In addition, it is also possible to use a split system
by fitting a special adapter to the flue discharge
collar and using one of the apertures for the air
vent intake located on the top part of the
combustion chamber (Fig. 11.3) See Section 11.6.

11.1 Flue Connections
Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as
described in BS 5440-1, for IE recommendations I.S.813.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to
outdoor air, consideration must be given to terminal discharges onto a
pathway or passageway, check that the combustion discharges will not
cause a nuisance and that the terminal will not obstruct the
passageway.
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.
If the terminal is fitted within 1 metre of a plastic gutter, within 500mm
of a painted eave or a painted gutter, an aluminium shield of at least
1 metre long should be fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted
surface. An air space of 5mm should be left between shield and
gutter.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or
discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity.
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
terminal guard must be fitted. When ordering a terminal guard, quote
the appliance model number.
A suitable terminal guard is available from:
