FLUE TERMINAL LOCATION
The flue terminal must be exposed to the external air and the position must allow the free passage of air across it at all times.
In certain weather conditions the terminal may emit a plume of steam. Avoid positioning the terminal where this may cause a
nuisance.
If the terminal is fitted within 850 mm of a plastic or painted gutter or 450 mm of painted eaves or 300 mm of a plastic car port
roof or drain/soil pipe, an aluminium shield at least 1 m long should be fitted to the underside of the gutter, roof or painted
surface. If the terminal is fitted less than 2 m above a surface to which people have access, the terminal must be protected by a
terminal guard.
A suitable guard (type K3 - G.C. No. 393 554) is available from:
Tower Flue Components Ltd., Vale Rise, Tonbridge, Kent TN9 1TB.
