Balanced Instant water heater lpg battery ignition

As a liveaboard legally all gas work should be done by a gas safe engineer with marine LPG tickets, I think you will find they won't install a non room sealed unit.

There were BSSC exemptions for non-private boats for instantaneous water heaters whilst there were no suitable room-sealed alternatives, now there are alternatives, presumably the exemption is no longer allowed.

 

 

The provisions of this section of Part 8 in the 2002 BSS Standards are mandatory for non-private boats where applicable.

Appliances which are not room-sealed but which were installed before 3 January 2000 can continue to be used, as long as they are serviceable and in good condition.

Replacement and additional new appliances to the boat must be of the roomsealed type, except for cooking appliances and, in the absence of a direct replacement, instantaneous water heaters.

To help ensure continued safe operation of an appliance any modifications or additions to an existing appliance must be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Defective or inappropriate components could lead to a gas leak or inefficient combustion and the production of noxious gases. [8.2]

I have the cointra heater. It is an excellent device and very compact. Runs from 2 type D batteries. Ignites on demand so no wastefull pilot light. Designed for the motorhome/caravan market.

Bought from a caravan parts supplier in South Wales, it came with parts to replace a morco .

It has past its BSS without question.
