    For information I spoke to the chap again yesterday and he agrees that the best thing to do would be relocate the water heater to the new kitchen area I have assisted him with information only and given advice when I felt was necessary and Wish him good luck with the refit

    Thank you to all who posted . a different answer to what I thought, so if he is not a “Liveaboard” and declares himself as such then theoretically he can Like most said however it’s not a good idea on that I agree 100% , I for one wouldn’t want to I will chat to him about this and hopefully change his mind about relocating the water heater as part of the refit Chris

    HN this is the older non room sealed version it’s been in the boat for ages just that the room configuration is changing from kitchen to bedroom and he wants to put it in an open bottom cupboard

    Well thank you for your definitive and informed answer biscuit tin if I knew you better and felt you wouldn’t take offence and have a hissy fit i might have called you a prat I can of course read a set of Bss guidelines , but wanted to Chuck the question out here for real world opinions I thought it was more of a possible issue as it was possibly restricted for airflow and in a bedroom just my observation

    Chatting with a chap today who is gutting and refitting his 1970’s harborough narrowboat ( ex hire ) and he said that when the refit is completed the paloma gas water heater would be in a cupboard in the bedroom ( currently the kitchen ) i was not sure this would pass BSS despite it passing as a kitchen Thoughts ...??

    Thanks Tony need to try and sketch out a calorifier / central heating plumbing diagram next Did I mention I hate Plumbing lol c
  16. Chris-B
    Musing over ideas and swmbo comes up with the statement of : if we had a planar heater can this be switched over just to heat the calorifier in summer , but still run the central heating in winter .? my befuddled brain ( which loathes plumbing) started to think of change over valves etc etc Am I missing the obvious ..... c

    Thanks to all who answered I agree that if located by an access the twin wall makes sense but this one is more of a “ cost effective solution” but wanting to keep within the framework of any current codes of practice etc will pass the findings over to the owner cheers c
