[billybob150811]

question re fitting room sealed boiler in bathroom the answer i,ve got at the moment is its allowed with repect to bathroom zones. and the IPX rating of the boiler must be sufficient for that environment, any further considerations i should know about

Only remember that all pipes in bathroom or kitchen must be earth linked .
We have fit a few in bathrooms never come across any long term problems .

Pipes don't actually have to be cross linked, just proved earthed (less than 0.05ohms to main earthing block in consumer unit) IIRC. Although I personnally think cross bonding in this instanct would be good practice (next electrician behind you won't say 'that should have been bonded')
