

 

[jl-heating]

yes i know the 300 which i quoted to the manager and i have not seen it yet, apparently it is over the sink there fore could be splashed.. local gas fitter has added it to a cp1 cert as needing attension ..

just wandered so i armed for every question thrown at me.

 

[Andy™]

If its appropriate for conditions/locations, i.e IP rated, then i dont see a problem with it

new boiler going in over the next week or so, typical install form a contractor with no brains what so ever.

agree with andy

Looks further away than 300mm.

Looks further away than 300mm.

Its an illusion. its a miniature sized house, so its only 200mm away

its basicaly to regs but practically no good the tenant cant even wash the pots as bangs his head or shoulder on the boiler.

although safe needs moving/replacing with a combi boiler.

stupid thing like fitting a boiler over a spur (stupid)

Get new sink with drainer on other side, or if they really want to look through the window, put some work surface between the wall and the sink.

Get a dish washer.

as far as BRC is concerned it is fine.

I would only move it as per tenants/clients request.

I wouldnt even have coded that, and thats from a someone that looks for faults.!!!!

I have to agree with you on this one.

The location of the boiler is totally wrong for the reasons you set out.

As for the question of distance from a sink I think common sense has some part to play in all decisions.
