4 Flue

4.1 Terminal Position

The minimum acceptable spacings from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are as shown in diagram 4.4.

The boiler must be installed so that the terminal is exposed to the external air.

It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free passage of air across it at all times.

Note. The flue will produce a plume of condensation in cold weather, so special care must be taken in siting the flue terminal so as not to cause a nuisance to adjacent property.

Where the terminal is fitted within 600mm (24in) below plastic guttering an aluminium shield 1500mm (5ft) long should be fitted to the underside and immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.

Where the terminal is fitted within 450mm (18in) below eaves or painted guttering an aluminium shield 750mm (2ft6in) long should be fitted to the underside and immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.

4.2 Terminal Guard

A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.

If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide a minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal, see diagram 4.4.

A suitable terminal guard can be obtained from:
