7.0Site Requirements

7.8Flue

NOTE: Due to the nature 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.

aIn addition, the terminal should be no nearer than 150 mm to an opening in the building fabric formed for the purpose of accommodating

abuilt-in element such as a window frame. See BS 5440 Pt. 1.

NOTE: The distance from a fanned draught appliance terminal installed parallel to a boundary may not be less than 300mm in accordance with the diagram below

3.If a 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 provided.

IMPORTANT:

Only ONE 25mm clearance is allowed per installation.

Under car ports we recommend the use of the plume displacement kit.

The terminal position must ensure the safe and nuisance - free dispersal of combustion products.

IMPORTANT: If fitting a Plume Displacement Flue Kit, the air inlet must be a minimum of 100mm from any opening windows or doors (see Section 9.0).
