Gas work in college - Commercial or not?

[Vee]

It’s not just the pipe sizing that makes it commercial but the scenario it’s in. Even when fitting a domestic boiler it’s a commercial building. Most likely not insured for it either as their are guidelines on most PLI’s and different classifications. Much more expensive to rebuild a college than a domestic place.

I have always been told (even by Gas Safe) that as long as the volume is less then that stated above and that the meter is U16 or smaller and the boiler manufacture state that the boiler is a domestic boiler you are fine. However I know my insurance covers small offices but not Dentists or Doctors surgeries. However I am not commercial trained and by the sound of it that pipe run alone is massive and would come under commercial

According to the manufacturers instructions this boiler is solely intended for domestic use. It specifically excludes commercial use. Page 4 Headed Determined Use. Any other use is deemed inappropriate, which would also put it outside of any warranty. It's a minefield.

I've just checked that, you're right. That's one scrap boiler now then as they've trashed the packaging!

Just to update, I took this to a higher level and the college is now going to get an outside commercial contractor in to do the work.

Many thanks for all your help and advice - it made a big difference in sorting this mess out.
