7.0 Site Requirements

7.8

Flue

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.

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.
