7.0Site Requirements

7.8Flue

NOTE: Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water vapour will be discharged from the flue. This should be taken into account when siting the flue terminal.

1.The following guidelines indicate the general requirements for siting balanced flue terminals.

For GB recommendations are given in BS 5440 Pt.1.

For IE recommendations are given in the current edition of I.S.

813“Domestic Gas Installations”.

2.If the terminal discharges onto a pathway or passageway, check that combustion products will not cause a nuisance and that the terminal will not obstruct the passageway.
