2.9 FLUE CONNECTIONS

FLUE SYSTEM

 

The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as described

 

in BS 5440-1.

 

The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to outdoor air.

 

The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as an

 

outhouse or lean-to.

 

It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage of air

 

across it at all times.

 

The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or

 

discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity.

 

In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue

 

terminal.

 

The effect of such “steaming” must be considered.

 

If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground or above

 

a flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable terminal guard must

 

be fitted. When ordering a terminal guard, quote the appliance model

 

number.

 

A suitable terminal guard is available from:
