in the case of a flueless fire i would def install it in the same room, how many people fall asleep in front of the fire & never wake up so not much point in putting it in another room

Well that's logic and I agree, but the destructions state other, ??;)

Fitting your carbon monoxide detector

Setting up and installing your carbon monoxide detector is a straightforward DIY task - simply follow your carbon monoxide detector's instructions. We asked the Council of Gas Detection and Environmental Monitoring (CoGDEM) for some additional guidance:

• Place the alarm in a central location, like a hallway or landing - not in a cupboard or close to an outside door.
• Fix the alarm to a wall at head height, or place it on a table or bookshelf.
• Place the alarm at least a metre away from boilers, fires, cookers or heaters, but ideally in the same room as the appliance - though not directly above a source of heat or steam.
• Test your alarm regularly using the test button and replace batteries annually or when the low battery signal sounds.

As far as I am aware co alarms should be fitted in the primary appliance room as that will be the place where the highest concentration of co will be, it can also be said that it is advisable to fit them in bedrooms above the primary room but this is not a legal requirement.

Part J BR states that co alarms should be fixed in the same room as solid fuel burning appliances, not sure myself of the regs for gas as i'm not a gas fitter and dont pretend to be but I would have thought the same way for gas as it is for solid fuel ?

From Honeywell :

Ideally, an alarm should be fitted in every room that contains
a fuel-burning appliance. However, if there is more than one
appliance and the number of units is limited, the following points
should be taken into consideration when deciding on the best
location:

• If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, a unit

should be placed in that room.

• A unit should be located in a room containing a flueless or

open-flued appliance.

• If there is an appliance in a room which people use a lot, such

as a sitting room, a unit should be placed in that room.

• In a bedsit, the unit should be placed as far away from the

cooking appliance as possible but near to where the person
sleeps.

• If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler

room, the unit should be placed just outside the room so that

the alarm will be heard more easily.

Well that didn't come out to well but this is part of the installation instructions from Kidde.
I've only ever fitted their units.

The bit that was sticking in my mind is at the top, the bit about if only 1 unit fitted etc

CY if the 2nd hand flueless fire fails then i guarentee the living room will turn into a sleeping room

No, don't worry, you know I'm with you on that;)

Just the advice for Kidde stuck.

What would you say given a single CO2 detector in a 2 storey home, (not trying to put you on the spot, simply trying to establish info for those that don't have Kamikarsi, (intentional), gas fires.;);)

OP is barmy fitting a second hand flueless and her RGI is as well taking responsibility for it. He must be hard up for work.

Hopefully it will be a CO detector that they fit.

Ah yes OK.

Very easily. You have no idea about my personal and work circumstances and in any event I wasn't here at all yesterday.

PS, I think I know,:A

I am so happy for you.
