Position of bathroom vent.

[colshaws]

Hi all,
I have been asked to install an inline bathroom fan to be vented through the gable end wall, the gas boiler already vents through this wall about 3 metres away. Does anyone know the regs (if any) regarding the position of the bathroom extractor fan vent in relation to the boiler vent.
Many thanks

id say just keep 150mm apart like the osg says for distance between cu and gas meter , tho somone might give you better advice if you hold fire for 5mins, maybe slightliy lower than gas one.... sorry dont know just guessing but..

I have a feeling I read somewhere it is 300mm but not sure so was looking for confirmation or a link to the actual reg.

somone will know and have done this before by the book, and point you to reg or guidance note somewhere or building reg isit??

As you are about 3 metres away and bathroom fans extract air to outside I don't think you have a problem
I would consult the boiler manufacturer or the installation instructions for the specific requirements for that boiler but as mentioned in a previous post 600mm is the normal distance required for co located opening windows or vents

so 600mm now, he sounds more confident thann you or I as he said you could hone:

Thanks for all the replies, I managed to talk to a gas safe fitter who pointed me to Part J approved document table 34 which states 300mm so all will be o.k. Once again thanks for the quick replies.

Yip 300mm , but im one for being safe so we use 500mm but thats just our company policy ,

But would always err on the side of caution , especially with carbon monoxide

So say the boiler flu is 300mm down from the soffit on the wall.Can you have the fan vent directly above it on the bottom of soffit?

 

[colshaws]

No, according to regs it is 300mm horizontally but 1200mm vertically

 

[stuart569]

What regs?Allways just stayed a couple meters away myself.Would like some clarification.Cheers
