Where are gas fire appliances prohibited from being installed?

Gas fire appliances are prohibited from being installed in bathrooms due to safety concerns. Bathrooms are typically smaller, enclosed spaces that may lack adequate ventilation. The risk of gas accumulation in such confined areas is higher, which can lead to dangerous situations, including the potential for explosions or harmful gas exposure.

Additionally, the presence of water and the potential for splashing or leaking can create hazardous conditions when combined with gas appliances. The installation guidelines emphasize the importance of safety and ensuring that gas appliances are placed in areas where there is sufficient ventilation, and where the risk of ignition or gas buildup is minimized.

In contrast, living rooms, kitchen cabinets, and dining rooms may be deemed acceptable locations for gas appliances when following proper installation guidelines and ensuring adequate ventilation.
