BS 6880-2:1988

This standard BS 6880-2:1988 Code of practice for low temperature hot water heating systems of output greater than 45 kW is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.140.65 Water heating equipment

This Part of BS 6880 gives recommendations regarding the types of low temperature hot water (see 1.2.1) heating equipment which are in common use and the selection of such equipment when designing low temperature hot water heating systems of output greater than 45 kW, open vented or sealed. It is primarily intended for use by building owners, building managers, installers and associated professionals. It is not intended to serve as a detailed design guide (see foreword).

The recommendations recognize the need to optimize the use of energy, reduce hazards and minimize effects detrimental to the environment.

Solar heating is outside the scope of this code.
