Fire Valve on a replacement boiler mid-house..

[Bunker]

Aaargh.
Just putting together a quote for a replacement boiler into a the middle of a house. The condensate, flue etc is no problem but Id forgotten about the fire valve...
Anyone any ideas (except for 'put the boiler somewhere else....')

:blush5:

Doesn't it say somewhere in the regs that you can put the fire valve in at point of entry in cases like this?

Yes, they say you can upgrade the safety by fitting a remote firevalve where it appears out of the floor, in circumstances where boiler is in middle of property, with concrete floors etc giving no chance of fitting it externally. Doesn't comply with regs.
Is there not a firevalve you can buy that can be bought for these circumstances? Try asking OFTEC?

Aye. If you cant get it external then its first point of entry into the property.
