INSTALLATION
Connecting the Flue
Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as de-
scribed in BS 5440-1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed
to outdoor air.
The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as
an outhouse or lean-to.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage
of air across it at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or
discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity, it must
also be located in a place not likely to cause nuisance.
In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving
the flue terminal.
The effect of such “steaming” must be considered.
If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground
or above a flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable
stainless steel terminal guard must be fitted.
The minimum acceptable spacing from the terminal to obstructions
and ventilation openings are specified in Fig. 1.
- A Directly below an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes 75 mm
- D Below eaves 200 mm
- E From vertical drain pipe or soil pipe 75 mm
- F From internal or external corner 300 mm
- G Above ground, roof or balcony level 300 mm
- H From a surface facing the terminal 600 mm
- I From a terminal facing a terminal 1200 mm
