2.9. FLUE CONNECTIONS
FLUESYSTEM
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:

expansion and add an additional sealed expansion vessel with
adequate capacity.
MAINSWATER FEED - CENTRAL HEATING:
There must be no direct connection to the mains water supply
even through a non-return valve, without the approval of the Local
Water Authority.
FILLING:
A temporary method for initially filling the system and replacing
lost water during servicing and initial filling (in accordance with
Water Supply Byelaw 14), is provided as an integral part of the
connection kit (see FIG. 2.5).The flexible hose must be removed
once the system has been filled. The D.H.W. inlet valve on the
connection kit has two positions, one for winter and one for the
summer.This enables the flow-rate through the appliance to be
adjusted so that a sensible D.H.W.temperature may be achieved
throughout the year.
DOMESTICWATER
The domestic water must be in accordance with the relevant
recommendation of BS 5546:1990. Copper tubing to BS EN
1057:1996 is recommended for water carrying pipe work and
must be used for pipe work carrying drinking water.
The minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specified in Fig.2.6
