    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 ...??

    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

    You do not need those power figures quoted .. a 9 ‘oss puts a 70footer along nicely look at the type of engine before assuming you know the answer please live long and prosper

    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

    As I am a bit out of touch with current requirements I need to know for a customer if a new first installation of a multi fuel heating device has to comply with the new twin walled flue regs or as the boat is over 25 years old a single walled flue is acceptable I am not discussing the pros and cons of either system just purely the legal requirements for installation cheers chris

    When we took over Baldock , I had the engine numbers verified by Perkins and Diperk and they both agreed it is a D3.152 The gearbox I was informe had been changed prior to our time All I/We did wsa top end overhaul along with having the fuel pump and injectors reconditioned by a local firm I do hope that wherever BALDOCK ends up she will retrain that setup as it nicely balances the boat

    The outboards were Ruggerini's .. very heavy and bloody unreliable I spent a bit of time with Graham and Jenny at Lot Mead when he ran the litho press in the building opposite the main house .. sadly lost touch with both of them after they parted company Great days .. beer in the Batch and a wobbly bike ride home
